HERB ELLIS LAUNCHES EVERGREEN EXPRESSIONS NOVEMBER 3
Jazz guitarist Herb Ellis, whose music has filled concert halls, television stages
and recording studios for more than 40 years, presents an evening of swinging improvisations
at Evergreen Saturday, November 3. The concert, set to begin at 8 p.m. in the Experimental
Theater, launches "Evergreen Expressions," a nine-part performing arts series slated to bring
theatrical, dance and musical attractions to the college during the next seven months.
Ellis, a composer and performer who has topped every major jazz poll since the 1940s,
performs with Pacific Northwest bassist Red Kelly and Port Townsend drummer Mike McKinley
in the Saturday night performance, his only concert in the Puget Sound area.
"A LIVING LEGEND"

The man reviewers have labeled "a living legend in music" began his career as a country
guitar picker in Farmsville, Texas. In the 1940s he joined Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orchestra
and later played with the Jimmy Dorsey Band, but he first gained musical prominence as a
member of "Soft Winds," an instrumental vocal trio with whom he jointly composed a number
of popular tunes, including "Detour Ahead" and "I Told Ya I Love Ya Now Get Out." The 1950s
>aw Ellis performing with the Oscar Peterson Trio and touring with Jazz at the Philharmonic
for five years, followed by extensive service as an accompanist with Ella Fitzgerald and Julie
London. Later Ellis joined a number of television studio bands, backing such entertainers
as Danny Kaye, Red Skelton, Joey Bishop, Delia Reese and Merv Griffin.
Early in the 1970s, Ellis combined talents with guitarist Joe Pass to record the first
of many highly acclaimed sounds on the Concord Jazz label. Later, he devoted his efforts to
what was called an "historical jazz trio" called the Great Guitars and comprised of Ellis,
Charlie Byrd and Barney Kessel. The three attracted sell out crowds throughout Australia
and New Zealand, then came home to overwhelming response at Carnegie Hall and the Concord Summe
(jazz) Festival. In more recent years the affable musician has concentrated on tours and
concerts with his own trio, offering music that combines blues, country, jazz variations,
solo and accompaniment roles in what reviewers labeled a "beautiful balance with consistently
entertaining improvisations."
AND, GOOD STORIES TOO
Ellis's relaxed but wry sense of humor enriches each of his performances with a series
of well-spun tall tales. His fans can count on an Evergreen evening of not only great music—
but also of camaraderie with his long-time jazz friends Kelly and McKinley and of sounds and
stories which reflect contemporary developments in American music.
Series tickets for Evergreen Expressions are on sale now through Evergreen's Office of
College Relations. Persons may pay $26 for seven performances and receive tickets for all
nine; or pay $18 for five performances and receive tickets for six. Special student rates
permit purchase of seven tickets for receipt of nine at $16, or purchase of five tickets
for receipt of six at $12.
Individual tickets for the Herb Ellis concert are $5 general admission or $3 for students
and senior citizens. They may be reserved by calling College Relations, 866-6128.

UPS COMES TO TESC
TEACHER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM OFF TO SUCCESSFUL START
By Bill Polfus, College Relations Editor

Early this fall, the University of Puget Sound came to Evergreen. Not to conquer, but
to complement. Its role: to teach education courses in the new Teachers Certification
Program. The program is primarily a half-time effort which allows Evergreen students time
to pursue their subject area specialties and results in provisional certifications for teaching at the elementary, junior high or senior high school level.
Academic Dean Barbara Smith has been delighted with the response to the program,
which received "well over 200 inquiries for its first series of classes.
We designed the
program for 30 students, re-negotiated with UPS and now have enrolled 60," Smith enthused,
"but because the program is designed sequentially and must be taken in four consecutive
quarters, we had to establish a waiting list."
HIGH CALIBER APPLICANTS
Inquiries were especially strong from persons in southwest Washington, but interest
was shown from all over the United States. Half the students selected were totally new to
Evergreen; many either had their degree from some other college or were transferring here
to complete their educational goal. Several already had their degree from Evergreen and
applied for admission even before official announcement of the program was made. An indication, says Smith, "that communication lines to alums are open and operating."
The quality of applicants was shared in an amusing anecdote, by Robert Hostetter,
professor of education and Director of Student Teaching and Field Programs at UPS. He told
Smith he bet his colleagues Evergreeners would score higher in the required competency tests
than their counterparts at UPS. Smith smilingly recounts, "They did." And Hostetter is as
pleased as Smith.
/
"After all, we're here to train teachers," Hostetter pointed out, "and we've always fout._
Evergreen students do good work, as we've had a number of them come to us at UPS."
Because there existed this "evident need to fill," Hostetter said the logical step was
for Evergreen to incorporate separate programs into one cohesive and necessary academic
exercise. "We were delighted that Evergreen chose our UPS program from the many submitted by
other colleges," he noted. One reason for the choice, among many, Hostetter and Smith believe
is that UPS complements the Evergreen experience.
SIMILARITY OF METHODS NOTED
"UPS is a small, fairly traditional liberal arts institution, with a strong tradition
in teaching," Hostetter said, "and our methods of teaching seem to fit the Evergreen liberal
arts philosophy. In that sense, we are quite different from other colleges in this state
which offer teacher education programs."
The student populations of both colleges are similar, both educators agree, in that they
include community college transfers, housewives, working persons who want to finish college
and receive teachers certification, even persons with BA degrees who want to return to college
for certification alone.
However, all is not "a bed of prosaic epithets," said Hostetter, because differences do
arise, even in the development of the best planned programs.
Some thirty percent of TESC's
undergraduate and graduate population voiced strong beliefs about what the program should
offer them," Hostetter recalled. "However, we are not here to change the public school
system, contrary to some of the students expectations. We are here to prepare them to be
very good teachers in that system. There is a need for the inquisitive, thoughtful person,
of course, and in our program, we try to blend that traditional aspect with the Evergreen
experience," Hostetter said.
/
EXCELLENT RESULTS FORSEEN
Smith is pleased with the first effort, especially the aspects of teaching which include
a lot of work in the field, as students spend part of each quarter observing or teaching in
schools and devote all of their final quarter to teaching.

-3Hostetter forsees excellent results, "because of the tremendous support we've had from
"vergreen faculty in working out a program that corresponds to our major program and still
remains Evergreen in concept." Hesitatingly offering a little philosophy on the subject,
Hostetter concluded, "there are three bodies who want to see this program succeed; the
Evergreen students, the Evergreen faculty and the UPS faculty. Even as others watch to see
if we will fail, I don't believe they will see what they might expect. We are succeeding!"
EVANS;

FALL ENROLLMENT "AN ENORMOUS SUCCESS"

