FACULTY ASSUME FORMAL ADVISING RESPONSIBILITIES
More than 40 Evergreen faculty volunteers formally assumed new roles this week when
they each accepted responsibility for advising up to six new Evergreen students for the
duration of the students' studies here. The advising program, drafted by a disappearing
task force last year with the help of Faculty Members Kirk Thompson and Diana Gushing,
was created to help students better design their own pathways through Evergreen by
offering them more information and "someone to talk to" as they weigh alternatives.
Approximately 10 percent of this year's student body — including nearly all
freshmen and new transfer students — are already involved in the new program and have
met with their advisers for the first time this week. At the initial sessions, advisers
sought to explore students' academic interests, discuss Evergreen's study modes and
programs, and analyze student career expectations. In addition, advisers encouraged
new students to take a study skills assessment test so those with identifiable skill
deficiencies can immediately be channeled into special skill building programs.
The new advising system, which has attracted some 50 more students than originally
estimated, has the enthusiastic support of President Dan Evans who believes it offers
students a better orientation to the college, and therefore, perhaps will have a positive
Impact on retention of new students who previously might have become "lost" in the maze
of designing their own academic careers.
Evans also believes the new advising program will improve "quality control" of
students' education by offering them an experienced hand as they work toward goals they
define.
In additon, the system solves for the shyer student the problem of having to
"impose" questions on busy faculty members. Instead, they have someone they know is
accountable for answering those questions and finding time to offer them assistance.
The advising system also offers future students, faculty and academic deans a bonus:
more accurate information on what current students seek in future curricula.
Thompson, serving as director of academic advising this year, says evaluation of
the new advising process will be systematically conducted throughout each quarter and
reviewed at the end of Winter Quarter. He'll ask students and their advisers to assess
how they think the system is working as that occurs. Then plans will be finalized for
expanding the new system to additional faculty volunteers and up to 700 students next
year. By 1982 if all goes as projected, all Evergreen students will be meeting at
least quarterly with their own academic advisers.
The new program was presented to trustees at their monthly meeting last week and
won unanimous approval.
ALUMS ELECT MESERVE PRESIDENT
Chris Meserve, a recent law school graduate and clerk for the State Supreme Court,
has been elected president of a newly formed alumni association at Evergreen. Meserve,
me of Evergreen's first graduates to complete a law degree at the University of Washington, was elected in an all-day meeting last weekend. Other alumni officers chosen were
John Paul Jones III, vice-president; Bob Butts, second vice-president; Doug Ellis,
secretary; and Trolly Wright Phillips, treasurer.
The new association, which will meet on at least a quarterly basis, is open to all
-2graduates and former students of Evergreen. Its purpose, according to alum .Paul Roberts,
who now serves as acting director of the Evergreen Development Office, is to "provide
support to Evergreen and its. programs and philosophy of education;" and to "facilitate
meetings among former students who want to pursue mutual interests."
FACULTY, STAFF INVITED TO ECCO PARTY
The Evergreen College Community Organization heralds its eighth year of
existence with a welcoming party for all interested college and community
persons Monday evening, October 9, at the home of Evergreen President and Mrs.
Dan Evans. The event, set from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at 4202 Leavelle NW on
Cooper Point, is ECCO's first activity of the 1978-79 academic year and "supports our goal of bringing Evergreen and the local community closer together,"
says ECCO co-chairwoman Jan Keifer.
Dessert, coffee and cider will be served at the party, a change from
ECCO's annual fall membership tea which was held during the afternoon. Keifer
says the evening party "is offered to encourage more working persons to attend -— including those who may have been unable to enjoy afternoon
functions." Keifer advises those planning to attend to car pool as much as
possible because parking is very limited along Leavelle Road.
Purpose of the gathering, says Keifer, is to offer guests a chance to
meet newcomers to the college, renew former acquaintances, and sign up for
ECCO membership, which provides opportunities for participation in a variety
of interest groups and activities.
Helping Keifer with ECCO plans this year are her co-chairwoman Judy
Annis, and steering committee members Lois Gottlieb, Helen Christopher, Hanna
Spielholz, Joyce Nichols, Barbara Daniels, Marilyn Erickson, Nancy Evans,
Joan Cullen, Ruth Sluss, Miggs Gaudette, Helena Knapp, jjusan Dimitroff, Joan
Littlestone, Jess Spielholz, Bernice Youtz and Bonnie Hilts.

