ACCREDITATION REVIEW TOMORROW; CPE WEIGHS GRAD PROPOSAL WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY
By this time next week, three major decisions on the future of Evergreen will have been made
by groups outside the college. Tomorrow the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges will
conduct a hearing and vote on Evergreen's five-year reaccreditation. Wednesday and Thursday
members of the Council for Post Secondary Education will weigh decisions to approve the college's
request for launching its first masters degree program next fall and to accept its first annual
progress report.
President Dan Evans will lead a five-member Evergreen team to Portland December 1 to partici
pate in a 45-minute hearing before members of the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
who will finalize their reaccreditation report on Evergreen during a four-day meeting at the
Hilton Hotel. Provost Byron Youtz says the morning session will feature a report on Evergreen by
Paul Bragdon, Reed College president and chairman of the accreditation team which visited Evergreen in October. Committee members will discuss Bragdon's report in an open session with Evergreen representatives Evans, Youtz, Vice President for Business Dean Clabaugh, Dean of Student
and Enrollment Services Larry Stenberg and Library Dean Jovana Brown.
Following that discussion, committee members will meet in closed session to vote on the
-ollege's first five-year reaccreditation. The results of that tally will be announced via
.itter to Evans next week.
FIRST ANNUAL REPORT TO CPE
While campus officials await that news, they'll have two major meetings of the Council of
Post Secondary Education on which to concentrate their efforts. The college's proposed masters
degree in public administration comes before CPE's Committee on Academic Affairs for review
December 5, beginning at 10:45 a.m. at Highline Community College. College representatives will
also present Evergreen's first full annual report to the committee Wednesday morning. Prepared
under the direction of Provost Youtz, the report was mandated by the Legislature to keep lawmakers abreast of Evergreen's progress toward implementing more than 20 recommendations delivered
last year to TESC by CPE, and approved by the solons.
Final vote on both the masters degree bill and the annual report won't come until December 6
when the full CPE board meets for its seventy-sixth regular session, beginning at 8:30 a.m.,
also at Highline.
ACADEMIC FAI^S LAUNCH WINTER REGISTRATION WEDNESDAY

"PUSS IN BOOTS" PLAYS DECEMBER 8
A fairy >:ale classic comes to life in special family concerts when Evergreen presents Bob
Williams' Puppets in a magical, musical version of "Puss in Boots" in three shows on Saturday,
December 8 in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
"Puss in Boots," one of the favorite tales of childhood, tells of the Master Cat who, with
a pair of remarkable boots, aids his friend the miller's son in his rise from poverty and obscurity to wealth and a royal marriage.
Created by Charles Perrault, a courtier of Louis XIV, this story portrays his highness as
a grand life-sized puppet called the Sun King in three shows offered at noon, 2 and 4 p.m.
December 8 as the fourth presentation of Evergreen Expressions, the college's new performing
arts series. Other puppet characters in the Saturday afternoon shows range from the two-foot
Marquis of Carabas and Princess to some smaller, real-life-size animals and a giant ogre, all
operated in the manner of the traditional Japanese Bunraku theater.
A well-seasoned company, Bob Williams' puppet troupe each year travels thousands of mile
taking puppet productions to audiences of children and adults throughout the country. "Puss in
Boots" is the troupe's most recent production and features two puppet players, Rosalie Brandon
and Bob Williams, working in full view of the audience to provide life, voice and movement for
the whimsical puppets. Live music for the production is provided by harpsichordist Gayle Johnson
-3-
who shares the stage with the actors and provides French Baroque music by Rameau for scenes of
puppet pantomime.
Advance tickets for "Puss in Boots" are available through Evergreen's office of College
Relations, weekdays during regular working hours for $3 general admission or $1.50 for students

REILLY AND MALONEY HEADLINE SUNDAY CONCERT
Reilly and Maloney, a pair of folk music troubadaurs, combine talents with solo balladeer
Tom Dundee to present an evening of mellow, often original and always highly reviewed music for
one concert only Sunday, December 9, at Evergreen. Slated to perform at 7 p.m. in the second
floor lobby of the Evans Library Building, the threesome bring with them rave reviews from
throughout the West Coast and years of experience in supper clubs and recording studios.
Reilly and Maloney, who've just produced their third album, "Good Company" for their own
firm, Freckle
Records of Seattle, feature original music composed by themselves and an array
of song-writing friends. But the two artists also sprinkle their show with lavish doses of
tunes from every musical era since the 1930s
from folk to fifties rock, from Motown to
Broadway, from country western to jazz.
Together for nearly a decade, the twosome offer intimate acoustic music on guitar complemented by what critics have labeled Reilly's "firm, melodic and distinctive voice" and Maloney!s
"solo style reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot but with a more personal approach." First united in
San Francisco, Ginny Reilly of Illinois and David Maloney of New York have performed the length
of the West Coast, concentrating on clubs in Seattle and the Bay Area where loyal music fans
have returned to their concerts year after year and where their records continue to sell at a
steady and impressive pace.
SINGING STORYTELLER SHARES STAGE
Enriching their Evergreen concert will be an appearance by Tom Dundee, a singing story
teller whose rich sense of humor complements serious, sensitive ballads that celebrate what he
calls his own appreciation of beauty and perception of life. Dundee, a self taught musician
who composes, sings and accompanies himself on guitar, began his career in Chicago and has performed throughout the West Coast, earning the plaudits of San Francisco reviewers.
Voted the most promising local talent in a recent poll, the young artist has been described
as "a talkin' blues man who tells you, sometimes with his voice, sometimes with superb guitar
work, about his own world...one full of old guitars, dogs, pawnshops, and bad experiences with
the merchant society." Dundee, who just released his first album, "A Delicate Balance", on
the Freckle label, will share the Evergreen stage for what promises to be an unusually entertaining evening sponsored by TESC's community radio station, KAOS FM.
Advance tickets for the Sunday night show are on sale now at $3.25 at Rainy Day Records, and
Budget Tapes ancj Records in Olympia and at the Evergreen Bookstore. Tickets will also be
sold at $4 each at the door of the Library Building beginning at 6 p.m. December 9.

"A Ceremony of Caroles" by a women's vocale ensemble, performance of a number of sixteenth
century caroles, and presentation of works by composer Heinrich Scheutz by two choirs accompanied
by musicians on brass. Their music was arranged by visiting faculty member Dr. David Englert
especially for the Tuesday and Wednesday evening concerts.
AMERICAN FAMILY FOCUS OF THREE-DAY
-4SYMPOSIUM
Fourteen advanced students at Evergreen will present a three-day public symposium on the
history and political economy of the American family December 4, 5, and 6 from 2 to 7 p.m. each
day in the College Activities Building. Evergreen faculty historian Stephanie Coontz says her
students will focus each day's presentation on one major theme, examining five separate topicf
within each theme during the free symposium.
Tuesday students will discuss "market society, industrialization and the family," with 30minute presentations offering: "an introduction to American family history," an exploration of
"the effects of industrialization on American women," and discussion of "American children in
the nineteenth century," "social origins and functions of adolescence" and "industrialization
and sexual repression."
On Wednesday, Coontz says her group will concentrate on "the family, immigration and the
formation of corporate capitalism." Topics to be explored include: "the Irish immigrant family
in the industrial city," "the Jewish-American family in the late nineteenth century," "the
Black family in the nineteenth century," "the family and the rise of consumerism," and "the
sexual revolution of the 1920s."
"Theoretical perspectives on the family, labor and sex discrimination" will be discussed on
Thursday. Separate presentations will focus on: "the Black family under slavery," "the modern
ghetto family," "the debate over women's work," "sexual discrimination in America," and "wages
for housework?"
KAOS PRESENTS "PEOPLE POWER" WEDNESDAY
"People Power," Evergreen's Community Volunteer Service Program, will introduce you to some
new ideas about volunteering via a KAOS radio show due to air Wednesday, December 5, from noon
to 1 p.m.
Sue Culbertson, Community Volunteer Service Program Assistant from the Office of Cooperative
Education, will talk with interesting people who either work in community service agencies or
volunteer time to help others. She believes her listeners may be surprised to find there are
many interesting areas in the community where lending a hand can really benefit others. An
experienced volunteer herself, Sue notes that "by helping out, you yourself can be greatly
/
rewarded educationally as well as personally."
Tune in Wednesday, December 5, at noon and see what "People Power" is all about.
WOMEN'S ACCESS CENTER STAGES OPEN HOUSE THURSDAY
An open house for community and student women will be offered Thursday, December 6, from
2 to 5 p.m. in the new "Access for Reentry Women" Center at Evergreen. Newly opened, the
center is designed to serve women by providing support for their return to college, back-up
while they're attending school, and tools for them to achieve independence after graduation,
according to center directors, Diane Winslow and Jaxie Farrell.
Housed in room 3510 of the Evans Library Building, the center represents an expansion of
support services Evergreen has provided for mature students returning to college, including more
than 500 women over 25 years of age who enrolled at TESC this fall.
A recent survey conducted by Farrell showed these women students needed an on-campus place t
meet with their peers and gain information for achieving the most from their educational experience. "We hope the center meets this need and provides women access to expanded life choices,"
says Winslow.
All interested women are invited to stop by the center and gain complete details on Winter
Quarter workshops, daily lunch forums with Evergreen faculty and staff women, and informal
tutorial sessions offered through the center by other reentry women. Call 866-6080 for further
information.

