teams, slated to begin competition next fall.
Athletic Director Pete Steilberg says Nielsen, a social studies and health teacher at Washing

-3TRUSTEES REVIEW ATHLETIC PLAN. HEAR VANDELISM REPORT

I

Reports on Evergreen's intercollegiate athletic program and on vandalism in on-campus housing
dominated the April 17 meeting of the Board of Trustees. Athletic Director Pete Steilberg told
trustees that the fledgling intercollegiate sports program is off to "a good start" despite its
limited funding. Soccer and swimming programs have been successfully initiated this year and
Steilberg said cross country teams for men and women will begin competition next fall, under the
direction of a five-member volunteer coaching staff headed by Olympia High School's Larry Nielsen.
Housing Director Ken Jacob told trustees vandelism in campus residence halls has resulted
in an estimated $3,500 damages. But, he noted, the increased presence of staff and student
security officers, a number of residence hall meetings, and the eviction of six students suspected
of vandalism had helped reduce the amount of destruction occuring. He said only eight or ten
persons were actually responsible for the vandalism and most of them are no longer Evergreen
students.
In other action Thursday, trustees postponed discussion on proposed changes in the college's
sick leave policy for exempt administrators and faculty. That policy will be reconsidered at
their next meeting, set for Thursday, May 8, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112.

..."AN AMATEUR GOES TO CHINA" TUESDAY AT EIGHT...Since the age of seven, Seattle native Jacquelyn Trimble has dreamed of taking "the slow boat to China," a country whose art and culture
magnetically drew her throughout her years growing up near Seattle's port and attending classes
with hundreds of mainland Chinese students at the University of Washington. Last year, thanks
to the U.S.-China Peoples Friendship Association and a bequest from her late mother, the Evergreen library technician got her wish: three weeks spent exploring the land of her dreams.
Trimble will outline her travels in a slide/lecture called "An Amateur Goes to China" Tuesday, April 22, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building.
Cautioning her audience that "I'm far from an expert on China," Trimble says she'll take "a
traditional travelog approach" to telling the tale of her trip from the nation's capitol city
of Peking to the huge territory of Manchuria, from Jilain City where the sight of American
visitors "literally stopped traffic" to Shenyang, Canton and Hong Kong.
Tickets for her talk go on sale at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the door of the Communications
Building for $1.

SPRING QUARTER ENROLLMENT SHOWS 11 PERCENT INCREASE

Early figures for Spring Quarter enrollment show an increase of more than 11 percent over
last spring( Tentative figures show some 2,287 students had completed registration by the tenth
class day this quarter. That total includes 302 new students in addition to 1,934 continuing
full and part-time Evergreeners. Those figures compare to a total count of 2,042 last spring,
which included 1,797 continuing students and 245 newcomers.
'main events' not blitzes
COLLEGE TEAM BEGINS VISITS TO AREA COMMUNITY COLLEGES

The first two of five "main event" visits to community colleges by an Evergreen team of
faculty and administrators were held this week as part of a carefully planned series of information exchanges between Evergreen and the state's two-year schools.
Called "main event" visits this year, the trips take the place of the community college
"blitzes" which last year saw an Evergreen team of up to 50 faculty, staff and students devote
r °. full day each to major presentations at six two-year schools.
This year, the college's
V jrdinating Committee asked Library Associate Dean Dave Carnahan, Academic Dean Barbara Smith
and Admissions Counselor Christine Kerlin to arrange for a series of two visits to each of five
schools
Centralia, Shoreline, Fort Steilacoom, Tacoma, and Seattle Central Community Colleges,
The first visit to Centralia on Wednesday
exemplifies how all the other "main events"
will be staged. Evergreen Academic Deans Smith and Will Humphreys, Faculty Member Charles McCann,
Academic Advisor Larry Eickstaedt and Kerlin devoted their morning to meeting with their professional counterparts in Centralia for extensive talks designed to promote information sharing
between the two schools and explore ways both can better meet common needs. Then all the
Evergreen and Centralia "exchangers" met for lunch in the Twin Cities and discussed ways they
can continue to share information for their mutual benefit.
That visit will be followed on Monday by a team of Evergreen students and Kerlin, who will
stage an Evergreen Information Fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the commun
ity college student center. The fair seeks to provide Lewis County residents with complete details on Evergreen's academic programs, transfer policies and student services.
The two Evergreen trips to Centralia will be followed on April 30 by a visit of Centralia
faculty and staff to Evergreen's Community College Day in Olympia.
This same pattern
two visits to the community college, followed by an invitation for
that school's staff and faculty to come to Evergreen
will be followed today and next Thursday
at Shoreline and throughout the next five weeks at Tacoma, May 9 and 13, Fort Steilacoom, May
14 and 20, and Seattle Central Community College on May 7 and 12.
The main event visits and the Information Fair Days have been planned to provide more
consistent contact with faculty and staff at the community colleges, explains Admissions Director
Arnaldo Rodriguez. "Last year Evergreen made one big splash on the campuses and really caught
the attention of those who happened to be on campus," he says. "This year, we wanted to estab1 '"h more steady contact with each school
visits that are carefully followed up at more than
c ^ level so that our presence is something those schools are constantly aware of, not just on
one day a year." Rodriguez says a similar plan is being developed for visits to key southwestern
Washington high schools for next fall and he hopes both types of programs will become a regular
part of the Evergreen admissions effort.

-2FIRSTGRADUATE CLASS CHOSEN
Forty-five persons have been admitted to the first graduate program in public administratio
which begins next fall at Evergreen. Dr. Guy Adams, co-director of the new master's degree
program, says the 45 were selected from among 100 applicants and all have been notified of tf "r
acceptance and given 60 days in which to respond and submit an enrollment deposit.
Of the 45 new graduate students, 24 are women, 21 are male. Fourteen are graduates of
Evergreen, including one person who completed his degree in the Vancouver Outreach program. Fiv
of the newly admitted students already hold advanced degrees, including one medical doctor, two
with master's degrees in library science, one with a master's in public health, and another with
a master's in urban and regional planning.
Twenty-two of the 45 new students are currently employed in federal, state or local governmental agencies, including six from the Department of Social and Health Services, three from
the Department of Ecology, two from the Department of Transportation, and, notes Adams, "one
from nearly every other state agency," as well as two from the City of Olympia and four from
county-related agencies.
The first graduate class also includes two alumni of the University of Washington and
graduates from the University of Chicago, Pennyslvania State University, Amberst, Mount Holyoke,
Reed and Mills Colleges, the University of Notre Dame, Saint Martin's College, the University
of Puget Sound, and the three regional state universities.
FACULTY HEAD FOR EARLY RETREAT
For the first time in Evergreen's history, faculty members will head off campus for a three
day curriculum planning retreat in early spring
three months ahead of what had become the
routine planning schedule. The retreat, to be held at Fort Warden State Park, begins next
Wednesday and continues through Friday noon.
Work on the 1981-82 curriculum got underway two weeks ago when faculty and students began
meeting within their interdisciplinary specialty areas. That work will provide the basis for
a rough draft faculty and deans will begin reviewing at 2 p.m. Wednesday, along with guidelii?
curriculum planners Barbara Smith and Jeanne Hahn have proposed for the new curriculum.
"This year," says Smith, "we must schedule some new programs to begin Winter and Spring
Quarters to accommodate new students enrolling during those periods." She has asked faculty,
especially those in large coordinated studies programs, to include plans to reduce the number
of teachers assigned to three-quarter programs to better prepare for predicted student attrition
She has suggested that coordinated studies programs which begin in fall with four-member faculty
teams prepare to phase down to three-member teams by spring.
Smith says the faculty also need to plan programs for part-time students, including halftime programs and possibly full-time programs with half-time options. In addition, she and the
deans have asked faculty to consider "special audience programs," like those designed for working students during evening hours. They have also asked faculty to carefully review next year's
curriculum and pinpoint "major tracks" for students and ways to build programs for 1981-82 that
are "reasonably compatible" with the 1980-81 offerings.
The new curriculum will be designed for 2,450 full-time equivalent students, some 150 FTE
higher than was planned for in the 1980-81 curriculum.
When faculty return to campus April 28, Smith hopes they'll have selected which programs
will be offered, set their enrollment levels, and identified program coordinators. By the first
of May the deans will post the curriculum "trial balloon" in several locations throughout the
campus. Reactions and suggestions from all interested Evergreeners will besought before May 14
Final program descriptions will be written by faculty and delivered to the deans by June 1, so
Smith can present the final, proof-read copy to the college editor by June 15.
The 1981-82 edition of the Catalog will be produced during Summer Quarter and available for
students by the first of October, nearly two months earlier than any previous edition.
DEAN FINALISTS' INTERVIEWS UNDERWAY
\s with t

this week and will continue through May 6, according to Academic Vice President and Provost
Byron Youtz.
Selected as finalists are Evergreen faculty economist Dr. Russ Lidman; Dr. Lynne Iglitzin,

