three energetic days
NORTHWEST ENERGY EXPOSITION OPENS FRIDAY
International Sun Day activities move to Thurston County next weekend when Evergreen
students and faculty combine forces with energy experts, legislators, teachers, businessmen
and scientists from throughout the nation to offer the "Energy Northwest Exposition," beginning Friday in the college Library.
Two of the country's leading proponents of alternative energy development headline the
three-day event, sponsored in conjunction with International Sun Day activities scheduled in
45 countries throughout the world and in more than a dozen cities in the State of Washington.
Physicist Amory Lovins, author of a national best seller and energy consultant to
President Jimmy Carter, and Sim Van der Ryn, California State Architect and founder of that
state's Office of Appropriate Technology, will deliver keynote addresses at the conference,
which officially opens Friday evening with a 7:30 welcoming ceremony by Evergreen President
Daniel J. Evans.
But the conference will be launched Friday morning when displays, exhibits and films will
be opened for viewing all three days throughout the Evergreen campus.
DEMONSTRATE ENERGY OPTIONS
Presented free of charge by students in Evergreen's Alternative Energy Systems Coordinated
>tudies program, the exhibits — and the entire exposition — are designed to demonstrate the
viability of varied energy systems and to illustrate options available for use in the Pacific
Northwest, according to faculty physicist Dr. Byron Youtz.
Workshops, discussions and keynote addresses will all seek to "offer participants the
chance to discover and share new tools, processes and ideas in wind, solar, biofuel and hydro
technologies," which faculty engineer Stan Klyn hopes, "will reaffirm the usefulness and
importance of these methods — some of them new, some centuries old."
Formal program activities begin Friday night with Evans' opening welcome and a keynote
address by John McBride, director of the technical staff of the National Center for Appropriate
Technology in Butte, Montana. He'll discuss appropriate energy uses in his free address,
scheduled in the main lobby of the Evans Library.
VAN DER RYN TALKS SATURDAY
Saturday features a keynote address on "An Ecotopian Notebook" at 2 p.m. by Van der Ryn,
one of the country's leading solar architects and president of the board of directors of the
Farallones Institute, an organization which argues "people can learn to build and live in an
ecologically sane environment."
Van der Ryn has backed up that argument in his capacity as California State Architect,
and led his constituents into designing state buildings equipped with energy conversion and
solar useage systems. He has also sought to encourage Californians to focus on "creation of
prototypes that open peoples eyes to the possibilities" and to communicate "the technical
basis for redesign of our life support systems."
Also featured Saturday will be discussion sessions in Evergreen lectures halls on: wind
energy conversion, solar greenhouse design, small scale hydro systems, Northwest solar architecture, energy legislation, ocean energy, direct solar conversion, conservation for the
wner-builder, energy education, wood fuels and wood stoves, and energy conservation.
LOVINS PROMOTES "SOFT" PATHS
The controversial Amory Lovins, a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, headlines Sunday's
activities with a 1:30 p.m. address on "Soft Energy Paths," the title of his best selling
book.

-2Currently a Regents' Lecturer at the University of California at Berkeley, Lovins also
serves as the London Representative of the Friends of the Earth and as an energy consultant to
President Carter.
Educated at Harvard and Oxford, Lovins forcefully argues that society is at the cross- t
roads of two energy futures: the "hard" path toward continued fossil-fuel and nuclear generation or the "soft" path toward a society run on energy from the sun, wind, garbage, agricultural and forest waste and supported by an aggressive conservation ethic.
He has become, in recent years, a tireless missionary for the "soft" path, which he
envisions to be composed of small scale applications of solar, wind and biomass conversion
devices which can be mass produced, are cheaper than massive power plants and create more jobs.
Also offered Sunday are discussions on: energy education, passive solar design, energy
conservation for the State of Washington, small scale solar energy systems and wind energy
conversion.
The conference concludes Sunday afternoon with a 4 o'clock discussion on alternative
energy futures for the Pacific Northwest, culminating months of work by 35 Evergreen students
and the two faculty members.
Complete information on the energy exposition is available through the Evergreen Information Center, 866-6300.
RAY NAMES SYLVESTER TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Jane Sylvester, a member of the Evergreen Foundation Board of Governors since 1976, has
been appointed to the college Board of Trustees by Governor Dixy Lee Ray. Mrs. Sylvester
replaces Janet Holmes, whose second term on the Evergreen board expired in March.
The new trustee is a graduate of Seattle University, where she earned her bachelor of
science degree in psychology. A native of Seattle, Mrs. Sylvester served as the director of
the King County Justice Court Probation and Parole Department from 1965 to 1970. She has
also served on a variety of boards and commissions, including the Washington State Council
for Children and Youth, Seattle Committee on Alcohoiism, Governor's Council on Youth Employ-^
ment, Washington Council of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, Seattle-King County
Alcohol Commission, Pike Place Market Historical Commission, and the Seattle Board of Freeholders.
The mother of four, Evergreen's newest trustee is married to Seattle lawyer John
Sylvester, formerly speaker of the Washington State House of Representatives.
Mrs. Sylvester, whose term is effective through March, 1984, is the third appointee
named by Governor Ray to the Evergreen Board. She joins Ray appointees Robert Flowers of
Seattle and Wesley Berglund of Aberdeen and Evans' appointees Herb Hadley of Longview and
Hal Halvorson of Spokane.
KAOS LAUNCHES SPRING MARATHON TODAY
Auctions, trivia contests, star disc jockeys and "unusual programming" will highlight a
ten-day marathon April 28 through May 7 as Evergreen's community radio station KAOS FM goes
after donations to support its operating budget. The student-operated station, funded
completely by student fees and community donations, is required to raise 25 percent of its
budget through contributions each year, according to station manager David Rauh. Last fall
students took their cause to the airwaves and, in ten days, raised more than $2,000 through
contributions, T-shirt sales, and auctions.
Today they'll take another stab at it, hoping to top their fall contributions through
two auctions, slated the afternoons of April 30 and May 7. Students and community persons
will be on the air 24-hours a day both weekends and ,long into the night each weekday, presenting such special guest disc jockeys as Olympia Mayor Lyle Watson, 7-11's favorite local
personality Sharon McFarland, and a surprise representative from Tumwater's popular and
iconoclastic Owl Party.
(
Two trivia contests, popular portions of KAOS regular programming, will be staged on
Fridays — today from 9 to 11 p.m. and May 5 from 7 to 9 p.m. Other special programs include
playing of the New York Philharmonic broadcasts Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and a
program with the Evergreen Christian Center April 30 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

-3In addition, "something special" will be aired each weeknight from 8 to 10 p.m., such as
the May 4 programs which feature the League of Women Voters from 8 to 9 p.m. followed by a
,uest appearance of Mayor Watson from 9 to 10 p.m. Tune in to 89.3 FM now.
RAPE RELIEF EVENTS NEARING CONCLUSION
Rape and other forms of sexual assault are the focus of a week-long program called "Rape
Awareness Week," April 23-29, which has been the occasion for Evergreeners to join hands with
community organizations in a mutual show of concern. Working with local sponsor Thurston
County Rape Relief are members of the TESC Women's Center/Lesbian Caucus, Rape Alert Network,
Office of Campus Security, KAOS FM radio and interested individuals, such as student Nancy
Lemoins, who created the poster and artwork for the week's events.
For the Evergreen community "Rape Awareness Week" offers at least one concentrated time
for addressing the kind of random sexual offenses that have plagued women students in recent
months, says one concerned student.
Since January, reports Lt. Gary Russell of Campus Security, there has been one rape, 13
reports of "males with suspected sexual intent," eight indecent exposures, and one sexual
assault recorded on the campus. Those figures are higher than recorded incidence for the
same period in 1977. Law enforcement agencies in Thurston County report more than 200 sexual
offenses for the year 1977, with violent crimes such as rape affecting victims as young as
14 months old and as old as 60.
"Rape Awareness Week" events for the remainder of the week include: 1) Dramatic readings
of testimony from women around the world published in the Proceedings of the First Tribunal
on Crimes Against Women (1976), over KAOS-FM tonight from 7-9 o'clock; and 2) A self-defense
workshop for women, led by Rape Prevention Forum of Seattle, tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
at the YWCA Friendship Hall. The workshop is free; child care is available by calling
352-2211. In addition, speakers for neighborhood coffees, classes, and organizations are
vailable this week and year-round from the local Rape Relief program, which is made up of
women from the greater Olympia and Evergreen communities. Rape Relief can be reached 24-hours
a day for speakers and for support services for victims of sexual assault, 352-2211.
STUDENTS PRESENT WORK AT CALIFORNIA CONFAB
Six papers by 13 students from the Life Cycles and Cultural Systems Coordinated Studies
program will be among 39 works presented at the Fifth Annual Sociology/Anthropology Undergraduate Research Conference at the University of Santa Clara tomorrow. Faculty Member Eric
Larson says the papers were chosen for excellence in theoretical formulation, methodological
application, substantive content, and inherent interest of the subject, and were chosen from
those submitted by students from colleges and universities throughout the country.
The Evergreen student papers are the results of research conducted the past three months
by students interested in applying the ethnographic methods to situations encountered in complex and urban societies, Larson says. This approach "utilizes traditional anthropological
techniques that in the past had been used primarily to study remote, small-scale, and preindustrial culture," he explains. "Since such cultures no longer exist or are fading rapidly,
Evergreen students have chosen to become involved in what the future holds to be the main
stream of work for professional anthropologists."
Papers to be read by Evergreeners include: "Blue Collar Perspectives of Work on the
Alaskan Pipeline," Larry Braerne; "Innovative Professoring: The Meaning of Being a Faculty
Member at an Experimental College," Megan Allen, Carol Bradford, Gary Byers, Katy Delehanty,
Mary Roy, and Ann Sobba; "The Label "Friend" In a School for the Developmentally Disabled,"
Christine Antrobus, Shiela Creighton and Peter Marshall; "Sociological Analysis of a College
Library," John Seward; "The Ethnography of a Hospital Emergency Room," Elaine Prowse;
'Community Acceptance and Rejection of an Art Theatre," Monica Lesh.
Larson, who shares program teaching responsibilities with Carol Olexa and Richard Brian,
will chair a session on "The Sociology of Occupations" at the Santa Clara conference.