Fall Quarter enrollment at Evergreen is at its highest peak in the past three years and
includes a 31 percent jump in the number of new students enrolling directly from high schools.
President Dan Evans says the new fall tally of 2,504 students falls within the college's
legislatively mandated enrollment target band and represents "an enormous success."
The figures show 1,908 students registered for Fall Quarter full-time studies while
596 registered for part-time academic work for a full-time equivalent (FTE) count of 2,250.
The new enrollment figures reflect a 7.8 percent increase in total enrollment growth,
a 31 percent increase in the number of new admits directly from high schools, and a 27 percent
rise in part-time enrollees. One hundred fifty-five high schoolers enrolled in Evergreen
this fall, compared to 118 Fall Quarter, 1978. Last fall 437 part-time students enrolled,
compared to 596 this year. Those figures, says Evans, "reflect changing feelings, attitudes
and enthusiasm about Evergreen and are just the beginning of a major turnaround."
"This year we've definitely bounced back from previous enrollment difficulties and we're
on our way to a better enrollment picture," the president noted. "Enrolling more students
is kind of like driving an automobile — it takes more energy to stop and turn the car in
a new direction than it does to simply accelerate in the direction you're already moving."
Pleased that the college "is clearly on its way to renewed growth," Evans said the figures
ire the direct result of increased staff efforts. "We worked harder and smarter this year,"
ne said. "An absolutely terrific job was accomplished by the staff — and the job is one
that we can continue to build upon in future years."
Interesting sidelights to Evergreen's fall enrollment show a shift in the percentage of
men and women attending the four-year college. For the past several years, the percentage
has been almost exactly 50/50. But this fall some 52.4 percent of the fall enrollment (1,312)
are women and 47.6 percent (1,192) are men. The number of new high school admits also
impacted the statistics, bringing the average age of Evergreen students down from 23 years
8 months to 23 years 4 months.
Out-of-state residents accounted for 23.8 percent of the fall count, slightly more than
last year, and non-white students accounted for 8 percent, slightly fewer than in previous
years.

YOUTZ

ENERGY SOLUTIONS WEDNESDAY

Dr. Byron Youtz, an advocate of solar and alternative energy development, will explore
"ways to facilitate solutions to today's complex and urgent energy problems," Wednesday,
October 31, in the continuing "Piece of My Mind" series beginning at 12:15 p.m. at the
First Methodist Church in downtown Olympia. Dr. Youtz, provost, Evergreen academic vice
president and faculty physicist, believes energy "must be examined from an interdisciplinary
perspective, one that encompasses the problems of technology, economics, politics and lifestyles."

The Evergreen professor's talk is the fourth in the "Piece of My Mind" series sponsored
jointly by Associated Ministries of Thurston County and the Campus Ministries in cooperation
with Evergreen, Saint Martin's College and Olympia Technical Community College.
BRITISH GUITARIST ROCKS HERE THURSDAY
Fred Frith, former guitarist for Henry Cow, an experimental British rock ensemble,
brings his unusual style of electronic guitar to Evergreen's concert stage Thursday,
November 1. Set to perform at 7 p.m. in the Communications Building Recital Hall, Frith
promises to apply a variety of common accessories to his guitar to produce the kind of nontraditional sounds which helped make the Henry Cow a political and musical leader of Avant-^
Garde rock in Britain for more than a decade.
Using alligator clips, mirrors, bits of cloth, string and even rubber bands, Frith is
expected to fill the Recital Hall for the one night performance sponsored by Evergreen,
KAOS FM radio, and the Olympia Chapter of Rock in Opposition.

-5Advanced tickets at $1.50 each are on sale now for the Thursday evening concert at
Budget Tapes and Records, Rainy Day Records, the Gnu Deli and the Evergreen Bookstore,
"ickets will also be available for $2 each at 6 p.m. on November 1 at the door of the
Communications Building.
Following his concert, the solo guitarist will stage an informal question/answer
session with musicians and other interested persons on Friday, November 2, beginning at 1 p.m.
in Room 306 of Evergreen's College Activities Building. Topics Frith will examine include
private production and distribution of music outside the recording industry, the guitar,
"Rock in Opposition" and Avant-Garde music.
Donations for the Friday afternoon discussion will be accepted at the door of CAB 306.
CLABAUGH CHARGES DAY CARE DTF
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh has charged a 22-member Disappearing Task
Force to review guidelines for the Driftwood Day Care Center. The DTF, which first convened
Tuesday, meets again Wednesday, October 31 at 1:30 p.m., probably in Library 3112. Temporary
Chairman Betsy Diffendahl will preside over the meeting, which will focus on sharing newly
gathered research on the Center, directed by Bonnie Gillis.
Of prime concern to members of the DTF is if the Center can continue to both provide
service to children of students and serve as an academic training laboratory for students
interested in studying child development. Currently two students are gaining academic credit
for their experience at the center. DTF members will also investigate existing funding
mechanisms for the center, explore possible alternatives for its facilities, and examine its
governance and reporting lines.
The Center this fall is filled to capacity, with an enrollment of 30 and a waiting list
of 14 children. Daycare is provided between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays, though special
arrangements are availalbe to those parents who require child care between 8 and 9 a.m. and
and 5 p.m. All youngsters currently enrolled are children of Evergreen students who pay
on a sliding scale according to their income and are required to contribute at least one
four-hour shift at the center per month.
EMPLOYER DIRECTORY PROJECT FUNDED
Work has begun on an Employer Resources Directory for Thurston County. Funded by the
Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA), the project is sponsored by Evergreen's
office of Career Planning and Placement, with additional support from Cooperative Education.
The nine-month project involves work by a three-member team conducting surveys and
visitations with businesses and industries in Thurston County. Ralph Smith, Evergreen alum,
former editor of the Cooper Point Journal and one of the project coordinators, said that the
directory will be of value to everyone in the employment counseling field as well as anybody
just looking for a job.
"What we're trying to do here," Smith said, "is compile a directory listing employers in
Thurston County that shows what kind of employees they hire and how they go about hiring them."
For more information on the directory, contact: Thurston County Employer Resources
Directory, Library 3232, The Evergreen State College, 866-6136.
ECCO INVITES FACULTY/STAFF TO JOIN GOURMET GROUP
The Evergreen College Community Organization is again sponsoring an International Foods
group for diners who'd like to share exquisite taste-tempting evenings with other gourmets.
Wendy Los, Food Groups chairwoman says faculty and staff have until the end of the day,
Monday, October 29, to sign up for the groups, which will stage five dinners this year.
"The first dinner is tentatively set for Saturday, November 17, with a Japanese theme,"
she says. "We've also scheduled four more dinners focusing on different countries or themes
for the new year, including January 12, Holland; February 23, New England, USA; March 29,
Greece; and May 3, French Quebec."

-6Los says four or five couples convene at one host house for each dinner. The hosts
determine the menu and arrange with the other couples which portions of the meal they'll .
prepare and bring. "We always divide the cost equally among the participants and we've
found it rarely runs higher than $10 to $12 per couple," she says. The groups change each
time so everyone gets a chance to meet new people. Each couple hosts only one time per year
and everyone tries to make their dinners "as authentic as possible," she notes.
Persons interested in joining the Foods Groups should call Los at 866-0.202 before the
end of the day Monday so she can finalize arrangements before the first dinner next month.

SOCCER 'DUCKS

WIN ANOTHER ONE

The Geoduck Soccer squad continued its winning ways Wednesday when it beat Pacific
Lutheran University 2 to 1 in a cold, rainy match that saw Coach Ivan Raznevich employ
his soon-to-be-famous "Swiss Bolt Tactic" against the hapless Lutes.
The Geudocks, who last week tied the Lutes 1 to 1, this week used an aerial attack,
combined with the Swiss Bolt Tactic, which Raznevich says is a "total defense, counter
attack system that suits a team like ours."Jacques
Zimicki's 15-yard goal got the game
going in the 55th minute Wednesday, with the help of an assist from Wing Jack Ramsey. PLU
tied the game in the 67th minute when Geoduck halfback Brian Smith accidentally headed in a
goal off a Lute corner kick. Evergreen's winning tally came in the 80th minute on a pro'essionally set up corner kick that saw the ball crossed to Stuart Taylor at the near post.
Taylor, seeing the goalie move to block his shot, headed the ball to Ramsey, moving toward
far post. Ramsey then headed the ball right past the stunned Lute goalie.
With three games behind them, the mighty Bivalves are undefeated with a record of
and one tie. Raznevich is understandably pleased with his infant squad.