-3-

associate director of undergraduate studies at the University of Washington; Dr. Peter Gold,
master of Rachel Carson College of Environmental Studies at the State University of New York
at Buffalo; Dr. John Perkins, associate professor in the Miami University School of Interdis"iplinary Studies in Oxford, Ohio; and Dr. Ed Williams, dean of Johnston Center at the Universit}
f Redlands in California.
The finalists were selected from among 120 candidates by the Senior Dean Screening Disappeai
ing Task Force to fill the post currently held by Academic Dean Barbara Smith. Smith, who has
been primarily responsible for academic budget supervision, support staff> teacher certification,
space allocation and Summer Quarter studies, will next fall assume responsibilities now held by
retiring Dean Will Humphreys, for faculty hiring, graduate school supervision, curriculum planning and possibly off-campus programs.
Interviews this week were conducted with Lidman. Next week Iglitzin will be on campus for
faculty interviews from 3:30-5 p.m. Monday in Library 3112 and for student and staff interviews
Tuesday, from noon to 1:30 p.m. in CAB 108. Gold will be interviewed by the faculty April 28
from 3:30-5 p.m. in Library 3112 and by students and staff April 29, from noon-l:30 p.m. in
CAB 108. Perkins comes to campus for interviews May 1, from 3:30-5 p.m. in Library 3112 with
faculty, and meets with staff and students from noon-l:30 p.m. May 2 in CAB 108. The final
candidate, Williams, will be interviewed by faculty May 5, from 3:30-5 p.m. in Library 3112 and
by students and staff May 6 from noon-l:30 p.m. in CAB 108.
Persons interested in participating in the interview process are encouraged to attend sessions with all five candidates and to prepare written comments for delivery to Assistant Academic
Dean Jeanne Hahn by 9 a.m. May 7.

CULBERTSON SAYS PEOPLE POWER 'A SUCCESS'

National Volunteer Week, designated April 20-26 to honor those who have contributed their
efforts to their local community, gave Evergreen's volunteer coordinator Sue Culbertson a chance
his week to reflect on her efforts to establish People Power, the college's infant Community
volunteer Service Program begun under her direction last fall,
"We've already had a successful year," remarks Culbertson. "We've been able to demonstrate
that Evergreen volunteers can enjoy rewarding, though unpaid, experiences helping those in the
community who most need it
and that this college does contribute to its neighbors in increasingly significant ways."
Culbertson says the Evergreen volunteer program "began slowly and cautiously," involving
hours of interviewing potential volunteer sponsors, updating lists and background data on the
types of placements needed, and explaining the new program to both Evergreen students and offcampus agencies.
Sponsored by the Office of Cooperative Education, People Power has placed more than two
dozen students in a variety of volunteer positions
ranging from those in Juvenile Rehabilitation at the Department of Social and Health Services to Friendly Visitors, a senior citizen outreach effort, to the public schools, where Evergreeners have worked with children on a one-to-one
basis. Volunteers from on and off campus have also contributed their help to the English As A
Second Language program, to local, non-partisan political campaigns, and even to the New Student
Check-In program conducted at Evergreen at the beginning of each quarter.
"We've found this to be a very satisfying effort for both volunteers and clients," Culbertso
adds, "it has given our students a chance to apply their skills^axplore career possibilities
and fulfill their own need to be of service to their community. At the same time, it has helped
local agencies better serve their clients and enriched the lives of all who participated.
Culbertson, an Evergreen junior who brought to her position as volunteer coordinator years
of experience contributing to school programs in the North Thurston District, says People Power
will continue recruiting and placing volunteers throughout Spring Quarter under her direction.
"There are literally hundreds of placements we could fill if we had the time and the volunteers,"
\e says.
She's available to discuss those placements with volunteers or agency representatives from
8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in room 1016 of Laboratory Building One.

upcoming events
EARTH DAY PANEL TO EXPLORE ENVIRONMENTAL DECADE TUESDAY
President Dan Evans will participate in a discussion on the future of the nation's environmental movement Tuesday, April 22, beginning at 12:15 p.m. on the second floor of the Librar{
Building. The discussion commemorates the tenth anniversary of Earth Day and a decade of enviro
mental work dedicated to ecological preservation, education, and other individual and group
efforts to "save and preserve the earth."
Participating in the Tuesday afternoon presentation with Evans will be local environmentali
Flo Brodie of the Nisqually Delta Association, State Representative Mike Kriedler and faculty
members Dr. Carolyn Dobbs, a planner; Dr. David Milne, a biologist, and Dr. Richard Cellarius, a
biophysicist and plant biologist who this week returned from a three-day national conference on
"The Environmental Decade" sponsored by the Conservation Foundation in Colorado.
TRIMBLE SHARES CHINA ADVENTURE TUESDAY
Since the age of seven, Seattle native Jacquelyn Trimble has dreamed of taking "the slow
boat to China," a country whose art and culture magnetically drew her throughout her years
growing up near Seattle's port and attending classes with hundreds of mainland Chinese students
at the University of Washington. Last year, thanks to the U.S.-China Peoples Friendship Associa
tion and a bequest from her late mother, the Evergreen library technician got her wish: three wee
spent exploring the land of her dreams.
Trimble will outline her travels in a slide/lecture called "An Amateur Goes to China,"
Tuesday, April 22, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building.
Cautioning her audience that "I'm far from an expert on China," Trimble says she'll take
"a traditional travelog approach" to telling the tale of her trip from the nation's capitol
city of Peking to the huge territory of Manchuria, from Jilain City where the sight of American
visitors "literally stopped traffic" to Shenyang, Canton and Hong Kong.
With her slides, she'll offer impressions of the Chinese who, she says, "are not all a
serious as we view them." Despite living in what Trimble calls "frugal circumstances," the
Chinese "goof off like the rest of us
they enjoy cards and other games, take two and sometimes three-hour lunch breaks, and maintain an optimistic and hopeful view of the world, which
they believe is centered around China."
The China adventure began for the Evergreen Library technician and published science fictio
writer last May when she flew from Vancouver, British Columbia to Japan and on to Peking "where
we saw the typical tourist sights." Traveling with 20 other Americans in an organized tour led
by two women government-trained Chinese guides, Trimble visited the famous Forbidden City,
Tien-en-Men Square (the site of Mao Tse Tung's tomb), the great wall, the Summer Palace, the
Temple of Heaven, and the Ming tombs.
From there they flew northeast to the cold region of Manchuria, where they visited ChangChun, a major provincial capital, and took trips to the country's third most prestigious university and to a huge palace built by the Japanese and converted into a geological institute. From
Chang-Chun, Trimble's group traveled to "the Disneyland of China," a large amusement park in
Jilain City where they were the first American tourists seen since World War II. "Traffic
literally stopped when we were in public," she reports. While there they saw the nation's first
automobile factory and visited a movie studio. In Jilain City they journeyed to an agricultural
brigade staffed by Korean Chinese and toured hydroelectric projects and schools, and even watched a soccer game before leaving for Shenyang, the national rail center.
Between cities, the Americans traveled by train, except for long distances when air travel
was necessary, as it was when the troupe headed south to Canton, "a complete change of climate
and terrain," that boasted of lovely, tropical botanical gardens. From there they headed for a
brief stop in Hong Kong and returned home, relieved, says Trimble, "that the China I dreamed
was still there."
She invites all interested in vicariously traveling back to China to join her April 22 ar
8 p.m. in Evergreen's Recital Hall. Tickets go on sale at 7 p.m. Tuesday for $1 at the door^
of the Communications Building.
MICHELSEN HEADLINES SATURDAY JAZZ CONCERT
An evening of original jazz music, presented with a classical touch, will be staged