SOCIOBIOLOGY FOCUS OF TUESDAYS AT EIGHT
Sociobiology — a study that raises eyebrows and questions in public and academic worlds
alike — will be the focus of a free public lecture May 2, 8 p.m., in the Recital Hall. Evergreen faculty members Dr. Larry Eickstaedt and Dr. Sally Mendoza will address the controversial
new cross-discipline, along with other aspects of biological basis for human behavior, as
part of the "Tuesdays at Eight" series.
Sociobiology takes an evolutionary approach to studying the causes of animal social
behavior, according to Dr. Eickstaedt, a marine biologist. Most of the controversy, he
explains, arises over efforts to separate genetic and environmental influences on human behavior
and the application of data on animal behavior to that of people.
Dr. Mendoza, an Evergreen graduate who just completed her advanced degree work in psycho
biology and primatology at Stanford University, adds that the field oversteps many of the
traditional bounds of applied science, thereby interfacing the natural and social sciences
in ways they have not yet been joined. "As a result," she says, "sociobiology has more people
up in arms than any area of study has in years."
THEATER TROUPE PERFORMS WEDNESDAY

The Hard Times Theater of Seattle will highlight activities at the May 3 Job and Graduate
School Information Day program for arts and communications with a 12:30 p.m. performance in
the Library lobby. The Seattle troupe will offer a "vaudeville revue" at its free noon-time
appearance.
Nine professionals from the fields of arts and communications will also be on campus
Wednesday to participate in the Job Day activities sponsored by the Office of Career Planning
and Placement. The day-long session begins at 9 a.m. in Library 3112. Advance registration
is required in Library 1213.
Invited to participate in Wednesday's morning discussions and afternoon interview sessions
are: Dr. Alex Edelstein, director of the University of Washington's School of Communications;
Shane O'Neill, vice president of Promotions for Northwest Releasing Corporation; Emory Bundy,
director of public affairs for KING television; Donovan Gray, director of Arts Resources Services (which is sponsoring the Hard Times Theater); Hilda Bryant, public affairs reporter for
the Seattle Post Intelligencer; Mickey Gustin, director of the Factory of Visual Art in
Seattle; Jeff Heiman, assistant music director of KZAM radio; and representatives from both
the Cornish Institute and the Art Department at the U. of W.
ALASKA TOPIC OF FILM AND DISCUSSION SESSION WEDNESDAY
The fate of Alaska will be the topic of a free public discussion May 3 beginning at
7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall Five, just one week before the U.S. House of Representatives is
scheduled to vote on the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, a vote regarded as
"the" land and conservation decision of the century.
The free Evergreen discussion, designed to encourage citizens to report their views to
Congressmen and women before the May 10 vote, will also feature a movie, "One Man's Alaska,"
filmed near Lake Clark in the southern Alaska Range.
CHAMBERS MEET HERE THURSDAY
Members of the Olympia-Area and Lacey Chambers of Commerce will convene for a joint
meeting Thursday at Evergreen for a preview of the three-day Northwest Energy Exposition

work with or are concerned about the ease of access handicapped persons have at Evergreen
will attend the morning session. Weiss says the meeting will include a discussion of Section
504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of mental
add/or physical handicaps in college and university personnel policies, admission policies,
physical facilities and academic program offerings. It also requires Evergreen to institute
a self evaluation process, which Weiss is conducting.
Persons with questions may contact him through Facilities at 866-6120.

VOLLEYBALL SQUAD GOES TO REGIONALS
The Evergreen "Geodoikers" seven-man, one-woman volleyball team placed fifth in regional
competition in Lynnwood Saturday, April 15, qualifying members to compete in interstate
regionals May 6-7, coordinator Mark Schmitt reported this week. The Geodoikers compete in
"B" level competition through the U.S. Volleyball Association (USVBA), pitting them against
other college rivals in the same category.
Schmitt, who is pleased with the spunk his team has shown in only two and one-half months
of its existence, is anxiously eyeing the May 6-7 event, to be held once again at Edmonds
Community College, Lynnwood. Competition at those play-offs will arrive from all over
Washington state, Oregon, Northern Idaho and Western Montana, he says. Winners or not, the
Geodoikers already plan to form "A" and "B" men's and women's teams next academic year, in
line with skills shown among the members. The USVBA is traditional training ground for volleyball players in the Olympic games, he notes, and "AA" (Olympic level talent) is only a step
away from the "A" team TESC will soon form.
Geodoikers are composed of students, faculty and community members, and Schmitt invites
those interested in playing competitively to call him at 491-3092 or leave a note in his mail
box at the College Recreation Office.

...EVERGREEN SCIENTISTS NAMED TO NSF BOARD...Two Evergreen scientists have been named to an
advisory board on "Science and Society" by the National Science Foundation. Evergreen Vice
President and Provost Dr. Ed Kormondy, an ecologist, and faculty biophysicist Dr. Elizabeth
Kutter have been appointed to the board which supervises the program, created by Congress,
to encourage more involvement and interaction between the scientific community and the general
public.
Evergreen is the only institution in the nation with two representatives on the NSF
board. Both TESC scientists also serve on one of three subcommittees which are overseen by
the Science and Society Committee. Dr. Kormondy serves on the "Public Understanding of
Science" subgroup, while Dr. Kutter works with the "Ethics and Values in Science and Technology" task force. Serving with them are representatives from major industries, labor unions,
publishing corporations, other educational institutions and public interest groups.
...ESTATE PLANNING SEMINAR REOFFERED IN MAY...By popular demand, the Evergreen Foundation will
offer its third round of two-part Estate Planning Seminars on May 11 and 18, from 3 to 5 p.m.
in Lecture Hall One. Advance registration by May 9 is requested for those who wish to attend.
Designed this time particularly for retired persons and women, the seminar will include
information about trusts, probate, wills, joint tenancy, estate and inheritance taxes,
community property agreements and guardianships, as amended by the Federal Tax Reform Act
f~ 1976. Described as an excellent information session for the layperson, this two-part
u ^ _ i n g Estate Planning Seminar costs $15 per person or $25 per couple. Call 866-6565 by May 9
to reserve admission.
...SPRING ENROLLMENT REPORTED...Evergreen's Spring Quarter enrollment shows 2,314 students
registered, according to Registrar Walker Allen. Of those enrolled, 1,838 are full-time and
476 are part-time students. Men outnumber women, 1,170 to 1,144. Eighty-three percent of the
student body are Washingtonians; 17 percent are from out of state.
...STUDENTS SURVEYING AREA PARKS...Evergreen students were out in force at four local parks
last weekend surveying public opinion on future plans for Elbow Lake State Park. The undeveloped park is located ten miles northeast of Yelm on Highway 507, the Bald Hills Road. Its
future lies in the hands of the Thurston County and Washington State Park DeDartments, for
whom students from Evergreen's Applied Environmental Studies program conducted a auestionnaire
of persons using Millersylvania, Tolmie, Long Lake and Rainbow Parks April 22 and 23.
"These parks are of comparable size to the one under design at Elbow Lake," Evergreen
Faculty Adviser Dr. Kaye V. Ladd says. "Our sponsors and students felt persons using these
four local parks were likely to eventually make use of facilities at Elbow Lake. And, both
park departments would like to know what the public wants out there before their plans are
finalized.
The new park has limited access and presently offers possibilities for fishing, bird
watching and hiking on its wilderness trails. Its future uses are largely up to the public
and the parks departments. Persons who'd like to respond to the students' questionnaires but
were not surveyed at the parks last weekend are welcome to contact them through Dr. Ladd's
office at Evergreen, 866-6337.
• .NEW AGE ED CONFAB HEREIN MAY...More than 500 persons from Washington and Oregon are expected
to attend a three-day conference on "New Age Education" May 12-14 at TESC. Sponsored by the
Cascadian Regional Library, the three-day event will seek to share information and ideas on
alternatives in education and is specifically designed to address the needs of teachers, students, parents and others interested in innovations in education.

VA LEVELS ATTACK FROM D.C.
By:

Judy Annis, Director of College Relations

The battle with the Veterans Administration continues, but the site has changed from the
federal courts to the halls of Congress. In a surprise attack Tuesday, an official of the
Veterans Administration testified before a House of Representatives committee that course
credit policies like those at Evergreen threaten to make a shambles of the VA guidelines on
benefit eligibility for full-time students.
Carried in Wednesday's Seattle Post Intelligencer, the story cites testimony by Andrew H.
Thornton, chief of the VA's GI Bill education program, who said if court decisions upholding
policies like Evergreen's continue to be upheld "the floodgates would open...and ultimately
the VA would have to accept schools' certification on full-time training at face value."
Supplementing his testimony with examples of individual contracts he felt were invalid,
Thornton also referred to a Western Federal District Court decision rendered in Seattle in
February which awarded Evergreen an injunction, preventing the VA from cutting off benefits
to students who did not meet VA 12-hour rule requirements for full-time certification. Since
then, the U.S. Attorney's office in Seattle has filed a notice of appeal in the case on behalf
of the VA, but that case is not expected to be heard by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
for several months.
EVANS "DISAPPOINTED"
Evergreen President Dan Evans said Wednesday morning neither he nor anyone else on the
staff had been notified of the congressional testimony before it hit the papers. Furthermore,
the college was not privy to the report from which it appears Thornton got his information.
"It is disappointing," Evans said, "that the VA is testifying in front of a house committee
using a report which they have chosen not to share with Evergreen. We, therefore, have no
way of knowing what specifically they're referring to in that testimony."
Whatever the report refers to, Evans made clear, he intends to provide the House Committee
with an Evergreen report on the situation, including Evans' contention that the VA continues
attempting to dictate educational policy which is clearly — and legally — far beyond its
realm. "We are," Evans asserted, "far more concerned than the VA about the quality of our
contracts. Occasionally an individual's program doesn't measure up; then it's up to us to
take steps to correct the situation and ensure all programs are academically first rate."
"But," he insisted, "that's Evergreen's business, not the VA's."
Academic Dean Will Humphreys, feeling "quite heated" about the "eports on Evergreen's
individual contracts, spent the morning Checking information the co^Mese } 1 supplied to the
VA, trying to determine what contracts the testimony may have referred to. By press time it
appeared only one reference in the testimony was to a current contract. Humphreys asserted
that all rei ."-rences in '-he le&lMnuny as Lei; rteJ appear to Involve r: me decree of tnisrepresentation or misunderstanding.
SPRING ENROLLMENT DOWN TN INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS
The Spring Quarter enrollment shows 2,314 students registered, 1,838 full-time and 476
in part-time programs. Of those registered 1,170 are men; 1,144 are women; 17 percent are
from out-of-state; 83 percent are Washingtonians; and 10.6 percent are Third World students.
"Our enrollment is up in every category," Registrar Walker Allen reports, "except in the
number of persons taking individual contracts. Last year at this time we had 891 assigned to
that learning mode; this year we've only 627."
Allen said the decline was directly related to a new and more strict policy which requires
students to file copies of their signed individual contracts with program secretaries before
the fifth class day of each quarter. It also requires approval on the seventh day from an
academic dean.

-2TRUSTEES APPROVE CAB II PLANS, TABLE ROAD NAMES
Evergreen trustees formally approved a bid award, moved three steps closer to complete
of Phase II of the College Activities Building, but left the names of campus roads in limbox
when they met on campus April 13.
The W. B. Davis Construction Company of Olympia received approval for its $125,838 bid
for additions and improvements to the campus recreation field, including jogging and bicycle
paths. Construction efforts may begin this week and are slated for completion by the beginning of Fall Quarter.
Trustee Wes Berglund, who has worked with and reviewed efforts by students and architect
consultant Jon Collier on plans for Phase II of the College Activities Building, told board
members the plans will correct what he called "some serious problems" in the student activities
areas, which he felt were "cold" and had "very poor acoustics." Berglund urged trustees to
move rapidly on CAB decisions "which will change life on this campus radically."
In quick succession trustees approved schematic plans submitted by the CAB II design
team, instructed college staff to proceed with preparations for issuing $550,000 in revenue
bonds to fund Phase II, approved appointment of Seattle Northwest Securities Corporation as
financial consultants for the project, and asked the college to request the State Attorney
General to appoint a bond counsel for Phase II bonds.
Much less rapidly, trustees approved the appointment of Seattle architectural firm, RIA,
to complete design and working drawings for the project. The Seattle firm was "reluctantly"
approved by Trustee Hal Halvorson, who expressed concern that the company was affiliated
(but separate from) a Canadian firm and had only been established in Washington for one year.
The trustees' action train slowed to a complete stop when it got to suggestions for
renaming campus roads. Assistant Facilities Director Dan Weiss told trustees his "name the
road" contest had attracted more than 400 suggestions from 50 people for the eight campus
roads now known only by letter designations. His committee selected eight finalists including:
Overhulse Place, Wild Currant Loop, Indian Pipe Loop, Hidden Spring Drive, Geoduck Lane,
Dogtooth Lane, Fireweed Drive and Campus Plaza. Trustees approved only Overhulse Place,
tabling the rest of the suggestions until they've had time to consider the possibility of
naming roads in honor of the college's founding president and first five trustees. They'll
concur on the road names at their next meeting May 11 at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112.
KORMONDY AND KUTTER NAMED TO NSF BOARD
Two Evergreen scientists have been named to an advisory board on "Science and Society"
by the National Science Foundation. Evergreen Vice President and Provost Dr. Ed Kormondy, an
ecologist, and faculty biophysicist Dr. Elizabeth Kutter have been appointed to the board
which supervises the program, created by Congress, to encourage more involvement and interaction between the scientific community and the general public.
Evergreen is the only institution in the nation with two representatives on the NSF
board. Both TESC scientists also serve on one of three subcommittees which are overseen by
the Science and Society Committee. Dr. Kormondy serves on the "Public Understanding of
Science" subgroup, while Dr. Kutter works with the "Ethics and Values in Science and Technology" task force. Serving with them are representatives from major industries, labor
unions, publishing corporations, other educational institutions and public interest groups.
STUDENTS TO SURVEY PARKS
Evergreen students will be out in force at four local parks this weekend surveying public
opinion on future plans for Elbow Lake State Park.
The undeveloped park is located ten miles northeast of Yelm on Highway 507, the Bald
Hills Road. Its future lies in the hands of the Thurston County and Washington State Park
Departments, for whom students from Evergreen's Applied Environmental Studies program are (
conducting a questionnaire of persons using Millersylvania, Tolmie, Long Lake and Rainbow
Parks this weekend.
"These parks are of comparable size to the one under design at Elbow Lake," Evergreen
Faculty Adviser Dr. Kaye V. Ladd says. "Our sponsors and students felt persons using these

-3-

four local parks are likely to eventually make use of facilities at Elbow Lake. And, both
park departments Would like to know what the public wants out there before their plans are
finalized."
.
The new park has limited access and presently offers possibilities for fishing, bird
watching and hiking on its wilderness trails. Its future uses are largely up to the public
and the parks departments. Persons who'd like to respond to the students' questionnaires,
but may not be at the parks this weekend, are welcome to contact them through Dr. Ladd's
office at Evergreen, 866-6337.
PUBLICATIONS BOARD FACESJULL AGENDA
The Publications Board, which oversees the Cooper Point Journal, faces a full agenda
when it convenes Monday, April 24, beginning at 8:30 a.m. in Library 3112.
Discussion of next year's CPJ budget heads the agenda, but the morning session is more
likely to be dominated by a concern for recruiting new CPJ staffers for Summer Quarter since
all members of the current newspaper staff are leaving at the end of the quarter. Applicants
for Summer Quarter editor will need to be secured in time for them to receive training from
current CPJ staff. The new editor must also select a business manager for approval by the
board, and face the task of hiring an entire staff by the middle of June.
The Publications Board meeting, which is open to the public, will also discuss the CPJ's
relationship with the Word Processing Center.
STAFF DEV^OPME^JCJDMMITTEE^ SEEKS^ APPLICATIONS^
Evergreen's Staff Development Committee is seeking requests for applications from classified and exempt staff for development projects as outlined in EAC 174-112-900. The committee,
headed by Personnel Director Rita Cooper, is specifically seeking requests for projects which
will take place in September, October and November that cost more than $1,000 or last more
than 30 days.
The development program is designed to allow personnel to "keep abreast of the latest
developments in their particular fields...to allow individual development through...independent
study, research or observation of other institutions or further professional training...or to
augment the Affirmative Action program by allowing individuals presently employed at Evergreen
who have not reached their full professional potential to benefit from more equitable opportunity within the college."
Applications for short-term projects — those less than 30 days in length and less expensive than $1,000 — may be submitted to Cooper at any time.
ESTATE SEMINARS PLANNED
By popular demand, the Evergreen Foundation will offer its third round of two-part

think appropriate for both an energy event and a spring festival.
EVERGREEN "SECRETARY" LEADS FASHIONABLE "OTHER LIFE"

The lady behind the desk in the vice presidents' office spends her days as an administrative secretary, but behind her efficient and cool facade Doris Reid plans — and has begun to
live — another life.
The former professional model, backed by six years experience in Washington, D.C. and New
"ork City, has formed a modeling troupe which premiered last month at the Tyee Motor Inn.
Called "Elegance with Flair," the troupe includes Doris as model and fashion coordinator;
Tacoma models Nancy Wilson, Sal Lewis and Sheri Meyers; and Olympians Kathy Clabaugh, Julia
Nichols and Elizabeth Charlton.
Formed Just five months ago, "Elegance with Flair" has already booked five modeling shows
during the next two months at the Greenwood Inn, starting with a noon show April 26. "It's
been lots of hard work," Doris says, "and lots of fun. Sometimes I go home exhausted, but it's
all worth it."
Doris, it seems, has always dreamed of owning her own dress shop and of turning her considerable flair for clothes, her ability to design and sew, and her talents as a model into a
profitable business. Last year, she became a silent partner with her sister, Marian Stokes,
when the latter opened a boutique called "Styles Unlimited" in Washington, D.C.
The clientele for the boutique is working women of all heritages and Doris aims her
modeling shows at the same group. "I deliberately chose models from varied ethnic backgrounds,"
she says, "because really good clothes look nice on anyone regardless of race."
So she hired two black women, one Asian and three white models to Join her for weekly
rehearsals and, whenever opportunities arise, professional shows. At the same time, she begin
visiting local stores to arrange for displaying their clothes. For the five sessions she has
contracted for at the Greenwood, "Elegance with Flair" will model clothes from the downtown
Penney's store. Eventually Doris hopes to arrange for clothes from Jay Jacobs, The Only Place
In Town, and her sister's boutique, in addition to special fashions she will design and have
sewn.
All of these plans comprise a stepping stone to that dress shop Doris has talked about
for years. "Every year I say I'll open it 'next year'," she grins. "This time I really hope
I mean it."
All those who share her hopes are warmly invited to enjoy the "Elegance with Flair"
...odeling troupe April 26 or May 3, 10 or 17 at noon at the Greenwood. In addition, Doris
invites Evergreeners to a "special evening" May 21, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Greenwood's
Pine Room, where her models will present their own show, complete with a professional magician.

