ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM BEGINS FALL QUARTER
1

Filmmaker Bruce Baillie and veteran Broadway actress Dale ~soules will visit the Evergreen
campus next year as part of a new artist-in-residence program, according to Academic Dea~ Barbara
Smith. The new program, which begins in September, was recommeryded last y~ar by ~xpress1ve Arts
faculty "to give students a chance to work for a full quarter w1th profess1onals 1n several
fields," says Dr. Smith.
Arrangements have been completed for Fall and Winter Quarter artists-in~residence and
negotiations are underway for Spring Quarter.
Baillie, who founded the independent filmmakers• cooperative Canyon Cinema in 1961, will
offer a full-time program for 20 film students Fall Quarter. He earned a bachelors degree from
the University of Minnesota in 1955, studied at the London School of Film Technique 19.59-60, .
and received an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1971. He has taught at the Mendoc1no
Art Center in California, at Rice University i'n Texas, and was artist-in-residence at Bard College
in New York from 1974 to 1977. He has held print purchases, showings and lectures at major
museums in New York City, Montreal, Tokyo and Stockholm. Baillie has received Guggenheim, America!
Film Institute and Rockefeller Foundation fellowships, and has won the San Francisco International
m Festival Golden Gate Award, the Ann Arbor Grand Prize and the Moholy Nagy Award.
Baillie's Fall Quarter filmmaking program will be open to students who have taken the Evergreen program "Recording and Structuring Light and Sound" or its equivalent. Currently living in
Elizaville, New York, he will arrive on campus before fall registration to review portfolios and
interview students. Those who wish to be considered for the program should contact the Registrar.
Visiting artist for Winter Quarter will be Soules, an actress with extensive theater experience, including Broadway productions of Hair and The Magic Show. At the age of 14, she was working as a technician in New York's off-Broadway theaters, in addition to studying acting at the
H.B. Studio. She has worked as a sound technician, property mistress, assistant director and
stage manager, and has had roles in dozens of stage and film productions. She co-starred as Cal,
the magician's assistant, in the four-year Broadway run of The ~agic Show, and subsequently
appear:d in off-Broadway productions of New Jerusalem, GettTng ~. and The Family. She's had
roles 1n several New York Shakespeare Festival and Manhattan Theater Club productions, and has
appeared on the Today Show with Barbara Walters, the Mike Douglas Show, the Dick Cavett Show, and
many others. She also played the title role and served as associate producer for the award-winnin~
film The ~ Lady.
Students in Soules• Winter Quarter program will receive an intensive introduction to pro~
fessional theater and will create an original theater piece to be performed at the close of the
quarter. Students who have completed "Foundations of Performing Arts" or its equivalent may
preregister for the program, but retention is dependent on an interview with Dale Soules during ~
the January 3 Academic Fair. The program is expected to fill up quickly.

-PAPWORTH:

"SORRY' BUT IT Is A BEAR"

Phone calls poured into Evergreen Tuesday morning as reporters from across the country tried
to track down Evergreen faculty anthropologist Dr. Mark Papworth, who was anonomously referred to
in local news releases as one of those investigatingrthe possibilty that footprints from the
legendary Sasquatch had been discovered in the southeastern portion of Thurston County near the
headwaters of the Deschutes River.
"\~e must have had more than 50 phone calls," Papworth reported Wednesday.
"I •ve ta 1ked to
reporters from Florida, Oregon, California and all across the state. I was even on television
last night." In that televised interview, Papworth had to, he says, "tell the truth." "The
tracks were made by bears--- probably a big bear stepping into tracks made by a smaller bear. "
"I hated to tell 'em," Papworth observes. "Everyone was having so much fun with the story."
It all carne about when a Weyerhauser employee found tracks near Alder Lake. The prints were
a foot 1ong, six inches wide and very deep. Thurston County Sheriff •s Lt. Neil f'1cCl ana han (an
t
Evergreen alum) called Papworth early Monday morning to investigate. "We went up there and
•
checked out the tracks and I told 'em on the spot I thought they were made by bears," he says.
But by then the stor·y had already gone out on national wire services and the calls had begun to
pour in.
"It was all a fabrication," Papworth laughs. "We very thoroughly checked out the footp
took casts and studied them on campus." Disappointing as the results are for Sasquatch fans,
Papworth still insists "thefootprints were made by bears."
. "'
The Evergreen faculty member says during the past seven years he's served as a forensic
anthropologist for the Sherrif's Office, helping to identify bones and investigating "all kinds
of weird stuff." He enjoys the task, he notes, "even when I get so many phone ca 11 s my secretari e
stop talking to me."
KAOS STAFFERS FILE SUIT
Two veteran staffers of KAOS FM, the campus/community radio station, have filed a libel suit
against reporter Bill Montague of the Cooper Point Journal. Toni Holm, a 1978 graduate, and
David Rauh, '79, have filed the charges as a result of an artTC'i"e Montague wrote in the ~~ay 14 ~
CPJ alleg1ng "mismanagement by the staff of KAOS radio."