Saturday, April 26 when former student Jerry Michelsen returns to the Evergreen stage for a
premiere performance. Michelsen, an accomplished pianist, composer and producer, promises an
evening show featuring his own piano solos and performances by both a newly formed string quarte
and a "big band jazz group" Saturday night, beginning at 8 o'clock in the Recital Hall.
Now living and performing in Seattle, Michelsen came to Evergreen from Ann Arbor, Michigan
o study classical theory, composition and performance with faculty musician Dr. Robert Gottlieb
«rtio impressed on him "the influence of improvisation on classical music" and rekindled in him
"an urge to compose" that has dominated his life ever since. The young musician also studied
country music at Evergreen with faculty musician Dr. Tom Foote before going on to study at
Seattle's Cornish Institute, where he further developed his interest in composing and in producing his own works.
A former musical director for Olympia's Gnu Deli restaurant, Michelsen in recent months has
devoted his efforts entirely to the April 26 concert, polishing his own compositions and recruiting two new ensembles comprised of local musicians trained in the classics as well as in jazz.
The Saturday show begins with piano solos by Michelsen, followed by piano and drum duos
with Jim Doney and piano and vocal performances with student soprano Marilyn Carlton. The spotlight will then shift to the first appearance by a new string quartet, featuring Evergreen student Bill Johnston on cello, Cornish students Julian Smedley and Matthias Buck on violins, and
Seattle musician Joel Pembroke on viola.
The improvisational concert concludes with performances by a ten-member band featuring
Evergreen students Joe Halajian on alto saxophone and Bud Ruther on tuba, and members of Olympia'
popular "Obrador" band Manuel Pinson on tenor saxophone, Tom Russell on baritone saxophone, Steve
Luceno on bass, and Jim Doney on drums. Other "big band" members include: John Shepherd on
C-melody saxophone, Peter Bernstein on trombone, Robert Haywood on trumpet and drums, and Myra
Melford on piano. Also featured in the finale will be local flutist Sarah Engle, performing
Michelon's "Visions of Merlin" with strings, piano, drums and woodwinds.
Jointly produced by student Mark Chambers and Michelsen, the concert carries an admission
fee of $3. Tickets go on sale at 7 p.m. April 26 at the door of the Communications Building.
HAWAIIAN DANCES. EXOTIC FOODS CELEBRATE ASIAN WEEK SATURDAY

...JIM & JESSE & THE VIRGINIA BOYS PLAY THURSDAY... Jim and Jesse and the Virginia Boys, a five-man
band renown for producing "the most beautiful sounds in bluegrass," comes to the stage at TESC
Thursday, April 17. Veterans of the "Grand Ole Oprey," countless national bluegrass festivals
and highly successful recording sessions, Jim and Jesse McReynolds perform with their three-member
backup team beginning at 8 p.m. Thursday on the second floor of the Evans Library.
The McReynolds Brothers, who first began pickin' and singin" in their Appalachian town of
Coeburn, Virginia in the mid-1940s, have for nearly four decades carried the country and bluegrass
tradition of family bands across the nation, earning a reputation for "fabulous harmony blends
and brilliant instrumental work."
Jim, the tall, handsome elder brother, blends his "superb, clear and beautiful tenor" voice
to "polished, penetrating cross-picked mandolin performances" by Jesse, who has become the "most
technically advanced bluegrass mandolin player in the country," according to bluegrass historian
Bob Artis. Backed by The Virginia Boys, a veteran musical team called "the smoothest and most
professional band in bluegrass," the brothers have straddled the musical fence between country and
bluegrass. Their Thursday night concert promises to reveal what historian Artis calls ''the tremendous gifts these two gentlemen from Virginia have brought to bluegrass." Tickets are on sale now
at $5 general admission or $3 for students and senior citizens from Yenney Music, Budget Tapes
and Records, Rainy Day Records and the Evergreen Bookstore.
.( AZZ QUINTET PERFORMS WEDNESDAY...Internationally acclaimed jazz quintet, Art Lande and Rubisa
Patrol perform in concert Wednesday, April 16, beginning at 8:30 p.m. in Evergreen's Recital Hall.
Presented by community radio station, KAOS, the quintet offers music that moves spontaneously from
original compositions to free improvisation and standard jazz tunes.
Lande, a piano master, combines talents with Mark Isham, who plays trumpet, fluegal horn,
saxophone and synthesizer; Bruce Williams, on saxophone, clarinet and flute; Bill Douglas on bass
and flute; and Kurt Wortman, on drums and percussion. The five enrich their performances with
a variety of duos, trios and solos. They also often add a taste of theater, poetry, mime and
vaudeville buffoonery to their evening shows.
Advance tickets to the Wednesday concert are on sale now for $5 at the Evergreen Bookstore,
Rainy Day Records, and Budget Tapes and Records in Olympia. Tickets will also be sold for $6
each beginning at 7:30 p.m. April 16 at the door of the Communications Building. KAOS radio subscribers may purchase advance or at-the-door tickets for $4.
...ALEXANDER TELLS OF "SOJOURN TO JAPAN" TUESDAY AT EIGHT...The Americanization of Japan, so often
referred to in this country, is reflected in styles of clothing and popular music and in the
abundance of television sets and automobiles. But, says Dr. Richard Alexander, an Evergreen
faculty member who recently returned from six months in that island nation, "the American influence
is a very superficial one
one that has not truly affected the heart of Japanese culture."
Dr. Alexander, who has spent years studying Japanese culture, will share reflections on his
"Sojourn to Japan" in a public lecture Tuesday, April 15, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall.
Sent to Japan as an exchange professor in English at Kobe university of Commerce, Alexander
says living in a typical Japanese neighborhood not frequented by other foreigners gave him clear
insight into the country which has absorbed his attention from afar for many years. "I had the
opportunity to get a genuine sense of the culture," he says. "I taught Japanese students, worked

Dr. Alexander's Tuesdays at Eight talk, which will include slides of his visits to the Shinto
shrines, carries a $1 admission fee. His talk will be followed on April 22 with a presentation
called "An Amateur Goes to China," a slide/lecture presented by Evergreen library technician
Jaccie Trimble about her recent excursion to People's Republic of China.