GRADUATE PLAN DELIVERED TO CPE FOR FINAL REVIEW
Evergreen took another major step toward completion of plans for its first graduate
program this month when a draft proposal was delivered by faculty planners to the Council for
Postsecondary Education (CPE). The proposal, which would enable up to 35 students to begin
graduate work in Public Administration at Evergreen next September, comes before CPE for
final action in December.
Developed by a faculty team under the direction of Dr. Guy Adams and Academic Dean
Dr. Will Humphreys, the proposal carefully outlines 60 hours of academic study directed
toward "providing rigorous, high quality professional education in public administration,
with the aid of fostering the continued improvement of public service in the State of Washington."
The proposal sets the stage for the new program within the context of Evergreen's
historical mission. Since the college was created in 1967, it has been dedicated toward
three major goals: providing an innovative undergraduate liberal arts program for the
citizens of Washington; serving the educational needs of southwestern Washington, and establishing a special educational relationship with state government. The proposed Master's
program offers, say faculty planners, "a renewed commitment" to meeting the second two of
those goals.
"First Foray Into Graduate Education"
Under study since 1974, the proposal got its first major boost in 1976 when faculty
members launched their first comprehensive undergraduate program in management. With that
program providing the foundation, Evergreen last fall agreed to commit itself to establishing
''a sound program of professional education in public administration as our first foray into
graduate education." This internal commitment was bolstered by "The Evergreen Study,"
completed last fall by CPE, which recommended that Evergreen develop a program that "paid
special attention to the educational needs of persons associated with state government in
Olympia."
Enabling legislation for that program was approved by the 1979 State Legislature and,
by Spring Quarter, faculty members were hard at work, complemented in their efforts by a
16-person advisory board of practicing public administrators.
Adams and four other faculty planners (Gayle Rothrock Boyle, Virginia Ingersoll, Russell
Lidman and Thomas Rainey) met throughout the summer to develop their proposal, with the
assistance of three external reviewers: Dr. George Shipman, University of Washington
professor emeritus; Dr. Geoffrey Cornog, Sangamon State University professor of public
administration and public affairs; and Dr. Bayard Catron, George Washington University
associate professor of public administration.
Their recommendations — and the suggestions of the advisory board — were woven into
the new program which, says Dr. Adams, will be characterized by "the hallmarks of an
Evergreen education — interdisciplinary, collaboratively taught programs of study organized
around real world cases or problems."
At the center of the graduate studies will be the Evergreen Seminar, offering "a small,
highly participative learning arrangement in which students engage an issue or a piece of
written work in a cooperative, but rigorous process of educational discourse."
Student Goals Outlined
Using those traditional Evergreen academic modes, the graduate program will concentrate
on helping students develop: clear and effective oral and written communication skills;
traits of civil and ethical responsibility, particularly a "public service orientation that

-2fosters among students an understanding of the effect various policies and procedures have,
on the public"; critical and analytical abilities; integrated study of public policy and ad aistration; and orientation toward state and local government, supported by case studies, texts
and examples grounded in state and local administration.
The proposal will also seek to support implementation of affirmative action goals so
that the new MPA program "makes a contribution to increasing the pool of qualified women and
minority public servants," says Adams.
What the graduate program hopes to accomplish can be best illustrated, notes its
planners, "by the sorts of graduates we hope to produce."
"We seek to develop the same traits in our graduate students which have characterized
Evergreen's previous graduates," explains Adams. "We envision graduates who become undogmatic citizens and uncomplacently confident individuals in a changing world. We hope the
program's graduates will work well in situations requiring both group and independent efforts,
who can communicate effectively, demonstrate a better than average ability to solve problems
and respond constructively to evaluations of projects they undertake."
In addition, emphasizes Adams, "we hope our graduates will continue to exhibit exemplary
self directedness and a keen ability to analyze, critique and solve problems."
Six Full Quarters Required
Graduates will be best prepared for developing or strengthening those traits by completing
some 60 hours of required coursework, offered over six quarters for full-time students or
eight quarters for part-timers. Included among the courses planned for the 1980-81 academic
year are: The Political and Economic Context of Public Administration, Public Policy and Its
Administrative Implications Managing Human Resources, Managing Fiscal Resources, and a
Summer Quarter internship in public administration.
Requirements for admission to the new program are clear and specific: completion of
a detailed application form; provision of transcripts of all prior college study; scores on
the Miller Analogy Test; an essay of less than 2,000 words; and a group interview.
(
Probably toughest of the five requirements is the essay, which requires applicants to
select a public policy issue, describe the problem and the obstacles to its resolution,
indicate major competing points of view and offer support of an alternative most compelling
to the applicant.
If CPE grants formal approval to the MPA program in December, applications will be
accepted immediately thereafter, with the first 35 students to be notified of their acceptance during Spring Quarter. Inquiries about the new program mav be directed to the Admissions
Office.

ACCREDITATION TEAM ARRIVES WEDNESDAY. OPEN MEETING SET.THURSDAY
An 11-member accreditation team from the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
comes to campus for three days next week for Evergreen's first regular five-year
reaccreditation visit. Headed by Reed College President Dr. Paul Bragdon, the team will
evaluate progress the college has made since it was first awarded full accreditation in
June of 1974.
Focus of the three-day-visit will be on academic programs, but the team is also
expected to examine all aspects of the college, including specifically student services,
library and administration.
Students, faculty and staff will have a chance to meet with the team and discuss its
work on Thursday, October 25 in an open session from noon to 1:30 p.m., tentatively
scheduled in Room 108 of the College Activities Building.
Members of the accreditation team include: Dr. Joseph Axelrod, professor of humanities
at San Francisco State University; Dr. Aldon Bell, associate dean of continuing education
at the University of Washington; Dr. Eli Bower, professor of psychology at the University ^
California at Berkeley; Dr. Carter Broad, professor of biology at Western Washington
University; Dr. John Brown, vice president for academic affairs at Lewis and Clark College;
Dr. Brock Dixon, vice president for administration at University of Nevada-Las Vegas;
Dr. Robert Jarecke, director of instructional materials at California State University at

-3Sacramento; John Maestas, assistant professor of American Indian education at Brigham Young
University; Dr. Arnold Pickar, professor of physics at Portland State University; and Dr.
Jean Walton, dean of students at Pomona College in Claremont, California.
Also visiting with the team is Dr. James Bemis, executive director of the Commission
on Colleges.
Preceding the team's on-campus visit, Dr. Bragdon, Dr. Dixon and Provost Byron Youtz
will devote Tuesday to a review of the Vancouver program, while Dr. Bell and Academic Dean
Will Humphreys visit the new Port Angeles program.
The visit concludes Friday afternoon when the team offers an oral report to faculty
convenors and key administrators on its tentative findings.
MPA FACULTY APPLICANTS SOUGHT