CIRCUS OPENS ON CAMPUS WEDNESDAY
A traditional, European-style one-ring circus comes to Thurston County for five perfo
s
next week. The circus, especially designed for family audiences, appears at 8 p.m. June 3, 4,
and 5 in the Experimental Theater and again during afternoon performances set for 1 and 4 0 •cloc~
on Super Saturday, June 6, outside near the Evans Library.
Jugglers, tight-wire artists, puppets, clowns, acrobats, magicians and unicyclists will ~~
alternately fill the one-ring show, accompanied by live European folk music and heralded by
.~
ringmaster/magician Scott Jamieson, a veteran Evergreen student performer.
The shows are the result of months of preparation by a team of more than 30 adult, student
and child performers, and years of fascination with the 11 art of the circus 11 by Evergreen senior
Catherine (Penny) McNeff, who has designed and directed the circus as her graduation project.
A former muralist who completed major works in both Seattle and Portland, McNeff says all of her
early art included illustrations of clowns. When she came to Evergreen, she enrolled in a
Chautauqua performing arts academic program and quickly became intrigued with the Italian art of
11
COmedia. 11 She began seriously to study the history and traditions of clowns and of the circus,
and discovered that historically the circus has served as a means of transferring cultural mythology.
~
She chose to create for her final academic project a traditional one-ring circus because,
she says, 11 it recognizes the complex art forms, which are often overlooked or undervalued in our
American three-ring circuses where chaos tends to overshadow art. 11
Her Evergreen circus, which has involved construction of a show ring, design and creation
of dozens of costumes, and countless hours of volunteer labor by students and community supporters, features the antics of ten local children, clad in original creature costumes, who will
comprise an animal parade. Music for the circus will be provided by student musicians Sharon ~
Berman on accordian, Joan Rayburn on violin and Christopher Kunkel on flute.
The evening shows June 3, 4 and 5 cost $2; admission to the Super Saturday afternoon performances on June 6 is free. Advance tickets are on sale now at Budget Tapes and Records, Ra
Day Records in Olympia, and the Evergreen Bookstore.