UNUSUAL ARRAY OF MUSICAL PERFORMANCES BOOKED THIS WEEK

Never before in Evergreen's history can anyone remember a musical week like the one that begins this Sunday. For five nights running concerts are scheduled offering everything from the
latest in jazz and acoustic music to classical guitarists. andVir.ginia-style bluegrass. Gig Commission Coordinator Mark Chambers, through whom production clearance reports for all campus events
must be cleared, just grins when he looks at the schedule. "Sure seems like there's something
there for everyone this week," he notes. "We've never had anything like it."
ACOUSTIC CONCERT SET SUNDAY
Launching the week Sunday night will be three Pacific Northwest ensembles, who will stage a
benefit concert of acoustic music at 7 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
The concert opens to the music of Amethyst Galleon, a duo comprised of Evergreen students Nancy
Curtis and Tom Berglund, who promise a variety of music ranging from contemporary folk to "neomedieval" instrumenfals and ballads. A newly formed group, Quintessence, then takes the stage to
present highly reviewed harpist Rita Sammon, an Evergreen alum, performing with students Mary
Miller on bass and mezzo bass, Bill Johnston on cello, Dan Dissault on guitar and flute, and
Warren Ashford on tabla and other percussion instruments.
Concluding the Sunday night concert will be a performance by Ebbanflo, a popular Maple Valley
twosome who feature a blend of classical, folk and jazz styles in original compositions for guitar,
voice and recorder. Tickets to the April 13 show go on sale at 6 p.m. Sunday at the door of the
Communications Building for $3.50 general admission or $2.50 for KAOS FM radio subscribers.
CLASSICAL GUITARISTS PERFORM MONDAY
Fresh from performances throughout Europe, Canada and the United States, Seattle classical
guitarists Steven Novacek and Gary Bissiri appear for one performance only Monday night, beginning
at 8 o'clock in the Recital Hall. Highlighting their performance with their own transcriptions of
classical works, Novacek and Bissiri offer what one Seattle critic calls "rare and special...
evocative and passionate" concerts which provide "an example of the way music can enhanced by
transcription." The two professionals, who own the Rosewood Guitar Company in Seattle and conduct
master classes throughout the King County area, have spent years together in intensive study with
prominent guitar virtuoso and recording artist Vincenzo Macalous, who labels their work "assertive
and exciting...impressive because of the scope and originality of their own transcriptions." Tickets for their concert go on sale at 7 p.m. Monday at the door of the Communications Building for
$3 general admission or $2 for students and senior citizens.
"CASH" OPENS TUESDAY
Music, dance and art will be featured in a 90-minute student production opening Tuesday night
in the Experimental Theater. Called "Cash: Collaborators for the Advancement of the Soul and
Heart," the production begins at 8 p.m. Tuesday and features original work written, directed and
produced by students Charles Tarzian, Jeffrey Morgan and Stephan Gallira. The show, which continues Wednesday and Thursday nights, represents a collaborative effort among students studying
performing and visual arts at Evergreen. Tickets go on sale at 7 p.m. April 15, 16 and 17 at the
door of the Communications Building for $3 general admission or $2 for students and senior citizens .
JAZZ CONCERT WEDNESDAY WITH LANDE AND RUBISA PATROL
Internationally acclaimed jazz quintet, Art Lande and Rubisa Patrol perform in concert Wednesday, beginning at 8:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall. Presented by campus radio KAOS FM the quintet
offers music that moves spontaneously from original compositions to free improvization and standard jazz tunes. The five-member band, headed by pianist Art Lande, has toured Europe three
times, drawing wide acclaim in nine countries at major festivals, concert halls, clubs and radio
stations.

Lande, piano master, combines talents with Mark Isham, who plays trumpet, fluegal horn, saxophone and synthesizer; Bruce Williams on saxophone, clarinet and flute; Bill Douglas on bass
and flute; and Kurt Wortman, on drums and percussion. The quintet^which draws from both the history of jazz and traditions in Oriental, Indian and Middle Eastern music for their repertoire,
enrich their concerts with a variety of duos, trios and solos. They also often add a taste of
theater, poetry, mime and vaudeville buffoonery to their productions.
/
Advance tickets are on sale now for $5 at the Bookstore. They will be sold for $6 beginning
at 7:30 p.m. April 16 at the door of the Communieations Building. KAOS radio subscribers may
purchase tickets for $4.
BLUEGRASS CONCERT TOPS WEEK.. WITH JIM & JESSE & THE VIRGINIA BOYS
The musical week concludes Thursday with a thigh-thumping concert featuring Jim and Jesse
and the Virginia Boys, a five-man band renown for producing "the most beautiful sounds in bluegrass." Veterans of the "Grand Ole Oprey," countless national bluegrass festivals and highly
successful recording sessions, Jim and Jesse McReynolds perform with their three-member backup
team beginning at 8 p.m. Thursday on the second floor of the Evans Library.
The McReynolds Brothers, who first began pickin' and singin' in their Appalachian town of
Coeburn, Virginia in the mid-1940s, have for nearly four decades carried the country and bluegrass tradition of family bands across the nation, earning a reputation for "fabulous harmony
blends and brilliant instrumental work."
Jim, the tall, handsome elder brother, blends his "superb, clear and beautiful tenor" voice
to "polished, penetrating cross-picked mandolin performances" by Jesse
who has become the "most
technically advanced bluegrass mandolin player in the country," according to bluegrass historian
Bob Artis. Backed by The Virginia Boys, a veteran musical team called "the smoothest and most
professional band in bluegrass," the brothers have straddled the musical fence between country
and bluegrass, producing records in each style on Columbia and Capitol labels.
Advance tickets are on sale now at $5 general admission or $3 for students and senior citizen
from Yenney Music, Budget Tapes and Records, Rainy Day Records and the Bookstore,
TRUSTEES CONVENE THURSDAY
The college Board of Trustees faces three public hearings, policy discussions on two majc{
issues, and some minor action items at the regular monthly meeting Thursday, beginning at 10:30
a.m. in Library 3112.
Public hearings are slated for 11 a.m. to consider approval of policies regarding exit inter
views, parking regulations and compensation for sick leave for exempt employees. Policy discussions will follow on development of intercollegiate athletic programs with Athletic Director Pete
Steilberg, and on utilization of the Communications Building and other campus facilities with
Acting Vice President for Business Rita Cooper.
Thursday's meeting is also expected to see action on revision of the internal campus sick
leave policy and on review of budget and housing rental rates. In addition, President Dan Evans
is expected to present reports on admission statistics, budget and other items of interest to the
five-member board.
SENIOR ARTIST NOMINATED FOR HUGO AWARD
Evergreen senior Victoria Poyser was notified last week of her nomination for a Hugo Award,
one of five worldwide, in the amateur artist category, which is for those who work in the science
fiction field but do not earn a full-time living from book and magazine illustration. Final
award winners in the art categories, as well as those for novels, stories, films and magazines,
will be announced August, 1980 at the 6,000-member world science fiction convention in Boston.
Poyser, a transfer student from Central, says, "Hugos are the 'Oscars' of the science
fiction field. Publishers love it when a book gets a Hugo because sales jump immediately. And
since science fiction represents about half the paperback publishing industry, the amounts involved can be substantial." "Of course," she laughs, "they don't pay as much attention to amateu
artists. But then, most winners of the professional artist Hugo also won in the amateur category
early in their careers," points out the determined mother of two small children.
/
Poyser entered Evergreen in the summer of 1976 and her individual contract with Marilyn
Frasca that quarter proved highly successful, she says. "Marilyn had me write fiction and
poetry to generate image ideas for paintings. I did that with 'Mirror into Ascarinda,' a small
watercolor which won a prize at a major show in Boston and sold for $460 at auction."
Poyser then went on leave after her first show in March 1978 to devote more time to art. She
exhibited at several dozen shows, did about 100 illustrations and won numerous awards, including

She returned to Evergreen this quarter 1980 to finish her degree. "I only lack 28 credits,"
she says. "And besides, for all its faults, Evergreen at is best can't be beat. I doubt if I
could go to school anywhere else and do what I'm doing now."
advance warning issued
"THIRSTY COUNTY" TOPIC OF "DAS KAPITAL MALL" MUSICAL (?) SLATED FOR SUPER SATURDAY

!