-6TASK FORCE NAMED TO STUDY INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh this week appointed a ten-member disappear*"
task force to "consider the feasibility of, appropriateness of and community reaction to the
development of an intercollegiate athletic program at Evergreen." The group, which meets
today for its first session at 2 p.m. in Library 3112, was asked for a final report "no later
than May 19."
Appointed to the dtf are: students Joyce Angel1, Martina Guilfoil, and Mark Schmitt;
staff members Mary Kalihi and Molly Phillips; faculty members Kaye V. Ladd, Carol Olexa and
David Gallagher, and community persons Arthur Buerk and Kevin Phillips.
WORKSHOPS OFFERED FOR JOB SEEKERS
The Office of Career Planning and Placement has begun a four-part series of workshops
for student job seekers. The sessions, held every other Friday from 10 a.m. to noon in
Library 1213, cover information and discussion on skill identification and assessment of
interests and education in relationship to careers and the world of work. The next session
is slated for April 28. Register in advance in Library 1214.
EVERGREEN DETECTIVE UNEARTHS ART TREASURES
Rick MeClure is a one-man detective agency, hired by the Washington State Office of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation to uncover one of the state's most valuable art works —
its treasure of aboriginal paintings and carvings hidden in rock formations from the heights
of the Pasayten Wilderness area to the banks of the Snake River, from the city limits of
Spokane to the Green River Gorge.
McClure, a 22-year-old junior at Evergreen, this month was awarded a $5,577 grant from
the state office to continue work he began on his own last year.
/
It all started with a weekend hike to Cape Alava, a favorite spot for archaeologists aV_
anthropologists. There the Ohio native viewed some 40 different petroglyphs, carvings left
by Native Americans years, perhaps centuries, ago. "They were very dramatic and sophisticated in style," he says, "and I just got interested in them." The young anthropology
student began spending weekends seeking other petroglyphs and pictorgraphs (rock paintings)
and checked with the Washington Archaeological Research Center at Washington State University
to find out how many there were within the state.
RUMORS SAID 100 MORE
"Their records showed about 75 sites within our boundaries," he says. He thought there
were more. So McClure, who fortunately enjoys the outdoor life, contracted with Faculty
Member Mary F. Nelson, a Native American artist and anthropologist, to spend Spring Quarter
last year investigating rumors that there were more than a hundred sites unreported in state
records. His travels took him across the state and back to Olympia several times, to the
Canadian border and down by The Dalles, to Asotin and King County. Within a few months he'd
gathered "reports and rumors" that indicated some 120 sites of Indian treasures remained to
be rediscovered, the majority in Eastern Washington where more uncovered rock surfaces lay
open to nomadic Indian tribes and their artists.
Packing his camera and art supplies, McClure continued to search for the sites on his
own, until he heard that grants from the state would support his activities (which, he says,
"were getting expensive") and would carefully preserve his reports for future records. So
far, he's found more than 80 of the 120 "missing" sites he'd heard of. "It's taken an
incredible amount of detective work," he says. "Sometimes I have to make three or four
connections with different groups of people before I find someone who really knows where a
site is."
Those locations range from one small rock with carvings on it to 30-foot-wide rock fac -,
from river bank art along the Snake to a site he hopes to pinpoint in the Pasayten Wilderna
area on an alpine lake. "This one could be more than 4,000 feet above sea level," he says.
"If it is, it's the highest one in the state."

of the leading solar architects in the country, will lecture beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday,
also in the Evans Library.
Both lectures are free and open to the public, part of the three-day exposition which
begins Friday, May 5 and offers displays, workshops, films and panel discussions to provide
the public more complete information on the viability of varied energy systems and to
illustrate energy options available in the Pacific Northwest. The conference is the work
of students in Evergreen's Alternative Energy Systems Coordinated Studies program, directed
by Faculty Members Stan Klyn and Dr. Byron Youtz. A complete schedule of the Exposition
will be announced before the end of April.
...HAHN NAMED ASSISTANT DEAN...Jeanne Hahn, a faculty, member in political science at Evergreen, has been named to a two-year appointment as assistant academic dean. The appointment, announced by Evergreen Vice President and Provost Edward J^. Kormondy, is effective
September 1. Hahn replaces current assistant dean Dr. William Winden, who is returning
to the faculty next fall. Her new appointment carries primary responsibilities in curriculum development, student/faculty relationships and faculty development.
The new Evergreen dean joined TESC's faculty in 1972 and has concentrated her teaching
efforts on political economy and American legal theory. A native of California, Hahn
earned her bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Oregon. She
also holds a master's degree in political science from the University of Chicago and hopes
to complete her doctorate from that university this summer.
...SAN FRANCISCO MIME TROUPE PERFORMS WEDNESDAY...Eighteen actors and musicians who comprise America's oldest street theater bring their talents, targets and tongue-in-cheek soap
opera to Evergreen April 19 for one performance of "Hotel Universe," a drama depicting
age-old conflicts between tenant and landlord. Combining protest politics and propaganda
theater with what reviewers call "great comic flair," the San Francisco Mime Troupe performs
at 8 p.m. April 19 in the main lobby of the Evans Library through sponsorship of the Evergreen Political Information Center.
Advance tickets
at $3 general or $2.50 for high school students and senior citizens
are available at Yenney's Music, Rainy Day Records or through EPIC, Library 3220.

Kelly are seeking to create artificial leaves which will mimic a critical part of nature's
process of photosynthesis and thus serve as solar power collectors, potentially capable
of solving some of the earth's energy shortages.
The two researchers will share progress in their efforts and offer an analysis of
photosynthesis from plant to chemical levels in a free lecture Tuesday, April 18, beginning

enrollment "critical" issue
EVANS OUTLINES "CONCERNS AND PROSPECTS"
By:

Judy Annis, Director of Office of College Relations

After ten months as president, Dan Evans says he's more convinced than ever of the value
of "coordinated, collaborative and interdisciplinary studies," and is "devoted to insuring
that they remain the core of Evergreen." Addressing a faculty group Wednesday morning, the
president said he felt the faculty's "unique devotion to teaching" was "one of Evergreen's
strongest assets," and that he'd come to understand more clearly the "importance of Evergreen's
system of evaluation," one he described as "a more sophisticated grading system" than most
other typical institutions could accomplish "the way we have."
Defining the purpose of his talk as one to "share concerns and prospects for the future,"
Evans offered an update on the status of the Council of Postsecondary Education's study on
the college, a report on the Spring Quarter enrollment picture and its possible implications
for fall, and brief discussion of planning for the college's 1978-79 annual budget. He also
outlined plans for seeking approval for a graduate program in public affairs, discussed
possibilities for future expansion of off-campus program offerings modeled on the Vancouver
Troject, and reported on the status of the search for a new vice president and provost.
The CPE study, he told faculty, is already underway and must be ready for the next legislative session in January. He said he had "no indication yet" of what the study would reveal,
but added, "I am satisfied with the nature of the parameters" CPE has already outlined for
the legislatively mandated analysis of Evergreen. He felt CPE's approach "is a much broader
one" than the original legislative charge and felt it would provide a "more honest study."
"TIRED OF NUMBERS GAME"
Whatever the study reveals, Evans made clear, the critical issue facing Evergreen during
the 1979 legislative session is its enrollment. "I am already tired of the numbers game which
we have to play," he said, expressing sorrow that "legislators pay more attention to the
numbers you teach rather than how well you teach." Tenth day Spring enrollment figures show
"problems ahead," he noted. The full-time equivalent count for Spring is 2114, "substantially
down" from Winter Quarter. The drop presents two areas to examine, he said, individual contracts and retention. The individual contract policy, he pointed out, has imposed more strict
guidelines for signing and negotiating contracts. This spring some 180 fewer students are
taking individual contracts than last year at the same time. The other factor, he said,
appears to be retention. Between the spring and fall of 1975, he reported, Evergreen retained
71 percent of its students. The retention rate dropped to 68 percent between the same two
quarters in 1976, and to 62 percent last year. "That retention drop is really more than
responsible for our (overall) drop in enrollment," he said. The reduction in retention
appears to be occurring at other state institutions as well, but Evans said he felt it was
an area on which faculty and staff must immediately begin to concentrate.
To help students better plan for fall, Evans asked faculty to volunteer to help plan a
survey of current students which would enable faculty to find out what student plans and needs
are and how best to meet them. He asked that the survey be concluded by May 10, a day he'd
ike set aside for advising and consulting with students before early fall registration, which
oegins May 17.
BUDGET BASE AN ISSUE
Another prime area of concern, Evans said, was development of the 1978-79 budget, which
must be completed during the next two months. The budget alternatives, he said, depended on
what enrollment figures the college used to base its operating funds on. He indicated a base
of 2400 seemed reasonable, even though that would generate less money than the amount