GRUELING "LOST HORIZON" RUN SATURDAY
An ardous 20-kilometer run will test the endurance of local runners Saturday, in the annual
"Lost Horizon Hill Run" staged by Evergreen. Athletic Director Pete Steilberg says the 12.3
mile contest offers "a grueling, muddy, slippery course through creeks and over fallen timber in
the Black Hills south of the college."
The race, which begins promptly at 11 a.m. in front of the Evans Library Building is, adds
Steilberg, "definately not one of our fun runs."
Last year's contest, which attracted 13 male competitors, saw Shelton's Scott Clay-Poole
set an event record of one hour, 18 minutes and 18 seconds for the course, despite snowy skies
and an extremely slick trail. Steilberg advises runners to register at 10:30 a.m. December 1 and
"come prepared for a real ankle buster." Call him at 866-6530 for further details.
SKI CONDITIONING CLASS BEGINS TUESDAY
A pre Ski Conditioning class to help area snow slope sliders get in shape for the months
ahead begins Tuesday, December 4 at Evergreen.
Assistant Athletic Director Jan Lambertz will instruct eight conditioning sessions on
Sunday afternoons and Tuesday and Thursday evenings for a registration fee of $10.
Lambertz, who holds a masters degree in physical education in addition to her
years of experience as a professional ski' instructor at Smugglers' Notch in Vermont, says her
90-minute sessions will be conducted December 4, 11, 18, and 27 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the
Steamplant Gym and December 9, 16, 23 and 30 from 3-4:30 p.m. in the Jefferson Middle School
mnas ium
In-person registration may be completed at Evergreen's Recreation Center (866-6530) or at
the first session December 4 in the Steamplant gym.
DUCKS OPEN SWIM SEASON AGAINST PLU
Evergreen's Geoduck swim squad made history Wednesday night when the splashers carried
the green and white into the college's first official intercollegiate competition against
Pacific Lutheran University Knights in Parkland. Coached by Don Martin, the Geoducks lost to
the Knights, but all the swimmers set personal or school records.
The womens' team comprised of 14 Greeners, lost 84 to 27, but Stephanie Worley took second
place in the 100-yard freestyle and in the 50-yard butterfly. Mikel DeBuse took second in the
50-yard breast stroke and in the 100-yard breast stroke. Lynn Roeder also grabbed a second
place, in the 100-yard butterfly, and Mimi Anderson captured second in the 100-yard individual
medley for the Geoducks.
Five Evergreen men swam in a lopsided contest that saw the Knights win 78 to 17 and the
Geoducks forfeit points in six events. Wayne Dickerson placed second in both the 100- and 50yard free styles, and Henry Date secured the Bivalves best showing in the meet as he was
narrowly defeated in the 200-yard breast stroke with a time of 2:43:16.
Martin, who predicted his young team would have a tough time Wednesday, points out that
many of his competitors "did not come to school to swim. They were on campus and found out
the college was going to start a team. They like to swim and they don't mind working." A
successful high school coach, Martin notes that the Geoducks have two types of swimmers on
the team. "We have some who swam AAU as youngsters but haven't swum competitively for years
-d we have some who haven't swum at all," he said. He foresees a rocky first season for the
^j.valves, but expresses confidence Evergreen will eventually develop into an NAIA swim power.
"We are very slowly and methodically building a program and we are going to do it right," he
vows.
Next step in the program: a match tentatively set for December 7 against Southern Oregon
Swim Club at Ashland.
-6EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
Changes in personnel continued on campus in recent weeks as five new persons have been
hired and a number of others have changed their jobs. New to the staff officially are Cornelius
Bird, education coordinator for Upward Bound; Janice Rathbon, secretary in academics; Carolyn /•
Caruso, office assistant in admissions, and Norma Gilligan, secretary in the Registrar's Offid
Kennedy (Kipy) Poyser, a publications editor for the Department of Natural Resources, has also
been hired as the college's new editor and joins the staff officially on Monday, He'll assume
responsibilities which have been handled by editorial consultant Bill Polfus on a personal service
contract with the college since July 15. Polfus leaves the staff December 14 after presiding
over completion of the college's first combined catalog/supplement, produced in record time with
full cooperation from campus staff and faculty.
Changes in staff also include the promotion of Judy Huntley to program manager in the Registrar's Office and of Kurt Pohl to a utility worker lead in grounds. Former Special Assistant to
the President Lowell Duke Kuehn has begun preparing for his return to the faculty in January,
while his administrative assistant Eileen Humphrey has returned to the academic deans' shop as
an administrative secretary, and Eleanor Dornan, who served in Humphrey's deans' slot for seven
months has resumed her former assignment as secretary in the Office of Cooperative Education.
Changes have also come to the Alumni office where Paul Roberts has resigned to work fulltime as vocalist, musician and manager of Rail Rhythm Band, a country rock group. Paul, a 1974
Evergreen graduate, also served as acting director of development for nearly a year before the
arrival of current director Susan Washburn. Assuming responsibility for Roberts' alumni duties
will be Bonnie Marie, whose new titles are alumni coordinator and Alumni Association executive
secretary.
Provost Byron Youtz has invited faculty members to apply by 5 p.m. December 3 for the
deanship currently held by Will Humphreys. Humphreys will return to the faculty next year after
completing four years as a senior academic dean. His colleague in the "senior deanery", Barbara
Smith, has expressed an interest in assuming Humphrey's post. If no faculty applications are
received by Youtz for Humphreys' position, he will reassign Smith to that post and begin a search
to fill her position.
Resignations have been received from Christina Peterson, accounting assistant in payroll!
Dan Weiss, administrative services manager; and Cynthia Ferrer, office assistant in admissions.
And, finally, Academic Dean Secretary Joanne Jirovec is sporting a black eye this week
a
badge she earned in the process of bagging an elk over the weekend. Seems the scope of her rifle
hit Jirovec as the bullet zoomed on to her target.
LEGISLATIVE MEMO, VOLUME 5, No. 20
VOTERS APPROVE ANNUAL SESSIONS
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
Washington voters approved a constitutional amendment requiring regular annual sessions, the
first of which will begin January 14, 1980. The 60-day session can only be extended by a twothirds vote of the Legislature
an unlikely event in an election year. Topics to be considered
include increasing the interest rate and relieving pressure on state correctional institutions.
The Governor has directed agencies to ask only for emergency aid in their supplemental budget
requests this year.
Evergreen's supplemental budget may include requests for emergency roof repair, additional
funding for regular academic year and summer enrollment, and relief from unexpected utility
rate increases.
Higher Education may also ask for help in faculty salaries to cope with cost-of-living increases. The short session and election year pressures make a generous budget unlikely.
Senator Lois North and Representative Scott Blair (Republicans of Seattle) both won
election to the King County Council in November, Representative Jeff Douthwaite (Democrat of
Seattle) has resigned, and Representative Margaret Hurley (Democrat of Spokane) won the Senate
seat of the late James Keefe, leaving her house seat vacant. The changes leave two vacancies
on the House Appropriations Committee and one on the Senate Ways and Means Committee. All wi/"
be replaced by appointees from the same party.
The Senate Higher Education Committee meets today to discuss the forthcoming session and
confirmation proceedings for gubernatorial appointments, including that of Evergreen's newest
trustee, Herbert Gelman. Both House and Senate Committees have met several times this quarter,
listening to information on Title IX compliance, accreditation processes and educational registration for profit-making institutions,, not to mention the continuing saga of TESC.

...KAOS WINS GRANT...KAOS, Evergreen's non-commercial community FM radio station, has been awarded a $14,800 grant to plan for the extension of its public radio service to residents of Grays
Harbor County. The award is one of six granted in Washington state by the National Telecommunication and Information Administration's (NTIA) Public Telecommunications Facilities Program,
which seeks to provide access to at least one public television station and to public radio
f 'vice for as many unserved areas in the country as possible.
The Grays Harbor County area was selected in part because its geographic location and
mountainous terrain make it virtually impossible for its residents to receive signals from
existing regional public radio stations.
Bill Johnston, student project director of the Evergreen grant, says the first phase of the
six-month Grays Harbor Public Radio Planning Project will be devoted to a survey assessing the
community's needs and its demands for public radio service. The study now underway will seek to
identify community problems and needs that KAOS can address through its programming.

