...PORT ANGELES PROGRAM ANNOUNCED...Evergreen will begin next fall to offer an upper division program for residents of Washington's Olympic Peninsula who are seeking to complete
their four-year Bachelor of Arts degrees, President Dan Evans announced last week. Speaking
to members of the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce January 22, Evans said Evergreen plans in
September to open a two-year program in fine arts and humanities for persons who already have
completed two years of community college or undergraduate work and seek to earn their bachelor's degrees without having to leave the Peninsula area.
The new Evergreen program, which will probably be based at Peninsula Community College,
will offer both full and part-time study opportunities coordinated by Evergreen faculty
members Dr. Andrew Hanfman and Dr. William Winden, possibly with assistance from additional
part-time professors.
Evans said the new program will be designed to accommodate "40 to 60 students" and
will be modeled after TESC's successful Outreach Program in Vancouver, Washington. That
effort, which opened in the fall of 1976,operates in cooperation with Clark Community
College and has already graduated more than 70 students, Evans said.
Exact curriculum offerings for the Port Angeles Evergreen Program will be announced
following completion of a community survey which Evans said college staff is conducting in
the Peninsula area this quarter. The survey, coupled with suggestions from a soon-to-be
created Peninsula Advisory Committee, will offer Evans and Evergreen the additional information they need to complete curriculum plans for next fall.
...OLYMPIAN ELECTED FOUNDATION HEAD...Olympian Dennis Peterson, Vice President of Foster
and Marshall, Inc., has been elected chairman of The Evergreen Foundation. Peterson, branch
manager of Foster and Marshall's Olympia office, has served on the Foundation board since
its inception two years ago and most recently completed a one-year term as vice-chairman.
Three other new officers were also recently chosen to head the 15-member Foundation
board which seeks to raise funds to support Evergreen activities, such as scholarship programs for which state monies cannot be spent. Serving as officers with Peterson are Dr.
Eugene Hall of Kirkland, vice chairman; Joan Thomas of Aberdeen as secretary, and John
Murray of Seattle, treasurer. Their terms are effective through January, 1980.
...WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FACULTY TO PERFORM...Four faculty musicians from Western
Washington University will form three different trios to present a classical concert for
Tuesdays at Eight audiences February 6, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's
Communications Building. Charmian Gadd, who recently presented a violin concert at Evergreen, returns with her November accompanist pianist Ford Hill, and with cellist Barton
Frank and clarinetist Eugene Zoro for a full program of modern and standard selections.
The first trio will combine viola, clarinet and piano for a "Concertino" composed by
Alfred Uhl in 1928. Western musicians will transform into a piano trio to present Mendelssohn's "Piano Trio in D Minor" and then regroup for Bartok's "Contrasts," featuring violin,
clarinet and piano.
Reservations for the ensemble's concert, which is cosponsored by Tuesdays at Eight
and POSSCA (Patrons of South Sound Cultural Arts), may be made by calling Evergreen's
Office of College Relations, 866-6128. Tickets go on sale at the door of the Communications Building at 7:30 p.m. February 6 f for $2.50 general admission or $1.50 student
admission.

Smith expands offerings

SUMMER PROGRAMS OFFER MORE CHOICE TO TARGETED AUDIENCES
"Summer at Evergreen, 1979," due to arrive around March 1, won't signal a change in
local weather so much as it will some new directions in Evergreen summer studies. The
summer catalog,just gone to typesetting, reveals a larger selection of programs — more
than 50% over the past summer — for the two five-week and one ten-week sessions. Expansion
is greatest in choices for teachers, ethnic monorities, women, and persons in the arts
target populations believed by planning faculty to represent the greatest potential for
recruitment.
Under the coordination of Academic Dean Barbara Smith, summer planning seeks to reach
the continuing Evergreen student; as well as local residents enrolled in colleges elsewhere
but returning to Olympia for the summer; teachers who want to further their educations;
and out-of-state undergrads who would find a term at Evergreen a welcome switch from their
regular colleges. To further encourage this last group, Smith last fall asked and received
approval of Evergreen trustees to drop out-of-state tuition to that of resident rates,
thereby putting TESC in line with policies of other Washington state institutions. In
addition, some astute marketing research by Smith has begun to identify specific individuals,
groups and colleges where advance materials and catalogs will be mailed, informing potential
students of Evergreen's summer offerings.
SESSIONS BEGIN JUNE 18
Summer students attending the first session, June 18-July 20, can look forward to studies
in Analysis of Public Policy; Aquatic Ecology; Ballet: Classical and Character, Class to
Performance; Career Planning for Starters; Clayworks; Composition from a Regional Viewpoint;
Energy and the Environment: A Science Teaching Workshop; Environmental Design; Human Sexuality; Improvisation for the Theater; Invitation to Theater: Stratford Study Tour; Sex Roles
in Western Civilization; Southwest Washington: Subregional Economic Development in the
Pacific Northwest; Stagecraft: Lighting and Special Problems; The Family Beseiged; Vancouver
Outreach; Wagner's Ring Cycle (to be offered July 2-23, concurrent with the Seattle Opera
production of the same name ).
Students interested in the second five-week session, July 23-August 31, may select
from Calculus Strategies; Coastal Natural History; Drawing from the Landscape; Effective
Public Speaking; History of Costume for the Stage; In Search of Eloquence: Public Speaking
and Public Policy; Shamanic Voices; Stagecraft: Lighting and Special Problems; The Institute
of Black Western Culture: Black Women in the Media; and Women in American Society.
And, those who enroll for the full ten-week summer program, June 18-August 31, may immerse
themselves in As You Sow: Alternative Agriculture and the Survival of the Family Farm;
Fiction Writing Workshops; Native American Weaving; Northwest Institute of Native American
Studies; Exploration of East and West Coast Native American Cultures; Program and Policy
Evaluation; Sex Roles in Western Civilization and American Society; Self-Directed Learning;
Summer Photo Institute; Summer Repertory Theater;.and Us and Them: Ethnographic Film and
Video Production.
THREE WAYS TO REGISTER
Summer students may register three ways: 1) By completing and mailing in a special
student registration fbrnn (in the summer catalog or available from Registrar) no later than
June 25; 2) By attending the Summer Academic Fair on May 16, first floor Library; or by
3) registering in person at the Registrar's office, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays between
March 12 and June 25. As for other academic sessions, summer enrollment is on a first-come
first served basis; some programs require instructor's signature. Evergreeners and others
interested in checking out a "Summer at Evergreen, 1979" may request a catalog at the Office
of Admissions, Library 1200, 866-6170, after March 1.

EVANS ANNOUNCES PORT ANGELES OUTREACH PROGRAM
Evergreen State College will begin next fall to offer an upper division program for
residents of Washington's Peninsula who are seeking to complete their four-year Bachelor
of Arts degrees, President Dan Evans announced earlier this week. Speaking to members of
the Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce Monday, Evans said Evergreen plans in September to open
a two-year program in fine arts and humanities for persons who already have completed two
years of community college or undergraduate work and seek to earn their bachelor's degrees
without having to leave the Peninsula area.
The new Evergreen program, which will probably be based at Peninsula Community College,
will offer both full and part-time study opportunities coordinated by Evergreen faculty
members Dr. Andrew Hanfman and Dr. William Winden, possibly • with assistance from additional
part-time professors.
Evans said the new fall program will be designed to accommodate "40 to 60 students"
and will be modeled after TESC's successful Outreach Program in Vancouver, Washington.
That effort, which opened in the fall of 1976, operates in
cooperation with Clark
Community College and has already graduated more than 70 students, Evans said.
Exact curriculum offerings for the Port Angeles Evergreen Program will be announced
following completion of a community survey which Evans said college staff is conducting in
the Peninsula area this quarter. The survey, coupled with suggestions from a soon-to-becreated Peninsula Advisory Committee, will offer Evans and Evergreen the additional information they need to complete curriculum plans for next fall.
The announcement by Evans follows recommendations by the Council for Postsecondary
Education (CPE) that TESC expand its educational resources to residents living outside the
campus home base in Olympia. As CPE noted, Evergreen's service area, Southwest Washington,
covers a larger geographical area than that designated for the other three regional universities, just as the service district for Peninsula Community College is the largest among the
state's two year colleges.
PETERSON ELECTED FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN
Olympian Dennis Peterson, Vice President of Foster and Marshall, Inc., has been
elected chairman of The Evergreen Foundation. Peterson, branch manager of Foster and
Marshall's Olympia office, has served on the Foundation board since its inception two years
ago end most recently completed a one-year term as vice-chairman.
Three other new officers were also recently chosen to head the 15-member Foundation
board which seeks to raise funds to support Evergreen activities, such as scholarship programs for which state monies cannot be spent. Serving as officers with Peterson are
Dr. Eugene Hall of Kirkland, vice chairman; Joan Thomas of Aberdeen as secretary and
John Murray of Seattle, treasurer. Their terms are effective through January, 1980.

up COP: ing events
SIBLINGS STAGE CONCERT TONIGHT
Two Olympia High School graduates who have recently studied at the Vienna Conservatory
of Music will combine talents to present a violin/vocal performance of classical works
spanning three centuries tonight, beginning at 8 o'clock in the Recital Hall of the Communi
cations Building. Stephen and Lynn Daniels, son and daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Henry Daniels
of Olympia, will be accompanied by Olympia pianist Jane Edge in the free Friday evening
program, the only public concert Stephen has scheduled during his brief visit home after
four years of study in Vienna.
A violinist and former student of Olympian Helen Pagels, Stephen will present the
(
premiere performance of a sonata for violin and piano by Brother Ronald Hurst, O.S.B.,
faculty member and trustee of Saint Martin's College. Stephen, who plans to return soon '
to Vienna where he plays with the Tonkiinstler Orchestra, also will present sonatas by

Handel and Schumann.
Lynn Daniels, mezzo soprano and current student of Evergreen Faculty Member
Joan Winden, will perform pieces by Schubert and Berlioz in her portion of the free
Friday evening concert.