Evergreen has begun recruiting applicants for two faculty positions in the proposed
master's degree program in public administration, according to Academic Dean Will Humphreys.
Sought are "liberal arts-oriented generalists" interested in teaching both in the new MPA
program next fall and in the undergraduate curriculum.
Humphreys says minimum requirements for candidates are a master's degree plus three
years teaching and or public service experience, but notes that a doctoral degree is preferred.
Applicants should have teaching interest in public financial management, human resources
management, applied quantitative methods, political economy, and public policy and its
administrative implications.
Persons interested in applying are urged to contact Humphreys before December 20.
UPCOMING EVENTS
FATHER SCOTT EXPLORES USE OF HISTORY WEDNESDAY
How to "use" history in our everyday lives will be explored by Father John Scott,
president of Saint Martin's College, on October 24 in the third presentation of the "Piece
of My Mind" series. A historian, teacher and student, Father Scott says he's interested in
sharing the "pluses and pitfalls of applying knowledge of history to our lives" in his talk
which begins at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday at the First Methodist Church in downtown Olympia.
What history can do for us, says Father Scott, depends in part on our understanding
of the historians who compile it. "We need to understand their viewpoints before we can
best utilize the lessons history carries," the Saint Martin's president asserts. Beyond
academic explorations of history, Father Scott believes there are practical applications
of historical lessons. But, before those uses can be applied, he believes, "we need all
the facts we can get — the cold facts we find in historical statistics, the luke-warm
facts found in newspapers and diaries, and the red hot information often found in fiction."
Father Scott's Wednesday noon presentation is sponsored by the Associated Ministries of
Thurston County and the Campus Ministries in cooperation with Evergreen, Saint Martin's and
Olympia Technical Community College. It will be followed on October 31 by a talk by Dr.
Byron Youtz, Evergreen provost and academic vice president.
LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP SLATED OCTOBER 26
Oregon State University will stage an all day workshop on "Leadership and Decision
Making" October 26, beginning at 8:30 a.m. in Room 110 of the College Activities Building.
Directed by Portland State University professor Dr. Larry Steward, the session will discuss
leadership power and accountability, decision making as a group process, "problems that won't
go away," and "delegation, confidence and authority" in the Friday session, which carries
a $55 registration fee. Other topics to be covered include: creative use of conflict, moving
from controversy to consensus, statement and analysis of problems, identifying crucial
criteria and defining action potentials.
Persons interested in gaining additional information are urged to contact Oregon State
University Office of "Endeavors for Excellence," at Corvallis, Oregon 97331 (503-754-2677).

WHITENER LAUNCHES SEMINAR SERIES OCTOBER 30
A four-part series of seminars offering "A Native American Perspective on South Puget(
Sound' begins October 30, led by David Whitener, Evergreen professor of Native American
Studies. The free Tuesday series begins at 11 a.m. at the Thurston County Senior Center at
116 North Columbia.
Offered as part of the Senior Center's "Future of Our Heritage Program," Whitener's
presentations will explore change and continuity in Native American tribal life, emphasizing
the impact on local tribes. Whitener, a Squaxin tribal member, will also discuss the role
of elders in tribal society, conflicts in educational values, Native American relationships
to the land, and the future of Native American heritage.
All interested community members, especially senior citizens, are invited to attend
Whitener's series. He urges older citizens to attend because, he says, "the active participation of our elders is something we can't do without in American society." Students
from his Evergreen Native American Studies program are also likely to participate in the free,
four-part series.
The seminar is funded in part through the Washington Commission for the Humanities.
Complete information is available at either the Senior Center or through Sue Ellen Heflin,
943-6181.
OLYMPIA SYMPHONY HEADLINES TUESDAYS AT EIGHT CONCERT

-5GEODUCKS DOWN SAINTS
The Evergreen Geoduck hooters scored their first intercollegiate victory Friday when
they defeated cross town rival Saint Martin's College 2 to 1 in a thrill-packed soccer match
before an estimated 200 fans on the campus playfield.
Duck winger Erin Sander opened the scoring with only 58 seconds elapsed in the first
half by drilling a ten yard volley to the back of the Saint's net. The Saints scored the
equalizer in the 50th minute on a direct penalty kick resulting from a hand ball in the
penalty box. The winning Evergreen tally came in the 65th minute of play when midfielder
William Lahai intercepted a pass at midfield and skillfully dribbled up the sideline.
Marked closely, he directed a cross over his shoulder, centering the ball to the front of
the goal. Striker Andy McCormick timed his run perfectly, and headed the cross into the net
for a spectacular winning goal.
Defensively, the Bivalves had strong fullback play from James Herman and Don Huff.
Wingers Jack Ramsey and Warren Waldorf provided much of the offensive play.
The Geoducks were scheduled to play Pacific Lutheran University October 17 in Tacoma
and again on October 24 at 3:30 at Evergreen.
CHAMBER MUSICIANS SOUGHT
Musicians interested in performing classical music are invited to join the newly
formed
Evergreen Chamber Orchestra, according to its new director, adjunct faculty member
Roupen Shakarian. The orchestra, which rehearses Thursday at 8 p.m. in Room 110 of the
Communications Building, seeks the talents of violinists, violists, cellists and string
bass players, says Shakarian, but winds and brass will "also be welcomed."
Music planned for this year's repertoire include works by Bach, Mozart, Haydn and other
"diverse pieces that include voices."
"Come play the music of the masters and enjoy the fun of performing music together,"
urges Shakarian.
FACULTY EXCHANGE CLEARINGHOUSE

ESTABLISHED

A regional clearinghouse for faculty exchanges has been established to assist western
colleges and universities and their faculties in arranging such exchanges. Through its
Faculty Exchange Clearinghouse, WICHE — the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education — will publish in November and February free listings of "Exchange Positions Wanted"
and "Exchange Positions Available." The listings, which will be distributed to institutions
throughout western states, may be initiated either by departments or by individual faculty
members.
Faculty exchanges must be at least one term in length and must be in the thirteen
western states served by WICHE: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
The project promotes the sharing of education resources among states to provide faculty
members with new research facilities, contact with other experts in their fields, and
experience with different teaching environments and student bodies. Individual departments
and institutions must work out financial details of the exchanges.
An application form is available by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to:
WICHE, Graduate Education Project, P.O. Drawer P, Boulder, Colorado 80302.
DID YOU KNOW?
The State ol Washington pays an annual average cost of $3,993 for every student who attends
r srgreen? Budget officials estimate that it costs $4,590 a year to educate a student at
'^.ergreen; 87 percent of the college total operating revenue is generated from tax funds, so
the estimated state tax fund cost per student is just shy of $4,000.
Evergreen's Library has among the highest rates of circulation per student of any in the
State's four-year public college system. Library Dean Jovana Brown says during the last year
for which full statistics are available, 1976-77, Evergreen averaged 38.01 books circulated per
student, compared to 31.38 at Western, 18.83 at Eastern and 13.92 at Central Washington Universities.

GRABS REPORT SUCCESS IN "LIFE AFTER

EVERGREEN"

You'll meet them throughout state government where they work as legislators, aides,
information officers and administrative assistants.
You can gain their help in medical
facilities where they work as doctors, nurses and dietary supervisors, or in legal offices
where they've established their own practices or begun work as legal aides. They're found
in graduate schools throughout the country, in newspaper offices and radio stations where
they write the news, fill the air waves with commentary and music and create political cartoons.
They're also working as appraisers, accountants and insurance agents, as piano teachers,
costume designers, gallery coordinators and boat builders. Several are law enforcement
officers and caseworkers.
They're environmental planners, surveyors, computer programmers,
draftspersons and architect apprentices.
What "they" have in common is their degree from Evergreen. They're among graduates of
the first seven classes from the state's only four-year public college and the latest school
placement study shows that more than 90 percent of those who have reported their activities
have found successful placement in jobs, graduate schools or other vocations of their choice.
Gail Martin, coordinator of Evergreen's Office of Career Planning and Placement, says
2,989 students graduated from Evergreen between 1972 and the end of Spring Quarter, 1978. Of
those 2,437 have reported their activities to her office and 2,219
slightly more than
91 percent
indicate successful placement. Total placement figures show 1,692 (69

percent) of those graduates reporting are employed; 382 (more than 15 percent) are attending graduate schools; 218 (more than eight percent) are seeking employment; and 139 (more
than five percent) are traveling, homemaking, applying to graduate schools or not seeking
placement at this time, Martin notes.