TRUSTEES APPROVE REORGANIZATION PLAN
President Dan Evans achieved approval from the college's Board of Trustees last week of his
reorganization plan to divide administrative responsibilities among five key officials who now
will report directly to him. With no discussion, trustees adopted the new organization chart
(see back page) in toto, thereby adjusting the titles of five administrators and the reporting
lines for several others.
The reorganization, Evans told trustees, will better enable the college to coordinate
responsibilities for student recruitment and enrollment efforts and represents the first phase
of his plan. Trustees asked that Evatis report back in one year on the reorganization for possibl*
adjustments and adoption of phase two.
ACTION CHANGES TITLES
The changes, in brief, require Dean of Student and Enrollment Services Larry Stenberg and
a to-be-hired Director of College Relations to report directly to Evans . Continuing to report
to him will be Academic Vice President and Provost Byron Youtz, Dean Clabaugh, whose title has
been changed to Vice President for Business, and Les Eldridge, whose title now includes Director
of Community Relations in addition to his former designation of Assistant to the President. The
ion also changed the title of Evergreen's Personnel Director Rita Cooper. She becomes the
director of Employment Relations and Affirmative Action. The move also divides the former unit
of Recreation and Campus Activities into two divisions: Recreation and Athletics headed by
Pete Steilberg and Campus Activities directed by Lynn Garner.
In other action, trustees agreed to review at their December 13 meeting the college's
first labor agreement, negotiated with the campus local of the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers. Trustees also conducted a hearing for student CathjL Carr on
a dispute over award of academic credit and inclusions in her official files. They agreed to
report their conclusion in December. Trustees also approved a motion to reorganize methods for
receipt and handling of gifts to the college and the Evergreen Foundation. As a result, all
appeals for non-governmental funds will be now cleared and coordinated by the Director of Development and all gifts from those sources "should be received, recorded and maintained by the Foundation." The college will provide accounting and investing services for the Foundation and,to t\n
extent possible, transfer funds from non-governmental gifts to that non-profit corporation.
KAOS WINS GRANT TO EXPLORE WESTWARD EXPANSION
KAOS, Evergreen's non-commercial community FM radio station, has been awarded a $14,800
grant to plan for the extension of its public radio service to residents of Grays Harbor County.
The award is one of six granted in Washington state by the National Telecommunication and
Information Administrations's (NTIA) Public Telecommunications Facilities Program, which seeks
to provide access to at least one public television station and to public radio service for as
many unserved areas in the country as possible.
The Grays Harbor County area was selected in part because its geographic location and
mountainous terrain make it virtually impossible for its residents to receive signals from
'sting regional public radio stations.
Bill Johnston, student project director of the Evergreen grant, says the first phase of the
six-month Grays Harbor Public Radio Planning Project will be devoted to a survey assessing the
community's needs and its demands for public radio service. The study will seek to identify
community problems and needs that KAOS can address through its programming.
Working under the direction of KAOS's Dave Rauh, volunteers from the county have already
begun work on the survey of community leaders and of the general public. If that study, to be
completed by the end of November, indicates an adequate demand for service, KAOS chief engineer
— 2—
Greg Falxa will then evaluate alternatives for extending the 400-watt station's signal into
Grays Harbor County.
Once a technical plan is completed, KAOS development coordinator Toni Holm will submit a
new proposal to NTIA for additional funds to construct the necessary additional broadcast
facilities. She will also seek to develop matching funds and other donations for the project.(jfj
A final report on the initial six-month effort will be completed by Johnston and submitted to
NTIA next March.
SWIM TEAM TO BEGIN OFFICIAL
COMPETITION
The Evergreen swim team will launch its intercollegiate season with the first of nine
acquatic meets November 28 when the Geoducks take on Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland.
Evergreen coach Don Martin says his 23-member team is also scheduled to travel to Ashland December
7 to compete against' Southern Oregon Swim Club and to Federal Way December 11 to compete against
Highline Community College.
The Geoducks face five meets in January, swimming against Lewis and Clark in Portland
January 5, Whitman College in Walla Walla January 25, and Eastern Washington University in
Cheney January 26.
Three home meets have also been scheduled: against Lewis and Clark College January 12,
Highline Community College January 18 and a three-way contest against Washington State University
and Eastern Washington University February 9.
Martin says his "very enthusiastic young team has the best attitude of any group" he's
taught and notes, "they're eager for this competition." The new Evergreen coach says he's working
his 15 women and eight men swimmers twice a day to prepare for the meets which represent Evergreen's first entry into official NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics)
competition.
VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT FOR GIG COMMISSION REVIVAL WEDNESDAY
Activities Coordinator Mark Chambers hopes to recreate an on-campus Gig Commission to
augment productions of Evergreen events, ranging from dances and concerts to plays, poetry rea'
ings, lectures, debates and films. He's inviting interested students and staff to meet with him
Wednesday, November 21 at noon in room 306 of the College Activities Building to explore
the new organization and projects it might tackle.
"A number of Evergreeners have expressed a desire for a wider variety of events on campus,"
says Chambers. "We want to address this need by organizing a special volunteer group we're
calling the Gig Commission." Chambers says that group will "augment regular productions with
some special ones, not interfere with the usual fare." He says among proposals are suggestions
for bringing a big name band to Olympia, coordinating special events like the Beaux Arts Ball
and working on other 'happenings' where extra financial or physical support is needed.
Chambers says volunteers will be needed "for all phases of production, including planning,
promotion, decoration, stage setups, etc." Find out more at Wednesday's meeting.

GEODUCK SOCCER SQUAD LOSES TWO
It's been a bad week for the Geoduck soccer squad. The bivalves endured their second loss
of the season November 11 when they were defeated 2-0 by the powerful Whitman Missionaries, who
are currently rated tenth in NAIA polls and tied for first in the Evergreen conference. November 18, the mighty clams evened their series record against Pacific Lutheran University to 1 win,
1 loss, and 1 tie when the Lutes buried them 3-0.
Since the dismissal of coach Ivan Raznevich, the soccer team has been operating under what
players call a "self coordination approach." Jacques Zimicki has assumed responsibility for
leading practice sessions and the entire team of 18 players has been fielded in the past two games.
Season record for the clams stands at 2 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie. Their final game of
the year is tomorrow (November 17) at 1 p.m. at Tacoma Community College.