NSF SHOREBIRD/PESTICIDE STUDY RESULTS EXPLAINED THURSDAY

The types and amounts of pesticide residues found in shorebird populations analyzed from ~·
four study sites in western Washington will be discussed in a slide/talk by members of a six- ~
student Evergreen team Thursday, June 4, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall Three.
Funded by an $11,700 student originated studies grant from the National Science Foundation,
the students sought to determine the population of wintering shorebirds, primarily the dunlin,
their food habits, movement patterns and behavior, and their relationships to two species of
wintering falcons which prey upon them.
With the guidance of faculty ecologist Dr. Steven Herman, students studied and collected
shorebird and falcon data from study areas at Bowerman Basin in Grays Harbor; Kennedy Creek, five
miles west of campus; Nisqually Delta; and Samish Bay south of Bellingham. They found residues
of chlorinated hydrocarbon contaminants in shorebirds from all four sites. By combining knowledg1
of pesticide levels in the shorebirds with information on the feeding habits of the falcons that
eat the shorebirds, the students will now be able to estimate the impact of contaminant loads
on the falcons, including the endangered Peregrine Falcon. In addition, the researchers have
gained much additional information about the distribution of several contaminants in western
~
Washington estuaries.
·~
Their June 4 presentation will offer to the public an analysis of the data and a full ex- ~
planation of the year-long study. Students involved in the work include: Project Director
~,
..
Anna Cahall, Lenny Brennan, Joe Buchanan, Mike Finger, Tod Johnson, and Terr~ Schick.
Admission to their Thursday night presentation, at which refreshments w1ll be served, is
free and open to the public.

Wini Ingram Honored
BOARD APPROVES NEW TUITION RATE, DELAYS JUNE MEETING
Evergreen's Board of Trustees for the first time in college history last week chose to confer
the title of Emeritus Member of the Faculty, .. unanimously awarding the honor to Dr. Wini Ing;a~,
who is slated to retire in June. Board members also adopted a new, legislatively-mandated tu1t1on
and fee level for Summer Quarter which, for the first time, eliminates special rates for campus
employees. Meeting on campus May 14, trustees also agreed to delay by two weeks their June meeting to allow campus administrators additional time to finalize the 1981-82 budget and prepare revised goals and objectives for the new fiscal year.
Dr. Ingram, who joined the teaching team in September of 1972, was honored by the unanimous
adoption of a resolution recognizing her .. nine years of outstanding service to Evergreen and her
prior years of service to the national higher education community as teacher, colleague, critic,
guide and friend ... Presentation of her emeritus title will be awarded during the June 7 graduation exercises.
11

EMPLOYEES LOSE SPECIAL RATE
The tuition rate change raises the per quarter hour cost for up to ten hours to $29 for under
graduates and $33 for graduates. Ten or more quarter hours cost the full tuition and fee amount
of $289 for undergrads and $332 for graduates. · No out-of-state rate will be levied Summer Quarter. But, for campus employees who have enjoyed for the past two years a two-third reduction in
part-time tuition rates, the new fees schedule comes as a bit of a shock. The loss of the special
rates, explains Budget Officer Mike Bigelow, is due to legislative action which .. mandates that
part-time fees be proportiona 1 t'Oful 1-time rates.
Trustees devoted much of their Thursday session to gaining a preview of the college budget
picture for the next year. They asked administrators to bring with them to the June meeting a
complete document, with revised goals and objectives as well as the final fiscal plan. Administra
tors have met twice this week to pare down requests that amounted to 1.3 million dollars more than
the amount available for allocation. Bigelow said in an interview Hednesday the process .. seems
more difficult than we expected and will require more time to complete ... He now expects he and
the president's cabinet to meet again today to fine tune budget proposals which will be taken to
President Dan Evans for review next week and presented to the budget unit heads some time during
the first week of June.
In other action last week, trustees approved new titles for two campus staffers: Pete
Steilberg was named the Director of Recreation and Leisure Education while Jan Lambertz-secame
Director of Athletics. Both titles are effective immediately. Steilberg was also asked to assume
the title of executive director of the Unsoeld Resource Center.

Eight years ago John Vasquez started work as a laborer for the Aluminum Company of America

A USEABLE EDUCATION ..