Evergreen's own special playwright, musical librarian Malcolm Stilson this week issued a
strong warning to all geoducks: plan now to avoid the main lobby of the Evans Library at 2 and
8 p.m. on Super Saturday June 7. Otherwise, warns Stilson, you'll be subjected to yet another
Stilson original: the story of Thirsty County and its towis of Olympus, Slumwater and Lazy as they
adjust to the influence of "Das Kapital Mall."
Billed as "a farce with music," thp show will be presented by what Stilson calls the "Geoduck
Readers and Singers (?) Theater" for two free performances guaranteed to give all residents of
Thirsty County a fresh look at their environs.
The play is the latest in a long run of Stilson productions which began with "The Founding
of Jolly College Where Learning Can Be Fun," produced in December of 1969. At least annually
since then, Stilson has applied his wit, his composer's pencil and his piano keyboard to such near
hits as "The Last Yippie," "The Computer Revolt," "Sir Lunchalot," "Malice in Blunderland,"
"Achilles the Heel" and "Cloud Koo-Koo U." Buried among that roster of Evergreen witticisms was
one very special musical production called "Mercer's Harem" staged in 1973* enrichrd with
truly memorable music, the play brought to the library stage the story of the Mercer Girls who
left the East Coast in the 1870s to travel 'round the horn and settle in Seattle where they hoped
to find husbands in what was then considered the wild wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. That
play is one of five serious musicals Stilson has created over the past several years and may yet
provide the vehicle for him to win fame and fortune.
"I'm always working on a musical comedy," explains Stilson. "Some day I'm gonna sell one
and retire to devote myself to my fourth career
as a successful composer and playwright."
Stilson joined the Evergreen team in September of 1969 as a library consultant. After
three months working in the "damp, moldy, dark and dingy" north warehouse of the Olympia Brewery,
sorting, selecting and cataloging Evergreen library materials, he was officially hired by Library
Dean Jim Holly in January of 1970 and has been here ever since, serving as both the "father figure''
of the campus library and as the college's resident musical playwright.
His latest production, which he estimates has absorbed about 30 minutes a day for the pasi18 to 24 months, promises his usually star-studded cast of Geoduck hams: Les Eldridge, Jaccie
Trimble, Oscar Soule, Phoebe Walker, Lynn Patterson, and Joe Rice. Others in
the Stilson
troupe will include at least Ruth Palmerlee, Richard Nesbitt and Sally Cloninger, with more
performers yet to be selected.
Mark June 7 on your calendars now for two reasons: to be sure you don't miss Super Saturday
and its host of events; and to be certain that you're fully prepared for Stilson's whimsical look
at Thirsty County and Das Kapitol Mall.

ALEXANDER SHARES 'REFLECTIONS ON JAPAN' TUESDAY
The Americanization of Japan, so often referred to in this country, is reflected in styles of
clothing and popular music and in the abundance of television sets and automobiles. But, says
Dr. Richard Alexander, an Evergreen faculty member who recently returned from six months in that
island nation, "the American influence is a very superficial one
one that has not truly affect
ed the heart of Japanese culture."
Dr. Alexander, who has spent years studying Japanese culture, will share reflections on his
"Sojourn in Japan" in a public lecture Tuesday, April 15, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall.
Sent to Japan as an exchange professor in English at Kobe University of Commerce, Alexander
says living in a typical Japanese neighborhood not frequented by other foreigners gave him clear
insight into the country which has absorbed his attention from afar for many years. "I had the
opportunity to get a genuine sense of the culture," he says. "I taught Japanese students, worked
closely with Japanese professors and scrupulously avoided contact with other foreigners."
MODERN, NON-WESTERN SOCIETY
What he found confirmed his own beliefs
that while Japan is a very modern society, "it is
not a western society." "The supposed Americanization of Japan," he says, "is very superficial.
The real culture
reflected by the way persons behave and by the attitudes and expectations?
they maintain
±s intensively Japanese, altered very little by American influences."
Alexander, a 6-foot 4-inch redhead, says while his appearance "drew constant comment" from
the Japanese, he found he was warmly welcomed everywhere and he was able to develop lasting friend
ships on his first visit there. He traveled extensively, both alone and with his two young sons,
frequently visiting the sites of Shinto shrines, the centuries old architectural tributes to
Japan's national folk religion. His travels gave him the chance to enjoy such traditional Japanes

experiences as public bathing and sleeping on the floor
both of which he became addicted to.
He was also able to explore Japanese attitudes on everything from proper social interaction
("marked by obsessive concern for politeness and obligation") to the use of cars.
.
Alexander's exchange professorship, which ended in September, will be followed next fall by a
( dlar visit to Evergreen by Kobe University's Dr. Seichi Katayama, who will teach economics for
two quarters. Dr. Katayama's visit is in addition to the six-month stay of Dr. Hiroshi Yoshida.
now serving a visiting Fulbright lecturership on the Evergreen faculty.
Dr. Alexander's Tuesdays at Eight talk, which will include slides of his visits to the Shinto
shrines, carries a $1 admission fee. Tickets go on sale at 7:30 p.m. April 15 at the door of
the Communications Building.
VISITOR TO LECTURE ON "REDISCOVERING WOMEN" WEDNESDAY

Mary Elizabeth Murdock, director of one of the country's finest collections of primary sources
in women's history, literature and biographies, will discuss "Adventures in Rediscovering Women"
in a free public lecture Wednesday, April 16 at Evergreen. Ms. Murdock, who heads the Sophia Smiti
Collection at Smith College in North Hampton, Massachusetts will speak from 10 a.m. to noon in
room 3407 of the Library and will have available for public examination a variety of documents and
other works from the collection.
Her free public presentation is sponsored by "Literary Women," an Evergreen academic program
taught by faculty members Nancy Allen and Sandra Simon.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT INFORMATION SOUGHT
The National Advisory Council on Women's Educational Programs is conducting an on-going
project to examine ways in which the Federal government can and should assist in protecting students from being sexually harassed by faculty, staff or other employees of secondary and postsecondary education institutions. As part of that study, the Council is requesting information
from former and present victims about their experiences, and from any others who may have know1 ge of such harassment.
Responses need not provide any data which might identify the respondent, but should describe
the type of harassment involved, the institutional and academic setting in which the incident(s)
took place, any institutional or other action on the matter if the incident was reported, and the
eventual outcome. The Council hopes to conclude this phase of the project by May, 1980, and asks
that responses be submitted before then. The Evergreen Women's Center will compile a report with
the Council. Interested women are invited to contact the center if they would like to contribute
to the report. Stop by Library 3216 or call 866-6162.
RECREATIONAL ACTIVITES ABOUND

A full schedule of recreational sports activities will come to campus this spring, according
to Jan Lambertz, assistant director of recreation and athletic programs. She reports upcoming
activities will include volleyball, softball, water polo and flag football games; tennis, table
tennis, racketball and horseshoe pitching tournaments; plus open gym nights, just-for-fun swim
meets, distance runs and sailing workshops.
Lambertz says a full schedule of events will be off the presses by the first of the week and