ODETTA, FOLK SONG "FIRST LADY", APPEARS DECEMBER 1
Odetta, one of the 'first ladies of folk song', will perform in concert at Evergreen
Saturday, December 1, at 8 p.m., as the third artist in the new Evergreen Expressions series.
A contemporary of Joan Baez, Odetta has packed houses all over the world accompanying
herself on guitar and bringing her special brand of musicianship to spirituals, blues,
folk, children's songs and ballads.
"Odetta's been referred to as the most glorious voice in American Folk Music," Richard
Nesbitt, Evergreen arts coordinator for the series,said. "Her art is tied to the very roots
of American culture, especially the sounds of the American Black experience, but she does
everything with lots of heart and soul."
Working to rave reviews around the world, Odetta has captured her audiences with "her
rich, powerfully resonant voice and extraordinary range", and her "special communication
between herself and her audience, who seem to send the emotions she generates back to her."
Odetta will appear at 8 p.m., December 1, in the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building. Tickets go on sale at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, or may be reserved weekdays by
calling 866-6128.
COMPOSERS AND IMPROVISORS BRING NEW JAZZ NOVEMBER 27
Contemporary music composed by Seattle artists will be highlighted in the third Tuesdays
at Eight concert of the year when the 13-piece Composers and Improvisors Orchestra appears
November 27 at Evergreen. Applying unusual instrumentation to original music from the jazz
tradition, the Seattle-based music ensemble performs at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Recital Hall
of Evergreen's Communications Building.
The three-year-old orchestra, formed to provide a forum for Seattle-area creative
musicians, plays under the direction of James Knapp, composer, Cornish Institute Music
Department Co-chairman, and performer on trumpet, flugelhorn and piano.
Described as "one of the most innovative local groups in recent memory", Knapp's orchestra has performed throughout King County in the past 36 months, featuring a variety of
instruments, including viola, cello, French horn, bass clarinet and E^ soprano clarinet, in
addition to the more conventional jazz components of trumpet, sax, trombone, guitar, piano,
bass and drums.
The November 27 Evergreen concert is funded, in part, by the Washington State Arts Commission and co-sponsored by POSSCA (Patrons of South Sound Cultural Arts). Tickets may be
reserved through the Office of College Relations, 866-6128. Tickets go on sale at 7:30 p.m.
November 27 at the door of the Communications Building for $4 general admission and $2.50 for
students and senior citizens.
WOMEN'S AUTHOR SPEAKS MONDAY
Toni Cade Bambara, an actress, teacher and author of numerous political stories offering
positive images of black women in America, will present a free public reading of her works
Monday, November 19, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall Two at Evergreen.
Faculty member Nancy Allen says Bambara, a "powerful, dramatic writer whose stories are
both very political and very positive," is also expected to present excerpts from her forthcoming novel in the Monday evening program.
A graduate of Queens College who also holds a master's degree from City College of
New York, Bambara enriches her writing with her own varied experiences as an actress, an
investigator for the Harlem Welfare Center, an instructor in Newark's New Careers Program,
and as a professor at Rutgers and Duke Universities. She has also served as an artist in
residence at a number of colleges and as a consultant for a variety of women's studies,
third world studies and writers' conferences.
Her Evergreen appearance is sponsored by students and faculty in the "Race Politics in
the Third World" coordinated studies program.
-4CENTRALIA STUDENTS PERFORM NOVEMBER 26
Slapstick abounds in the Seventeenth Century French classic play "The Physician In
f
Spite of Himself" which Centralia College students will perform November 26 at Evergreen.
Written by Moliere and directed by Centralia drama instructor Phillip Wickstrom,
the Monday evening show begins at 8 o'clock in the Experimental Theater of Evergreen's
Communications Building and is one of nine performances the student cast of ten will present
throughout Southwestern Washington.
Packing their own stage, portable light panel, props and costumes, Centralia actors
will double as stage hands to present the Moliere farce that alternates between satirical
verbal attacks on doctors and physical beatings of the characters — reminiscent of silent
movie comedies.
Tickets for the Centralia performance at Evergreen go on sale at 7:30 p.m. November 26
at the door of the Communications Building at $2.50 general admission or $1.50 for students
and senior citizens.
DANCE WORKS IN PROGRESS SET NOVEMBER 29,30
Faculty Dancer Meg Hunt says ten student dancers will present two evening performances
of "Dance Works in Progress" November 29 and 30 in the Recital Hall of the Communications
Building. The shows, which both begin at 8 p.m., are "informal presentations of student
works", says Hunt, and are offered free to interested Evergreeners.
WILDER NAMES CAST FOR DECEMBER PLAY
Nine Evergreen students have been named to the cast of the Fall Quarter production of
"Subject to Fits" slated for evening performances December 7, 8, and 9. Evergreen faculty
dramatist Ainara Wilder says veteran performer Ted Roisum, a Portland student, has been /
cast in the lead role of Prince Myshkin, a Nineteenth Century Russian epileptic who "under-^
goes a nightmarish descent into insanity".
Cast with Roisum in the intense and emotional musical drama are Washington state students
Glenda Gerde of Tumwater, John Mallahan of Bellingham, Robert Richerson of Olympia, and
Mary Schickling of Kirkland. Also cast are Jack Guberman of Chicago, Illinois; Yvonne Howard
of Washington D.C.; Richard Roth, New York City; and Edward Kaye of Montclair, New Jersey.
Their performances, scheduled for 8 p.m. December 7, 8, and 9 in the Experimental
Theater of Evergreen's Communications Building, are "definitely for mature audiences,"
director Wilder points out. "The intensity of this tale makes it inappropriate for children
and we urge parental discretion," she adds.
Tickets may be reserved by calling Evergreen's Office of College Relations, 866-6128,
weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is $3;
students and senior citizens, $2.

OREGON ARTISTS FEATURED IN NEW SHOWS
Oregon artists Christine Bourdette and Robert Wilson will stage a three-week, two-person
show opening November 26 in Gallery 4 of the Evans Library. The show, which continues through
December 12, features a three-stage gallery installation by Bourdette, a Portland artist who
says she'll first "fill the gallery with a bamboo gridwork" which she will construct with
the help of visitors and students from Evergreen's Foundations of Visual Arts academic program.
Once the gridwork is completed, Bourdette will attach bundles of mysterious items to
the structure, then invite visitors to the gallery to unwrap the bundles and "use" their
contents in her display. During the final three days of the exhibit, Bourdette will return
to Evergreen to dismantle her display, one she says is inspired by the bamboo scaffoldings '
used on construction sites she observed during a recent trip to Asia. She and her student
artist assistants will be honored at a public reception December 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. in
Gallery 4.
Also featured in the Gallery 4 exhibition will be color xerox creations by Robert Wilson,
a guest artist for the Portland Arts Festival. Wilson describes his creations as "direct
-5assemblages of found and manipulated objects" which he says represent " a form of alchemy
where base objects are transformed into icons." By creating the icons, Wilson says he tries
to "make visible the profusion of dreams and images which find expression only in this
medium."
ALUMS FEATURED IN GALLERY 2
Two Evergreen graduates who have established their reputations as artists and designers
in the Southern Puget Sound area will display their creations in a new two-person show
opening November 24 in Gallery 2. Alums Tim Girvin of Seattle and Dale Carlson of Tacoma,
will exhibit a variety of two- and three-dimensional works in the display, which remains
on public view through December 12.
Girvin, a designer who specializes in the use of calligraphy, studied with the late
Lloyd Reynolds, an artist considered to be Portland's dean of calligraphy, and has also
taught art in numerous workshops throughout Western Washington since his graduation from
Evergreen in 1975.
Carlson, a 1977 graduate of TESC, owns Carlson Design and Fabrication of Tacoma, and
specializes in graphic, product and installation design. A talented photographer, Carlson
has studied with Nathan Lyons at the Kodak Institute in Rochester, in addition to his arts
studies at Evergreen.
EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
Faculty Member Betty Kutter recently spoke on "The case for caution regarding fetal
implantation and gene therapy" at a joint program funded by the Kentucky Humanities Council
at Murray State University. Sharing the program with her was Dr. LeRoy Walters, director of
Georgetown University's Center for Bioethics, who discussed "The case for freedom of inquiry
regarding in vitro fertilization and embryo transplantation."
Faculty Member Gayle Rothrock-Boyle will moderate a program Saturday on "Women: Making
and Managing Money" sponsored by Pacific First Federal Savings and Loan and the Westwater Inn
The day-long workshop begins at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the Westwater and reservations may be
made by calling 943-4055.
Alum Claudia Brown, a 1975 graduate, will complete her master's degree in broadcast journalism at Boston University next month. She plans to return to the Pacific Northwest soon to
begin work here. Graduate Ed Alkire reports he's working as a certified public accountant
with Touche, Ross and Company, an international accounting and consulting firm in Seattle.
Rita Cooper, director of Employee Relations and Affirmative Action, has been asked by
President Dan Evans to serve as the college's Title Nine Compliance Officer.
Faculty members at the Vancouver-Evergreen campus report they're sponsoring two public
programs this month: one conducted November 6 on "Utopian Thought: Philosophy, Science
Fiction and Shakespeare" which involved professors from Clark College and Portland State
University; and a second on November 27 which will examine "Community Service through
Volunteerism."
Faculty film makers Jan Krawitz and Thomas Ott have produced an award-winning 29-minute
color 16-milimeter film called "Cotton Candy and Elephant Stuff." Their production, which
captures the magic and routine of circus life, has been selected as a "blue ribbon winner" in
the Performing Arts Category of the American Film Festival.
Three Evergreeners have accepted appointments by President Dan Evans to serve on the
Campus Hearing Board. Student Steve Charek joins Cooperative Education Director Barbara Cgolj
and Faculty Member Al Leisenring on the board which is generally called upon two times a year
to adjudicate campus conflicts that cannot be settled at other levels.
And, Cashier Barbara Jarvis recently won an award for her photograph of fishing nets and
a boat featured in a contest sponsored by the Tacoma News Tribune.