WOMEN'S 10,000 METER RUN SET
Women runners in the Thurston County area will have a chance to test their endurance
Saturday, February 3, when the Evergreen Running Club sponsors its first 10,000-meter run
"for women only." The event, a 6.214-mile run around the college campus, begins with
registration at 10:30 Saturday morning followed by an 11 o'clock starting time. Women
runners are invited to compete in one of six age categories: runners up to 13 years old;
those 13 to 20, 21 to 30, 31 to 40, 41 to 50, and 50 or older.
Blue ribbons will be awarded to all those who average a time of at least five minutes
and 30 seconds per mile. An entry fee of $1.50 will be levied to help defray award and meet
costs.
MILNE SHARES HAWAIIAN UNDERWATER STUDY TUESDAY
Vegetarian and schooling fish, coral reefs, unusual crabs and other highlights of
the colorful underwater world of the tropical seas will come to Tuesdays at 8 audiences on
January 30 when Dr. David Milne, faculty biologist, describes "Studies of the Tropical
Pacific," at 8 p.m., in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building. Admission to the
slice lecture is $1.
Scientific exploration of the seas of Maui, one of the Hawaiian islands, was the focus
of an Evergreen academic program one year ago which took Dr. Milne, fellow Evergreen faculty
member Dr. Pete Taylor, and 31 students to that tropical laboratory. Conducting more than
half of their six-week study underwater, the team recorded creatures and vegetation on film
and in extensive written surveys of the area's life and geography.
Presenting slides and information from the field, Milne will illustrate how the tropical
region was originally formed, how it appeared to the first European explorers such as
Captain Cook in the eighteenth century, and, finally, how it exists to modern visitors such
as the Evergreen study team.
A central goal of the field work, Milne notes, was to record the creatures and vegetation who make their home near Maui and to contrast these with life in the Puget Sound. The
group discovered, for instance, that seaweed, which abounds in our local waters, is scarcely
to be found in the tropical Pacific — a phenomenon likely related to the prevalence of
vegetarian fish living in the tropical waters. Other contrasts between life in the two
aquatic worlds ranged from seabirds, abundant here but not there, to barnacles, which plague
the Puget Sound but are hardly evident in the warmer climes of the Evergreen effort.
Although most of the study was concerned with the Maui waters, the group also ventured
over land and into the volcanic highlands of Maui and Oahu, These landed highlights will
also be included in the Tuesdays at 8 presentation by Milne on January 30.
BROADWAY REVUE OPENS FRIDAY
A Broadway musical revue, featuring songs by three contemporary New York composers
performed by Evergreen student singers and musicians will be staged next weekend in the
Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
The three musical programs are the work of Evergreen sophomore Scott Stenshoel, a
seasoned singer and actor in on- and off-broadway productions who is currently studying
Alternative Theaters at Evergreen. Stenshoel and Evergreen senior Gwen Garfinkle will
present selections by composers Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz and Leonard Bernstein in
a 90-minute production they're calling, "Stephen, Stephen and A Little Bit of Leonard Here
and There."
Accompanied by an. instrumental ensemble of piano, cello and flute,Stenehoel and Garfinkle
will present pieces from "Godspell" by Schwartz; songs "Send in the Clowns" and "Anyone Can
Whistle" by Sondheim; and "Something's Coming" from the score of Westside Story, with music

-4-

by Bernstein and lyrics by Sondheim.
The productions, set for 8 p.m. February 2 and 3 and 3 p.m. February 4 carry an
admission fee of $1 for students and $2 for others.

ART AND SCIENCE EXHIBIT OPENS SUNDAY

Images and objects produced with scientific instruments will be featured in a new
showing at Evergreen's Second Floor Library Gallery, opening Sunday. The exhibit, which
will remain on display through February 16, will feature photographs taken with Evergreen's
scanning electron microscope, a hologram, a three-dimensional computer-generated wave study,
and other computer-generated graphic designs, as well as additional "art" works produced
with instruments normally used for scientific purposes.

who this year is serving as exhibits coordinator for the Second Floor Library Gallery.
POLITICS AND_RELIGION TO BE DISCUSSED
Evergreen Campus Ministry is cosponsoring a series of lecture/discussions on "Issues
in Politics and Religion" beginning February 1 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Michael's School (1206
East 10th, Olympia). Rev. Jim Symons, campus minister for Thurston County Ministries in
Higher Education, will launch the series Thursday by discussing "Politics and Religion in
Perspective" and offering suggestions for ways persons can relate their own religious and
ethical values to the political process.

yesterday. The board, created in 1975 to help plan Evergreen's academic programs in busine "
and public administration, is chaired by Lawrence Hall of the Bellevue Office of Puget

to the classroom, and design its program with an emphasis on practical application of theoretical studies to the business world.
Members of TESC's advisory board and their business affiliation include: Stanley Little;
The Boeing Company; Richard Siegal, The Weyerhaeuser Company; Chuck Scott, Pacific Northwest
Bell; James Senna, Olympia Brewing Company; Orville Melby, Rainier National Bank;

Robert Gerth, Touche Ross and Company; George Kinnear, self employed; John McClelland, Jr.,
Longview Daily News; Mark Hoehne, Longview Equipment Company; and Tom McMahon, Northwest
Drug Corporation.
Legislative Memo Volume V, Number 3
CPE REPORT, MASTERS BILL TO HEARINGS NEXT WEEK
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
This week and next are important ones for Evergreen in the legislature. The House
Appropriations Subcommittee on Education will hear Evergreen's capital and operating budget
this afternoon at 3:30 in House Office Building 431. Last Wednesday, the House Higher
Education Committee heard the bill, sponsored by Representative Dennis Heck, on tuition and
fees reciprocity between Oregon and Washington schools, including Evergreen which operates/
in the greater Vancouver-Portland area.
The Council for Postsecondary Education met Wednesday and yesterday to take final action
on the Evergreen study requested by the legislature. Legislative hearings on the study and
on a bill sponsored by Representative Scott Blair of Seattle to authorize Evergreen to
award masters level degrees will begin Tuesday in House Office Building 416 before the

House Higher Education Committee at 1:30 p.m. The following evening, January 31, a joint
Senate-House Higher Education Committee meeting will consider the study and the question
of master's degrees at Evergreen at 6:30 in Senate Hearing Room 2 on the fourth floor of
Public Lands Building. Next Friday, February 2, our operating budget will be presented to
the Senate Ways and Means Committee between 2 and 4 at Public Lands, Room 103.
Evergreen's masters degree bill will have its first reading in the House today and
will be assigned to House Higher Education Committee. Its 26 sponsors include 16 Democrats
and 10 Republicans. Among them are: Representative Blair's co-chairman on Appropriations,
Al Thompson of Kelso, and Higher Education Committee Executive Chairman Daniel Grimm of
Puyallup. Many sponsors represent districts in Evergreen's Southwest Washington service
area. They also include legislative friends of the college from across the state. As
this is Evergreen's first bill of its very own, a complete list of sponsors will be published in a later newsletter.
Other Higher Education action this week:a Senate hearing last W-ednesday on Senate bill
2194 which increases from $10,000 to $25,000 the dollar amount minimum necessary before
capital construction projects must be put out to bid. The Senate Higher Education Committee
also considered Senate bill 2187, which authorized exemption from tuition and fees for
non-faculty employees at institutions of higher education. Last Tuesday the House Higher
Education Committee heard a presentation on House Bill 102 by CPE recommending a
13% average tuition and fee increase for community colleges and four-year public institutions.
A public hearing on House Bill 102 will be held at 10 a.m. February 3 in House Office
Building 431. And, in action on the floor late last week, the appointment of TESC Trustee
Jane Sylvester was confirmed by the Senate.
KNAUSS HIRED FOR CAB II REDESIGN
The Services and Activities Fees Review Board on January 24 hired Max Knauss to work
with students to design the revised CABlI remodeling project. Knauss will choose a design
team from interested students and will begin design work next week. The first meeting for
interested students will be Monday, January 29 at 9 a.m. in Laboratory II 2223. Knauss
can also be contacted at 943-9143 or a message can be left in CAB 305.
The design work, with a construction budget of about $40,000, will be based on last
years' priorities established by the design team who worked with architect Jon Collier, and
will incorporate the work done in the CAB last month. Design work is set to progress at
a fairly rapid pace, with completion of working drawings expected by mid-April. Knauss
will be available as a subcontractor for academic credit for students who want to integrate
the design work into their academic activities.

EDITOR'S NOTE
As this newsletter went to press, the Council of Postsecondary Education was meeting in Olympia to discuss Evergreen's future as an undergraduate
institution and its potential as the sponsor of a master's degree program.
Following those discussions Wednesday and Thursday, the State Legislature
was slated today and Monday to conduct hearings on the college's budget
requests for the next biennium. Full reports on both CPE's deliberations
and the two legislative hearings will be featured in next week's Newsletter,
That newsletter will, of necessity, cover a two-week period — from
February 2 - February 15, because College Relations staff will attend a
training session in Eugene, Oregon the week of February 5. Readers who
have announcements or stories for February 2-15 are encouraged to deliver
them to Library 3114 — or call 866-6128 — before noon, January 31.