- 6-

simple mixers, set dances and others beginning at 7 p.m. in the Olympia ballroom of the former
Olympian Hotel. The Evergreen professor's enthusiasm for that facility has led him and others
to organize a "grand opening and benefit" Saturday, April 19, beginning with a free open house from
noon to 5 p.m. and followed by a formal evening program from 7 o'clock to midnight. The ballrr' t,
formerly known as the Jade Room, was the scene of many dances, banquets and other activities iL
Olympia during its 60-year history. It closed in 1975 when the former Hotel Olympian was sold and
converted into an apartment building. Now the room has been "saved and converted" by a non-profit
corporation and will be made available for rental to a variety of local groups. Al urges Evergreeners to stop by for the open house, and stay for the evening program, which will feature performances of ethnic music and dance, and conclude with old-time couple dancing and international
folk dancing. For details, call 943-9803.
A pen and ink drawing by Evergreen student Marion Bricksen has been selected by the Graduation
Committee for use in 1980 and future commencement programs. Library media coordinator and
faculty member Susan Smith is serving as a member of the National Library Week State Committee,
which is promoting use of libraries next week as "America's greatest bargain." The committee.will
continue to work year around to better inform residents on library resources.
Staff changes are also in the news this week. New to the Evergreen team recently are:
Mary Huston-Miyamoto, assistant reference librarian and faculty member; Victor Moore, accounting
assistant' Steve Trotter, retail clerk in the Bookstore; Elizabeth Conrad, and Elsie Wagner, telephone operators in Facilities; Karen Rawnsley, accountant, Kort Jungel, half-time mail carrier;
Bonnie Loan, program assistant in academics, David Vineberg, custodian; and Daniel Lowe, accounting supervisor.
Resignations have been accepted from Karen Adams, mag tape typist operator in Word Processing
Cliff High, scientific stores attendant; LaVelle Zimmerman, accounting assistant in payroll;
Sandra Ginter, telephone services operator in Facilities,
Betty Jack, program assistant in
the Port Angeles campus, and Phyllis Kovaks, data entry operator and office assistant in Computer
Services.
Returning to Evergreen after an early retirement is Bea Rockwell, former head of payroll,
who has joined the staff as a temporary accountant. Two Evergreeners have been on medical
(
leave. Personnel representative Judy Johnson is still in St. Peter Hospital receiving treatment
for injuries suffered in an automobile accident last month. Though Judy's early prognosis looked
as though she'd be sent home within hours of the accident, doctors now indicate she may have a
much more extensive recovery. Pearl Vincent, secretary to Provost Byron Youtz, is home recovering
from inner ear surgery, and is expected back on the job within the next week or two.

ALUM RYALS REPORTS SHE'S "SOMEWHAT FAMOUS"
Evergreen graduate Sharon Ryals reports she's "not yet rich but has become somewhat famous."
She's been hired as the editor of The Briarpatch Review, a quarterly journal of the Briarpatch
network, an international association of friends in business dedicated to what it calls "right
livelihood " ("simple living and honest business"). Sharon is also special projects coordinator
and an editor for Woman's Choice, a monthly magazine designed to "advance and enhance a mode of
communication which is intuitive, circular, experiential, and inductive rather than linear, ration
al and deductive."
Sharon says her education at Evergreen, the Briarpatch Network and Woman's Choice have several things in common. "They all focus on the quality of our communication and learning processes.
It is not just the project we end up with that is important," she writes, "it is who we have become, how we think, and what we have learned along the way. There is an independence of spirit
in all three (organizations),a willingness to improvise and make your own way, as well as a sense
of community and a joy in openly sharing our knowledge and resources so we all get better at th^
art of living."
(
Wondering what she could report to her alma mater that would be impressive, Ryals asks,
"don't you think you can condense a line or two out of this letter that will make me look like
the typically impressive Evergreen Alumnus that I believe myself to be?" Indeed we can.

...CIRQUE PRESENTS PORTLAND DANCE TROUPE APRIL 12...Six performers from Cirque bring their
brand new production to Evergreen Saturday, April 12 for one performance only, at 8 p.m., in the
Experimental Theater of the Communications Building. Formerly known as the Portland Dance
Theater, Cirque premiered "Pontpoint" last month in four Oregon weekend performances that attract
ed full houses and reviews which called the show "weird, wild, individualistic, powerful and
always interesting."
"Pontpoint" (the bridge between) features the choreography of Cirque founder and teacher
Jann McCauley, music by composer Gordon Mumma, and unusual set designs by Robert Reichers and
Peter West. Portland dancers Vincent Martinez, Bonnie Merrill, Hilarie Neely, Judy Patton and
Pat Wheeler Robinson join McCauley on stage to perform the four sections of "Pontpoint:" "Black
Cats and 7 Arrows," "Rain Dances," "Canole," and "The Cirque Waltz."
Their performance, reports one Portland critic, combines "strange background sounds, perhaps music, and a set or ropes, trapezes and nets with some fantastic dancing" that "may have
looked and sounded strange but was very well received by the audience."
Presented as part of the Evergreen Expressions performing arts series, the Cirque presentation has been made possible in part by grants from POSSCA (Patrons of South Sound Cultural
Arts), the National Endowment for the Arts, and others. Tickets may be reserved by calling
866-6070 weekdays during regular working hours. Tickets go on sale at 1 p.m. April 12 at the
door of the Communications Building for $4 general admission or $2.50 for students and senior
Citizens.
..TUESDAYS AT EIGHT OPENS WITH FIDDLER, CONCERTINIST APRIL 8...A champion fiddler and a master of a century-old concertina headline the first Tuesdays at Eight concert Spring Quarter on
April 8 at Evergreen. Fiddler Frank Ferrel, who has won awards for his musical mastery throughout the West Coast and Canada, comes to campus with his partner, Dr. Bertram Levy, a concertinist of unparalleled skill, to present an evening concert of reels, jigs, waltzes and other
traditional folk and country music favorites Tuesday, beginning at 8 o'clock in the Recital
Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building.
Two two Port Townsend musicians, who recently released their first album for Centrum Records, offer their interpretation of folk music, using what reviewers have described as a "well
designed, hand-crafted, chamber music approach. Appearing at Evergreen for the first time,
the two men launch a series of four April Tuesdays at Eight programs. Their performance,
which carries a $3 admission charge or a $2 fee for students and senior citizens, will be followed on April 15 by Dr. Richard Alexander's discussion on his recent six-month "Sojourn In
Japan."
...SUPER SATURDAY ENTERTAINERS, ARTISTS, VENDORS SOUGHT...More than three dozen professional,
amateur and student musical groups have already signed on to perform on one of four stages
offering eight hours of continuous entertainment at Super Saturday, the second annual spring
festival slated June 7 at The Evergreen State College. Cosponsored by the Olympia-Area and
Lacey Chambers of Commerce, the free, day-long festival has also attracted more than a dozen
artists and craftsmen who will demonstrate, exhibit and/or sell their creations on the central
campus plaza between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Super Saturday. Food vendors, promising to provide
everything from a salmon barbecue to hot dogs, ethnic dishes to health foods, have also enlisted to sell their wares at the spring celebration which last year attracted more than 4,000
jrsons to the Evergreen campus.
With only nine weeks before Super Saturday dawns, there's still time for more entertainers,
musicians, artists and food vendors to register ToFThe"festival. Interested persons are invited to call the Office of College Relations (866-6128) for complete details on how to participate in Super Saturday, 1980.