As expected, Thurston County drew by far the largest number of students, with some 815
registered, including 670 from Olympia, 77 from Lacey and 34 from Tumwater. King County enrolled the second highest student population, with 287, including 171 students from Seattle,

The brochure, now in its seventh year, lists faculty and staff members with expertise in
fields ranging from nutrition to running, from Afro-American literature to Washington State's
tax system.
Published annually, the free Speakers Bureau Brochure seeks to aid local program chairpersons in planning educational and entertaining activities and to share Evergreen's rich
array of resources with its neighbors. Copies of the brochure are available through the

perspective, will be performed by Black Arts/West at Evergreen on Saturday, November 17 in
the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building. A series of vignettes and monologues
taken from some of the best shows performed during the theater's ten-year history, makes up
the production, the first ever presented in Thurston County by Black Arts' 25-member cast.
The performance, the second in the college's new performing arts series called "Evergreen Expressions," represents "a celebration for us," says Tee Dennard, Black Arts artistic
director. "We have had rich and exciting experiences, both on- and off-stage, and we believe
we've captured some of them in this production."
Tickets

Charles McCann has seen the art of management as few persons have. First as founding
president of the state's only new public college in the twentieth century. Then as a student
in Yale University's prestigious new graduate program in public and private management. Now
as a teacher in an Evergreen upper division program in Management and The Public Interest.
The former Evergreen president will discuss new trends in management studies — as applied
at Yale and at Evergreen — Wednesday, November 14 in a luncheon address sponsored by the
Evergreen College Community Organization, beginning at noon at Arnold's Restaurant on 900
South Capitol Way.
Reservations for the $4.20 luncheon, which features crepes a la Reine, must be made by
November 12 through Evergreen's Office of College Relations, 866-6128.
Calling his talk, "Public and Private Managers: If Not Siblings, At Least First Cousins,'
Dr. McCann says, "the skills required to run a successful private enterprise are increasingly
necessary for the healthy survival of public institutions as well." McCann, who retired
from the Evergreen presidency in 1977, accepted a two-year visiting fellowship at Yale with
the intention of updating his teaching skills after more than 13 years out of the classroom.
NEW ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS
"In the best tradition of an Evergreen faculty member," he says he sought to gain new
academic credentials in business and management studies to complement his degrees and teaching
experience in literature and to better prepare him for "the rigors of interdisciplinary
teaching at Evergreen. I didn't intend to earn another degree," he notes with a grin. "I've
already done that three times." Nonetheless, this spring the Yale School of Organization
and Management awarded him an honorary degree, telling McCann his was "the only honorary
degree that was ever 'earned'."
—2—
Yale's management program is "only three years old," says McCann, "and its atmosphere
and approaches are markedly similar to Evergreen's. The program is ungraded, and its professors stress the importance of working cooperatively in groups," he says. "They
^
encourage students to learn from each other and to develop an awareness of management
studies from more than one perspective."
McCann's November 14 talk is his first public appearance since his return to Evergreen
this fall, where he shares responsibility for teaching an upper division Coordinated
Studies program called Management and The Public Interest. Directed by Dr. Gary Ray_. the
program seeks to "equip students with essential management concepts and skills" and to
"address the growing concern of American business in meeting the public's needs." The twoyear interdisciplinary program combines studies in public and business administration
with finance, government, political economy and organizational psychology.
McCann says his involvement in the MPI program also gives it a "slight taste of Western
civilization" since he finds a few opportunities to apply his literary background to discussions of modern management practices. "Sometimes I just can't resist a good, poetic quote,"
he rotes, "but the students are always quick to point out MPI is not a Western Civ class."
Details on the luncheon are available through Evergreen's Office of College Relations,
866-6128.
RAZNEVICH DISMISSED;
SOCCER TEAM PLAYS ON SUNDAY
Evergreen's Athletic Department has announced the dismissal of soccer coach Ivan
Raznevich effective immediately. Athletic Director Pete Steilberg says Raznevich, who was
hired September 1 to recruit and train the college's first intercollegiate soccer squad,
was dismissed following his repeated violation of orders not to play in intercollegiate
games himself. A search for Raznevich's replacement will begin immediately, says Steilberg.
In the meantime, Evergreen's soccer team, which boasts a record of two wins, one tie
and one loss, will continue to play its scheduled games, including a contest Sunday
/
(November 11) at 11:30 a.m. against Whitman College's Missionaries on Evergreen's campus
playfields.
50 SPEAKERS LISTED FOR PUBLIC TALKS
More than 50 speakers stand ready, willing and prepared to deliver talks and illustrated
lectures on over 100 topics, according to the latest issue of the Speakers Bureau Brochure
published by Evergreen's Office of College Relations.
The brochure, now in its seventh year,
lists faculty and staff members with expertise in fields ranging from nutrition to running,
from Afro-American literature to Washington state's tax system.
Available to public groups at no charge, several of the Evergreen speakers also offer
slide presentations on such subjects as Polynesia, Mayaland, bioethics, alternative energy
development, and life in modern Cuba.
Published annually, the free Speakers Bureau Brochure seeks to aid local program chairpersons in planning educational and entertaining activities and to share Evergreen's rich
array of resources with its neighbors.
Copies of the brochure are available through the Office of College Relations, 866-6128.
CENTER FOR "RETURNING" WOMEN OPENS
Two veteran Evergreen students, who returned to college after nearly 20 years out of the
classroom, have spearheaded a drive to open a center on campus for other women returning to
school. Diane Winslow and Jaxie Farrell say the new office, based in Library 3510, will
strive to meet the needs of some 542 women students over the age of 25 who enrolled at Evergreen this fall.
(
The need for such a center appeared evident last spring when Jaxie conducted an on-cam^as
study of mature women students and found that only portions of their needs were being met by
Counseling Services, the Women's Center and Enrollment Services. "There was no one place
we could go," says Diane. "We weren't sure we were welcome in groups of predominantly
-3younger women. We needed our own space."
Diane has drafted a proposal for eventual full funding of the new office, temporarily
labeled the "Returning Women's Resource Center," which will draw support from Services and
Activities Fees, institutional money and possibly the Evergreen Foundation.
"We hope to establish regular open hours weekdays and two evenings a week beginning
Winter Quarter," she says. "Then we'll begin to tackle a number of projects, including
sponsoring brown bag lunch discussions with faculty speakers, representatives from Evergreen
service units, and women guests from the community who are successfull in their fields."
The new center will also create some special problem-solving groups that will focus on
such issues as single parenthood and childcare networks, health-building activities and,
says Diane, "some good clean fun." In addition, she hopes the center will sponsor at least
one all day retreat per quarter, focusing on such issues as personal energy management,
"quieting the guilts" and handling personal losses caused by death or divorce. Special
events and on-campus film showings will also be on the center's agenda, as will efforts to
recruit more mature women students to Evergreen.
Fall Quarter hours for the new center are, says Diane, "somewhat erratic," but she
invites all interested Evergreen students and staff women to drop by Library 3510 and get
acquainted or to call 866-6080 for more details.
UPCOMING EVENTS
BLACK ARTS TROUPE PERFORMS NOVEMBER 17
"A Decade of Survival," as seen from the Black perspective, will be performed by Black
Arts/West at Evergreen on Saturday, November 17 in the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building. A series of vignettes and monologues, taken from some of the best shows
performed during the theater's ten-year history, makes up the production, the first ever
presented in Thurston County by Black Arts' 25-member cast.
The performance, the second in the new college performing arts series called "Evergreen
Expressions," represents "a celebration for us," says Tee Dennard, Black Arts artistic
director. "We have had rich and exciting experiences, both on- and off-stage, and we
believe we've captured some of them in this production."
Planning for the new season is well under way, Dennard said, " with a new theme, 'The
Dawning of a New Decade'. We're giving special emphasis to presenting quality shows which
utilize all the talent that exists in the Pacific Northwest. Even though the perspective
will be Black, we're drawing talent from Chicano, White, and other, achieving a multi-ethnic
quality, that encourages everybody to participate."
The company became a repertory this year, Dennard continued, and is planning workshops
as part of its effort, as well as a musical next summer. "We lighten up in the summer," he
said, "and find the musical genre the most appealing to our diversified audiences during that
time."
Some of the plays to be presented, all chosen for their contemporary statements about
Black lifestyles, include, "Eden", "Brownsville Raid", "Black Girl", "My Sweet Charlie",
and a new play by Aishah Rahman, "Unfinished Women Cry In No Man's Land While A Bird Dies
In A Gilded Cage."
Two Evergreeners, Joye Hardiman, faculty member, and Chaz McEwan, 1978 graduate, are,
respectively, president of the Black Arts/West Repertory Acting Company and technical
director.
Tickets — at $4 general admission or $2.50 for students and senior citizens — are
available weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in Evergreen's Office of College Relations,
866-6128. Tickets will also be sold at the door of the Communications Building, beginning
at 7 p.m., November 17.
PHILOSOPHER SHARES "JOKES" IN OPEN LECTURE MONDAY
Dr. Ted Cohen, philosophy professor at The University of Chicago, and recognized academic
philosopher/lecturer throughout the United States, will hold an open lecture at Evergreen,
-4-
Monday, November 12, from 10 a.m. to noon in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
Cohen will present his philosophy regarding "Jokes", an urbane, provocative and amusing (
approach to "what makes people laugh, and why." Cohen likens joke telling to "a tantalizing,
but speculative idea that a joke is a work of art" and explores the reasons for human
behavior and need for this form of communication.
"Why do we tell jokes to one another, anyway," Cohen began, " and why should we want
to make others laugh? Why should a joke make somebody laugh, and what's wrong with not
laughing at a joke?" Cohen has an idea that with joke telling, a certain kind of community
is created. He believes a joke serves to establish a kind of intimacy in a very special way.
"The jokes don't force you to be a member of that community," Cohen explaineds "however,