...OLYMPIA MUSICIANS SLATE FRIDAY CONCERT...Two Olympia High School graduates who have
recently studied at the Vienna Conservatory of Music will combine talents to present a
violin/vocal performance of classical works spanning three centuries January 26, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building. Stephen and
Lynn Daniels, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Daniels of Olympia, will be accompanied
by Jane Edge in the free Friday evening program, the only public concert Stephen has scheduled during his brief visit home after four years of study in Vienna.
A violinist and former student of Olympian Helen Pagels, Stephen will present the
premiere performance of a sonata for violin and piano by Brother Ronald Hurst, O.S.B.,
faculty member and trustee of Saint Martin's College. Stephen, who plans to return soon
to Vienna where he plays with the Tonkunstler Orchestra, also will present sonatas by
Handel and Schumann.
Lynn Daniels, mezzo soprano and current student of Evergreen Faculty Member Joan
Winden, will perform pieces by Schubert and Berlioz in her portion of the free Friday evening program.
..."STUDIES OF THE TROPICAL PACIFIC" SHARED JAN. 30...Vegetarian and schooling fish, coral
reefs, unusual crabs and other highlights of the colorful underwater world of the tropical
seas will come to Tuesdays at Eight audiences January 30 when Dr. David Milne, Evergreen
faculty biologist, describes "Studies of the Tropical Pacific," at 8 p.m. in the Recital
Hall of the Communications Building.
Admission is $1.
Scientific exploration of the seas of Maui, one of the Hawaiian Islands, was the focus
of an Evergreen academic program one year ago which took Dr. Milne, fellow TESC faculty
member Dr. Peter Taylor, and 31 students to that tropical laboratory. Conducting more
than half of their six-week study underwater, the team recorded creatures and vegetation
on film and in extensive written surveys of the area's life and geography.
Presenting slides and information from the field, Milne will illustrate how the
tropical region was originally formed, how it appeared to the first European explorers
and, finally, how it exists to modern visitors,
Although most of his talk will focus
on the Maui waters,he will also share highlights of the ventures on land and into the
volcanic highlands of Maui and Oahu which he and his group enjoyed.
...CHAMBERS SCHEDULE FEB. 1 SESSION ON CAMPUS...President Dan Evans will discuss recent
recommendations on Evergreen's future with members of the Olympia-Area and Lacey Chambers
of Commerce when they convene on campus Thursday, February 1. The session, a semi-annual
campus event, begins at 7:30 p.m. in CAB 108 and will also offer chamber members a chance
to gain more information on Evergreen's current programs and plans for the upcoming school
year.
...BROADWAY MUSIC REVUE PLANNED ..A Broadway musical revue, featuring songs by three contemporary New York composers performed by student singers and musicians at Evergreen will
be staged February 2,3 and 4 in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
The three musical programs are the work of Evergreen Sophomore Scott Stenshoel, a seasoned
singer and actor in on- and off-broadway productions who is currently studying Alternative
Theater at Evergreen. Stenshoel and Evergreen junior Gwen Garfinkle will present
selections by composers Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz and Leonard Bernstein in a
90-minute production they're calling, "Stephen, Stephen and A Little Bit of Leonard Here
and There."

The productions, set for 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday, carry an
admission fee of $1 for students and $2 for others.

key meeting Wednesday
GRADUATE PROPOSAL TO CPE BOARD JANUARY 24
If a "Proposal to Establish a Master of Arts in Public Affairs at TESC" moves
smoothly through a January 24-25 meeting of the State Council for Postsecondary Education, Evergreen would be closer than ever to its first graduate program, targeted to
start in September of 1980. The proposal, drafted last August following discussions
between faculty members and former Provost Ed Kormondy, would still need legislative
approval for authority to grant a master's degree.
The CPE has already stated its support for an Evergreen graduate program. Its
now well known study of the college called for graduate studies to meet the assessed
post baccalaureate needs of Southwest Washington citizens and to boost overall enrollment
However, CPE reactions to specifics in the proposal could affect the final plan that
seeks legislative action.
PUBLIC AFFAIRS EMPHASIS
Essentially, the TESC proposal calls for the establishment of several master's
degree programs to be offered under the title of "Masters of Arts in Public Affairs."
Specialties would include public administration and policy; environmental and energy
affairs; urban, rural and regional studies; and human services. The first of these
would begin 1980-81, with others to be added between 1981 and 1985.
Evergreen's graduate programs would also be interdisciplinary and would build on
the academic format in effect here for the past eight years. In its recent report, the
CPE saw such a graduate effort as a logical extension of Evergreen's present undergraduate program. The Evergreen proposal specifies graduate study which will include both
coordinated study and contracted study modes, and also stresses the role of internships
in degree work.
To demonstrate a need for a graduate program for public affairs study, the August
1978 proposal cites the number of written inquiries Evergreen has received, the rising
demand for professionals with masters degrees in private and public agencies, and the
stated interest in public affairs fields by TESC students and alums. Given Evergreen's
proximity to state government and the number of persons employed by public and private
service agencies in this area, there appears to be a large pool of prospective students
for a TESC graduate program.
BUILDS ON UNDERGRADUATE MODEL
The idea for graduate studies at Evergreen is as old as the legislation that created
the college in 1967. Delay of a formal proposal, say campus administrators, was essential
so that faculty could give undivided attention to developing a quality undergraduate program and to providing alternatives to the traditional educational methods. By 1975,
however, a group of faculty was ready to begin outlining a course of graduate study "that
would build from Evergreen's undergraduate strengths and experience."
A formal plan was completed a year later and became the basis for creating the
Public Administration Advisory Committee headed by George Kinnear. former state Director
of Revenue. That committee's efforts, together with subsequent input from faculty and
others, have led to the August 1978 proposal, now before the CPE.
Following CPE's session next week, Provost Byron Youtz expects to convene a faculty
planning committee to begin defining details of Evergreen's first program offering at

-2-

the graduate level.
WINTER ENROLLMENT REPORTED

Registrar Walker Allen reports a tentative Winter Quarter enrollment count of 2215
students.
Final Winter Quarter enrollment, says Allen, "is comparable to our traditional
fall-to-winter enrollment pattern." Except for last winter, Evergreen's Winter Quarter
count has averaged about 96-97 percent of the previous fall enrollment. This year's
slight drop is probably due to a decrease in part-time enrollment based on two factors,
says Allen. Last winter some 60 persons were enrolled in a data processing program
sponsored through the Interagency Training Division, but this year that program was not
repeated. A second factor, Allen feels, is the legislative session, which involves state
employees who may not feel this quarter they have the time to spare for academic work.
Last winter there was no legislature in session and they may have felt more free to assume
additional activities.
Allen says a final Winter Quarter tally wiTL be complete by Monday.
TRUSTEES ADOPT TEMPORARY STRIKE PLAN

Evergreen's trustees on January 11 adopted a revised strike policy described by its
author as one that "did not commit them to a lot of decisions ahead of time, but enables
the college to continue to operate." Assistant Attorney General Richard Montecucco,
asked to draft a contingency plan, said his version differed from the plan proposed
by a disappearing task force in that it "did not sanction a strike" and that it required
trustees to "make a lot of decisions if a strike occurs." His policy, he said, leaves
trustees more freedom to act than the DTF's would have.
Members of the Strike DTF urged trustees to consider combining Montecucco's draft
with their proposal which they felt made it very difficult to organize a strike. As
DTF chairwoman Irene Christy explained, "our proposal didn't address the legality of
strikes." Instead, she said, the DTF sought to insure a negotiations process that would
prevent a strike if possible. If a strike did occur, she added, the DTF policy would
ensure that there were no reprisals against the strikers.
Concerned that the legislature may this year adopt laws recognizing the right of
faculty in four-year colleges and universities to bargain collectively, trustees voted
to adopt the Montecucco plan until the legislature adjourns. Then they'll re-examine
the proposal in view of any new legislation that might clarify the positions of boards
and faculty unions.

EVERGREEN COUNCIL MEETS WEDNESDAY

Students are warmly invited to attend the first Winter Quarter meeting of the
Evergreen Council, set for January 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. in Room 108 of the College Activities Building. Temporary Council Chairman Mike Colyar says the Wednesday afternoon
session will be an organization meeting, featuring election of a new chairperson and a
recorder. He also hopes more students will attend who are willing to serve on the council
as regular members. "We've never yet had our full quota of 15 student members," he says.
"Maybe this quarter, we'll make it."
END IN SIGHT FOR ENROLLMENT, DEVELOPMENT DTFs
The finish line is coming into view for members of two disappearing task forces:
the Enrollment Design and Development Director Search groups. The Enrollment DTF, chaired
by Larry Stenberg, has been meeting weekly since October. Some 20 DTF members have di- i
vided into four subgroups to tackle the task of solving Evergreen's enrollment dilemmas.
Stenberg has asked all members to meet for two four-hour sessions January 24 and 31 to
finalize a draft for President Dan Evans to review before the February 13 meeting of the

-3Board of Trustees. The Enrollment group will meet at 8 a.m. both days in Library 2118.
Meanwhile members of a Development Search task force are hoping today to pare the
list of more than 70 applicants for the directorship down to a slate of five finalists.
DTF chairman Paul Roberts says his group will begin meeting at 3:30 p.m. today in
Library 3121 with each member bringing in point sheets on the 16 semifinalists. Total
points will be tallied and the top quintet will be forwarded to Presidential Assistant
Les Eldridge for review. He hopes to interview those finalists on campus within the next
two weeks. The Development directorship has been filled on an acting basis by Roberts
since Suzanne Feeney resigned last April.
ELBOW FEATURED IN MONITOR STORY

Evergreen Faculty Member Peter Elbow is the focus of a December article in the
Christian Science Monitor on "Write and write some more to learn how," by Gloria Campbell.
Elbow, whose book Writing Without Teachers is used in college classrooms throughout the
country, offers suggestions for ways to get words on paper — to break writer's block and
initiate a flow of ideas. The story shares the discoveries Elbow made as a teacher of
college English: that you don't have to be able to write to be allowed to teach writing
and that most students in his classes had the same problems with putting words on paper
that he had.
For Elbow, teaching writing has become an integral part of teaching everything else
that matters, the Monitor reports. He believes the ideal writing teacher cannot be
categorized, but stresses only those who write a great deal and who keep in touch with
literature can be successful writing teachers.
Elbow's recognition was applauded by former Evergreen Provost Dave Barry who last
week wrote to the Daily Olympian pointing out "what a nice Christmas present" it was for
Olympia to have the national leadership that Elbow has given to the field of writing
noted in the Monitor article. Barry, now provost at Antioch College in Ohio, adds that
"Olympia and Evergreen can, indeed be pleased to have received their share in the wellearned national recognition that Peter's work has brought home."
Elbow has also been selected recently to lead a seminar on the teaching of writing
at a two-week workshop this summer sponsored by the Lilly Foundation and scheduled in
Colorado Springs.