-2Evergreen was budgeted for this year.
Of greater concert than the current budget process to Evans was the impact next fall's
figures could have on the long range future of the college. It would be a whole lot easier /
to deal with the legislature, he said, "if we have more students than we're budgeted for
rather than less. Nothing will speak louder for us than at least a stabilized • - or even a
growing — enrollment picture."
GRADUATE PROGRAM BY 1980?
Plans for a graduate level program are being revised with the hope of submitting a request
through CPE and to the legislature during the next session, he said. The college will probably seek a request for a master's degree in public affairs, which would include public
policy and administration, environmental and energy affairs, human services, and urban and
regional planning. Within the next few weeks, Evans said, the college will more clearly
define the program and prepare to seek authorization for a year-long planning effort to begin
in the fall of 1979. That would permit a modest graduate program to begin during the 1979-80
academic year.
Off-campus programs and the provost search also attracted the president's attention. The
Vancouver outreach effort has been "unquestionably a success," he said, and will graduate
some 60 students in June. Evergreen is prepared to begin a second two-year cycle of that
program in Vancouver next fall with enthusiastic support of the Clark County community. In
addition, several other community colleges in southwest Washington have expressed an interest
in a similar program, notably Grays Harbor, Longview, Peninsula (Port Angeles) and a Tacoma
school. Evans said he realized the burden outreach programs placed on faculty and on the
college, but felt the challenges are now "whether, to what extent and where" TESC might offer
off-campus programs in the near future.
PROVOST SEARCH PROVOKES CONCERN
The provost search, which began with a list of 111 applicants, may lead to a final
selection in early May, Evans said. Questioned by faculty, he noted that among the original
111 applicants were 24 third world candidates including both men and women. All the third
worlders and women were retained for the second screening of the 36 candidates now remainin
which also includes two internal candidates, Faculty Members Maxine Mimms and Willi Unsoeld.
Faculty Member Kirk Thompson voiced strong concern over the limited number of internal candidates, noting that if the provost selected is an "outsider," that would mean the academic
area will be largely run by persons who are not experienced in Evergreen (since the new
academic dean, Barbara Smith, arrives here tomorrow and the president has been aboard less
than a year). The problem, he noted, is especially of concern since Evergreen has no faculty
tenure. "I don't want a faculty with tenure," he added, "so I don't want an outside administrator." Thompson encouraged the provost screening committee to reexamine the number of
internal applicants and consider reopening applications to current faculty members.
In two other brief notes, Evans said he'd like faculty to get a "head start" on curriculum
planning for next fall by concentrating on it at a faculty retreat the end of Spring Quarter.
And, he indicated he hoped soon to talk to Governor Dixy Lee Ray about Evergreen. He said he
had not sought to meet with her about Evergreen because they were both relatively new to their
positions, but felt the time was drawing near when he should seek the opportunity to discuss
Evergreen with her. "Candidly," he said, "I don't think she's convinced of Evergreen and
its style."
Evans also addressed staff members Wednesday afternoon as the Newsletter went to press.
STUDENTS STUDYING GRAND MOUND
Nine Evergreen students are conducting a study of the impact of residential development
on groundwater quality in the Grand Mound area this spring. Sponsored by the Thurston
Regional Planning Council and the Thurston-Mason Health District, students are collecting
well water samples and conducting an opinion survey of Grand Mound area residents.
/
Their survey and sample study will then be compiled by students and reported to their
sponsors for discussions on future plans for development of the Grand Mound area.
Members of the group are sampling well water and conducting the survey in the next
weeks under the direction of Evergreen faculty planner, Dr. Carolyn Dobbs.

-3LOVINS AND VAN PER RYN HEADLINE ENERGY EXPOSITION
Amory Lovins and Sim Van der Ryn, two of the nation's leading proponents of alternative
energy development, will headline a three-day Northwest Energy Exposition May 5, 6, and 7 at
Evergreen in conjunction with International Sun Day activities scheduled in 45 countries
throughout the world.
Lovins, a physicist who has authored a national best seller and served as an energy
consultant to President Jimmy Carter, is slated to speak Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in the main lobby
of the Evans Library. The Harvard and Oxford-educated scientist, currently serving a Spring
Quarter Regents' Professorship at the University of California at Berkeley, will focus his
May 7 lecture on "Soft Energy Paths," the title of his best selling book.
Van der Ryn, appointed California State Architect by Governor Jerry Brown and one of the
leading solar architects in the country, will lecture beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday, also in
the Evans Library.
WILL ILLUSTRATE ENERGY OPTIONS
Both lectures are free and open to the public, part of the three-day exposition which
begins Friday, May 5 and offers displays, workshops, films and panel discussions to provide
the public more complete information on the viability of varied energy systems and to illustrate energy options available in the Pacific Northwest. The conference is the work of
students in Evergreen's Alternative Energy Systems Coordinated Studies program, directed by
Faculty Members Stan Klyn and Dr. Byron Youtz. A complete schedule of the Exposition will
be announced before the end of April.
Lovins, described by the London Times as "someone that more grayhaired scientists refer
to as one who knows everything about energy," has become a leader in the crusade to carry the
solar-energy gospel to the public. Armed with a pocket calculator and years of service as a
physicist/consultant for industries throughout the nation, and seasoned by his responsibilities
as the London representative to the Friends of the Earth, Lovins, 30, set the energy world on
its ear last year when he published a "white paper" in Foreign Affairs Magazine, forcefully
expounding the alternative energy doctrine.
Society, Lovins believes, is at the crossroads of two energy futures: the "hard" path
toward continued fossil-fuel and nuclear generation or the "soft" path to a society run on
energy from the sun, wind, garbage, agricultural and forest wastes, and supported by aggressive
conservation ethics. Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, Lovins has become a tireless missionary
for his "soft" path. He has injected arguments about "the energy question" with discussion on
the quality of life, striving to prove that economic and social well being in industrialized
societies are linked and that both are threatened by the present structure of energy use.
DO IT ALL BY 2025
The "hard" path, he says, relies on increasingly expensive, non-renewable resources, and
on nuclear electricity, which he believes is not only dangerous but uneconomical. His "soft"
path is composed of small scale applications of solar, wind and biomass conversion devices
which can be mass produced, are cheaper than massive power plants, and create more jobs.
Lovins, a controversial figure whom critics have labeled an "energy dilettante," believes
transition to the soft path can be accomplished in less than 50 years — by 2025.
Sim Van der Ryn, founder of the California Office of Appropriate Technology, is also
president of the board of directors of the Farallones Institute, an organization which believes
that "people can learn to build and live in an ecologically sane environment."
The Institute has founded its Berkeley Center to demonstrate how urban homes can be freed
from dependence on "centralized exploitation and waste through a living connection to the
nurturing values of soil, sun, biological growth and decay." It has also founded a Rural
Center to provide an opportunity for persons to learn "the practical arts of husbandry and
land stewardship in a modern rural context." As California State Architect, Van der Ryn has
led his state into designing buildings equipped with energy conversion and solar useage
systems. He has used his institute, based in Occidental, California, to "place our scientific
and technological understanding of whole systems into a broader social context."
In recent years, the Farallones Institute has focused on applying biology, life sciences,
architecture, and engineering toward the creation of systems that provide for "a high quality
of human life while enhancing the ecosystem in which our life is embedded." The goal, he
believes, is "transition to an urban based society that can sustain a high level of spiritual

-4growth, intellectual and material productivity on a fraction of todayrs non-renewable energy
budget."
Van der Ryn also seeks, through the institute, to provide training in appropriate tech-/
nologies to persons with active roles in government, community groups, and public and private
organizations. He encourages focusing on "creation of prototypes that open people's eyes to
the possibilities" and communication of "the technical basis for redesign of our life support
systems." And, he visions a "biologically stable solar city which derives its energy needs
from the sun, recycles its own wastes without pollution, and grows its own food" — a vision
he firmly believes "can be realized now."
He will share those visions with the public Saturday, participating along with visiting
professionals from research and industrial organizations, Evergreen faculty and students.
Complete information on the Exposition, which will be based in the Evans Library lobby, may
be obtained through the Evergreen Office of College Relations, 866-6128.
HAHN NAMED ASSISTANT DEAN
Jeanne Hahn, a faculty member in political science at Evergreen, has been named to a twoyear appointment as assistant academic dean. The appointment, announced by Evergreen Vice
President and Provost Edward J. Kormondy. is effective September 1. Hahn replaces current
assistant dean Dr. William Winden.who is returning to the faculty next fall. Her new appointment carries primary responsibilities in curriculum development, student/faculty relationships
and faculty development.
The new Evergreen dean joined Evergreen's faculty in 1972 and has concentrated her
teaching efforts on political economy and American legal theory. A native of California,
Hahn earned her bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Oregon. She
also holds a master's degree in political science from the University of Chicago and hopes
to complete her doctorate from that university this summer. Prior to joining Evergreen's
faculty, Hahn served as an assistant professor at Brooklyn College. She has also taught at
Oberlin College and the Illinois Institute of Technology.
MS. GRANTS $2,000 FOR WOMEN'S MEET
Evergreen's Third World Women's Organization has received a $2,000 grant from the Ms.
Foundation of New York to support a statewide "Women of Color Unite" conference on campus
May 19-20, according to conference spokeswoman Jacqueline Delahunt. Planned as a sequel to
women's conferences last July in Ellensburg and last November in Houston, this late spring
event will convene women of color "to identify common concerns and to create the vehicle
for concerted social and political action," Delahunt says.
Four hundred women representing Asian/Pacific-American, Black, Native American, Chicana/
Hispanic and other ethnic communities are expected to attend that meeting, in addition to
representatives of other states and the national press.
Ms. Foundation, whose grant supplements a budget under $1,000 from student fees, will
receive a published report of the conference from the Evergreen Third World Women's Organization and will, in turn, make that report available to other groups upon request.
Delahunt, a visiting faculty member in Third World early childhood development and a
Washington State delegate to the Houston convention, observes that "Washington's women of
color are very well organized and vocal by individual group — we were one of the most
diverse, outspoken delegations in Houston." "Women of Color Unite" will not be a feminist
meeting, she insists, "because so often feminist goals must be replaced by basic goals for
survival in Third World communities." Instead, the statewide event seeks participants from
many points of view and levels of involvement, reflected in the broad range of workshops to
be offered.
Built around central themes of "Concerns of the Family," "On to Education and Employment,"
"Across Ethnic Lines," and "Where to from Here?", workshops will zero in on issues like
care, single heads of household, family violence, ethnic women in the labor force, educational opportunities and affirmative action, sexism and racism, criminal justice, current
legislation, women of color in the women's movement, and grassroots organizing.
One of four co-chairwomen, Delahunt is joined by former Evergreen student Graciala

-5Gonzales, staff member/student Donna Hayes, and student April West (also a state delegate to
Houston) in administering "Women of Color Unite." Most of the basic organizing for the May
conference has been done by Third World Evergreen women, Delahunt reports.
Registration fee for attending the conference is $2. Free child care, one free meal,
and bus transportation for those who need (and request) it are intended to make it possible
for any interested Third World woman in this state to participate. For registration or
other details, contact Kim Bingham, "Women of Color Unite" at Evergreen, 866-6034.