they do make it somehow appropriate to belong. Not at all in the way, say, that an argument
does, which is very compelling."
Cohen says you "take a chance" when you tell a joke, "because you can't compell your
audience to respond as you want, as you can in math." Cohen will "take a chance" with his
audience, to which the public is invited and encouraged to attend, and appear in seminar
and faculty meetings during his three-day stay on campus, as he examines his special subject
and solicits responses.
Cohen is compiling a joke file and would like contributions during his visit to Evergreen, "for which I will give full credit in my lectures", he added. His visit to Evergreen
is funded by a special grant from the Council for Philosophical Studies, supported by the
National Endowment for the Humanities, and titled, "Visiting Philosopher Program: 1979".
WONG EXPLORES SAMPAN PARADISE TUESDAY AT EIGHT
Surrounded by a sea teaming with fish, an island rich in natural, staple food products,
and a nearly endless supply of resources from which to construct homes, generate energy
and make their own clothes, American Samoans have turned to canned and frozen imported
fish, processed staples, concrete and corrugated tin buildings and gas or electric appliak_ds.
These changes — most of them new within the past 25 years — are among those recent Samoan
resident York Wong will discuss November 13 when he launches the 1979-80 Tuesdays at Eight
lecture series at Evergreen.
Fresh from 12 months in American Samoa as an observer and novice fisherman, Wong says
he'll present a 40-minute slide show of the 75-square-mile island territory and its 30,000
inhabitants to complement his discussion on "Samoa: A Different Paradise." His talk, which
begins promptly at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening in the Recital Hall, will focus on the political
and economic changes the island has undergone since the mid-1960's when American industries
began exerting a powerful influence which, he believes, irrevocably altered the nature of
Samoan daily life.
A society once based on Aiga, the extended family, Samoa's economic system was a
reciprocal one, where persons bartered with each other for the goods and services they
required. With the coming of such American industries as Starkist and Van Camp, more and more
Samoans went to work for someone outside their tribal society, thus becoming less and less
a part of that extended family structure. In addition, some 50 percent of the workforce was
hired by the government. Those employers changed Samoa from a natural to a market economy,
drastically altering the way people live — affecting the foods they eat, the clothes they
wear, even the entertainment they enjoy.
As an example, cites Wong, Samoans harvested most of their own foods from the island and
its waters — catching fish, picking taros, breadfruit and bananas, all of which are readily
and freely — available. Now Samoans consume four times more frozen and canned fish than
they catch; they import and consume four times as much rice, flour and potatoes as they
harvest; and they have deserted their traditional native dwellings made of coconut fronds and
local wood for structures of imported concrete and corrugated tin.
"Even the way they cook is different," he says. "Traditionally, Samoans used an open
fire, fueled with free firewood and coconut brush. Now they import gasoline or electric
stoves, right along with Japanese and American clothes, which have replaced those of tapa
cloth Samoans formerly made from pounded bark. Everything's as wash and wear oriented in
Samoa as it is in the states."
-5As assistant academic dean at Evergreen, Wong was born in Hong King and educated in
England before he came to the United States at the age of 14 to begin college. He completed
his bachelor of science degree from the University of Arkansas and his master's degree in
business administration from Columbia University, where he headed that school's Computer
Center, in addition to establishing his own fashion business in New York City. First hired
as the director of computer services at Evergreen in 1973, Wong joined the faculty in 1975,
offering instruction in management, computer sciences and third world studies. His interest
in political economy and third world countries prompted him to apply for the professional
leave that took him and his family to Samoa for their year-long stay.
Once there, he concentrated on studying the island's economy — and on caring for his
children York, 8, and Tara, 4, while his wife, Elaine, worked as assistant editor of the
weekly Samoa news. "I even became a master fisherman," the former New Yorker laughs. I'd
guess I harvested nearly one fourth of our food while we were over there, including a number
of octopuses which I had, literally, to kill with my teeth."
These and other seemingly far fetched tales of Samoa will be elaborated on by Wong
November 13 at Evergreen. Tickets, at $1 each, go on sale at the door of the Communications
Building at 7:30 p.m.
KAOS JAZZ CONCERT BOOKED TUESDAY
Four jazz performances comprise the first KAOS Jazz Marathon concert slated Tuesday,
November 13, beginning at 8 p.m. at Evergreen. The three and a half hour jazz concert,
expected to fill the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building, features music by
an Evergreen group called "Friends," as well as performances by solo pianists John Alkins and
John Scherer, and by banjo player Paul Tinker.
Proceeds from the concert will go toward Evergreen's community radio station, KAOS,
which is in the midst of a ten-day marathon to increase listener enthusiasm and financial
support. Tickets for the jazz concert, at $2.50 each, go on sale at 7:30 p.m., November 13
at the door of the Communications Building.
PATTERSON EXAMINES 'MIDDLE AGE MAP' WEDNESDAY
Approaches to middle age in a culture that doesn't automatically grant prestige to its
maturing population will be explored by Evergreen faculty anthropologist Lynn Patterson
in the concluding Fall Quarter "Piece of My Mind" Series Wednesday, November 14. Patterson's
talk, scheduled to begin at 12:15 p.m. at the First Methodist Church in downtown Olympia,
will explore the question, "how do you know where you are when you don't have a map?" from the
perspective of becoming middle aged in America.
In traditional societies, Patterson points out, shifts in status and roles are "usually
attended to ritually. Prestige, responsibility and breadth of participation in that type of
society usually increase with age. Further, if one obeys the rules, their transformation from
one critical stage in life to another is eased by ritual activity and myths, so individuals
have the support of their culture as they assume new roles."
Modern American culture, however, is one Patterson describes as "sort of a free fall
society" in which transition points in individuals' lives and passages from one status to
another "are as vague as they are varied. This gives us the advantage of being able to
build our lives on the basis of experience, emotion, subjective destiny and personal choice,
rather than, as is the custom in traditional societies, on duty or social obligation,"
she notes.
But, says Patterson, that advantage carries with it some disadvantages. "We sometimes
find ourselves yearning for our culture to acknowledge and support us in a formal or public
way as we grow into middle age, or slip in and out of marriages, or make other major changes,
she says.
Patterson, a faculty anthropologist at Evergreen since 1971 and a former academic dean,
says she'll explore approaches to middle age in American society "in a fairly personal way"
during her Wednesday noon discussion, offering her audience information from her special
interests in shamanism, myth, ritual, visual anthropology and the anthropology of symbolic
communication. Her November 14 talk is cosponsored by the Associated Ministries of Thurston
-6County and the Campus Ministries in cooperation with Evergreen, Saint Martin's College and
Olympia Technical Community College. The
The s>
Olympia
series has been coordinated by Reverend James Sy
of the Community for Christian Celebration.
ns
GENETIC ENGINEERING TOPIC OF WEDNESDAY DEBATE
Ethical and spiritual questions arising from the genetic engineering controversy will be
the subject of a lecture/discussion at Evergreen, Wednesday, November 14. Dr. Elizabeth
Kutter, Evergreen faculty biophysicist and nationally recognized authority on genetic
manipulation, and Reverend James Symons, minister of the Community for Christian Celebration
church, will be joined by Father George Seidel, chairman of the Philosophy Department at
Saint Martin's College, for the free session from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in room 306 of the College
Activities Building.
Participants will discuss the subject of genetic engineering from the perspective of its
moral implications in today's society. "There are those among us who believe that manipulatin
genes to produce, for example, stronger, or smarter people can be a boon to humanity," Symons
explained. "By so doing maybe we can avoid birth defects, mental retardation, and we can
make contributions to the general good," he continued. "But, the difficulty is who has
the right to decide what the next generation will be like? What is a human being? A manmade artifact? Or a God created spirit?"
These and other questions will be examined during the lecture/discussion sponsored by
the Campus Ministry and the ASH Christian Center.
OBRADOR BRINGS NEW SOUNDS TO CAMPUS FRIDAY
Obrador, one of Thurston County's most popular music groups, performs Friday, November 16
at Evergreen. Promising to preview a half dozen new original compositions in addition to .its varied jazz repertoire, Obrador will feature performances on three unusual new instruil ts
in the Friday evening concert, set to begin at 9 o'clock in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
The seven-member musical team plays the atomic, the strumpet and the black box in addition
to bass, guitar, drums, flute, saxophone, clarinet and piano. The atomic, a percussion
instrument, is a homemade addition to the band, as is the strumpet, a small trumpet fixed
with a stretchable surgical tube between its bell and mouthpiece. Also featured will be the
black box, a small electronic sound producer.
Obrador, whose original composition of "Juanita" has been frequently aired this month
over KGY radio, hopes to issue its first album in the next year and then tour the United
States and Europe to promote its release. Performing with the popular jazz band will be
Evergreen graduates Paul Hjelm, on bass and guitar; Olympian Michael Olson on percussion and
conga; Seattleite Jim Donney on drums; New Yorker Tom Russel on flute, saxophones and clarinet
and Olympian Aaron Sonego, serving as sound engineer. Also playing with the band will be
former Evergreen student Manuel Pinson of Los Angeles on saxophone and clarinet; New Yorker
Stephen Luceno on base and guitar; and Olympian Michael Moore on piano.
Advance tickets at $3 each for the November 16 concert are on sale now at Budget Tapes
and Records in Olympia. Tickets will also be available at 7 o'clock Friday evening at the
door of the Communications Building.
SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
Susan Smith, Evergreen librarian and coordinator of Media Services, will be among ten
delegates from the State of Washington attending the national White House Conference on
Library and Information Services November 15-19. Smith says the week of November 15 has b<=>°.n
set aside to "be with a book for a day" in an attempt to involve all citizens in efforts {
expand public awareness of library services and resources.
Smith and two other Thurston County residents (Lacey Mayor Karen Fraser and Washington
State Librarian Rod Swartz) were elected delegates at a state conference last April and are
charged with carrying to Washington D.C. resolutions and recommendations developed and
approved in Olympia.