FINAL "TUT ADVENTURE" OFFERS STUDENT RATE
Students with a yen to see the Tut exhibit but not enough "yen" to pay for the full
price of Evergreen Foundation's Tut Adventure ($50 per person, designated for scholarships) , have a special offer coming their way for the final Tut Adventure event October
15. For only $15 students will receive roundtrip transportation from campus to the Seattle
Center, a lecture by faculty anthropologist Dr. Mark Papworth and admission to a private
viewing of the Treasures themselves. Cost includes the standard $7.50 to Seattle Art
Museum for private shows.
Participants in the October 15 Tut Adventure may attend the Papworth lecture offered
that afternoon at the Exhibition Hall, Seattle Center, from 2:30 to 5 p.m.; or at earlier
lectures to be held this Sunday (October 1) at Portland State University (Smith Center 338)
at 3 p.m.; or next Sunday (October 8) on campus in Lecture Hall One at 7 p.m.
In his lectures Papworth presents an account of the Egypt Tut knew, based on his
own anthropological studies and field work in Egypt. The story, told in slides and lecture, spans the boy king's family history, the art of mummification, how and why pharoahs
were concealed in underground chambers, the remarkable discovery of Tut's tomb by Howard
Carter in 1922.
The Treasures of Tutankhamun include 55 artifacts, representing the mind, spirit
and craft of ancient Egyptians. The Treasures are uniquely displayed at Seattle Center,
to create a sense of discovery in the experience of viewers, with a background of middle
/
eastern mustic which lends further authenticity to the occasion.
For more information about the October 15 Tut Adventure call 866-6565 weekdays,
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or stop by the Development Office, Library 3105.

prizes, will carry a' $1.50 entry fee.
LEISURE ED ORIENTATION TUESDAY
A free orientation meeting Tuesday, October 3 from 6-10 p.m. on the fourth floor
of the library, will give prospective participants in Evergreen's Fall Leisure Education
programs a chance to ask instructors questions and to see demonstrations of Fall workshop themes. Forty-eight workshops are offered in the Fall Leisure Ed program, with
themes spanning the arts, sports, movement and other specialties.
Beginning October 9 and continuing through November, in most cases, workshops do
not generate academic credit but are designed to provide educational leisure activities
for students and community members. The Leisure Education program is sponsored by
Evergreen's Office of Recreation and Campus Activities.
Workshop registration began last week and ends October 13 at 5 p.m. at the Campus
Recreation Office, Room 302. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Mail-in registrations are not accepted.
PHOTOGRAPHS ACCOMPANY BATIK SHOW
Seven photographers from Portland's Blue Sky Gallery are exhibiting their recent
works in a three-week show now .on display at Evergreen. The photography show, which
shares gallery space with a delightful Batik Exhibit by graduating senior Janice Arnold,
features photographs taken this past summer by artists/photographers Ford Gilbreath,
Craig Hickman, Christopher Rauschenburju Terry Toedtemeier, Ann Hughes_, Donna Mitchell
and Robert^ DiFranco.
Each of the artists participated in Evergreen's "Summer Photographs" Academic
study program. Their exhibit, which remains on display through October 14, will be
followed by a three-week display of student photographs taken during the same summer
program.
-4WIEDEMANN FILM BENEFIT SLATED OCTOBER 7
"The Popovich Brothers of South Chicago," a film with what Faculty Member Al
Wiedemann views as a special message about culture, music and community life, will be
shown for the first time in Olympia Saturday, October 7. But that's not all. Wiedemann,
who bought the film because of its very special nature, is staging a benefit to reimburse
himself so he can then donate the film to the Washington State Film Library.
Included in plans for the unusual Saturday evening are a Yugoslavian dinner, dancing
and singing by local folk music enthusiasts. Cost for the whole program, which begins
at 6 o'clock, is $7.50, by reservation only, through Linda Harris, 943-9803 or
Wiedemann, 866-6063.
The movie, begun two years ago, documents the small ethnic community of 1,100
Serbian-Americans whose lives are constantly enlivened with the sounds of Serbian musicians. Wiedemann, who has seen the one-hour film three times, says it "is a powerful
statement on the value of music and dance in the lives of human beings." He paid $675
for it and hopes he'll see many familiar Evergreen faces at the benefit next weekend.