'real crunch' may come next year
STATE BUDGET CUTBACK HITS EQUIPMENT RESERVE
The Office of Financial Management last month ordered all state agencies to continue to
hold reserves at three percent of their operating budgets for the remaining four quarters of
the biennium. In a notice sent to all agency directors, OFM said Governor Ray had released the
three percent reserve for the first three quarters of the 1979-80 fiscal year. But, "the instability of the national economy, particularly inflation related factors, compel the use of
caution in future periods," according to OFM Director Lyle Jacobsen. "Consequently, the three
percent reserve for the last four quarters of the (1979-81) biennium will not be released for
expenditure at this time."
Jacobsen also warned agencies that "the severity of federal actions to stabilize national
economy may preclude the release of the remaining three percent reserve funds any time this
biennium."
Evergreen's Budget Officer Mike Bigelow says the impact of the OFM order "is less than it
might have been because we planned for just this type of action and had already set the money
aside." Bigelow says last fall college administrators elected to take the entire three percent
biennial budget reserve ($669,900) from the 1980-81 budget, to avoid impacting operating monies
por this year.
Of that $669,900, $299,900 was taken from 1980-81 operating funds and $372,000
«ras taken from the equipment replacement budget.
The new OFM order releases $334,950 for college use. Bigelow says from that the college
will place $299,900 back in operating funds for next year. The remainder
a modest $37,050
will be also available for purchase of new equipment. The other 3 percent, which OFM says
must remain in reserve, will all be taken from equipment reserves. "This move most lisappoints
:hose who were counting on new equipment purchases in the next several months," Bf.gelow notes.
"Computer Services, the Library, Facilities and Graphics were hoping to replace outdated equipment
as were several other units in the college. If OFM and the Governor decide later this
year to release those reserves, we might still be able to obtain some new equipment."
Bigelow says the real crunch will more likely be felt in the next biennium. "Next time
this kind of action will probably affect operating budgets and therefore have a more keenly felt
impact on college programs," he says. "But Evergreen is in a unique position compared to the
other state institutions, so the impact on us may not be as severe." Because Evergreen has been
ordered by the legislature to grow, Bigelow explains, "we should be in a better position than
those schools which are simply maintaining their current enrollment."
"Obviously," he adds, "we can't continue to grow if our budget shrinks. So we think our
budget may be protected by our mandate to double the enrollment over the next twobiennia."
MORE THAN 60 APPLYING FOR VP
More than 60 applications have already been submitted for the position of Vice President
for Business, a post vacated by the death of Dean Clabaugh February 9 and filled on an acting
basis by Rita Cooper. Applications for the post will be accepted until April 30, when a 12member committee will begin the screening process under Cooper's direction. The committee hopes
i finalist will be selected later this spring and assume the position by July 1.
WHOLE FOODS WEEK GENERATES CHANGES AT SAGA
No matter how you slice it, Evergreen's Whole Foods Service Week was a success. The fiveday test conducted in late February to see if customers would support an alternative food ser-

vice
one that avoided fried foods and carbonated beverages and reduced levels of sugar,
salt, fats and preservatives
attracted more consumers, sold more goods, gained higher ratings
and substantiated demands for continued alternatives to traditional, institutional food services,
according to Kristi Morrish, an Evergreen consultant hired to work with students and staff on
improving campus food service.
^K2;
Using the U.S. Dietary Goals as guidelines, Morrish and a Foods Advisory Group worked with
Saga Food Service manager Vonda Drogmund to revise recipes and menus and provide foods that were
of low fat, low sugar, low salt and high fiber content but retained consumer appeal.
"We produced a healthy, balanced menu using an intermediate approach between those of health
foods faddists and junk food addicts," says Morrish. "Responses we received throughout the week
were almost entirely positive and evaluations submitted afterward indicated strong support for
continuation of many of our new approaches."
Morrish says the success of Whole Foods Week can be measured in several ways: by the number
of customers, the amount of food sold, and the evaluations submitted. "Nearly 800 more persons
ate at Saga during Whole Foods Week than dined there the two weeks before or the week immediately
after our experiment," she says. "In fact, more customers ate there that week than at any other
time during all of Winter Quarter."
The experiment, says Morrish, represented a financial risk for Saga Foods, which was not abl
to predict the impact the changes might have at the cash register. "Customers spent an average
of $3.81 each during the week, an amount substantially higher than expended during any other
time this quarter," Morrish points out.
But, the real proof of success, she says, came from evaluation questionnaires returned the
week after the event. "We compared these comments with those gathered during a similar survey
during Fall Quarter," she explains. "In every single category, consumer satisfaction was far
higher." For example, the number of persons rating the nutritional quality of food services as
"good" rose from 17 percent Fall Quarter to 74 percent during Whole Foods Week. Those rating
the taste of foods as "good" rose more than 40 percent
from 16 percent in the fall to 57
percent after Whole Foods Week.
"Good" ratings in the five other major areas polled
price, convenience, service, variety
and atmosphere
were also all substantially higher following Whole Foods Week than they we/
in the fall, Morrish reports.
Results of the survey just finalized have led Housing and Food Services Director Ken Jacob
to extend Morrish's consultant contract through Spring Quarter so she can oversee permanent
implementation of successful changes and share information on the project with other institutional food operations.
"We want to work the successful recipes and menus into our regular four-week menu cycle in
Food Services," says Jacob. "We also want to add a variety of ethnic foods into the menu and to
organize and stage a major Third World Food Festival some time during Spring Quarter."
Among the changes Jacob and Morrish believe have or will soon become a permanent part of
the Evergreen foods operation are continuation of the extensive self service salad bar, avoidance of canned and processed foods, elimination of "old standbys" like jello salads that were
not popular, and continued introduction of new popular entrees, such as burritos, falafels and
crepes, which sold out on the days they were served.
Food Services will also continue to provide more vegetarian dishes, to serve more wholegrain breads and fresh bakery items, to substitute honey for sugar, and to offer more fresh, raw
fruits rather than desserts of high sugar content. The Snack Bar will continue to sell whole
baked potatoes and bean and cheese burritos, and to maintain popular, nutritional favorites like
hamburgers on whole-grain buns, natural apple cider and heated bagels.
In addition, herbal iced tea, natural fruit juices and other uncarbonated and caffeine-free
drinks will be sold along with the highly popular "smoothies," a banana-orange-yogart shake first
sold during the February experiment.
To better inform consumers of changes in the food operation, signs will be posted listing
ingredients for every food item and food alternative seminars will be offered for both customers
and staff.
Morrish says her work will continue beyond Spring Quarter, carried on by the-Food Serviq
Advisory Group, which will serve as a link between food services and consumers, and possibly fcj
a new student coordinator who will assume responsibilities she has carried as a facilitator
between food personnel and the advisory group.

WERGREENERS URC

TO PARTICIPATE IN SUPER SATURDAY

More than three dozen professional, amateur and student musical groups have already signed
on to perform on one of four stages offering eight hours of continuous free entertainment at
jper Saturday, the second annual spring festival slated June 7 at Evergreen.
Cosponsored by the Olympia-Area and Lacey Chambers of Commerce, the free, day-long festival
has also attracted more than a dozen artists and craftsmen who will demonstrate, exhibit and/or
sell their creations on the central campus plaza between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Super Saturday.
Food vendors, promising to provide everything from salmon barbeque to hot dogs, ethnic
dishes to health foods, have also enlisted to sell their wares at the spring celebration which
last year attracted more than 4,000 persons to campus.
But, committee members point out, only a few Evergreen student, faculty and staff groups
have registered to participate. "With only nine weeks before Super Saturday dawns, we earnestly
hope more Evergreeners will plan to take part," says committee cochairwoman Judy McNickle. "We'd
really like to see Evergreen performers on those stages, Evergreen artists displaying their
creations, and Evergreen chefs providing tasty tidbits."
"It's a chance to show the community the varied talents we possess on campus," McNickle
adds. "Those talents obviously include academic works that merit public display and we're counting on faculty and students to offer exhibits demonstrating the kinds of high quality instruction
al activities that go on here."
The committee urges all Greeners scheduling events for the end of the quarter to consider
"how best to complement, not compete with" plans for Super Saturday. "We estimate we'll attract
up to 10,000 folks here this time," adds cochairman Larry Stenberg. "If we all work together
scheduling our activities jointly and sharing publicity and organizational planning, we can
better guarantee everyone a good return on their efforts."
Persons interested in performing, showing their art works, selling foods or otherwise participating in Super Saturday are urged to contact the committee before April 15 through the Office
of College Relations (Library 3114). Those interested may also attend Super Saturday meetings
held every Friday from 3 to 4:30 or 5 p.m. in Library 3112.