MUHLFELD TRIO OPENS CONCERT SERIES TUESDAY

Fresh from a fall musical tour of Europe, the Muhlfeld Trio opens the Winter
Quarter Tuesdays at Eight concert series January 23. The musical threesome, all faculty
members at Washington State University, will present an evening of classical music,
beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building. Admission to
their performance is $1.50 for students; $2.50 for others.
Named for the nineteenth century German clarinetist Richard Muhlfeld, the WSU trio
promises a program featuring the classic composers — Beethoven, Brahms, Bruch, Glinka,
Whear, Raphael and others — in their first concert in the Olympia area.
Founded five years ago, the Muhlfeld Trio has during the past few years played
throughout Washington, Idaho, Oregon and California. Last winter the group performed
throughout Texas and Mexico where their concert was hailed by the El-Paso Herald-Post
as "possessing a glowing quality rarely heard and not soon forgotten." This fall the
group made its European debut, performing in Ireland, Luxembourg, Austria and France,
and next summer, the trio has been invited to serve as guest artists at the International
Clarinet Congress/Clinic in Toronto, Canada.
Members of the trio include Clarinetist James Schoepflin, associate professor of
music and chairman of WSU's music department; Cellist Christopher von Baeyer, associate
professor of music and head of WSU's chamber music program and Pianist Judith Schoepflin,
who teaches piano at WSU where she serves as an assistant professor of music.

-4Reservations for the January 23 Muhlfeld Trio concert are available by calling the
Office of College Relations, 866-6128.

POET EXPLORES HERITAGE WEDNESDAY
Northwest poet William Stafford will reveal the origins of his own poetic voice in
a free public program titled "My Mother's Voice: Heritage of the Poet and Poetry,"
January 24, 7:30 p.m. at the Olympia Public Library. The English professor from Portland's
Lewis and Clark College is the first of seven scheduled speakers in the "Future of Our
Heritage Series," sponsored by the Senior Center of Thurston County, together with The
Evergreen State College, Washington State Capitol Museum, Timberland Regional Library,
Friends of the Library, and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).
Stafford i^ winner of the National Book Award and author of numerous volumes,
including Traveling Through the Dark, The Rescued Year, and West of Your City. His verse
spans more than four decades and has appeared in periodicals such as The Nation, Poetry,
Ladies' Home Journal, New Review, and Atlantic Monthly.
Stafford's appearance will be followed by Dr. Alice Kethley on February 7.
Dr. Kethley is the acting associate! director of the Institute on Aging and Research and
assistant professor of social work, University of Washington. She will examine the need
for older Americans to reform the very attitudes toward aging and productivity that they
collectively helped to establish years ago.
Legislative Memo, No. 5, Vol. 2
SESSION OFF TO INTENSIVE START
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
The opening

of the 46th Legislature January 8 was followed by legislative activity \f

in the House of Representatives within the first five days. Budget hearings for capital
and operating budgets, usually begun in mid-February, are scheduled for completion by the
first week in February. Although many persons are skeptical of the legislature's ability
to complete its work within the 60-day regular session, there is obvious determination on
the part of both Houses to move as quickly as possible and more quickly than usual in
order to have a good deal of the serious work done by the end of the regular session in
March.
Evergreen's first hearing was held January 12 before the Senate Ways and Means
Committee. President Dan Evans presented the Evergreen capital budget request, asking
for planning money for the gymnasium and field, despite the fact that the Governor's budget request had omitted both of the projects. President Evans cited the forthcoming
Council for Postsecondary Education study on Evergreen and its recommendations for improving the social climate on campus and the possibility of developing intercollegiate athletics
as strong reasons for the appropriation of planning funds.
TESC HEARINGS JAN. 26 & 29
The House Appropriations Committee has divided into four major subcommittees which
will hear agency testimony on both operating and capital budgets. Evergreen's presentation is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. January 26 in House Office Building 431. The Senate
Ways and Means Committee will hear our operating budget the following Monday, January 29,
from 2 to 4 p.m. in Public Lands 103.
The House Higher Education Committee has tentatively reserved one or two hearings
for Evergreen during the week following the CPE action on its Evergreen study. CPE
action is slated for January 24 and 25 in Olympia. The House Committee hopes to hear
CPE's report on the study the following Tuesday, January 30. Other bills pertaining to
(^
Evergreen, including a bill authorizing award of the Master's Degree (which has not at
this writing been filed) would be subject to House Higher Education Committee attention
that week. The committee is scheduled today to hear a bill which extends tuition waivers
to classified staff members at the regional universities and at Evergreen.

-5j
Tuesday, the House Higher Education Committee heard House Bill 194, which sets
guidelines for service and activity fee recommendations. The bill's provisions are very
similar to the S&A process followed at Evergreen. The committee took no action at the
hearing on Tuesday. Its January 17 agenda included another bill with possible impact on
TESC. Representative Mike Kreidler of the Twenty-Second District has introduced a bill
which would create a separate community college district for each of the two institutions
now in District 12, Olympia Technical Community College and Centralia College. Whichever
college would be responsible for academic programs in the area might temporarily seek
classroom space at Evergreen.
TUITION HIKE PROPOSED
Other recently filed bills include Senate Bill 2030, exempting Social Security
contributions from state employers for sick leave pay. This would result in a loss of
Social Security benefits for employees and a savings for the state. House Bill 102,
sponsored by Representative Phyllis Erickson of Pierce County, raises tuition and fees
for the forthcoming biennium. Senate Bill 2023 creates the Personnel Appeals Board, thus
removing the responsibility for hearing appeals on personnel questions from both the
Department of Personnel and the Higher Education Personnel Board.
EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
Faculty Member Willi Unsoeld filled the Recital Hall Tuesday evening in his first
public lecture on "Nepal: Scent of Jasmine and Urine." More than 70 persons had to be
turned away at the door after extra seating was arranged to accommodate more than 260
college and community folks. Unsoeld has agreed to repeat his talk as soon as his calendar can be checked. The slide/lecture, for those who missed it, offered an absorbing
view into the country where Unsoeld and his family spent five years while he was a Peace
Corps director and an employee of the Agency for International Development. Watch for
an announcement of his encore coming soon...
Faculty Musician Greg Steinke has just received word that his piece "A Flight of

...PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS INVITED TO MARCH IN-SERVICE PROGRAM...Southwest Washington high
school teachers from nine subject areas are being invited to Evergreen March 16 for a daylong in-service session coordinated by Faculty Members Dr. Bob Barnard and Dr. Josie Reed.
The sessions, scheduled between 9 and 11:30 a.m. and 2 and 3:30 p.m., are part of the statewide in-service day set aside to enable teachers to update their skills and discuss educational
methods and materials with their professional peers.
"We're hoping this first full-fledged program will become a model for Evergreen's participation in state-wide in-service sessions," says Barnard. "We're working with high school
teachers, their own organizations and the Washington State In-Service Education Fund and we
are planning on providing this type of program semi-annually." The state suggests two inservice days per year, but each local school district decides whether or not it wants to
take part in the sessions.
Last year TESC hosted a journalism workshop for high school teachers and students coordinated by Laura Gaspers of Timberline High School and Donnagene Ward, campus conference
coordinator. That session will be repeated during the March 16 activities, but workshops
and programs will also be offered in eight additional areas: English, "From Creativity to
Correctness," coordinated by Faculty Member Dr. Peter Elbow with the Council of Teachers of
English; social science, "Planning and Teaching in Interdisciplinary Programs," with Russ
Fox; mathematics, "Problem Domains," offered with the Washington State Mathematics Council,
Dr. Josie Reed; biology; "General Techniques in Microscopy and Photomiscrscopy" with Dr.
Don Humphrey; physics, "Projects with Energy Alternatives," Dr. Byron Youtz; chemistry,
"Innovations and New Instructional Resources for General Chemistry," with Dr. Michael Beug;
computers, "Introducing the Computer into High School Curriculum," Dr. John Aikin; and library,
"Library Resources " and "How To Do It" sessions, Dr. Jovana Brown.
...PROVOST SEARCH CONTINUES...The search for a new Evergreen provost continues January 19
when a 15-member search committee convenes to begin making a second cut through a total of
85 applications submitted for the post, held this year on an interim basis by Dr. Byron Youtz.
The committee, which hopes to complete its recommendations by the end of the month, will
this week attempt to make a "first cut" from 85 to a pool of 20 to 30 semifinalists. That
list will eventually be pared to five persons who may be brought to campus for in-person
interviews. Final selection will be made by President Dan Evans.
...FACILITIES DIRECTOR RESIGNS; WEST ASSUMES POST...Following nearly a decade of service
to Evergreen, Facilities Director Robert Strecker resigned January 5 to assume a new post
with the State Department of Transportation. Strecker, first hired in 1969 as a plant
engineer, was named director in July 1976. His position has been filled temporarily by
Acting Director David West, former Evergreen construction coordinator who most recently has
supervised grounds and building crews. Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh says the
college will soon begin "a wide open search" to recruit a permanent facilities head.