-2year's agenda presented
EVANS DEFINES ISSUES; OUTLINES GOALS
President Dan Evans and Acting Provost Byron Youtz welcomed faculty members to campus
Monday morning with a combined hour-long talk that defined the issues facing Evergreen as
it begins its eighth academic year. Both administrators also outlined what they saw as
"a heavy agenda" for the next nine months, one that is dominated by concerns for enrollment.
budget, and plans for the future.
Refreshed from a "quiet, delightful" summer, Evans told faculty that "part of the
challenge of this year" lies in efforts to have the college measured "not by how much but
by how good." He said enrollment "will continue to plague Evergreen" and encouraged
faculty to join his effort to convince legislators and citizens that "it's more important
to teach those who are here well than to worry so much about how many we teach." He noted
that Evergreen's projected 2400 enrollment "is twice as big as Whitman College and many
other fine liberal arts colleges."
Tasks which must be tackled this year are predominated by talk of budgets and the
upcoming legislative session, Evans said just hours before he presented the college
budget requests to Governor Dixy Lee Ray (see story on page 4). Evergreen's request, he
noted, has allocated a higher percent of the budget to direct instruction. This year,
he explained, all state agencies and institutions were asked to present two budgets:
target level, within figures assigned by the governor's budget office; and a request level,
defining what agencies feel they require in addition to target.
ALL TARGET BUDGETS TIGHT
"All budgets at the target level are tight," Evans said. "Some institutions believe
they will have to reduce the number of students (they'll enroll) in order to maintain the
same level of quality they currently have." Target levels, he said, reflect a continuing (
decline in the amount of direct instructional support^ a trend evident over the past ten
years.
Evergreen's request budget, Evans added, "supports our current level and begins to
add back some of the richness of support we enjoyed a few years ago." He insisted that
colleges "must fight as hard as we can to ensure budgets are higher than target levels,
and warned that target budgets will be very attractive to legislators, "especially in this
year of Saint Jarvis, who preaches at the altar of Proposition 13."
Other issues Evans will focus on this year include renewal of the search for a new
provost, whom Evans hopes would report to work by Spring Quarter; establishment of an
institutional research position, and preparation for the college-accreditation visit next
fall.
ELDRIDGE PROMOTION ANNOUNCED
A search to fill the institutional research post, a position long sought by Evergreen,
will begin immediately under the direction of Presidential Assistant Les Eldridge. Evans
announced Monday that Eldridge's responsibilities have been enlarged to assume supervision
of both the new research post and the Development Office. A search to recruit a new
development director is already underway by Eldridge.
Preparation for the accreditation visit next October will begin when Evans asks
members of the 1976 Citizens Evaluation Group to return to campus to offer their recommendations and analysis.
A study of Evergreen currently underway by the Council for Post Secondary Education
is nearly concluded, Evans said, adding that "I can't tell what directions or recommendations it will have." "I hope it will be a ratification of what we have done, and that
it will turn out to be a great supporting document," he said. Plans for the college's
graduate program are also in CPE's hands. Evergreen has requested the council's endorse- (
raent of a legislative request for authority to both grant graduate degrees and embark
on a planning year. The president said he was "reasonably confident" of CPE's support
for the graduate effort.
Evergreen's 40~student Vancouver Outreach program will move to new headquarters this
-3fall at old Fort Vancouver and Evans said he's asked Provost Youtz to continue working
with other community colleges to coordinate development of similar programs. Youtz will