CLASS OF 1978 REPORTS IN
The most recent graduating class covered in the newly released placement report
those who completed their degrees by June of 1978
have continued to follow in the success
ful footsteps of their predecessors, says Martin. A survey taken one year after they graduated shows members of the Class of 1978 have an overall placement rate of 85 percent in
their first year out of college. Of that 85 percent, 70 percent are employed; nine percent
have been accepted into graduate schools; 15 percent are seeking work; and six percent are
not currently seeking placements.
Statistics on the Class of 1978 show an increase in the numbers of persons employed in
professional work
jobs that require completion of a bachelor of arts or science degree.
Included in that category are graduates working as wilderness instructors, fisheries biologists, planners, counselors, management analysts, artists, high school and community college
teachers, writers, reporter
Goune.>. managers an-i accountants.
The Class of 1978 report.? some 19 percent of its surveyed mfeffibefs -?.~E
in para
or pre professional jobs
positions which, says Martin, "usually require some college education but not a degree." Working as para professionals are Evergreeners employed as
marketing assistants, legal aides, apprentice boatbuilders, forestry assistants, architect
apprentices, media and teaching aides, biology interns and assessors.
The latest class shows fewer alums working in non professional jobs —
those which do
not require college study. Martin says alums often select non professional jobs to finance
their graduate work, pay for travel, fund their volunteer activities "or mark time while
they make other career plans." Some 13 percent of those sampled are working as loggers,

- 2 painters, bus drivers, security guards, mechanics, telephone installers or farm workers.
SOCIAL SERVICES STILL TOPS
Five major employment fields attracted more than 50 percent of the Class of 1978.
Counseling and social services, traditionally an attractive field for Evergreen alums, dt;«
14 percent of those surveyed, while public administration attracted 13 percent of the surveyed 1978 work force and education drew an additional nine percent. Environmental science
and business administration also attracted eight and seven percent of those employed, respectively.
Other career areas which attracted Evergreen graduates in 1978 included: medicine and
nutrition, four percent; theater, dance and music, fine arts and crafts, electronic communications and computer sciences and mathematics, each employing three percent; and urban and
regional planning and law enforcement and firefighting, both drawing two percent of the 1978
work force surveyed.
Martin says her office also completed surveys of the major career interest areas of
members of each class before they graduated. As expected, those somewhat parallel actual
career placement figures.
When the Class of 1978 prepared to graduate, counseling and social services were cited
as the highest professional interests,followed by biology and environmental sciences and by
public administration. It was the first time public administration had "made the top three"
since the surveys began in 1975, notes Martin. "The percentage interested in that type of
work is even higher," she points out, "if you combine the percent of students interested in
public administration (13 percent) and business administration (five percent)."
GRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTRACT NINE PERCENT
Graduate schools attracted nine percent of the Class of 1978, but the report shows highe
percentages of earlier classes now enrolled in graduate work. "Many Evergreen students
choose to go inmediately into the job market after graduation," explains Martin. "They tell
us they want to be self sufficient, to pay off college bills or take a look at the real
world before they apply to graduate schools."
Traditionally, Evergreen students enroll in graduate schools 12 to 18 months after (
graduation. Hence, the Class of 1977, for example, reports some 14 percent of its members
attending graduate schools; that figure climbs to 19 percent for the Class of 1976 and to 21
percent for the Class of 1975. Then the figures taper back down to 17 percent for the Class
of 1974 and 11 percent for those graduating between 1971 and 1973.
Listed among graduate schools now attended by Evergreeners are those from throughout
the nation, including such prestigious universities as Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Rutgers,
Yale, Dartmouth, Stanford and Chicago. Evergreeners also elect to attend Washington state
colleges and universities for their graduate work. Top among their choices is the University of Washington, where alums are studying art, education, business and finance, coastal
zone management, medicine, law, communications, counseling, economics, electronics, library
science, public administration, social work, wildlife ecology and zoology.
Martin notes that a quick geographic study of "where alums go" was also taken for the
Class of 1978.
Of some 501 surveyed, 407 or 81 percent have settled in Washington state; 15 are found
in Oregon, 13 in California and eight in New York. Evergreeners from the Class of 1978 are
also placed in 26 other states in the nation, as well as in Canada and outside North America.
A complete report of "life after Evergreen"
for the past seven graduating classes is
available through the Office of Career Planning and Placement.

public enjoyed free access to college facilities, including the very popular swimming pool on
what proved to be the hottest day of June, 1979.

run an Oregon business. Two other paid staff positions will fill out the regular CPJ staff
those of associate editor and art director.
Buts points out the new editor, "we need lots of other kinds of help." He says the
paper"has traditionally relied a great deal on volunteer writers and photographers and on
lots of input from the community. He urges interested contributors to contact him

Steilberg and Martin.

upcoming events
JAZZ ARTISTS HEADLINE FRIDAY CONCERT
Jazz recording artists David Friesen on bass and John Stowell on guitar brin^ their /
kaleidoscopic musical selections to Evergreen for one night only on Friday, October 19, beginning at 8 o'clock in the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building. Sponsored
by Evergreen's community radio station, KAOS FM, the two musicians promise an evening
of what reviewers for the New York Post have labeled "major, thoroughly exceptional talent"
that has attracted enthusiastic audiences from British Columbia to southern California,
from New York City to Seattle.
Friesen, a 37 year-old bassist who began his climb to jazz fame in his own Portland,
Oregon coffee house, is rated a "powerful, assured bassist, pitch perfect and possessed
of an irresistible time sense." With only three albums on Inner City records released so
far, Friesen has established a growing reputation for "musical clarity rare even among today's
throng of gifted virtuoso bassists," says New York Post.
Friesen last year began to combine his talent with John Stowell, an imaginative young
guitarist who also records for Inner City Records. Reared in Connecticut, Stowell, a self
taught musician, plays his amplified guitar, says one reviewer, "as if he were surrounded
by fine crystal." His slow burning sustained musical energy blended with Friesen's highly
personal sounds have produced what critics call "a coherence and consistency of expressive
voice that leaves their music ringing in one's memory.
Advance tickets to the Friesen/Stowell concert at Evergreen are on sale now for $3
at Budget Tapes and Records and the Gnu Deli in downtown Olympia, at Rainy Day Records on
Olympia's Westside, and at the Evergreen Bookstore. Tickets, at $3.50 each, will also be
available at the door of Evergreen's Communications Building, beginning at 7 p.m., October 19.
CHEMISTRY CAREERS TO BE EXPLORED
High school and college students throughout Western Washington who are interested in,careers in chemistry are invited to a day-long conference Friday, October 19, at Evergreen
The session is cosponsored by the Younger Chemists Committee of the American Chemical Society
and by two Evergreen interdisciplinary science programs to "bring together industrial and
governmental chemists to discuss opportunities for professional careers in chemistry,"
according to Evergreen faculty chemist Dr. Robert Barnard.
" Our program is intended to help students explore their futures in this field, not to
recruit them for particular industrial or academic agencies," says Dr. Barnard. "We have
invited a number of chemists with a wide range of professional experience who'll offer both
formal presentations and ample opportunities for students to talk with them informally and
answer personal questions."
Designed especially to appeal to college and high school students in chemistry and
chemically related fields, the day-long program begins at 9 a.m. in the Recital Hall of
Evergreen's Communications Building and should, says Dr. Barnard, "offer a -worthwhile experience even for students whose present goals are not geared toward industrial careers."
High school and college faculty members in chemistry are also invited to attend the
Friday session and gain more information about their field and its industrial applications.
The conference carries a $3 registration fee which includes a noon luncheon.
OTCC WOMEN'S STUDIES TOPIC OF OCTOBER 17 TALK
"Women As Winners," a new series of courses offered by Olympia Technical Community Coir- •
lege, will be explained by counselor Rosemary Sullivan in the second "Piece of My Mind"
Series October 17, beginning at 12:15 p.m. at the First Methodist Church. Sullivan, an OTCC
counselor for the past four years, says the new series continues academic offerings previously taught at OTCC and designed for women, but packages them as a whole for mature
students returning to the classroom.