SOCCER AND VOLLEYBALL SQUADS WELCOME NEWCOMERS

Evergreen soccer and volleyball teams are steaming into spring competition, with some
early signs of success. The Geoducks' (men's soccer) volunteer manager Kirk Beeler reports
recent wins against KITI radio, St. Martin's College, Centralia Community College, and
the Aberdeen Smokeshop Cafe; ties with the Olympia Bears and Capital High Chatterboxes; and
one loss to the South Olympia Pioneers. Twenty men strong, the Geoducks will square off
next against Grays Harbor Community College on April 23 at 2 p.m. on the Evergreen field.
Soccer enthusiasts at any level of experience are welcome to join the team; just appear for
regular practices Wednesday and Friday evenings, from 4-6 o'clock at the campus field.
The Women's Geoducks are facing what team coordinator Martina Guilfoil modestly deems
"a real challenge" against some of the top female players in the state. Members of the
Washington State Women's Soccer Association, the 20-member Women Geoduck team lost their first
game to the Tacoma Hobbits on Saturday. Concentration on good skills is the aim of this
year's team, says Guilfoil, a goal that generated a recent pro-level workshop with Sounder
Coach Bobby Howe.
Guilfoil and Beeler both observe that soccer is gaining ground as an American participation sport. Senior Beeler kicked his way into the sport seven years ago and today depends
on it "for my physical conditioning and fun." An average game not only offers five to seven
miles of running, he says, it's an inexpensive and non-violent activity. Joining him in
Geoduck games,are fellow kickers like Scott Henderson (a three-goal scorer against Centralia),
Laird Bair, Jim Cramer, and Assistant Academic Dean Rob Knapp. Third-year student Guilfoil
brightens at the momentum women's soccer has gained at Evergreen and promotes the sport as
one in which women can learn competitive skills while they strengthen their physical abilities. She is joined by returning players Katy Rutherford (playing wing), Lisa Oakley
(forward), Nancy Goforth (midfield/fullback), and Marcia Levenson (goalie), in addition to
many new enthusiasts. The Women Geoducks next play the Herfy's Greenlake team on April 22
on campus. Men's and women's soccer both call for 11 teammates and identical rules, except
that women may use crossed-arm blocks to protect against chest injuries.
The good word in TESC Women's Volleyball is that it's not too late to join the "Seven
Fluxes" who face net action through the Olympia Parks and Recreation League. With a current
two wins (against Greg's Fireplace and the Gould's Girls) and one loss (to the Mazda Monsters),
team members stay in form with practice every Monday and Wednesday evening from 6:30-9:30
o'clock at the Old Washington Junior High in Olympia. Any interested woman "can show up for
practice", according to Parks and Rec's Noreen Jenkins. The TESC Women Volleyballers next
face Bernice's Beauty Shop, April 17 at 7:30 p.m., Old Washington Junior High.
Nicknamed the "Geodoikers," Evergreen's Men's Volleyball takes on opponents locally,
state-wide and even regionally through the U.S. Volleyball Association, competition that has
garnered three top championship honors for them in recent events. Senior Mark Schmitt, who
coordinates the Evergreen Volleyball Club, sees a "growing volleyball consciousness" among
active people. He and his 30 teammates sponsored a musical benefit in January that raised
$650 in contributions to cover equipment and entrance fees for competitive events. He invites
new joiners to come to the Old Washington Junior High gym for work-out/clinics, Tuesdays at
5:30 p.m. for advanced players, and Fridays for open-net playings at 6:30 p.m. for anyone.
Both sessions are co-ed.

CELLARIUS AND KELLY TO REPORT RESEARCH
While others prepare to enjoy the spring sunshine for its own sake, two faculty scientists
at Evergreen continue to devote long hours in their laboratories exploring a unique way to
convert those rays to humanity's use. Funded by the National Science Foundation, Dr. Richard
Cellarius and Dr. Jeffrey Kelly are seeking to create artificial leaves which will mimic a
critical part of nature's process of photosynthesis and thus serve as solar power collectors,
potentially capable of solving some of the earth's energy shortages.
The two researchers will share progress in their efforts and offer an analysis of photosynthesis from plant to chemical levels in a free lecture Tuesday, April 18, beginning at
8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
SAN FRANCISCO MIME TROUPE APPEARS WEDNESDAY
Eighteen actors and musicians who comprise America's oldest street theater bring their
talents, targets and tongue-in-cheek soap opera to Evergreen April 19 for one performance of
"Hotel Universe," a drama depicting age-old conflicts between tenant and landlord. Combining
protest politics and propaganda theater with what reviewers call "great comic flair," the
San Francisco Mime Troupe performs at 8 p.m. April 19 in the main Lobby of the Evans Library
through sponsorship of the Evergreen Political Information Center.
Advance tickets — at $3 general or $2.50 for high school students and senior citizens —
are available at Yenney's Music, Rainy Day Records, or through EPIC, Library 3220, 866-6144.

EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS

J

...Faculty Member Willi Unsoeld was welcomed back to campus Wednesday after three weeks
at home following hip surgery. Unsoeld said he had had one hip partially replaced with
"stainless steel and plastic" and was in the middle of a six-week recovery period. But the
energetic mountain climber said he hadn't missed much school — he'd continued to conduct
classes at his home "resting leisurely on my couch."
...Evergreen graduate Thomas Ybarra has been hired as an education coordinator for the
Upward Bound program. As a student Ybarra served as director of the Third World Coalition...
Faculty Member Peter Elbow was invited to Reed College recently to observe the school's
freshman and sophomore humanities courses and author a report on them. Elbow, author of a
popular text on "Writing Without Teachers," and a book on Chaucer, says he's completed his
report and sent it back to Reed, pleased with both his efforts and the chance Reed offered
him as an Evergreen professor to review their programs.
...Recent graduate Jack Van Volkenberg, who led the way to the Alaska Peninsula study,
called from Washington, D.C. this week to report he is working there as a researcher under
federal contract, helping develop an employment proposal which will both put more persons to
work and solve some of the nation's social and environmental problems...Faculty Members Tom
Rainey and Susie Strasser will take students to the Pacific Northwest Labor History Association
in Seattle next weekend. Both Rainey and Strasser will serve on a panel Friday with students
Dave Seemans and Christa Emery, discussing labor studies in Washington State.
...Faculty Member Lovern King reports she and students Caroline Mills (a Shoshone) and
Pila Laronal (Hawaiian native) are on the program production crew this week for the Joint
American Indian Telecommunications Satellite Demonstration project at the Crow Agency in
Montana. King, of Creek/Cherokee heritage, says the basic objective of the project is "to
demonstrate on a small scale the capability of using a NASA communications satellite by
Indian community and for Indian education."
...And, alum Steve DeJarnatt, class of 1974, wrote, directed and edited a 33-minute
mystery film called "Tarzana," which has been selected for showing at the Los Angeles International Film Exposition April 29. His film will also be shown May 6 as part of the "Best
of the Shorts" program in the final days of the festival.

...STUDENTS LAUNCH FIRST OF GEODUCK FLEET...Amid the sounds of champagne corks popping and
cheers of joy, three-fourths of the Geoduck fleet triumphantly hit the waters Wednesday. The
products of months of work by 35 advanced students in the Vancouver and Puget Coordinated
Studies program, the 21-foot-long English pilot gigs tested the waters in Budd Inlet just west
of the Fiddlehead Marina while Faculty Members Pete Sinclair and Boj) Sluss joined students in
a long-awaited celebration.
Building the boats, which began early last fall, has been "a frustrating experience,"
Sluss says, "one I'd never do again." But Wednesday it all seemed worth it when the three
finished products (dubbed Kilgore Trout, Peregrine and Cirrus) sailed across the waters,
crewed by a joyful, albeit inexperienced, band of Evergreeners. Their fourth boat, nearly
done, awaits its first voyage under shelter at the college Motor Pool.
BEGINNING WORK ON RESEARCH PROJECTS
Thursday and Friday students took their three completed boats on shake down cruises on
southern Puget Sound. This week they'll begin working on research projects in marine history,
natural sciences or sociology which will require them to spend four or five days at a time
afloat in their oar- or sail-powered gigs. Their nights will be spent camping in state parks
along the sound.
The fleet was designed by Olympia craftsman Carl Brownstein, a former Evergreen student
who served as an adjunct faculty member with the program Fall Quarter. A boatbuilder now
well established on Budd Inlet, Brownstein guided students half-way through their projects,
until the end of Fall Quarter, then he kept his hands in as an unofficial adviser Winter
Quarter.
Constructed of woods native to the Pacific Northwest, the four new boats are cedar
lapstraike planked on oak ribs, with fir sprite-rigged main and mizzen masts, ten-foot long
spruce oars, and 150 square feet of dacron sails. They're each carefully riveted with handmade rivets students formed from cooper rods and they were all paid for by $75 contributions
from program students. Now valued by Brownstein at $2800 each, the boats represent only a
portion of work accomplished by the Vancouver and Puget program during the past two quarters.
...EVERGREEN AUTHOR HONORED THURSDAY...The culmination of 12 years of work will be celebrated
April 13 at Evergreen when Faculty Member Don Jordan is honored at a poetry reading commemorating publication of his third book, "Songs of the Fire Circles." Jordan will offer readings
from his new book in the free program sponsored by the Evergreen Center for Literature and
Performance and set to begin at 8 p.m. in the Coffeehouse of the College Activities Building.
The new book, like his earlier two, is published under Jordan's Native American name,
K'os Naahaabii. An epic poem, "Songs" is based on the author's own visionary perceptions of
the contrasts and parallels between Native American and universal symbolism.