ilso be asked to coordinate a summer session "that will more fully utilize this campus,"
jlvans said. He'll also charge a disappearing task force to "analyze our approach to high
school students," both to "better understand ourselves and our potential students."
TESC's role and mission for the 1980's will be examined by a Youtz-appointed group as
well. In addition, Evans will ask that a review of basic programs be conducted to "ensure
that all elements at least provide a core of tools for students to carry out their education." Evans said those elements must at least include critical reading, effective writing, problem solving, and the ability to define and acquire knowledge that will carry
students throughout their lives.
Evans concluded his morning remarks by sharing news of a report Harvard's president
recently made which indicated support for what Evans described as a more Evergreen-like
academic program. At one time, Evans recalled, Evergreen was called by some the "Harvard
of the West." In the future, he smiled, Harvard may well consider itself the "Evergreen
of the East."
"NO TIME TO MARK TIME," YOUTZ TELLS FACULTY
Acting Provost Byron Youtz outlined his goals for next year and told faculty 1978-79
"was not going to be a year of marking time while we wait for a new provost." "We don't
have time to mark time," he added in his morning talk Monday that followed Evans' welcoming address to faculty.
Outlining his "sense of mission for the year," Youtz said he intended to "move us
forward in critical review of the academic sector of the college;" "make it possible for
faculty to find a collective voice" and "do what I can to bring us together as an academic
community."
Youtz told faculty they "must organize to conduct a self study" to proceed Evergreen's
Accreditation review next fall. Such a study, he said, will "require more adequate participation by the full community." He noted dissatisfaction with the amount of community
participation in the recent development of the graduate school program proposal and said
the "real value of the accreditation process" is the knowledge gained through self study.
REGULAR FACULTY MEETINGS CALLED
Sharing observations from his own return to Evergreen last year after his sabbatical,
Youtz said it was "clear to me...that it is time for the faculty to have regular meetings
to discuss things." He proposed that faculty attend meetings the first Wednesday of each
month from 3 to 5 p.m. beginning October 4 to discuss "critical issues" in education. He
promised a continuation of both the deans' newsletter to faculty, and regular deans' group
meetings. The faculty, he observed, " has lost our perspective that we...are the college."
"We must realize," he added, "that the college is us and what we do determines Evergreen's
future."
Among the educational issues Youtz would encourage faculty to discuss are: What
constitutes quality in our particular educational enterprise? What do we mean by an
Evergreen degree? Should we reconsider requirements? Qualifying graduation exams? How
can we better inform the public of our goals and success? Should we make structural
changes? What do we want the college to be or become in the next decade?
Youtz also stressed the need "to improve the sense of academic community." "I have
become more and more impressed with the quality of our staff," he said as he urged faculty
to "spend more time talking to staff." He also lauded the new advising program which
begins next week and will involve some 40 faculty working with 225 student advisees. The
system, he noted, will give new students someone to talk to, vastly improve our retention
rate, provide more quality_control over individual contracts and offer students more
ontinuity in planning."
Youtz, ever the physics professor, climaxed his morning talk with a "pop quiz" which
he distributed to faculty, asking that they define Evergreen's goals and methods, list success stories they can share and describe the college's most important problems. He
required the "quiz" be returned before faculty left the meeting at 11:30.