<

-5"We're interested most in helping women use these classes to discover their own identities and skills," says Sullivan. "We want to help them grow in self esteem and we think
that's best accomplished through practical concentration on skills development — by developing assertiveness, mastering ways to handle stress, conquering anxieties about mathematics
||yfand other key subjects and learning how to successfully undergo job interviews."
Sullivan, who has taught the introductory course, "Women As Winners," says the whole
series of academic programs has been compiled with help by OTCC women's program coordinator
Beverly Butters and now includes courses in Career Planning, Coping with Stress, and Math
Anxieties. A teacher and counselor with her master's of education degree in counseling and
guidance, Sullivan says she enjoys directing the women's classes because "they stimulate me
and help me learn new things about myself as well as about the students I teach."
She'll share some of the things she's learned and offer complete details on the
"Women As Winners" courses in her free Wednesday noon discussion, sponsored jointly by the
Associated Ministries of Thurston County and the Campus Ministries in cooperation with
Evergreen, Saint Martin's College and OTCC. Other speakers scheduled for Fall Quarter by
series coordinator Rev. James Symons include: Father John Scott of Saint Martin's College
on October 24; Dr. Byron Youtz, Evergreen provost and academic vice president, October 31;
York Wong, Evergreen assistant academic dean, November 7, and Lynn Patterson, Evergreen
faculty member, November 14.
SINGLE PARENTS SESSION SET SATURDAY

(

A Single Parents Symposium, aimed at establishing support groups in conjunction with
the YWCA and at providing an effective information and referral network for local parents,
will be conducted Saturday, October 20, beginning at 9 a.m. at Evergreen. Cosponsored by
the YWCA and Evergreen, the free session will offer single parents an opportunity to explore
their own needs and make use of existing community services which might help meet those
needs, says conference organizer Mary Oehlerich.
"With the help of an array of local community advocates, counselors and educators,
we'll also provide information about existing community services and zero in on key topics
of interest to parents raising children alone," she says.
Saturday morning discussions include: Evergreen faculty member Dr_. Maxine Mimms
discussing "Single Parenting: A Black Community Perspective," Counselor Norm Nickle analyzing "Sharing Custody: A Male Point of View," and Ron Hooker, director of the Applied Thought
Research Institute, exploring "Stress Reduction." Daycare services will be explored by
Caseworker Supervisor Jean Gregory of the Department of Social and Health Services, and
Centralia College instructor Kathy Coombs will discuss "Single Parenting and Money Management.1
Group discussions will permit further exploration of topics Saturday morning before
the brown bag lunch break at which hot beverages will be available.
Afternoon sessions feature discussion on: "Cooperative Parenting: Visitation Rights,
Custody and Child Support," led by Mary Stephenson, court commissioner for the ThurstonMason Counties Family Court; and "The Stages of Divorce and Their Effects on Parents and
Children" analyzed by Dr. Sam Bradley, Counselor Sharon Moreland of the Community Mental
Health Center will discuss "Readjustment to Being Single," and Virginia Rainwater and Dick
Payle will share information on United Singles and Parents Without Partners, respectively.
The day long session concludes at 5 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Evans Library.
Childcare must be arranged in advance through the YWCA (352-0593) and all persons planning
to attend the Single Parents Symposium are urged to bring their own lunches as campus food
services are limited on weekends.
NEW EXHIBITS TO OPEN
Seattle photographer Dick Busher and Seattle sculptor Valdis Zarens are the featured
artists in one of two new exhibits opening this month at Evergreen. Busher, an artist who
uses cibachrome color printing to emphasize his unsentimental appetite for Pacific Northwest scenery, displays work viewers say "exhibits the uniquely American union of serenity
and sensible straight-forwardness, nature and science one associates with the writings
of Henry David Thoreau." His work goes on display October 20 in Evergreen's Gallery 4,

-6along with sculpture by nationally recognized artist Valdis Zarens, who creates works in
metal and polymer. His creations, which often appear to blend into their surroundings,
carry what critic Thomas Albright calls "that moving quality of recognition so often evoked
in the viewer when a commonplace medium is suddenly seen afresh."
(
The Busher/Zarens display remains on view in Gallery 4 through November 4.
A second new show, featuring "The Evergreen Collection," runs October 13 through
October 30 in Gallery 2. Selections include work of nationally and regionally recognized
photographers, printmakers, painters and sculptors. Also included in the Gallery 2 showing
will be pieces from Evergreen's Traveling Shows: Evergreen Posters, Washington Printmakers,
and Visual Possibilities, a computer graphic and science exhibit of work produced by TESC
faculty, students and staff.
CAST NAMED FOR FIRST ESP
Five actors have been selected to star in the season opener of "Improvisation or The
Shepherd's Chameleon" to be produced by Evergreen Student Productions at Evergreen November 9,
10 and 11. Student director Ben Fuchs says his cast will perform Eugene lonesco's satire
Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings beginning at 8 o'clock in the Experimental Theater of
the Communications Building.
The play, written during the 1950's offers lonesco's view of critics who reviewed his
earlier plays that established his reputation for the Theater of the Absurd.
The contemporary drama will star Tom Gorski, Jeffrey Noyes, Tim Streeter, Timothy
"Digger"Jones and Kristi Hedges. Set design will be under the direction of Jay Leighton,
lighting by Roger Mclntosh, costumes by Laura Hogge and stage management by John Palios,
all Evergreen students working under the guidance of Richard Nesbitt, campus arts coordinator.
COUNSELING HIRES SMITH, ANNOUNCES NEW GROUPS

week this month, has announced nine new groups and workshop sessions for Fall Quarter

Thanks to new allocations from the Services and Activities Fees Review Board, the campu;
bike shop is purchasing new equipment, adding more part-time staff, and offering new services
according to its enthusiastic student coordinator Steve Simpson.
"We've always been underfunded," he believes, "but this year we were just allocated
$8,500, so we're buying new repair stands, an air compressor, a solvent tank and truing
stand." In addition, Simpson says, he's enlisted the help of experienced bike mechanics
who will "be on hand daily to help persons work on their bikes."
The shop, which will be open from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday in the
basement of the College Activities Building, will host a free bicycle safety check Wednesday, October 17, also from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. "Everyone is welcome to stop by for a bike
check up," says Simpson.