...RUNNERS INVITED TO COMPETE WEDNESDAY...Evergreen and Thurston County runners are invited to
compete in a 5.5-mile run, including a challenging hike up one steep hill, Wednesday, April 12,
beginning at 5:30 p.m. in front of the Evans Library. Sponsored by Evergreen's Running Club,
the Wednesday night meet carries a 50-cent entry fee and offers awards for the first three
places for men and women and "performance ribbons" for all who survive the course.
Additional runs scheduled Spring Quarter include a 10-mile road run April 26; a 4.2-mile
contest May 10, and a 7.5-mile run May 24. Complete information on all the runs is available
through the Recreation Center, 866-6530.

crewed by a joyful, albeit inexperienced, band of Evergreeners. Their fourth boat, nearly
done, awaits its first voyage under shelter at the college Motor Pool.
The five-passenger boats, which students hoped could be built in one quarter, provided
a "tedious task," Sluss says, requiring students to devote seven days a week in shifts
totaling 16 hours a day for months. "It was all a bit more complicated than we projected,"
Sluss adds, "and it took time away from some of the other things we'd hoped to accomplish.
But, I'm confident we'll make up for lost time now."
ON SHAKE DOWN CRUISE TODAY
Thursday and Friday students took their three completed boats on shake down cruises on
southern Puget Sound. Next week they'll begin working on research projects in marine history, natural sciences or sociology which will require them to spend four or five days at
a time afloat in their oar- or sail-powered gigs. Their nights will be spent camping in

well established on Budd Inlet, Brownstein guided students half-way through their projects,
until the end of Fall Quarter, then he kept his hands in as an unofficial adviser Winter
Quarter. He shared students' joy in the launching Wednesday, no doubt remembering the
sorrow he, Sinclair and other Evergreeners felt three springs ago when their first attempt
at building the Evergreen
'38 sailing/fishing boat ended in a fire before the vessel could
set sail.
BOATS ONLY PART OF STORY
Constructed of woods native to the Pacific Northwest, the four new boats are cedar
lapstraike planked on oak ribs, with fir sprite-rigged main and mizzen masts, ten-foot long
spruce oars, and 150 square feet of dacron sails. They're each carefully riveted with
hand-made rivets students formed from copper rods and they were all paid for by $75 contributions from program students. Now valued by Brownstein at $2800 each, the boats represent
only a portion of work accomplished by the Vancouver and Puget program during the past two
quarters.
Students also completed a comprehensive reading list, including works by Melville,
Twain, Hemingway, Homer, Slocum and others who "explore man's journeys of explorations."
In addition, they developed skills in bird and marine organism identification, were expected
to sharpen their skills in observation, seamanship and writing, and to participate in idea
and book seminars.
The seminars will continue this spring as students plan their research schedules and
prepare to enjoy the results of their efforts, including the chance to, as students describe
their activities, "learn to sail," "try new things," "study natural history in a marine
environment" and just "enjoy the adventure of the program after months of work on a difficult task now well done.

TRUSTEES CONVENE THURSDAY
Evergreen's Board of Trustees meet Thursday, April 13 at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112 / ;
to consider formal approval of a bid award, review names chosen in the "Road Naming Contest ,
select an architect/consultant for the design team"for Phase II of the College Activities
Building and receive an award from the Federal Highway Administration.
Formal approval will be sought from trustees of a $125,838 bid by W.B. Davis Construction of Olympia for additions and improvements to the campus recreation fields. Trustees
will also have a chance to review and potentially approve names chosen by a campus committee
for Evergreen roads now labeled only by letters, to hear a report from Provost Ed Kormondy
on his trip Winter Quarter to Poland and Hungary on behalf of the U.S. State Department,
and to receive a bronze plaque from the Federal Highway Administration for the "outstanding"
job done on the campus parkway.
The Thursday morning meeting is open to the public.
STUDENT RATE ANNOUNCED FOR KING TUT ADVENTURE
Evergreen students wanting to see the King Tut exhibit in Seattle now have their chance
for not only a visit to the fabulous display of ancient treasure, but a slide/lecture by
Faculty Member Mark Papworth and round-trip charter bus service, thanks to the efforts of
TESC's Foundation.
Development Director Suzanne Feeney says the Foundation's planning committee has
reserved 150 seats for students at a private showing October 15 at the Seattle Center. Cost
for the showing, the lecture on campus by Papworth, and bus transportation to and from
Seattle is $15. Advance reservations should be made as soon as possible through the
Development Office, Library 3105 (866-6565).
Reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis only.
LIVING CATALOG PRESENTED FOR STAFFERS BEGINNING MONDAY
Evergreen staffers are invited to gain "a better understanding of the college's educational philosophy and next year's academic programs" by Registrar Walker Allen who next week
will begin presenting a series called "Living Catalog" Mondays and Wednesdays at noon in
room 110 of the College Activities Building.
The free, noon-time programs which Allen says "should help all of us with our work and
improve our ability to explain Evergreen to others," will be videotaped for future use by
new staff members.
Scheduled Monday is a discussion on "The Evergreen Philosophy", featuring Faculty
Members Charlie Teske, Byron Youtz, Dave Hitchens and Richard Jones. On Wednesday "Basic
Programs" for the coming academic year will be discussed by Academic Dean Will Humphreys
and Faculty Members Will! Unsoeld and Don Humphrey.
Watch the Happenings for a weekly update on "Living Catalog" programs scheduled the
remainder of Spring Quarter.
LAWMEN EXAMINE JOB HAZARDS THROUGH SCHOLASTIC EYES
by:

Carolyn Byerly, College Relations Editor

Six state troopers and a Tumwater policeman have managed to turn their professional
lives into a sort of educational workshop. As full-time students on individual academic
contracts at Evergreen, they have turned matters such as stress, risk, and other occupational
hazards into the basis for study and growth. In addition, the contracts allow them to
manage their study loads on the crazy-quilt work schedule sometimes required of an officer
of the law.
/
The set-up makes it possible for State Patrolmen like Henry Edwards and Jim Chromey \o
water officer Paul Buerger to design ways to involve citizens more effectively in crime
prevention; and for State Patrolmen Roger Bruland and Charles Johnson to initiate original
research into human territorial instincts and police administration.

-3-

For them and their student colleagues in law enforcement, independent research and its
daily application on the job have become important themes and will lead them to their
bachelor's degrees.
BETTER SOCIAL INSIGHT
Henry Edwards, 29, a native of Whidbey Island and now a resident of southeast Thurston
County, will graduate this month after seven years of college work. Recalling that he
originally sought education because "a lot of people out on the road had troubles that I
wanted to understand," Edwards feels that his academic work has given him better insight
into social problems such as alcoholism, juvenile delinquency (particularly runaway youth),
as well as selective enforcement of traffic laws and the personal fitness of officers like
himself.
Similarly interested in the physical and mental well-being of officers, Trooper Roger
Bruland of Tumwater, a commissioned Washington State Patrolman since 1967, entered Evergreen
last September. On the verge of hospitalization from stress and poor health himself at one
time, Bruland has since found resolution in better diet, exercise and research into the
origins of stress. His current work at Evergreen is a fascinating probe of stress in the
animal kingdom and the role that sublimation of territorial instincts plays in human stress.
Evergreen faculty member Don Jordan, who sponsors all seven lawmen in their academic
work, believes the students are undertaking important critical examination of issues in law
enforcement. Jordan, a professor in literature and a sponsor of a variety of individual
student contracts, helps lawmen to design their studies the first of each quarter, then
meets one evening a week with them for group discussion of assigned readings and research
projects. He also works with the students individually, as the need arises, and at the end
of each quarter evaluates their academic performance.
INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS "THE ANSWER"
Trooper Dennis Lewis, 34, of Lacey claims that "individual contracts are the way to go
for people with unusual working hours and unexpected job assignments." Just beginning his
college career, Lewis is interested in juvenile law and will work with local law enforcement
authorities to develop case studies on juveniles as part of his Evergreen work.
One who "somehow managed" the rigors of a traditional college schedule before transferring to Evergreen's individual contract is Jim Chromey, 29, a commissioned officer with
the State Patrol since 1974. Only a few units away from graduation, he has long been concerned about the role of force in police work. Himself an advocate of "calming people down
by talking to them" when possible, he is not unaware of the occasional surly customer who
threatens the safety of another, resists arrest, or otherwise requires physical control in
the course of his job.
Chromey is engaged in research on recruitment and training practices of officers
because "you can best address issues like the use of force in the early stages" of a lawman's career. He also plans to explore the means for good officer-public communications
because "the way the public perceives law enforcement figures has a lot to do with the way
they react when we make a stop (during duty)."
Also concerned about officer-public relations, Trooper David Nickerson, 28, of Lacey
is finishing the last two years of his undergraduate work at Evergreen. "The more schooling
an officer gets," offers Nickerson, "the better he'll be able to do his job and the higher
quality professionals we'll have." He feels strongly that he must know as much as possible
about people and the world around him to deal effectively on the road. While Nickerson is
presently researching aspects of negligent homicide investigation, the majority of his work
will survey the social sciences and other study fields.
"WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION" PROVIDED
Although all student lawmen are specializing in law enforcement studies, their contracts
establish broader learning objectives, in line with the college's liberal arts policies.
Spring Quarter activities have, for instance, included films, non-fictional reading and discussion on psycholinguistics, psychology and criminology, as well as novels and stories by
Mark Twain and Native American authors. Sponsor Jordan has also invited ex-offenders, outside professionals from different fields, and other Evergreen faculty to give guest lectures.
This enables each student lawman to solve the problems of scheduling college work by
studying on individual academic contract, and to benefit from zeroing in on a speciality of
his choice. It also makes sure each officer will have attained a sound liberal arts education by graduation.