CIRQUE PRESENTS PORTLAND DANCE TROUPE APRIL 12

Six performers from Cirque bring their brand new production of "Pontpoint" to Evergreen
Saturday, April 12 for one performance only, at 8 p.m. in the Experimental Theater of the
Communications Building. Formerly known as the Portland Dance Theater, Cirque premiered
"Pontpoint" last month in four Oregon weekend performances that attracted full houses and reviews
which called the show "weird, wild, individualistic, powerful and always interesting."
"Pontpoint" (the bridge between) features the choreography of Cirque founder and teacher
Jann McCauley, music by composer Gordon Mumma, and unusual set designs by Robert Reichers and
Peter West. Portland dancers Vincent Martinez, Bonnie Merrill, Hilarie Neely, Judy Patton and
Pat Wheeler Robinson join McCauley on stage to perform the four sections of "Pontpoint:" "Black
Cats and 7 Arrows," "Rain Dances," "Canole," and "The Cirque Waltz."
Their performance, reports one Portland critic, combines "strange background sounds, perhaps
music, and a set of ropes, trapezes and nets with some fantastic dancing" that "may have looked
and sounded strange but was very well received by the audience."
McCauley, called a "force in modern dance who must be seen to be appreciated," cofounded
the Portland Dance Theater in 1970 and reorganized the troupe last year as Cirque. Imagery for
her newest show has been derived, says McCauley, from two main sources, both of which are implied
in the name of the company: a cirque or steep-walled amphitheatric recess in a mountain; and
a circus. McCauley's choreography collects and arranges these images, drawing from traditions
of both dance and theater.
Set designs for "Pontpoint" also draw from the two meanings of Cirque and use rope ladders,
tent and the illusion of a net to define performance space. Each scene is changed through
-tnipulation of the set components: what appears to be a net in one scene becomes a tent in
another; a tent becomes the circus fat lady; rope ladders become a bridge.
Composer Mumma, who formerly served as a visiting faculty musician at Evergreen, currently
teaches at the University of California at Santa Cruz. Three of his pieces for "Pontpoint"

-4are original scores composed for Cirque. He composed the fourth, "Music for the Venezia Space
Theater," in 1964 for the 27th International Festival for Contemporary Music held in Italy. All
of his music employs a variety of ordinary sounds, including recordings from a train yard, a
handball court, and a brass band, plus electronic music and the sounds of such unusual instru
ments as the psalter and bandoneon. In some sections, music includes materials written by
McCauley and spoken by the performers.
Presented as part of the Evergreen Expressions performing arts series, the Cirque presentation has been made possible in part by grants from POSSCA (Patrons of South Sound Cultural Arts)
the National Endowment for the Arts, the Oregon Arts Commission, the Templeton Foundation and
Meryvn's. Tickets may be reserved by calling 866-6070 weekdays during regular working hours.
Tickets go on sale at 7 p.m. April 12 at the door of the Communications Building for $4 general
admission or $2.50 for students and senior citizens.
FIDDLER. CONCERTINIST OPEN TUESDAYS AT EIGHT
A champion fiddler and a master of a century-old concertina headline the first Tuesdays at
Eight concert Spring Quarter on April 8 at Evergreen. Fiddler Frank Ferrel, who has won awards
for his musical mastery throughout the West Coast and Canada, comes to campus with his partner,
Dr. Bertram Levy, a concertinist of unparalleled skill,to present an evening concert of reels,
jigs, waltzes and other traditional folk and country music favorites Tuesday, beginning at
8 o'clock in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building.
The two Port Townsend musicians, who recently released their first album for Centrum Record
offer their interpretation of folk music, using what reviewers have described as a "well-designe
hand-crafted chamber music approach."
Ferrel, a 25-year-veteran of the music business, holds fiddler championships from Washington State, Western Regionals, Northwest Regionals and British Columbia competitions. His
mastery of the fiddle and bow has earned him a reputation as a "magical performer whose music
is smooth and lilting, capable of creating visions of green fields that fill the room."
Levy, a physician and part-time boat builder, wields his 100-year-old Anglo concertina /"' t
"charm and skill" that critics say is especially suited to not only his own compositions, wu .1
the two Peninsula residents perform, but to folk music from Canadian and New England traditions.
Appearing at Evergreen for the first time, the two men will open the Spring Quarter Tuesday
at Eight series. Their performance, which carries a $3 admission charge or a $2 fee for student
and senior citizens, will be followed on April 15 by Dr. Richard Alexander's discussion on his
recent six-month sojourn in Japan.
WSU WOODWIND QUINTET PERFORMS MONDAY
The Solstice Quintet, a faculty woodwind ensemble in residence at Washington State ,'Universit
combines talents with pianist Erik Barnes for an evening performance of classical music Monday,
April 7, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
The Evergreen performance is part of a week-long series of Solstice appearances in western
Washington the first part of April. The quintet's tour includes concerts and clinics at high
schools and colleges, and two other evening recitals: one Sunday, April 6, at the Eastshore
Unitarian Church in Bellevue; and a second on Tuesday, April 8, at the Seattle Concert Theater.
Highlighting all three evening appearances will be Erik Barnes' performance of a hauntingly
enigmatic sextet for piano written by Gordon Jacobs. Other works included in the evening programs are the light and comical "Quintette" by Jean Francaix and the "Blaser Quintet in E Flat,
Opus 88 No. 2" by Anton Beicha, a composer regarded as the father of the woodwind quintet.
Solstice Quintet members, all faculty at WSU, include flutist Frances Risbon, oboist
Barbara Cantlon, clarinetist James Schoepflin, bassonist John Reid, and hornist Verne Windham.
Tickets for their Evergreen appearance go on sale at 7 p.m. April 7 at the door of the
Communications Building and cost $3 general admission or $2 for students and senior citizen^

.EGISLATIVE MEMO VOLUME VI NO. 9
LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS WITHOUT PASSING SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President

At midnight, March 13, the Legislature deadlocked on the budget, ostensibly over the question of 1%% faculty salary increases versus 1.8 million dollars for excess community college
enrollment. The supplemental budget, including items agreed upon by each house, was, therefore,
not considered, and was lost. Undisputed items previously approved by each house, and lost by
failure to pass the budget included: Evergreen's $416,000 roof repair appropriation, a $57,000
sundry claim for Evergreen court costs, and $108,000 for 50 additional students for the 1980-81
academic year. Also lost in office of Financial Management's belated claims section was a
several thousand dollar item for Evergreen.
This was the first year since 1973 that the Senate's version of the budget has not, to some
degree, prevailed over that of the House. Observers noted that, although the faculty salary
issue was the apparent reason for the deadlock, the question of political strength became perhaps more important than the issue itself. Both House caucuses, Republican and Democrat, refused
to budge from their position that faculty salary increases of 1%% (authorized but unfunded last
year) should be funded for this year. Co-speakers Bagnariol and Berentson refused to agree to
a Senate demand to remove faculty salaries and to insert in their place a 1.8 million dollar
appropriation for community college enrollment beyond contracted level. Senator Hubert Donahue,
Ways and Means Chairman, had vehemently opposed the House appropriation for faculty salaries.
A flurry of bills passed in the waning hours of the session placed many bills on the
yvernor's desk for her review after the Legislature had adjourned. After the Governor's
decisions have been made, I'll summarize the results of legislation pertaining to higher education in an April legislative memo.

-6BOOKEY AWARDED FIRST COOLEY SCHOLARSHIP

I

Linda Ruth Bookey, a Bellevue senior at Evergreen, has been selected to receive the first
Carleton Morris Cooley Scholarship for the 1980-81 academic year. The $500 scholarship is
awarded annually to "an academically outstanding senior in English-related studies who has be(
involved in student government."
Bookey graduated in the top three percent of her Bellevue High School class where she participated in Honor Society, the French Club, the school's remodeling committee and its Committee
for Alternative Learning Program. Since her enrollment at Evergreen in the fall of 1976, Bookey
has been involved in campus governance, serving on both the Sounding Board and the Evergreen
Council. In addition, she has worked with the Women's Center and the Women's Health Action