...FACULTY IN THE NEWS... A number of Evergreen faculty members have recently made the news
with a variety of activities outside the college. Mary Nelson was in California this weekend
to attend a policy making meeting of the Native American Historical Society. The organization's 700 members comprise the largest group of Native American scholars, professors,
doctors, lawyers and tribal leaders in the country. Nelson serves as a member of the board
of the Society...Faculty planner Carolyn Dobbs has been invited to serve on a four-person
panel to discuss proposals for conserving productive agricultural land, as part of a daylong seminar January 18 sponsored by the Lewis County Extension Service and the Agricultural Committee of the Chehalis Chamber of Commerce. Dobbs formerly chaired Thurston County's
Agricultural Committee. And, Faculty Member Alan Nasser will go to Hampshire College in
Amherst, Massachusetts next year on a faculty exchange program. In return, Hampshire biologist
Lynn Miller will join Evergreen's faculty.

CAB AND HOUSING TO UNDERGO FACE LIFTS
By Carolyn Byerly, College Relations Editor
Changes are afoot at Evergreen.
The College Activities Building (CAB) has a new look
and seems busier these days. Design planning is underway for campus housing. And, an added
surprise, foot travelers may soon be able to warm up at a bench perched outside the Seminar
Building. What's going on? Just a combination of student needs and some creativity on the
part of staff and student teams, says architect consultant Jon Collier, who has been working
on campus face lifting for over a year.
Evergreeners have begun to see some of the physical changes, as the ones at the
CAB, celebrated Fall Quarter during a "Community Design Festival" with music, open mike and
scheduled performances. The festival was in recognition of CAB remodeling that included a
"street cafe" in the main mall, moving ceiling banners to staircases, adding a mural to
the east mall, removing two kiosks, relocating post office and bulletin boards and establishing a "ride board" with transportation information on the first floor of the CAB. In addition, the Cooper Point Journal moved its news operation from the third floor to the first
Tloor, allowing the upstairs quarters to become a new quiet study area.
These early signs of change were, according to Collier, the work of about 90 persons
in four academic programs, who had the support of Facilities staff and funding from Services
and Activities Fees Review Board. Collier, an architect who came to TESC in 1977 to work
with the CAB Phase II design team, helped faculty and students of Environmental Design,
Alternative Energy Systems, Decentralization, and Housing Design Project to enact these
modifications to the CAB, which many have long decried for its underutilized yet cluttered
spaces.
FUNDS FOR MORE CHANGES SOUGHT
Other projects still underway, such as location of a "community child space" next
to the Bookstore, the addition of comfy, old reconditioned furniture, fireplaces in the
new CAB lounges, and an energy conservation study for CAB, may soon be moved forward by
faculty architect Rainer Hasenstab's 18 students in Environmental Design, if the S&A approves
a modest budget request submitted last week. A total of $11,000 is requested for the proposed changes.
Yet these minor face liftings to CAB represent only a scaled-down version of the
original Phase II design proposal, arrived at by eight full-time student interns and Collier
after a year's work in 1977-78 and deleted from the college's final budget request to the
Legislature. The original Phase II plan called for additional floor space and major revisions to eating facilities in the CAB, to mention a few specifics. Even with modifications,
the present goal remains the same, Collier notes when discussing plans to modify the areas
in and around the main campus: to create spaces that reflect human need. That means comfortable places to study and gather, space to hold social functions, quiet space and noisy
space. He feels that the combined student/faculty/staff efforts have been successful and
that it has been satisfying to complete recent work goals on schedule and to see the visible
•esult of teamwork.
HOUSING MODIFICATIONS UNDER STUDY
Collier, who holds degrees in architecture from Carnegie-Mellon and Princeton Universities, has a background in projects aimed at meeting user needs. His twenty years experience in planning and urban redevelopment in the city of Oakland, California, before taking
on the Phase II project here involved many of the user-oriented, team-produced aspects that

-2have also found application at Evergreen. For instance, he and eight students presently
involved in planning design modifications to housing units spent three days last quarter
living in the various campus residences, talking to residents, identifying pluses and minust^
of the college housing.
Working on this Housing Design Project are Catherine Brigden, Thomas Constantini,
James Jensen, Charles Linders, Julian Prosser, Jill Reynolds, Ralph Wallin, and Randy Zumwalt, with Collier as faculty sponsor.
Together, they've worked out an internship agreement outlining their academic tasks in Independent Learning Contracts.
Their assignment:
to spell out what may become a housing remodeling project to begin in one or two years.
As an early part of this planning, initiated by Housing Director Ken Jacob and approved by
the Board of Trustees, they will propose construction of a modest-sized facility located near
the Housing complex and designed especially for social functions.
"The Corner", now located in Residence Hall A and used for open mike, other presentations,
and a deli, is really inadequate, according to students, campus staff and the recent CPE
report. All signs point to the need for a social facility for students to gather in their
non-academic time.
Other changes to housing units could include remodeling the two-person studios and
the community kitchens. Spring Quarter is the target date for final specifications by the
design team
specifications that will form a proposal for college officials to consider
in setting future expenditures.
In the meantime, the Housing Design Project, like last year's Phase II effort, represents Evergreen academics at work
in theory and in practice.
PROVOST SEARCH COMMITTEE MEETS JAN. 19
The Provost Search Committee meets again January 19 from 3 to 5 p.m. in Library 3112 to
continue efforts at sifting through some 85 applications received for the job currently heW
by Byron Youtz. Between today and January 17, committee members will each review and score \d
Jacob before the January 19 session, when the committee will then tackle the task of whittling
an estimated 20 to 30 surviving applicants down to an even smaller pool. On that second cut,
every member of the committee will review every file, Jacob reports.
Jacob, who has already begun a new full-time job as the personal secretary to State
Representative Scott Blair, will continue coordinating the provost search effort until
the finalist is selected, which some hope will be by the end of January.
WEST DIRECTS FACILITIES
Former Facilities Construction Coordinator David West, who has most recently supervised
building and grounds crews, has been named acting director of facilities by Administrative
Vice President Dean Clabaugh, following the resignation last week of Bob Strecker. West will
serve in the post "about three months", predicts Clabaugh, while the college undertakes what
he calls "a wide open search for a new, permanent director."
Bill Lloyd, lead maintenance mechanic, has moved into West's former post and the Security
Office staff has been reassigned to the supervision of Business Manager Ken Winkley until the
new facilities director is named.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS CONVENE HERE IN MARCH
Southwest Washington high school teachers from nine subject areas are being invited
to Evergreen March 16 for a day-long in-service session coordinated by Faculty Members Bob
Barnard and Josie Reed. The sessions, scheduled between 9 and 11:30 a.m. and 2 and 3:30 p.m(
are part of the state-wide in-service day set aside to enable teachers to update their
skills and discuss educational methods and materials with their professional peers.
"We're hoping this first full-fledged program will become a model for Evergreen's participation in state-wide in-service sessions," says Barnard. "We're working closely with high

-3school teachers, their own organizations and the Washington State In-Service Education Fund
: md we're planning on providing this type of program semi-annually." The state suggests two
"in-service days per year, but each school district decides whether or not it wants to participate in the sessions, based on local school board approval, administrative recommendations
union negotiations and teacher interest.
Last year Evergreen hosted a journalism workshop for high school teachers and students
coordinated by Laura Gaspers of Timberline High School and Donnagene Ward, campus conference
coordinator. That session will be repeated during the March 16 activities, but workshops
and programs will also be offered in eight additional areas: English, "From Creativity to
Correctness," coordinated by Faculty Member Peter Elbow with the Council of Teachers of
English; social science, "Planning and Teaching in Interdisciplinary Programs," with Russ
Fox; mathematics, "Problem Domains," offered with the Washington State Mathematics Council,
Josie Reed; biology, "General Techniques in Microscopy and Photomicroscopy" with Don Humphrey;
physics, "Projects with Energy Alternatives," Byron Youtz; chemistry, "Innovations and New
Instructional Resources for General Chemistry," with Michael Beug; computers, "Introducing
the Computer into High School Curriculum," John Aikin; and library, "Library Resources" and
"How To Do It" sessions, Jovana Brown.
Also planned for the event, which is the last day of Winter Quarter, are a no host
luncheon, possibly with a guest speaker, and a late afternoon pizza feast. Persons interested
in finding out more details on plans for March 16
or in helping with any of the programs
mav contact Banrard or Reed.