smaller institutions. He noted that over the past decade state support for higher education has been steadily declining — from 84 percent of formula during the 1967-69 biennium
to 7 2 percent of formula for the current year. The target budget would set funding at 69
percent of formula for next year and 67 percent for 1980-81.

upcoming events

Former Evergreen students and graduates are invited to an all-day alumni meeting on
campus tomorrow beginning at 10 a.m. on the 4th floor of the Evans Library. Welcomed to
campus by President Dan Evans, alums will gather to "discuss formation of an alumni
organization and the mutual benefits such a group might have for both alums and the
college," according to Paul Roberts, a 1973 graduate now serving as Acting Director of
Development.
The meeting, Roberts says, will also feature discussion and possible adoption of a
charter for the proposed organization, election of officers for the new group, and some

SUMMER THEATER PRESENTS TWO PLAYS
(
A witty spy spoof and a bedroom farce will be presented on alternate evenings for two
fall weekends by Evergreen's Summer Repertory Theater. Directed by faculty dramatist
-7Andre Tsai, the 16-member acting company opens with Woody Allen's spy story, "Don't Drink
The Water," Thursday; Friday, the same troupe presents its version of a turn-of-the-century
classic, "A Flea In Her Ear." Both dramas will be staged at 8 p.m. in the Experimental
"heater of Evergreen's Communications Building.
"Don't Drink The Water," presented September 28 and 30 and October 6 and 8, takes
audiences to a nameless European country during the height of the U.S.-Soviet cold war.
A typical American family "attempting to get some culture" on a three-week tour of Europe
runs into both U.S. foreign service personnel and hilarious adventure, says director Tsai.
Geroges Feydeau's French comedy, presented September 29 and October 1 and October 5
and 7, lets what Tsai calls "all the old comedic bag of tricks" loose amid fashionable
ladies and gentlemen dillydallying in flirtations, suspicions and mistaken identities.
The 16-member all-student cast includes: Bill Burchfield, Joe Rice, Shelby Thompson,
Becky McAninch, John Boyd, Chuck Hamel, Kathi Tester, Carrie Randlett, Tim Streeter, Tom
Lindsey, Phil Diede, Lynda Reiner, Ben Fuchs, Brenda Wunsch, Jack Krause, and Gary Strandt.
Tickets, available at the door, are $3 general admission; $2 for senior citizens and
children; and $1.50 for students. Advance tickets are available at the Olympia Bon, Budget
Tapes and Records, Yenney's and the Evergreen Bookstore.
ARNOLD OPENS BATIK EXHIBIT SATURDAY
A wildly colored soft environment and a famous cookie peddler will greet art patrons
September 23 when Janice Arnold opens her Batik exhibit at Evergreen Library Art Gallery.
Arnold, a graduating senior from Vancouver, will display the results of more than
four months work in batik and soft sculpture in the Saturday afternoon and evening opening,
scheduled from 3 to 6 p.m. and highlighted by personally delivered chocolate chip cookies
from "Famous Amos," a Los Angeles based cookie distributor.
A dozen batiked fabric panels, eight feet high by four feet wide, will form the
outlines of a room which Arnold will fill with more than a dozen soft sculpture pieces
lich together comprise "a totally soft environment," Arnold says.
The show, which remains on display in the Library Gallery through October 14, is
Arnold's senior project, completed under the supervision of Faculty Member Dr. Sid White.
Admission to the gallery is free. Hours are from: 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through
Thursday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 9 p.m. Sunday.
JAZZ ENSEMBLE TRYOUTS BEGIN MONDAY