November 14 at noon at the Portland Hilton, where more than 400 school board members and educators are expected.
She will talk about women's contribution to the development of schools and colleges in
the Western states, one part of her continuing research into the history of professional
women in the Western United States.

...STUDENTS OPEN DRAMATIC SEASON FRIDAY...Evergreen Student Productions opens the 1979-80
season with three performances of Eugene lonesco's "Improvisation or the Shepherd's Chameleon"
November 9, 10 and 11 at Evergreen. The satire, which begins at 8 o'clock Friday, Saturday
and Sunday evenings in the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building, is based on
the famous playwright's own experiences in the Parisian Theater, where the play first opened
in 1956.
Through the brilliantly written farce, lonesco reveals what he thinks would happen
if critics governed the theater. He pokes fun at everyone, himself included, as he opens
the play with a group of critics telling him how to write. One hilarious event leads to
another and culminates in a surprise ending that promises fun for all, especially theater
buffs.
Tickets, at $1.50 each, go on sale at 7 p.m. November 9, 10 and 11 in the Communications Building.
...MOUNTAINEER PRESENTS SHOW OF ANNAPURNA CLIMB MONDAY...Dr. Arlene Blum, leader of the
first all-woman ascent of Annapurna, a 26,300-foot Nepalese mountain, will present a public
slide lecture on her adventure Monday, November 5, at Evergreen. An experienced climber
who has devoted much of the past 16 years to topping mountains throughout the world, Dr.
Blum will present her free evening program, called "Annapurna: A Woman's Place Is On Top,"
beginning at 8 o'clock Monday in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
The all-woman climb of the icy, avalanche-ridden Annapurna in 1978 became the subject
of a National Geographic feature article and set records as the first American ascent
of that peak and as the highest altitude achieved by North American women.
...WOMEN'S FILM CONFAB CONVENES NOV.
Cloninger, Evergreen faculty film maker, will
launch a two-day women's film conference Friday, November 9, when she discusses the art of
cinema in a talk slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building. Cloninger's presentation precedes the weekend showing of more than a
dozen films by women from throughout the United States, plus open projector sessions for
new film makers and a number of Saturday afternoon workshops.

to increase listener enthusiasm and support. Student station staffers say the ten-day
marathon offers "the unique, the exotic and the unexpected" over KAOS's 89.3 FM frequency.
The non-commercial station, partially funded by Evergreen student activities fees, intends
to present an array of live music productions, radio theater programs and recent concert
recordings along with the marathon's familiar phrase, "please pledge us your support."
Since KAOS carries no commercials and is a non-profit corporation, the station relies
on public subscriptions for a substantial portion of its operating budget. In return for
their financial support, subscribers gain not only alternative radio programming, but the
station's monthly program guide and, for $5 more, the chance to don the lastest version of
KAOS's popular T-shirts. Throughout the November 9-18 marathon, listeners will also have
an opportunity to hear their musical requests and possibly win gift certificates. Tune in
to 89.3 FM for ten days of exciting programming.
...EVERGREEN CLOSED NOV. 9...The college will be closed Friday, November 9, in observance
of Veteran's Day.

7ANS ANNOUNCES REORGANIZATION PLAN; BOARD TO REVIEW ON THURSDAY
By Judy Annis, Director, Information Services
President Dan Evans has "flattened" the college's organization chart, dividing administrative, responsibilities among five key administrators who will report directly to him and
changing the formal status of the Personnel and Affirmative Action officers.
In a meeting with some 23 college heads this morning, the President announced he will propose to the Trustees that Dean of Student and Enrollment Services Larry Stenberg begin reporting to him and that a new director of college relations and marketing be recruited and hired to
report directly to him. Those two will join Academic Vice President and Provost Byron Youtz^
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh (whose title will change to Vice President for
Business) and Assistant to the President Les Eldridge (whose title will now include Director
of Community Relations, in addition to Assistant to the President) in reporting directly to
the president, along with an Affirmative Action representative, who will also report to
Personnel Director Rita Cooper (whose title will change to Director of Employment Relations and
Affirmative Action).
The changes, Evans told staff, will "better meet my need to have a broader group to consult
with on a regular basis" and represent a "redistribution of burdens." The president said that
due to the changes the college had undergone in recent months, a number of top administrators
tve "been asked to carry too much, especially in areas having to do with enrollment growth
ctnd recruitment."
"None of these (organizational) changes represents a reduction in responsibility or in
value placed on any administrators," he said. "Instead, this reorganization will make it
easier for us to take on new problems and provide new solutions."
OUTLINES PHASE ONE
Calling his proposal a two-phased process, Evans outlined phase one, which he estimates
will be in effect for up to two years. Pointing out that he believes "we have a generally
excellent staff team," he emphasized that the new proposal will enable the college to work
more effectively toward its major missions: of service to the local and state-wide educational
community, of special service to the state and state government; and of service as an interdisciplinary, collaborative experiment of 1971 that has become a proven educational asset to
the nation in 1979. "We are not and should not be an ordinary college, even if we serve ordinary students," he declared. "Our mission is to make extraordinary graduates out of those
students."
Specifically, Evans said his new organization plan establishes no major changes in the
staff of Academic Vice President and Provost Byron Youtz, except for altering reporting lines
for Graphics, which formerly reported to the library and more recently has been temporarily
assigned to the Office of College Relations.
Responsibilities for Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh, whose title will change
to Vice President for Business, will continue to include supervision of the Business Office,
Computer Services, Facilities, Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics. In addition, Clabaugh
will be assigned direct responsibility for Housing and the Bookstore and will continue to super'se the Personnel Office, to be known as the Office of Employment Relations and Affirmative
Action. A new affirmative action representative will be recruited to fill the position being
vacated by Mary Isabel this month. The Office of Employment Relations and Affirmative Action
will report directly to President Evans on matters affecting Affirmative Action.
CLABAUGH TO ASSUME NEW TASKS
Clabaugh will be asked to immediately assume four major new tasks:

CAMPUS UNITED WAY DRIVE SETS $9,000 GOAL
Evergreen's annual fund raising drive for United Way was launched this week when Personne
Director Rita Cooper and Faculty Member Neils Skov began tapping their peers for contributions
which they hope this year will top more than $9,000.
"We're asking everyone to contribute something," says Cooper. "We're telling them to ,
ignore guidelines and suggestions about amount and just give what they can to the local org[ izations which offer a great deal of support of the Evergreen community."
Cooper says she began visiting offices on campus this week
amd will continue doing so
until she's talked to virtually every staff member on campus. At the same time Skov, who's
cochairing the fund raising campaign with her, says he's sending out letters to all the faculty
enclosing the United Way information, and following up each letter with a personal visit.
The two declare they're not "hard sell," but vow their efforts will bear fruit for a
number of organizations "from which Evergreeners gain a great deal, including the Crisis Clinic
Latchkey, Olympia Childcare Center, Thurston County Health Services, Alcoholic Rehabilitation
Center and both local Y's."