UNSOELD SHARES NEPAL SLIDES/VIEWS TUESDAY
Dr. Will! Unsoeld will take Tuesdays at Eight audiences to the Himalayan kingdom
if Nepal January 16 in a public slide/talk designed to share the experiences he and his
family enjoyed during five years in the small nation he calls "the land of enchantment."
"The phrase," the Evergreen professor declares, "is not trite when applied to Nepal.
It's a country to which every American who has ever been wants to return." He'll discuss
some of the many fascinations Americans find in Nepal Tuesday, January 16, beginning at
8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building. Admission is $1.
Unsoeld, who rose to national fame in 1963 as one of the five Americans to successfully scale Mount Everest, lived with his wife and four children in Nepal from 1962 to
1967, working for the Peace Corps and later for the United States Agency for International
Development. Since his departure, he has twice returned to Nepal, including a 1974 trip
to set up a year-long Evergreen study program there.
Dr. Unsoeldfs talk, called "Nepal: Scent of Jasmine and Urine," reflects part of
the conflicting realities of the country, located between India and Tibet. "When you .
first arrive, the harsh smell of urine and other waste is shocking," Unsoeld says.
"Before long, the scent of jasmine begins to take effect and you're a captive of this
country." Unsoeld says the climate — ranging from hot, tropical lowlands to the cold
arctic blasts atop Mt. Everest, also fascinates those who visit Nepal.
"But it's the people who claim your affection," he says. "Despite the fact that
Nepal is among the five poorest nations in the world, its people are remarkable happy
and well adjusted. They have nearly a zero crime rate and they're exceptionally hospitable.
Those same people suffer an unusually high child mortality rate and diseases "run
rampant" with worm infestations dominating medical reports, Unsoeld says.
CHILD REARING TOPIC OF SUNDAY FORUM
"Child Rearing Practices: Violence in the Home" will be discussed at a public
forum Sunday, January 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the main lobby of the Evergreen Library.
The forum is the second in a series of four being presented by The Child and Family
Center, and will feature presentations by four panelists: Faculty Member Stephanie
Coontz; Pacific Lutheran University professor Robert Stivers; Thurston County Court
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney James Buckley and Thurston Youth Services staffer Roger
Khurt.

GRADUATION COMMITTEE FORMING

(

c Evergreeners who are eligible to graduate during this academic year (Fall Quarter,
1978 through Summer Quarter, 1979) are invited to serve on the Graduation Committee,
according to Registrar Walker Allen. The cpmmittee which will plan activities for
June 3 commencement exercises, will meet initially Wednesday, January 24 at 7:30 p.m.
in Library 3112.
Allen says all potential graduates need to complete an application for graduation
as soon as possible, but no later than April 7. If you plan to graduate and haven't
received your questionaire, contact his office. If you'd like to help plan your
graduation, attend the January 24 session.

VOLUNTEER NEEDS OF OFFICES POLLED

Evergreen student David Slagle this week delivered a questionnaire to campus deans
and directors as a first step toward re-establishing a Community Volunteer Service within
the Office of Cooperative, Education. A work-study student, Slagle said he asked directors
to complete one form per type of volunteer placement their offices could best employ. Those
forms, due in Co-op Ed by the end of the day, will then be compiled and Slagle will begin
recruiting on-campus volunteers to serve in the identified slots.
The Community Volunteer Service function, originally a part of Co-Op Ed, was phased
out when former Evergreener Jim Long left in 1973. Slagle says he and Co-op director
Barbara Cooley hope the questionnaire will signal the resurrection of what once was viewed
as a valuble service to campus offices.
EXPANDED USE OF LIBRARY AUDIO FACILITIES AVAILABLE

Library audio facilities, previously limited to those in academic programs, will
now be available to other users as well, according to Pat Matheny-White, coordinator of
Library user services. The new policy, effective Winter Quarter, amends the interim
audio policy adopted last summer after federal copyright laws deemed it illegal to duplicate
audio material without publisher permission. Where classrooms might once have duplicated
a record or tape for the whole class to hear, individual students were henceforth required
to gain access to Original tapes. This threatened a run on library listener services
and brought about the interim policy. "The run we anticipated never happened, however, "
notes Matheny-White. Therefore the new procedure simply asks those who want audio facilities
to sign up in advance at the main Library desk. Phone reservations will be accepted.
Academic ,,program users will still be given first priority, in times of heavy use.
HEALTH CAREER SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE

The Auxiliary of Group Health Cooperative will award a total of $4,000 in health career
scholarships this year. Applications for ten scholarships of $400 each are being accepted
through February 14 from residents of the state of Washington who have "satisfactory scholastic standing'," need financial assistance and agree to enroll in an accredited state school.
Those applying for the awards, available for the 1979-80 academic year, should contact
Mrs. Lloyd Winther, Group Health Auxiliary Scholarship Chairman, 2105 96th Place SE,
Everett, 98204, or see Georgette Chun in Evergreen's Financial Aid Office.
EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS

Monday to act as interim chancellor of Community College District Five, following the
resignation of both former Chancellor Paul McCurley and of Edmonds Community College
President James Warren...
...Evergreen Faculty Member Mary Nelson will be in San Francisco tomorrow

f

-5to attend a policy making meeting of the Native American Historical Society. Nelson says
the society's 700 members comprise the largest group of scholars, professors, doctors,
lawyers and tribal leaders in the nation and she views the organization as "a leader in
policy making." She adds she's "proud and honored" to be invited to serve as a board
member and participate in the day-long session.
...Evergreen President Dan Evans made news in New York last week when his name was
mentioned as one of the top contenders for the presidency of the Ford Foundation. Evans
says he didn't seek the post and has decided "now is just not the time to consider such
a position".
...Faculty planner Carolyn Dobbs has been invited to serve on a four-person panel to
discuss proposals for conserving productive agricultural land, as part of a day-long seminar
sponsored by the Lewis County Extension Service and the agricultural committee of the
Chehalis Chamber of Commerce. Earlier this year, Dobbs spoke to the Lewis County Resource
Council on ways planning can (or cannot) impact preservation of agricultural land. She
formerly chaired Thurston County's Agriculture Committee, appointed by the county commissioners to serve between June 1977 and June 1978.
...Evergreen Faculty Member Alan Nasser will go to Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts next year on a faculty exchange program. In return, Hampshire biologist Lynn Miller,
a natural scientist, will join Evergreen's faculty for the one-year exchange.
...Faculty Member Al Wiedemann reports that the film "The Popovich Brothers of South
Chicago" has become a part of Evergreen's film collection, thanks to a successful fund raising
event held this fall. He says the "support by Evergreen folks (of the film benefit) was
particularly gratifying,"
...Faculty Member Sid White has been invited to serve as a member of a three-person art
jury for the Governor's Invitational Exhibit which will go on display in March at the State
Capitol Museum, featuring work by Washington artists. And, Evergreen graduate John Sherar
has recently been named director of the Foster-White Art Gallery in Seattle.
...Faculty Member Leo Daugherty reports he delivered a paper last month "On the Commitment
to Unity" at the annual meeting of the Modern Language Association in New York City. His
paper was one of four presented by invitation at a section meeting called New Directions
in Literary Studies before 250 persons. The paper was co-authored by Evergreen graduate
Tom Maddox, our first alum to earn a doctorate when he completed his studies in humanities.
Newly hired at Evergreen are Jean Elliott, costumer in the Communications Building,
and Richard Reddington, custodian. Molly Phillips, who last year directed the Office of
Career Planning and Placement in Gail Martin's absence, has also been recently hired as
a legislative analyst by the Council of State College and University Presidents which is
based at Evergreen and funded by the state four-year higher education institutions.
...Some familiar faces have departed: custodians Michael Petty and Shelby Carbaugh;
Lloyde Newman, office assistant in facilities; and Myrna Howard, program assistant in
College Relations. Howard's job has been temporarily filled by recent graduate Nikki Longan.
DELI EXPANDS OFFERINGS

The Deli, which heretofore offered fresh produce and other grocery items to customers
on the second floor mall of the College Activities Building, began this week serving sandwiches and coffee between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and between 5 and 9 p.m. Vonda Drogmund,
head of Saga Food Services on campus, says the Deli will be adding new equipment and expanding its food line to include hot sandwiches, tea and hot chocolate in the near future.
The new service resulted in changed hours for grill service available in the cafeteria
on the first floor of the CAB, Drogmund adds. While the cafeteria remains open until 6 p.m.
for dinner customers, the grill now closes at 4:30 p.m. Persons seeking refreshments after
6 p.m. should now head for the new Deli on the main (second floor) CAB mall.

at Group Health. Kerlin completed her masters in education degree from Western Washington
University this June. She previously worked as a case worker for the Department of Social
and Health Services.