-4s
Trooper Edwards is only one voice among the seven to express love of job because it
offers "variety, room for meaningful human contact, and a chance to help others." College
work opens more doors for advancement in that profession, they say, and for living a well-grounded life.
upcoming events
FLAMENCO DANCERS PERFORM TUESDAY AT 8
The excitement and fire of flamenco dancing comes to Evergreen April 11 when the exotic
•Isabel and Teodoro Morca perform in concert in the Tuesdays at Eight series beginning at
8 p.m. in the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building. Hailed by critics as
"elegant and volatile long-time practitioners of the art of flamenco," the Morcas and their
audience will be welcomed to TESC after the performance with a reception hosted by members
of the Evergreen College Community Organization, a cosponsor of the concert series. The
event also celebrates the first time Tuesdays at Eight has been presented in Evergreen's
new Experimental Theater.
Accompanied by classical guitarist Gary Hayes, the Morcas will perform an unusual blend
of traditional and original choreographies, using Spanish traditions as a basis for story
dramas, legends and pantomime. Their performance promises to convey a full range of emotions through advanced technical skill, style, personality and what reviewers have labeled
"pure charm."
Teodoro Morca, who directs the Morca Academy of Creative Arts with his wife, has been
dancing in concert since 1955. His clicking heels have performed throughout the United
States and Europe with a number of the world's best known dance companies. He has served
on the faculties of the University of California at Los Angeles, Loyola - Marmount University
and Inner City Cultural Center, and is currently an adjunct professor at Western Washington
University. Isabel Morca, formerly a featured performer with the Jose Greco Company, is /
nationally recognized as one of the finest teachers of classical ballet and Spanish flamenv .
She's viewed as a "brilliant artist, infusing every dance with the exciting artistry that
transcends technique."
The Morca's Evergreen performance is also cosponsored by the Washington State Arts
Commission, and the Evergreen Foundation. Tickets — at $3 general or $1.50 for students —
will be available at the door of the Communications Building.
JORDAN HONORED AT THURSDAY READING
The culmination of 12 years of work will be celebrated April 13 at The Evergreen State
College when Faculty Member Don Jordan is honored at a poetry reading commemorating publication of his third book, "Songs of the Fire Circles."
Jordan will offer readings from his new book in the free program sponsored by the
Evergreen Center for Literature and Performance and set to begin at 8 p.m. in the Coffeehouse
of the College Activities Building.
The new book, like his earlier two, is published under Jordan's Native American name,
K'os Naahaabii. An epic poem, "Songs" is based on the author's own visionary perceptions
of the contrasts and parallels between Native American and universal symbolism.
Published by Blue Oak Press of California, the book was released April 1. It is
illustrated by Evergreen Faculty Member Mary F. Nelson, who will also participate in the
April 13 celebration.
Jordan joined Evergreen's faculty in 1972. He holds a bachelor's degree from Humboldt
State University. His earlier books, also published by Blue Oak Press, are entitled "Notes
From The Center Of The Earth," and "Bitter Roots of Peace." Jordan has also had his work
included in several poetry anthologies and in other national publications.
/
The Thursday evening reading is open to the public.
ROAD RUN SET WEDNESDAY
Evergreen and Thurston County runners are invited to compete in a 5.5-mile run,
including a challenging hike up one steep hill, Wednesday, April 12, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

-5-

in front of the Evans Library. Sponsored by Evergreen's Running Club, the Wednesday night
meet carries a 50-cent entry fee and offers awards for the first three places for men and
women and "performance ribbons" for all who survive the course.
Additional runs scheduled Spring Quarter include a 10-mile road run April 26; a 4.2-mile
contest May 10, and a 7.5-mile run May 24. Complete information on all the runs is available through the Recreation Center, 866-6530.
KAOS WORKSHOP BEGINS WEDNESDAY
The KAOS basic workshop begins Wednesday, April 12 and continues for six weeks. The
free workshop is designed to provide training in the use of KAOS equipment and of radio
logs. Study sessions to obtain required FCC licenses will also be conducted. By the end
of the six-week course workshop participants will be qualified to go "on the air." The
workshop, offered Wednesdays from 7 to 10 p.m. in CAB 304, will also provide background in
community radio as it is used around the country and will encourage operators to become
aware of the community into which they are broadcasting. Complete information is available
at 866-5267.
JAZZ CONCERT TO BENEFIT KAOS
KAOS FM radio will host a benefit concert April 15 featuring the New Jack DeJohnette
Quartet with John Abercrombie, Lester Bowie, and Eddie Gomez. The concert will be held in
the Recital Hall of the Communications Building, with shows at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Tickets
are $5.50 in advance and $6.50 at the door with proceeds benefitting KAOS FM. Tickets can
be purchased at Budget Tapes and Records, Rainy Day Records, The Gnu Deli, and at the
Evergreen Bookstore. Tickets are also available in Seattle at Peaches Records and Tapes,
811 NE 45th St.
DeJohnette is described as "among the most melodic and versatile drummers in modern
jazz." His playing owes equally to the melodic precision of Art Blakey and the influences of
African and third world percussionists. For his Evergreen concerts DeJohnette has merged
talents with three equally varied and talented performers: Guitarist John Abercrombie;
Trumpeter Lester Bowie; and Bass Player Eddie Gomez.
The April concerts are the only Northwest appearances of this all-star group. Questions
concerning their performances may be addressed to David Rauh at 866-5267 or Joe Murphy
at 943-9181.
AAAA MEETING SET
Affirmative Action Officer Rindetta Jones has announced the fourth annual conference of
the American Association for Affirmative Action will be held April 19-21 in Denver, Colorado.
Jones plans to attend the three-day meet, which will focus on "Challenges for the Future."
POTTERS INVITED TO "THROWING" POTLUCK
Evergreen potters are invited to help build themselves a new kiln by attending a
Ceramic Potluck and Throwing Party beginning at noon on both April 14 and 15 in Ceramics 201
Building.
Student Allen Whitehead says that "a ton of clay has been provided" by the Services and
Activities Fees Review Board for the party, so products made at the two work sessions can be
sold to raise money for a new, smaller kiln. "This," says Whitehead to all campus potters,
"is your studio and we need your support." If you'd like more information, call the studio
at 866-6247.

-6RAPE ALERT NETWORK IN OPERATION
What began as an angry cry of protest at the rising incidence of sexual assault and f
harrassment on or near the Evergreen campus has culminated this quarter in the Rape Alert \
highest level of sexual violence ever to mark Evergreen's history, according to spokeswoman
Becca Todd.
Lt. Gary Russell of Campus Security describes that level as one rape, 13 reports of
males with suspected sexual intent, eight indecent exposures, and one sexual assault since
January. Russell observes that Evergreen's problems are in line with higher incidence of
sexual crimes in other parts of Thurston County.
Making use of bulletin boards and an ever-ready "telephone tree," the Network will
spring into action whenever a woman reports or posts information concerning a suspected
assailant, vehicles or persons connected with sexual assaults or harrassment, or other
details that might help others to be better informed about hazards in the community.
Todd urges all concerned persons to begin routinely checking bulletin boards at the
CAB Information, Women's and Recreation Centers; student housing units; and (downtown
Olympia) Food Co-Op. In addition, new facts can be submitted to any of the participating
"telephone tree" groups: Gay Resources Center, Men's Center, Women's Center/Lesbian Caucus,
Ash Housing, or the Peace-Conflict-Social Change program, which will in turn, post it for the
general public. She also encourages women who are verbally or physically harrassed or
attacked to report details to Campus Security and/or local law enforcement authorities.
Information and support related to legal and medical procedures, and myths and facts about
sexual assault can be acquired from the Thurston County Rape Relief program, 352-2211, which
offers 24-hours-a-day service.
To further foster safety, Campus Security Director McDonald Smith urges women to jog
and run in pairs, whenever possible, and to notify his department of any circumstances that
they feel threaten the safety of students on campus. While legal constraints interfere with
Security's participation in the info sharing activities of the Network, Smith says that hi{
staff can be an "information resource" to students and work with local law enforcement
authorities on crimes committed on campus.
Todd suggests that women joggers find each other through the Network's bulletin boards.
One of several on an ad hoc committee to establish the Rape Alert Network, Todd believes
that sexual assault should not be a hush-hush affair. "We need a visible way of dealing
with assault threats," she says, "one that guarantees assailants will not go unnoticed."

...SPRING QUARTER REGISTRATION CONTINUES...Registration for Spring Quarter studies at Evergreen
reopened March 29 with a 90-minute academic fair designed to provide prospective students with
complete information on courses of their choice. Spring registration continues weekdays
through April 5, the final deadline for payment of tuition and fees. Special evening registration hours are offered April 3, 4 and 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Registrar's Office.
...LEISURE EDUCATION WORKSHOPS OPEN TODAY...Registration for 48 Leisure Education workshops
offered by Evergreen Spring Quarter begins Monday, April 3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the
College Recreation Center. Evening registration is also offered, from 6 to 8:30 April 5 and 6.
The workshops, offered to Evergreen students and community residents for nominal fees, range
from programs directed toward improving one's health, to art workshops, sports training, dance
and martial arts sessions and several miscellaneous offerings.
Registration for the sessions, which do not generate academic credit, continues weekdays
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Wednesday, April 12. Nearly all the Spring sessions begin the
week of April 10 and continue for eight weeks.
Offered at Evergreen this spring are 13 workshops in art, six in health, nine in dance,
seven in sports, four in martial arts, three in music and seven sessions which defy categorization. Stop by the College Recreation Center for complete details.
...COMMISSION MEETING WILL BE BROADCAST LIVE...Campus radio station KAOS (89.3 FM) has been
granted permission from the Olympia City Commissioners to begin live broadcasts of their
meetings. KAOS news director Judy Hyslop says it's the first time any live broadcasts of
commission meetings will be aired — and she hopes the student-operated, non-commercial
station can begin the broadcasts "no later than the first of May <— as soon as we have funds
to support its cost."
Because KAOS is non-commercial, Hyslop says costs are limited to fees for installation
and service of a special "dedicated phone line" to connect City Hall and KAOS studios.
Installation costs have already been picked up by the Thurston County League of Women
Voters. But a monthly fee of $11.50 must also be paid to maintain the phone line for the
broadcasts. Hyslop hopes she'll be able to raise support from Olympia area citizens and
businesses to underwrite the monthly bill.