FOUNDATION SEEKS $65,000 IN ANNUAL DRIVE
The Evergreen Foundation began efforts this month to raise $65,000 in this year's annual
fund raising drive, according to Development Director Susan Washburn. New to the drive is the
formation of The President's Club, for "leadership donors" who contribute $1,000 or more.
Washburn happily reports Mary and Bruce Stevenson have become the first members of the new
group, thanks to their $5,000 contribution toward the college scholarship fund.
Ms. Stevenson is a member of the Foundation Board of Governors.
Washburn says she hopes the year's goal will be met through a combination of appeal letter
personal visits and a national phone-a-thon to be conducted in February. "We'll be asking for
lots of help from Evergreeners at that time," she warns. "It should be fun. We'll be calling
all over the country and sharing news of the college while we encourage contributions." She
promises television stations will be set up "so we can keep tabs on the Lake Placid Olympi/
and refreshments will be offered to all volunteer callers.
Contributions to the fund raising efforts will be used for scholarships, faculty and
student research grants, and the President's Contingency fund. This year Washburn says funds
will also be raised for athletics, art acquisitions, and completion of the Seawulff, the
colleges' 38-foot sailing vessel under construction behind the Laboratory Buildings.
EVERGREEN COUNCIL MEETS WEDNESDAY
The Evergreen Council meets Wednesday, beginning at 3 p.m. on the first floor of the
College Activities Building. Among agenda items at the November 7 session is a request from
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh for the Council to review his proposed charge of
a disappearing task force to review "specialized space needs" on campus.
Clabaugh asked the council to inform him of suggestions for additions or modifications to
the charge or the proposed DTP membership as soon as possible so he can ask temporary DTF chairwoman Barbara Smith to call the first meeting. Purpose of the DTF will be to examine campus
space needs for art galleries, the PLATO Computer system and art studios for scripture and
ceramics. He suggested DTF members follow two general guidelines in their deliberations:
their recommendations "should not propose the construction of any new structure on campus,"and
that any proposal they offer "for significant modification of existing space be accompanied by
a statement of impact on current programs and a cost estimate."

ESP OPENS SEASON WITH "IMPROVISATIONS..." FRIDAY
i^lH
Evergreen Student Productions opens the 1979-80 season with three performances of Eugene
lonesco's "Improvisations or The Sheperd's Chameleon" November 9, 10, and 11 at Evergreen. The
satire, which begins at 8 o'clock Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings in the Experimental
Theater of the Communications Building, is based on the famous playwright's own experiences in
the Parisian Theater, where the play first opened in 1956.
Through the brilliantly written farce, lonesco reveals what he thinks would happen if
critics governed the theater. He pokes fun at everyone, himself included, as he opens the play
with a group of critics telling him how to write. One hilarious event leads to another and
culminates in a surprise ending that promises fun for all, especially theater buffs.
The Evergreen production, directed by New York junior Ben Fuchs, stars Thomas Gorski of
New York; Kristi Hedges of Portland, Oregon; Timothy "Digger" Jones of Cleveland, Ohio; Jeffrey
Noyes of Raynham, Massachusetts; and Timothy Streeter of the Panama Canal Zone. Set design for
the Fall Quarter productions are under the direction of Jay Leighton, lighting by Roger Mclntos
costumes by Laura Hogge and stage management by John Palios, all Evergreen students working
under the guidance of Richard Nesbitt, campus arts coordinator.
Tickets for "Imporvisation..." are on sale now for $1 at the Evergreen Bookstore. Tickets
will also be sold for $1.50 at the door of the Communications Building beginning at 7 p.m.

MOUNTAINEER PRESENTS SHOW OF ANNAPURNA CLIMB MONDAY
Dr. Arlene Blum, leader of the first all-woman ascent of Annapurna, a 26,300-foot Nepalese
mountain, will present a public slide lecture on her adventure Monday, November 5, at Evergreen
An experienced climber who has devoted much of the past 16 years to topping mountains throughou
the world, Dr. Blum will present her free evening program, called "Annapurna: A Woman's Place
"s On Top," beginning at 8 o'clock Monday in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.

a National Geographic feature article and set records as the first American ascent of that
peak and as the highest altitude achieved by North American women.
A mountain photographer, writer and marathon runner, Dr. Blum will also discuss her professional life during her visit to Evergreen. As a research faculty chemist at the University

WONG DISCUSSES SAMONAN 'CULTURAL SHOCK'WEDNESDAY
"Cultural Shock in Samoa" will be explored by York Wong in the fifth "Piece of My Mind"
series talk Wednesday, November 7, beginning at 12:15 p.m. at the First Methodist Church in
downtown Olympia. Wong, assistant academic dean at The Evergreen State College, recently returned from a 12-month stay in the tiny island of American Samoa where he and his family observed the impact of U.S. influence on the 30,000 residents who comprise what was once considered a "traditional, reciprocal society."
"Within the past 25 years Samoa has gone from a country where its residents were directed
by family or tribal chief authority and largely lived "off the land," to a nation where more
than 50 percent of the workforce is employed by the government and the rest are working for
large American food processing companies," says Wong. This heavy American influence has "drastically revised the culture in every aspect from the types of foods people consume to the kinds
of clothes they wear, houses they build and appliances they use," he says.
Focusing his free Wednesday noon talk on Samoan changes in religion and extended family
relationships, Wong says his "Piece of My Mind" presentation offers a "brief preview" of a
more detailed discussion of Samoa he'll present
complete with a 40-minute slide show
on the first Tuesdays at Eight lecture at Evergreen November 13, "There are so many exciting
aspects of Samoa to explore," the Evergreen computer scientist explains, "I'll need to devote
more time to the topic
including a look at the economic and political structure of the
American territory and at the whole change in the way its people live their daily lives."
-4Wong's November 7 noon talk is cosponsored by the Associated Ministries of Thurston
County and the Campus Ministries in cooperation with Evergreen, Saint Martin's College and
Olympia Technical Community College. The Fall Quarter series concludes November 14 with a talk
by Evergreen faculty anthropologist Lynn Patterson.

EVANS OUTLINES PROPOSAL (continued from page 1)
structure of exempt administrators; review of the needs for additional on-campus housing; in-/
creased involvement with "the whole range of intercollegiate athletics" and finalization of a^
specific series of college goals and objectives.
Dean of Student and Enrollment Services Larry Stenberg will report directly to Evans in the
new plan. He will retain all of his current functions (Admissions, Registrar, Career Planning
and Placement, Academic Advising, Financial Aid, Health Services, Veterans Affairs and Counseling) and add the additional assignment of Campus Activities, which has been tied directly
to Recreation.
:H|
Les Eldridge, whose title will be changed to include Director of Community Affairs and
Assistant to the President, will continue to direct the offices of Development, Institutional
Research, Alumni Relations and Legislative Liaison. He will also be asked to assume additional
responsibilities as a liaison with state executive agencies as well as provide a focal point
for Evergreen's relations with the community.
New to the reporting lines is the formalizing of the marketing position filled during
the past nine months by Special Assistant to the President Lowell Duke Kuehn. Kuehn plans
to return to the faculty in January. His position, modified and given a new title not yet
finalized, will include supervision of College Relations, Graphics and Educational Outreach,
vBa function assumed during the past six months by consultant Earlyse Swift. President Evans has
asked Cooper to draft a job description for the marketer within the next two weeks "so we can
^^oroceed as rapidly as possible to fill this post."
§
IMPLEMENTED WITHIN CURRENT BUDGET
•K
Evans emphasized that his proposal can be implemented "within current budget constraints"
and that it represents "only phase one." After the new structure has been in place for up to
two years, Evans says, "we will then make a final decision as to where the marketing unit besfr
fits."
VStressing the need for continued coordination between marketing efforts and academic
planning, Evans says he will more formally establish the Public Relations Advisory Group (PRAG)
to ensure a close liaison between academics and marketing. The new group will be chaired by
the new marketing director and will probably include at least one academic dean and the directors of Admissions, Information Services, Institutional Research and Academic Advising. The
president said he was "open to suggestions" on the new group's composition, but stressed he
wanted to keep it a "small, working body that provides a regular basis for interchange between
academics and marketing."
B
"We must," he stressed, "always be sure we produce what we advertise and that we never
advertise what we can't produce. Our external voice must be consistent with our internal
^actions."
;Bi
Following his 20-minute presentation, Evans responded to questions about the proposal.
He assured staffers recruiting for the new marketing position will be open and extended beyond
the campus, adding that "this is a working position, not strictly an administrative one, and
t will require considerable knowledge and skills in marketing of higher education."
Assistant Academic Dean York Wong sought clarification on the role of the Affirmative
Action representative. As Cooper outlined it, the change will enable the new AA representative
:o carry out concrete investigations and to work closely with disappearing hiring task forces.
She said her first new task will be to examine Evergreen's AA goals and timetables and promised
to convene a group to conduct a demographic study for that review as soon as possible. Evans
said he expects the focus of Affirmative Action efforts will shift from response to complaints
and hearings to seeking to insure we respond more actively to needs for recruiting and hiring
more employees within AA guidelines and more students from Third World groups.
£[
Evans concluded the meeting by outlining a number of other, new administrative tasks
Evergreeners will soon have to handle: management of the graduate program, refinement of the
means for planning and operating continuing education, and defining of responsibilities for
outreach programs. He also indicated the future of the President's Council is. not yet
settled and asked for suggestions from staffers as to whether it should continue to meet as a
consultant group, how frequently it should meet, and "if it is viewed as a valuable tool."
Evans said he'll present his proposal to the trustees at their monthly meeting Thursday,
beginning at 10 a.m. in Library 3112. That November 8 meeting is open to all interested