CPJ will print again
COLLECTIVE EDITORSHIP RESURRECTS CAMPUS NEWSPAPER
By: Carolyn Byerly, College Relations Editor
Another first comes to Evergreen onJanuary 18 when the Cooper Point Journal publishes
its first issue under collective editorship. The team of four women and three men will
assume full and equally shared editorial responsibilities during Winter and Spring
Quarters for the student periodical, previously managed by traditional (editor and staff)
personnel. Salaries for the former posts of editor and two assistants will be shared
equally by the seven. In ..addition, the new arrangement calls for decisions about
articles, format and production schedules to be made by group process, and responsibilities
to be rotated each issue. The advantages, according to one member, Pam Dusenberry,
a sixth-quarter Evergreener, lie in worker satisfaction and the potential for more
campus and community involvement.
However, a statement published last month by the seven as part of their application
for editor, expands their reasoning for collective enterprise. First, says the document,
the concept is in keeping with the Evergreen philosophy of holistic and collective work,
and a logical outgrowth of most Evergreen academic programs (including the group contract
"Decentralisation'," in which six of the seven collective members are enrolled). Moreover,
rotation of tasks gives each
an opportunity to learn the various facets of publishing
a newspaper and better assures no one person will be "overloaded" — a major problem
Fall Quarter when CPJ Editor Brian Cantwell and a miniscule staff shouldered the whole
editorial and production load.
COMMITTED THROUGH SPRING

Working with Dusenberry are Paul Fink, Rob Fromm, Alexis Jetter, Pearl (Laurie)
Knight, Doug Riddels, and Robin Willett. All have had experience in print or broadcast
journalism, either in the Evergreen/Olympia area or at campuses previously attended, and
all have given firm commitment to the collective enterprise at least through Spring Quarter,
when the paper's future will be determined. Alexis Jetter will serve as the group
spokesperson and as liaison with the College Publications Board and other administrative
bodies.
A major feature of the new operation will be regular open meetings in which collective
members will receive suggestions about "themes" for future editions. These meetings will
be announced in advance according to Laurie Knight, who emphasizes the significance of
this and other outreach efforts the collective will make to gain ideas and written
pieces from anyone on campus or in the local community who wish to offer them. The
first open meeting will occur Monday, January 8 at noon in the CPJ office (first floor
of the College Activities Building). Other outreach efforts will include solicitation
of news and feature material from academic programs, local and campus organizations, and
individuals. "."You don't have to be a writer to get your ideas into print," stresses Knight,
"just willing to share them with us."
Under the collective, the CPJ will continue the concept of devoting one-third of each
issue to a current subject or "theme", one-third to news, and one-third to regular features
(letters, arts and events, etc.). The January 18 edition will address Evergreen's public
image, a follow-up report on the recent CPE study. Other qualities to watch for are
an analytical focus on news and more investigative writing. The key to breadth in
material, insists the collective, is closer ties with academic programs, often an ignored
aspect of Evergreen life in former CPJ days. Program activities, new theories, revolutionary
discoveries — will all be sought out and published.

-2MOST FROM "DECENTRALIZATION"

The idea of forming a collective to edit the campus biweekly arose last quarter when
Editor Cantwell resigned after struggles with insufficient staff and operating funds.
Para Dusenberry observes that it was partly coincidence that six of the seven now collective^
members(Rob Fromm being the exception) were members of Evergreen professor Russ Fox's
"Decentralization" prpgram. "We had spent a quarter applying consensus decision making
and other group process principles. We have many of the skills necessary to produce a paper
— and we think it will work," she adds. She and fellow program members will each receive
one of their four units of academic credit this quarter for work on the CPJ.
Knight and Dusenberry add an urgent footnote to their otherwise enthusiastic beginnings
with the venture. "We are still in need of a photography editor and business manager,"
she says, adding that both positions will remain separately paid and individually held
posts. In addition, the team needs production workers, to serve on a volunteer basis,
and the contribution of written articles, letters, and other information to make a
newspaper. These and other aspects of the new operation may be followed up by calling the
Cooper Point Journal, 866-6312.
TRUSTEES ADOPT NEW SUMMER TUITION SCHEDULE, MEET THURSDAY TO REVIEW STRIKE POLICY

Evergreen's five-member Board of Trustees will meet Thursday, January 11 to consider
the college's proposed strike policy, postponed from the December meeting when many of
the persons most concerned with the new draft were unavailable. The strike policy, first
adopted in June of 1977, was reviewed by a disappearing task force which offered recommendations to the trustees in November. Trustees then asked Assistant Attorney General
Richard Montecucco to review the DTF' s recommendations and bring a draft back for their
review. Discussion on this draft, ready at the December 14 session, was postponed until
Thursday, when more faculty, staff and students will be able to attend the meeting.
At the December session, trustees did adopt two changes to the college's tuition and
fee schedule, but rejected a third proposal that would have permitted students over the ag(
of sixty to enroll for college study without charge. The new tuition and fee changes
reduce fees -charged to out-of-state students during Summer Quarter, bringing Evergreen's
summer tuition schedule into line with the other state instituions. The move saves fulltime out-of-state Summer Quarter students $455 per quarter, reducing their fee from $661
to $206. Trustees also adopted a special tuition and fee rate for Winter and Spring
Quarters for those students earning credit through courses sponsored by the state division
of Human Resource Development. Since the state agency has contracted with Evergreen to
provide training for state employees, their students will be charged only a $5 fee by
TESC if they seek academic credit for their work.
When trustees convene next week, they'll also consider a recommendation by the
Services and Activities Fees Review Board on final decision regarding plans for Phase II
of the College Activities Building, and they'll hear an update from Faculty Member
Lowell Kuehn on activities he has undertaken as director of institutional research.
The meeting begins at 10:30 Thursday morning in Room 3112 of the Evans Library and is
open £o the public.
STILL TIME TO REGISTER FOR LEISURE ED SESSIONS

Registration for 47 Leisure Education programs continues through January 12 at
Evergreen. The workshops, which this Winter Quarter include such seasonal offerings as
Beginning and Intermediate Cross Country Skiing and Winter Touring, are offerd to both the
public and Evergreen students for nominal fees. The sessions don't generate academic
credit, they're just for the personal enjoyment of participants.
Registration for the workshops began December 20 and continues through 5 p.m. each
weekday through January 12, final deadline for fee payment.
(
Among new courses offered this winter are: "Disco and All That Jazz" for youngsters
between grades four and twelve; Shao-Lin-Ch'uan, a fundamental form of Chinese athletics;
Introduction to Calligraphy; Quilt Making; Primitive Pottery, and Tapestry Weaving.
Complete information on all 47 Leisure Education workshops, most of which begin next week,
is available through Evergreen's Recreation Center, 866-6530.

-3Legislative Memo Volume Vt| Number 1
LEGISLATIVE SESSION BEGINS MONDAY
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President

The forty-sixth legislative session, which begins January 8, will be a particularly
important one for Evergreen, in which attention is focused on us because of our drop in
enrollment and because of the recently-completed 230-page TESC study by the Council for
Postsecondary Education. The staff report will be acted on by the Council January 25 and
sent to the legislature for its review. The report endorses most aspects of Evergreen's
performance thus far with the qualification that enrollment must increase steadily if the
college's record is to be viewed as successful.
This outlook has been mirrored in many ways by the reaction of the legislature to Evergreen over the past seven years. The majority of the legislators have been open minded
about TESC, Many have been firmly supportive, a few have been extremely critical, but
all have reserved judgment until enrollment successes are clear. Our support from legislators will be tempered with their concerns over enrollment. I'm confident that the
legislature will accept CPE's report, but this is not to say there won't be serious calls
for closure from some segments of the legislature. Nor, does it mean anything but a period
of austerity in a session'which seems committed to no new taxes and which faces increasing
demands on state revenues. The even division of the House of Representatives between Democrats and Republicans adds a considerable amount of uncertainty to the outcome of any legislation this session.
CPE'S FISCAL IMPACTS "CONSIDERABLE"
The CPE report (see December Newsletter) will surely have a considerable impact on
Evergreen's budget. It remains to be seen whether the legislature will provide any assistance
in implementing the number of recommendations which carry fiscal impacts, such as new emphasis
on academic advising, admissions recruiting, college athletics, improvement of the social
climate, and off-campus outreach. The recommendation calling for master's level programs
at Evergreen will necessitate both an additional appropriation and statutory authorisation
for the award of the Master's Degree. The Governor's budget omitted, for the first time in
three biennia, a recommendation for a gymnasium at Evergreen. The college must make an
effort to restore this item to the capital budget if it expects to effectively implement
several of the CPE recommendations. It may also be necessary to ask for appropriations
legislation relaxing the restrictions on moving money between programs in order to fully
implement the CPE report.
Each house of the legislature this year has an unfamiliar look. The Senate Democratic
majority is nearly the same, an increase of one seat, 30 to 19. A number of new faces have
appeared in each caucus. Observers see the general result as a more progressive Senate. Of
special interest to Higher Education is the compositions of the Ways and Means and Higher
Education Committees. Senator Hubert Donohue still chairs the Ways and Means Committee.
His vice chairman is Senator Jim McDermott from Seattle. The membership includes many
faces new to the committee, including Senators Del Bausch, Marc Gaspard, H.A. "Barney"
Goltz, Ruthe Ridder, and Bud Shinpoch. Missing from the committee is August Mardesich, who
was defeated in the primary election in September. Senator Donohue has been replaced on
the Senate Higher Education Committee by Senator Peter von Relchbauer from Vashon Island, who
joins Senators Goltz, Shinpoch, Gary Odegaard, Sam Guess, Max Benitz, and George Scott.
REPUBLICAN CHAIRS LABOR
The House leadership will be headed by co-speakers John Bagnariol and Duane Berentson.
The staff will also include co-chief clerks, co-sergeants at arms, and co-staff directors.
.Seven of the 21 committees will be co-chaired: Rules, Appropriations, Revenue, Transportation, Energy and Utilities, Education, and Social and Health Services. The other 14 will
have an executive chairman from one party and a co-chairman from the other. Democratic
Executive chairmen will preside over Agriculture, Commerce, Ecology, Higher Education, Local
Government, Parks and Recreation and State Government. The remaining seven committees,
including Labor, will have a Republican executive chairman. The House Higher Education
Committee is headed by Executive Chairman Representative Dan Grimm of Puyallup, with Representative Dick Barnes of Seattle as co-chairman. It includes Representatives Erickson,