Plan on it Wednesday.
EVERGREEN'S FIRST SECURITY GUARD RETIRES
Clayton jSturgis, the first security guard hired by the Washington State Security Patrol
to protect campus buildings just getting underway in 1968, retired last month at the age of
70.
A man recognized by his coworkers and supervisors as a reliable and conscientious
employee, Clayton left his impressions behind him — in the forms of flourshing flowers
and smashed slugs. The earnest security guard reportedly has "an extraordinary green thumb"
and shares the flowers of his labor with campus offices. But, like many gardeners, he
abhors slugs. So if you've noticed a smashed one around Laboratory Two, thank Clayton.
The Security Staff joins the rest of the campus in thanking him for a decade of service
and in wishing him a happy retirement.
ALUMS IN THE NEWS

Two more doctors have joined the alumni ranks. Dr. Nancy Stevens, Class of '73 and
.Sam Farmer., Class of '74 have completed their medical studies at the University of Washington. Dr. Stevens is concentrating her practice on family medicine while Dr. Farmer
says he's working in surgery and opthamology. Dr. Farmer says he found he was "better
prepared" for the University's independent study program in the basic sciences because of
his preparation at Evergreen.
Tom Sampson, Class of '73, has begun his study toward the Catholic priesthood. Tom sayi
he will join the Salesians of Don Bosco in Los Angeles this fall to begin studies in
philosophy, and will then study for a doctorate in theology at the Graduate Theological
Union in Berkeley. Sampson has taught high school law and U.S. history and has served as
a television news reporter in Kalainath Falls and Portland, Oregon and in Lewiston, Idaho
since he graduated. His most recent project involved completing a proposal for a deliquency
prevention program in Portland that was funded through the Center for Community Change in
Washington, B.C.
Dr>

Rick Ricks says he has finished law school and is working with a law firm in Washington
D.C.
His firm represents "whistle blowers" in the federal government, investigative reporters, public and special interest groups and citizen nuclear "watchdogs". Ricks
also reports that Terrie Bjorklund (Class of '76) is attending Antioch Law School; Rick ;
Cohen, Class of '76, is a third year student at Chicago Medical School; Tim Gregg

director of the Northern Tier Pipeline Company Citizen Information Office. He formerly
worked as a community involvement specialist for Metro in Seattle where he concentrated
on long range transit planning, and as assistant director of the former Commission for
Constitutional Alternatives.
Randolph Fish, a 1975 graduate, completed his studies at Pennsylvania College of
Podiatric Medicine in June. Dr. Fish is now serving a residency at the James C. Griffre

has been accepted into that school's Oxford Centre's for Management Studies.
"PEOPLE POWER" OFFICE OPENS

"People Power," the college's newly established Office of Community Volunteer Services, has opened in Cooperative Education under the direction of Evergreen junior Sue Culbertson. The new office, which seeks to coordinate activities between Evergreeners who
want to volunteer and outside agencies who can use their help, is based on a philosophy /
Culbertson says she gained as a frequent volunteer for the North Thurston School District.
"I believe in people helping people," she declares. "I've come to know first hand that
the benefits received through volunteering are reciprocal, that service as a volunteer helps
you grow emotionally as well as educationally."
The new People Power coordinator earned her stripes as a coordinator for Lacey Elementary
School, as treasurer and president of that school's Parent Teacher Association, as chairman
of the school district's Citizens' Curriculum Advisory Committee, and as fund raising chairman for the North Thurston Citizens for Schools Committee.

...EVERGREEN EXPRESSIONS TO BRING JAZZ, THEATER, PUPPETS AND DANCE TO CAMPUS...A new performing art series called EVERGREEN EXPRESSIONS begins its first season on campus next month and
promises to bring a rich array of professional and academic talent for nine productions scheduled throughout the year.
The series, which begins November 3 with a jazz concert by the Herb Ellis Trio, is the
college's first "full blown professional performance series," according to its organizers,
Arts Coordinator Richard Nesbitt and information Services Director Judy Annis. "We wanted to
expand upon the concept of Tuesdays at Eight," says Nesbitt. "We sought to bring in established
entertainers on the weekends when more persons may be able to attend. We also wanted to supplement the Tuesdays at Eight concert series by offering greater variety and more entertainment
options on campus.
The series features what Nesbitt labels some "extremely talented performers," including:
the Herb Ellis Jazz Trio November 3; Best of Black Arts West, a Seattle Theatrical troupe
show, November 17; Odetta, a recording artist and vocalist whose name is synonomous with American folk music, December 1; the Bob Williams Puppet Theater, December 8; "Stones: A Visual

new performing aft series announced
EVERGREEN EXPRESSIONS TO BRING JAZZ, THEATER, PUPPETS AND DANCE TO CAMPUS

A new performing art series called Evergreen Expressions begins its first season on campus
next month and promises to bring a rich array of professional and academic talent for nine productions scheduled throughout the year.
The series, which begins November 3 with a jazz concert by the Herb Ellis Trio, is the
college's first "full blown professional performance series," according to its organizers, Arts
Coordinator Richard Nesbitt and Information Services Director Judy Anni s .
"We wanted to expand upon the concept of Tuesdays at Eight," says Nesbitt. "We sought to
bring in established entertainers on the weekends when more persons may be able to attend. We
also wanted to supplement the Tuesdays at Eight concert series, by offering greater variety and
more entertainment options on campus."
The series features what Nesbitt labels some "extremely talented performers," including
Odetta, a recording artist and vocalist whose name is synonomous with American folk music; Black
Arts West, a Seattle-based performance troupe; and two puppet theaters which Nesbitt predicts
will appeal to audiences of all ages.
"We booked the Bob Williams Puppet Theater, formerly of Portland, for December," he reports,
and "we scheduled a completely different type of show --- of Chinese shadow puppets --- in
Enriching the new series still further are dance performances by a Seattle troupe led by
former Evergreen faculty member Pam Schick, and by Cirque, formerly known as the Portland Dance
Theater .
In addition, Evergreen's own talented faculty and students will perform in the new series,
presenting a theatrical production, "Man of La Mancha" in March, followed by a dance production,
"Images in Motion, " which completes the series in May.
Thanks to support from POSSCA (Patrons of South Sound Cultural Arts) , academic and college
budgets, all this talent will be available to Evergreeners --- and to the general public --- at
inflation fighting prices, points out Annis. "We're offering a purchase plan that really represents the best bargain in town," she says. "Students may purchase tickets for seven performances
and receive tickets to all nine for $16 or pay for five and get tickets to six performances for
$12." Non-students are encouraged to take advantage of similar purchase plans: pay for seven
performances and get nine for $26 or pay for five performances and get six for $18.
Tickets go on sale at the first Tuesdays at Eight Concert October 9, beginning at 7 p.m. on
the fourth floor of the Library. Subscription tickets will also be sold in the Office of College
Relations,
weekdays
between 9 a.m. and noon and 1 and 4 p.m.

ORGANIC FARM SHARES PRODUCE

Gardens at the Organic Farm are bursting with produce and Faculty Member Fred Stone says
Evergreeners are invited to stop by and "buy or earn" freshly harvested vegetables.Students
studying with Stone in the "As You Sow" study program this past three quarters have diligently
tilled the soils and shared their bounty,Stone reports.
"We've been regularly donating vegetables to local senior citizen groups and to Indo Chines
refugees now living in the Olympia area," he says. More than 300 pounds of vegetables have
already gone out to the community, but there's more to be harvested and he urges potential consumers to call the farm (866-6161) and check with caretakers Daniel Hewins, Rick Sterne or Peter
Olson about the types of vegetables available and the hours at which sales can best be madeT
Stone says students who would rather "work than pay" for their produce may also arrange that
option with the caretakers.
The "As You Sow" program has gone into temporary retirement, but will reappear in the
curriculum Winter, Spring and Summer Quarters as a group contract for up to 22 students. Those
interested should contact Stone as early as possible.