Vasquez beaan his higher education career at Clark College in 1975. He quickly discovered
he 11 just wasn't the engineer type 11 and branched into studies of business and manaaement. After
completing his Associate of Arts dearee, he chose to enroll in Evergreen's management program,
because, he says, 11 it offers
the kind of useable education I want. 11 The 31-year-old former
11
Californian says he was tired of sitting in classes, memorizina materials and making lists. I
wanted a more personal education ...
Now a full-time student in addition to working full-time at Alcoa. Vasquez says he devotes
a lot of time to writing, to expressing his own ideas and to 11 livino with the materials and
developing the sub.iect through a variety of sources ...
A COMPULSIVE, COMMUTING STUDENT
Mrs. Ruhland~ who drives to the Vancouver campus from Kelso twice a week, says after she
finished two years at Lower Columbia College in Lonaview she wanted to keep goinq for her
bachelor's degree. Active in community work, her church and her homelife with two teenaaers
her husband, Louis, she's found the Evergreen-Vancouver campus 11 a terrific place for women li
me who've been out of school for a while.
11
I am a compulsive student, .. she explains. 11 1 want to get a lot out of it so I give a lot.
I don't have a lot of time to spare and Evergreen's schedule seems perfectlv geared to my kind
of life. 11
Enrolled in 11 Conmunication, 11 t·1rs. Ruhland has found she really likes to write, to explore
topics in depth. 11 I love the seminars, .. she adds. 11 1 wish they were six hours lonq instead of
two ... She's considering transferring to Fvergreen•s Olympia campus next year to get .. a bit

HAD TO ADJUST TO EVALUATIONS
For Platt, the Evergreen orogram was selected .. because it's convenient. It's close to
home and the classes are scheduled at convenient times, .. says the 25-year-old who is among the
youngest in his academic program. Like ~ks. Ruhland and Vasquez, Platt has two years of communi
college experience gained at Victory Valley in California. Last fall he decided he needed to
get started on management studies.. The first auarter I had some real ad.iustments ... he readily

to accept Evergreen's system of evaluations in place of grades.
Now I love it ... he adds. ~~~1y evaluations will tell future emplovers or graduate schools
more about my strengths and weaknesses than any grade point average ...
The evaluation system also concerned Mrs. Ruhland, who says she's now discovered ''the onl_y
pressure is to compete with myself. 'which seems perfectly suited to my style of learning ...
Vasquez believes the experiences he and the other two have shared .. are the same for mas
us in the Vancouver program. We've enjoyed the personal type of education. and we've come away
with a lot more than a traditional institution might have offered. Our evaluations demonstrate
not only what we've studied, but what kind of oersons we are ...
Platt laughs when he thinks about his initial imoressions of the Everareen-Vancouver camous .

WHITE HOUSE

~~URDER

CASE" OPENS THURSDAY

Evergreen will present Jules Feiffer's "The

~Jhite

House Murder Case" in the final dramatic

-4-

production of the academic year May 28-31 in the Experimental Theater of the Communications Build
ing.
Alternating between the Oval Office anrl an occupied mountain pass outside Motto Grosso,
Brazil, the play demonstrates Feiffer•s art of applying ruthless satire to entangle the accidenta
deployment of an experimental and toxic nerve gas with the murder of the First Lady. Set just
days before the national elections, the drama focuses on attempts by confounded White House
cabinet members to concoct credible explantions for both the mass slaughter of their own forces
in South America and the death of the President•s wife in the Hhite House.
Offering an uproarious yet hard-hitting appraisal of U.S. government in modern times, the
play is Feiffer•s first. Best known fnr his satirical skill as a cartoonist, he has succeeded
in creating a continuous flurry of short~ fast-paced vignettes enriched by what cast members call
an extravaganza of special effects .. ranging from battle scenes to capitol city power "tr1Jggles.
Evergreen arts coordinator anrl adjunct faculty member Richard Nesbitt directs the play which
stars a ten-member cast led by students Jeff Nlyes as President Hale, Amber Lunch as hi" wife,
and theater technician Peter \•laldron as Genera Pratt. The cast also includes: Bill Livingston,
Steve Smith, Randy Dole: Bob Richerson, Craig Corbett-Smith, A~y Fowkes and Dan TTmCO.
The White House Murder Case 11 formally opens at 8 p.m. Thursrlay. ~1ay 28, and continues each
evening through Sunday, May 31. Tickets cost $3 general or $2 for students and senior citizens.