Gruger, Salantino, Burns, Oliver, McGinnis, Patterson, and Teutsch. Democrat Alan Thompson
of Kelso and Republican Scott Blair of Seattle co-chair the House Appropriations Committee.
VARIETY OF BILLS PROPOSED
/
The Governor's Budget is characterized by minimal increases in Higher Education operating budgets and significant cuts in most capital requests. While the Senate Labor Committee appears to be slightly more labor oriented than in the past, the House committee,
because of the even split, becomes a question mark as to its action on a possible reintroduction of the faculty collective bargaining bill. It may also consider a bill on "contracting out" for maintenance and food services. This bill is necessitated by a Washington
Supreme Court decision which ruled that contracts to outside organizations, such as Saga
Food Service, were illegal under existing personnel laws. Another labor-related bill
will attempt to increase the dollar limit below which bids for minor construction projects
need not be called for. The 46th session will also see several bills relating to Higher
Education personnel, including one to merge the system with the State Personnel Board, and
another to alter the system to include compensation for merit. Retirement bills will include one to provide cost of living increases for faculty members retired after 1972.
Another may eliminate TIAA-CREF as an option for newly hired faculty members.
The Council for Postsecondary Education has presented its recommendations for
tuition increases as required by legislation passed in 1977. Tuition reciprocity between
Oregon and Washington will also be considered. The Appropriations Act will probably address
the problem of funding sources for off-campus programs and the move afoot to place the
tuition portion of tuition and fees (heretofore earmarked for capital projects) directly
in the general fund.
All these factors, plus uncertainty about the Governor's intention to call a special
session after the 60-day regular session ends, will make this a highly strenuous session,
but not a dull one.
HERITAGE SERIES FUNDED FOR SEVEN-PART FORUM

The Future of Our Heritage Series, begun last fall in Olympia has received a $10,271
grant from the Washington State Commission for the Humanities to present a seven-part
public forum and a series of workshops and seminars, focusing on various aspects of Pacific
Northwest and personal history. The program, which begins January 24 with a talk by
Northwest poet William Stafford, is coordinated by Dr. Ronald Manheimer, Heritage project
director and adjunct faculty member in philosophy at Evergreen.
All events to be offered by the series are free and open to the public and all
are cosponsored by Evergreen, the Senior Center of Thurston County, Timberland Regional
Library, Friends of the Library, and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).
POET SPEAKS JANUARY 24
Stafford leads the list of scheduled forum speakers with his January 24 discussion
on "My Mother's Voice: Heritage of the Poet and Poetry." The English professor from
Lewis and Clark College will reveal the origins of his own poetic voice in his evening
program, set to begin at 7:30 o'clock in the Olympia Public Library. Also scheduled
to speak during the Heritage Series are Dr. Alice Kethley, acting associate director of
the Institute on Aging and Research and assistant professor of social work at the University
of Washington. She'll talk February 7 on the need for older Americans to reform the very
attitudes toward aging and productivity that they collectively helped to establish years ago.
On February 28, a tribal leader will explore ways that Native Americans recover their
own heritages while making their lives in a contemporary world. And, on March 28, Dr.
Harry Moody, executive secretary of Brookdale Center on Aging, Hunter College, City
University of New York, will examine contrasting East-West attitudes on aging. Using
a slide-tape show, Moody will also illustrate ways that many western artists actually transcended their own history in their works during their later years.
On April 18, bicentennial historian Page Smith will lecture on heroes and heroines (
in American history. Smith, emeritus professor of history at University of California,
Santa Cruz, has won numerous awards for his books and is particularly celebrated for his
knowledge of revolutionary war writers. On May 9, Ronald Clarke will identify more modern
aspects of heritage, namely the factor of heritage in community planning. Clarke, himself a planner with the Washington State Planning and Community Affairs Agency, assists
communities in considering their local and created heritages when planning for their
futures.

EVERGREENERS PRESENT PUGET POLLUTION STUDIES TUESDAY

"Pollution on Puget Sound" and its effects on seals, fish and shellfish will be
examined in two slide/talks heading a January 9 presentation at Evergreen. The talks
begin at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building and focus on scientific
studies conducted by Evergreen student researchers through funding from the National
Science Foundation.
Recent Evergreen graduates John Calambokidis and Sue Carter will offer a slide/talk
on the impact of pollution on harbor seals throughout the Puget Sound area, while Evergreen
senior Michael Price will...share his team's research on pollution's effects on fish and
shellfish found within a 30-mile stretch of shoreline near Tacoma. Formally launching
the Winter Quarter Tuesdays at Eight series, the talks carry a one dollar admission charge.
HARBOR SEALS EXAMINED
Led by Calambokidis, Carter and seven other Evergreen students applied for and received a $15,150 grant from NSF to examine the behavior and ecology of harbor seals in
Washington state waters. Their study, completed last spring, determined the habitats,
distribution, population, reproduction and mortality of harbor seals, in addition to
studying the "dynamics of a number of chemical pollutants on those mammals," says
Calambokidis.
The year-long research effort, advised by faculty biologist, Dr. Steve Herman, led
to what Calambokidis labeled a number of "pleasant surprises." For example, the student
team estimates 6,200 seals live in Washington waters — a larger population than had previously been estimated. They discovered that seals' food habits vary regionally from
the San Juan Islands to Hood Canal, and that in no areas do the seals consume significant
numbers of salmon, highly valued for commercial harvest.
SHELLFISH CONSUMPTION EYED
Price and his seven-member student team took a different tack with their $lA,800-grant
from the NSF. Guided by faculty chemist Dr. Kaye V. Ladd, students researched the role
of south-central Puget Sound as a public food source and sought to estimate the amount
of heavy metals humans consume by eating locally harvested seafood. Concentrating their
efforts along the shoreline running 15 miles north and south of Tacoma, Price's team sought
first to determine levels of heavy metal contaminants in fish and shellfish that were
being consumed by humans. To determine the amount of those foods consumed, the NSF
student team interviewed and polled persons using a variety of public fishing spots along
the shoreline.
Their findings, reports Price, represented "good news" to the consumers: "at this
time people are not exposed to hazardous concentrations of metal pollutions by eating
fish and shellfish taken from areas ranging from the northern end of Vashon Island to
the southern end of McNeil."
Both talks will also offer other fascinating facts students unearthed in addition
to their scientific study. Calambokidis promises a look at the natural history of the
seals, complete with winsome photos of the engaging sea mammals while Price has gathered
statistics about the recreational importance of fishing and collecting shellfish in his
study area.
Calambokidis and Carter both completed their bachelor's degrees from Evergreen in
June and were immediately hired by the National Marine Fisheries Service to work on a
project studying Northern Fur Seal behavior in the Priviloff Islands of the Bering Sea.
Price, a senior at Evergreen, delivered several papers on his studies to the Pacific
Division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science last spring. One
was cited as "the best paper presented by a graduate or doctoral student" while Price was
was a junior.

-6MARGARET MEAD FILM FEATURED
A special film showing of "Margaret Mead's New Guinea Journal," will be presented
Tuesday, January 9, beginning at 7 p.m. in Lecture Hall One. The 90-minute color documentary which examines the transition of New Guinea Islanders from the Stone Age to the
Twentieth Century, will be followed with a discussion by Evergreen Faculty Members
Lynn Patterson and Sally Cloninger.
Produced by National Education Television, the film examines cultural change in the
village of Peri on Manus, one of the Admiralty Islands in Australia's trust territory
of New Guinea. It traces the evolution of Peri's population between 1928 and 1953, the
years during which famed anthropologist Margaret Mead visited the islands. The film
also documents Mead's observations on personal and historical factors that appear to have
affected that change, gathered during her last visit to the Islands in 1967.
The Evergreen faculty team sponsoring the program will share the joint responsibility
for a Spring Quarter academic program on "Visual Anthropology," combining the academic
interest of Patterson, an anthropologist and Cloninger,
whose fields are television
and film.
STUDENT ART EXHIBIT OPENS SUNDAY

Evergreen student artists will display their talents in a three-week show opening
Sunday, January 7 in the Library Art Gallery. The free exhibit, which remains on display
through January 28, features work by students studying independently with a number of
Evergreen faculty members.
Displayed in the show will be works done in a variety of media, including photography, water colors, painting, ceramics, drawings and printmaking. Exhibit 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.

MIDDLE INCOME STUDENTS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR AID
A greater number of Evergreen students may now be eligible to receive financial aid,
thanks to the recently passed Middle Income Student Assistance Act adopted by Congress.
Laura Thomas, TESC Financial Aid director, says the new legislation expands the Basic
Educational Opportunity Grant program to include students from families whose incomes
are between $15,000 and $25,000, and increases "dramatically" the amount of income independent students may earn and still be eligible for aid.
Thomas encourages Evergreeners who think they may now be eligible for new assistance
to contact her office, which is already accepting applications for the 1979-80 academic
year.
The Basic Grant program, Thomas says, "is an entitlement program." Students will
recieve payment from the college but their eligibility .and actual amount of aid are determined by the U.S. Office of Education. Financial need is determined by a Congressionally
approved formula which is applied consistently to all applicants.
Both part-time and full-time Evergreen students may be eligible for Basic Grant aid
if they are able to meet the Basic Grant eligibility formula, are an undergraduate, and
are a citizen, national or permanent resident of the U.S. Basic Grants for next year will
range from $50 to $1800:
Students with questions should stop by Financial Aid, Library 1220 or call 866-6205.
STRECKER RESIGNS FACILITIES POST
(
Facilities Director Bob Strecker announced his resignation last week after nearly a
decade on the Evergreen staff. Strecker, who was honored this morning at the bi-weekly
Deans' and Directors' breakfast, begins a new job as an engineer with the State Department of
Transportation Monday. He joined the college staff in August of 1969 as a plant engineer,
was promoted to a facilities engineer in 1974 and named director in July, 1976.