STUDENT REPS FOR EVERGKEEN COUNCIL

Students are invited to attend a special meeting Wednesday, October 10 to find out more
about the Evergreen Council,; including ways in which they might be selected to serve as an
official representative of their peers, according to council recorder Rachel Katz.
The meeting, which begins at 10 a.m. in room 306 of the College Activities Building, is
open to all students interested in the council, which exists to "request, gather and dissemi^-te
information relevant to the ongoing welfare of the campus community," says Katz. The Counc3(
which Katz hopes this year will become "a more effective representative of the campus community
in the decision making process," also seeks to "discuss and advise decision makers on issues
affecting the college" and to "reiterate the principles of the college and weigh actions for
compliance with those principles."
Elections in four constituencies will be completed by the middle of October so the council
can begin meeting. Full membership requires 15 student representatives, four exempt and five
classified staff members, and five faculty members. One representative from each constituency,
the to-be-elected moderator, and Katz will form the council's executive committee.
S&A ORIENTATION SET

Student representatives from organizations funded by Services and Activities Fees are urged
to attend a special two-hour meeting Wednesday, October 10 in room 110 of the College Activities
Building to review the 1979-80 S&A budget, become better acquainted with fellow S&A group
coordinators and share "questions, concerns and suggestions," according to Marissa Zwick, S&A
coordinator.
The session will encourage students to meet with their "funding groups" and select an S&A
board representative who will serve as a non-voting advisor to the group and as "a facilitator
to the funding groups," says Zwick. In addition, the session will review such procedures as
how to hire student employees, obtain keys, fill out time sheets, arrange for telephone service,
obtain office supplies, handle printing needs, prepare for travel and coordinate events. And,
for those who successfully wade through the three-page detailed agenda, Zwick promises "a specia
surprise if you make it this far."

RED KELLY. JAN STENTZ HEADLINE CONCERT TUESDAY

Toe tapping jazz tunes from the past 50 years will fill the halls of Evergreen's Library
Building October 9 when the Red Kelly Jazz Quartet launches the Fall Quarter Tuesdays at Eight
concert series. Kelly, former Tumwater restaurateur and jazz bassist extraordinaire returns

Kelly and Perciful, who just returned from a week-long tour of Washington, Oregon and Idaho
with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, performed regularly in Olympia throughout the past five years.
The dynamic and popular duo headlined nightly at the Tumwater Jazz Conservatory until Kelly
sold the restaurant in 1978. Both men earned their musical stripes "on the road" in the hey-day
of big band jazz. Kelly's career included a 14-year stint with Harry James and ample opportunities to perform with Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Charlie Barnett, Claude Thornhill and others.
Perciful played with Harry James for some 17 years, in addition to five years he spent as a
Las Vegas musician.
Joining the two for the one-night stand at Evergreen will be Jan Stentz, an Olympia vocalis
whose voice has been favorably and often compared to Ella Fitzgerald and whose charm on local
stages is widely renown. Performing with the three will be guest artist Rollie Morehouse, a
seasoned jazz musician whom Kelly describes as "the premiere clarinetist in the Pacific Northwest."
The October 9 concert will be preceded at 7 p.m. by a welcoming and membership reception
f the Evergreen College Community Organization (ECCO), also slated for the fourth floor of
che Library.
Admission to ECCO's reception,which also features a special showing of an exhibit of paintings and photography in Evergreen's Gallery 4,is free and open to the public.

-4MIME TROUPE PERFORMS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

The Mica Mime Troupe brings an hour of original comedy and commentary to the stage of *
Evergreen's Experimental Theater for two evening performances October 11 and 12. The threeA.
member Washington troupe performs more than a dozen short sketches, each telling its own story
and all offering social or ecological comments, a chance to laugh and perhaps to shed a brief
tear, says troupe member Michael Long.
"It treats life as humor and humor as a remedy for the ills that plague us all," he believe
"We tend to forget to smile and we all need laughter to brighten our lives. That's why we creat
ed the Mica Mime Troupe."
The group, which appears at 8 o'clock Thursday and Friday evenings, features Long, a
veteran performer who helped establish the theatrical company in California in 1975 and polished
his own mime skills last year while studying with Rags and Patches Theater in San Francisco.
Performing with Long is Michael Hutchison, who brings more than a decade's experience on the
stage to the Evergreen show. Hutchison joined forces with Long in Sacramento, then recruited
the talents of his bride, Jane, for the troupe, which moved to Washington State last year.
Together the trio share production responsibilities, with Jane handling lights and technical
direction and the two Michaels performing their "Chameleon," a show they know from recent performances in Portland, appeals to audiences of all ages.
Reservations for the October 11 and 12 performances may be made by calling the Office of
College Relations, 866-6128. Tickets will be sold at the door of the Communications Building
beginning at 7 each evening for $3 general admission or $2 for students and senior citizens.

Admission to all three Geoduck's soccer matches is free and Raznevich warmly invites the

BRIAN TO EXPLORE CRISIS FACING AMERICAN FAMILIES

The future of the American family
and of the values passed on by today's parents to
their youngsters
will be explored in the first "Piece of My Mind" series October 10, by
Dr. Richard Brian of Evergreen's faculty.
The free, brown bag discussion series begins at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday at Olympia's First
Methodist Church on Legion Way. Now beginning its third year, the series is jointly sponsored
by the Associated Ministries of Thurston County and the Campus Ministeries in cooperation with
Evergreen, Saint Martin's College and Olympia Technical Community College.
"The American family is facing a transitional period that amounts to a crisis," Dr. Brian
believes. "We have reason to be concerned for the kinds of values we're passing on to the
next generation." "Who," he asks," is determining the values our children will hold
when
divorces are increasing, when more mothers of young children are working than ever in our history, and when day care centers, television sets, and changing adult relationships bring new
and often conflicting values into our children's lives almost daily."
Dr. Brian, who has taught at Evergreen for the past nine years, says he hopes to explore
"where all the changes we're going through as a society will lead." "I fear our children are
being taught not to commit themselves to anything," he says. "Our society appears almost /
unstructured, uncontrolled, even formless. It seems to be without direction
and this
amorphous state has got to have an impact
probably a negative one
on the way we all live

B^MMfij^^,.-,-

—5—
Commitment, says Dr. Brian, seems less and less important. Yet, he hopes to encourage
discussion of "what commitment really means
in terms of time, energy^and personal sacrifice
C one's own goals for the good of others, particularly of one's family.
Dr. Brian believes the news about families is "not all bad," and that what's needed is
"the ability to prioritize our lives
to examine closely what really counts and then weigh
our time commitments to job, family and outside activities accordingly." He'll offer his views
on "the family in crisis" for some 30 minutes
between 12:15 and 12:45 p.m. Wednesday, then
open the floor to discussion until 1:30 p.m. for those who can stay past the noon hour.
Dr. Brian's talk is the first of six in the Fall Quarter series coordinated by Rev. James
Symons of the Community for Christian Celebration. Further information on the series may be
obtained from Evergreen's Office of College Relations, 866-6128.