p.m. weekdays September 25 through October 2 in room 109 of Evergreen's Communications
Building. He's most interested in performers who play trombone, saxophone, guitar, drums,
bass and keyboards (synthesizers).
The Tacoman will direct the group this year while Evergreen faculty musician Donald
Chan is on sabbatical.
ELBOW SHARES "A PIECE OF HIS MIND" WEDNESDAY
Dr. Peter Elbow, Evergreen faculty member, will reveal ways writers choose words to
create a sense of experience in readers when he launches a new Wednesday noon series
September 27 at the First United Methodist Church, 1224 East Legion. Aptly titled "A
Piece of My Mind," the public brown-bag series is designed to allow Evergreen faculty
members a chance to air new ideas, investigations and other work in progress, according
*-o series coordinator Reverend James Symons.
The eight-week series is sponsored by Evergreen Campus Ministries, the Olympia
Ministerial Association, Associated Ministries of Thurston County and Evergreen, and runs
through November 15. Future speakers will include Evergreen President Dan Evans and
-8faculty members Thad Curtz, Dr. Ron Woodbury, Dr. Russ Lidman, and others. There is no
charge for the events, beverages are provided, and there's ample free parking at the church.
Reverend Symons, minister of the Olympia Community for Christian Celebration, explains/
that "A Piece of My Mind" is especially for persons who are excited by new ideas not
completely formed. While Dr. Elbow will discuss some of the thoughts he is now formulating
for a new book in progress, other professors will turn their talks to a sense of value, a
search for meaning, a particular belief not yet firm or other ideas still being shaped.
"This gives others a chance to participate in the formation of work and ideas," Symons
continues.
Presentations will begin at 12:10 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church and discussion will follow until 1:30.
TALENT NIGHT THURSDAY
All of Evergreen's many talented types are invited to demonstrate their skills at the

wacky talent" is sponsored by the Campus Activities Office.

Center on the main CAB mall, or call 866-6220, or just take their chances with an open
mike session.
The rest of you/us are urged to attend. The price is right, no admission will be
charged.

a fall concert of Medieval and Renaissance music in conjunction with Dr. Gottlieb's yearlong academic program, "Design in Music."
Tryouts for the new musical group will be held Wednesday, from 1 to 3 p.m. and 7 to
8 p.m. in Room 2101 of the Evans Library Building. Rehearsals for the Musicum are
scheduled on Mondays and Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m.
MUNRO AWARDED FULBRIGHT
John Munro, Evergreen systems analyst programmer for the past eight years, has been
granted a Fulbright-Hays award to serve as a lecturer in computer sciences at the University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana this fall. Munro, an Olympia resident
since he joined Evergreen's staff in 1970, says he'll begin his one-year appointment the
first of October following trips to Washington, D.C. , New York and Scotland.
The Evergreen analyst who earned his bachelor and master's degrees in science from
Washington State University, says he'll return to TESC next fall after completing the
Fulbright appointment, announced recently by the Board of Foreign Scholarships and the
U.S. International Communication Agency.
TELEPHONE COSTS REDUCED: SERVICES IMPROVED SAYS QUINTON
Costs for Evergreen's telephone equipment have been slashed by 37 percent in an
effort to save money, while maintaining or even improving campus services, according to
college purchasing manager Vern Quinton.
In a process which began last spring, Quinton says phone lines were reduced throughout the campus, with few offices retaining the exclusive right to more than one line, and
many offices combining their lines through a common switchboard.
-9Faculty members, once listed with both a private line and a number for their secretaries, will retain the single number, but calls to them will go through the program
secretaries, who will each have up to eight lines to answer. Quinton believes the new
/stem will actually be a better one for most faculty. "This way all their calls will
be answered. There'll be no need for them to remember to forward their phones, even when
they're not in the office."
The phone elimination process has already drawn complaints, Quinton says, but he
urges users to give the new system a chance. The purchasing manager says he and his
staff "sweat blood this summer to get the new phone system working by the time school
starts, and we think it'll work fine; in some cases; even better than before."
Faculty phones will be working Monday morning, according to telephone company
officials. The remainder of college phones will be reorganized by the end of October;
most of them will retain their original numbers, but loose the automatic backup line
they once had.
Quinton says the new phone books, due out today, will have all the current new listings for the 1978-79 academic year.
PARKING PERMITS ON SALE MONDAY
Parking permits go on sale Monday in Library 1107 for all faculty, staff and students.
New to the process this year is a requirement for proof of ownership before you can purchase a decal. Drivers will be required to present a valid vehicle registration certificate along with fees of $25 per year, $10 per quarter, $5 per month or 25$ per day. The
new decals will be required by the first day of classes, October 2. Those vehicles without a valid permit will be subject to impound at owner's expense.