1.3 million dollar gap
BUDGET HEADS PONDER SURPLUS OF REQUESTS, SHORTAGE OF RESOURCES
Budget administrators have their work cut out for them in the next few days. After meeting
all day Tuesday and early Thursday in open hearings , they discovered a 1.3 million dollar gap
between the amount unit heads have requested and the amount available for the 1981-82 operating
budget. That gap, says Budget Officer Mike Bigelow, will have to be closed in meetings Monday
with President Dan Evans .
The budget-shortfall, Bigelow explained in an interview Wednesday, can best be outlined by
examining the amount of money available for allocation for the 1981-82 year. The state leqislawre
appropriated $26,726,600 to Evergreen for the biennium. Of that, the college set aside
$12,606,971 for 1981-82, $13,194,953 for 1982-83 and $924,696; $355,200 for merit increases for
faculty and exempt staff, $65,000 for unemployment compensation, $93,000 for the 11brary circulation system, and $411,496 for the masters degree program in Environmental Studies, .which ..
will be considered for approval by the Council for Postsecondary Education next month.
From the $12,606,971 for 1981-82,college officials first subtracted $126,000 for a one
percent institutional reserve, $12,000 for professional development (see related story, page 2),
and $105,100 to cover Evergreen•s share of the costs of the federally supported National Direct
dent Loan and College Work Study programs. That left $12,363,851 to be divided among budget
ts, which have submitted requests· for $13,694,496.
The major increases come from seven budget areas. The Library has asked for an additional
$103,600 over last year•s budget to fund the new circulation system and $50,000 for purchase of
additional resources; Computer Services is seeking an additional $330,000, of which $270,000 will
go toward developing a new administrative computing system and $60,000 will fund new staff and
goods and services; the instructional budget seeks an additional $200,000 for more adjunct faculty
positions, greater academic support in travel and goods and services, increased support in the
learning resource center and added technical staff in the Communications Building.
In addition, the Intercollegiate Athletics program seeks $50,000 over current budget to add
new sports and meet the increased needs for travel, administrative support, coaches and goods and
services. The Community Relations Office seeks an additional $30,000 to increase office staff
in Development and eliminate administrative support to Development from the Foundation. The
Business Office has asked for $100,000 to provide for development of new software computer system,
increased staffing in the Cashiers and Collections Offices , and assumption of the state portion
of the costs of grant and contract accounting. And, Graphics has requested $26,000 for new
typesetting equipment.
The rest of the big gap, says Bigelow, reflects the impact of inflation, the 11 Carry forward 11
cost of salary increases granted last fall and of step increments, and 11 a raft of small items
budgets need that, taken in toto, add up quickly ...
Following Monday•s meeting with the president, budget heads will be invited to a final
session on the 1981-82 allocations, tentatively set for late next week. Then the final budget
document will be forwarded to the trustees for consideration at their June 11 meeting.
S &A BOARD REQUESTS INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF KAOS
The Services and Activities Fees Review Board has formally requested a fiscal and operations
audit of the campus-community radio station KAOS. The action came following reports that the
student newspaper, the Cooper Point Journal, was investigating charges of misuse of funds by
members of the volunteer radio station staff.

- 2 -

-.

.

As part of the S & A budget allocation process, organizations seeking funds have been presenting proposals in open sessions. At Friday's meeting, KAOS staff members, who had originally
sought $30,000 for next year ($11,500 over this year's total allication of $18,500) presented a
pared down request of $23,000. S &A board member Ted Butchart expressed concern over the rad
station's past spending history and urged that the request be tabled. Student reporter Bill
Montague of the CPJ then reported that he was conducting an investigation into alleg - against KAOS staff.
S &A members agreed to table the budget decisions. Some members later met with campus administrators, including Vice President for Business Dick Schwartz. As a result of that meeting,
S &A on Wednesday announced Schwartz's decision to order an independent audit, which is expected
to take two to four weeks. In the meantime, the board has agreed to freeze an amount in the
1981-82 budget equivalent to at least this year's KAOS allocation.
AVE FINALISTS TO BE INTERVIEWED FOR EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH COORDINATOR
Five finalists have been selected from a field of more than 80 applicants for the post of
educational outreach coordinator formerly held by Earlyse Swift, according to College Relations
Director Chuck Fowler. The finalists will all be interviewed next week by a screening committee
in sessions to be held in Library 3121.
Those scheduled for interviews include: Janet Cleveland, an Evergreen alum who currently

METROPOL ITAN LIFE AWARDS $10,000 TO ALTERNATE ED CONFERENCE
The Metropol i tan Life Foundation Tuesday announced the award of a $10,000 grant to Evergreen
to conduct an institutional self study and convene a National Conference on Alternative Higher
Education in Olympia next fall. The grant, one of ten selected by Metropolitan's Educational
Awards Committee, was presented to Evergreen President Dan Evans Tuesday by V. Stanley Benfell, Jr.
SeniorVice President for the San Franciso Head Office o~etropolitan Life at a noon meeting of
the West Olympia Rotary Club.
The grant supports Evergreen's plan to host a three-day conference in September to celebrate
the completion of ten academic years by bringing together representatives from colleges, universities and foundations that were actively engaged in various experiments in American higher education during the past two decades.
Purpose of the conference, according to Evergreen organizers Dr. Barbara Smith and Dr.
rd Jones, will be to "articulate the legacy of this distinctive period of ferment in American
mental higher education and to assess its relevance for the 1980s."
The two organizers have issued a national "call for papers" seeking participants who will
explore the successful and unsuccessful innovations developed since the 1960s. They'll seek to
discover the circumstances, conditions and historical influences which favored or undermined those
innovations and to determine "how we can enlist these answers to help meet the challenges of the
coming decade," Dr. Smith says. The pa ers,which may eventually be ublished in a book to be

-2-

produced by Schenkman Publishing Company, will be completed by June. Presentations of the final
documents will dominate the September 8-10 session, along with a major keynote address by E
Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
. Metroporitan's presentation of the award, according to Benfell, "demonstrates the Foundatlon's strong sense of corporate social responsibility" and parallels the organization's sponsor
ship ~f.such other activitie~ a~ the National Merit Scholarship awards, production for public
telev1s1on of the works of W1ll.1am Shakespeare, and support of a variety of nutrition studies.

"better than we expected"
LEGISLATORS HIKE TUITION, FUND LONG-AWAITED GYM DESIGN, ADJOURN
By Judy McNickle, Director of Information Services
Evergreen's legislative lobbyist Les Eldridge had a hard time keeping a smile off his face
this week. What's probably been the toughest lobbying session of his career had just ended. It
had wrought some tough news for students --- the biggest tuition increase in the state's history.
But results of the session, Eldridge told budget unit heads Monday, "were far better than we expected." Not only did the Republican-dominated, fiscally conservative legislature approve a 26
million dollar operating budget thatpermits Evergreen "far greater management flexibility" and
the "opportunity to grow" to and beyond 2500 FTE (full-time equivalent) students during the next
two years, but the tight-fisted lawmakers also approved a two million dollar capital budget granting Evergreen long dreamed of funds to design a gymnasium, and to finish the athletic fields,
purchase equipment and repair badly leaking roofs on two major buildings.
EXACT TUITION/FEES LEVELS UNDER STUDY
Impact of the tuition bill was still under study this week as Budget Office~ Mike Bigelow
Eldridge sought legislative staff clarification on mandated increases for Summer Quarter.
"We know the tuition increases are effective Summer Quarter," explained Bigelow Tuesday. "What
we don't know for sure yet is if we have to impose non-resident rates, which we have not levied
during recent past summer sessions." Both Bigelow and Eldridge were "fairly confident" out-ofstaters will have to pay at the non-resident rate. Also yet to be det~rmined is the final amount
of legislatively approved increases in Services and Activities fees. In June, the board of
trustees will decide how much of the permissible $22.50 per year raise in S&A fees they'll implement. If the board approves the maximum S&A fees increase, the tuition picture for full-time
students will look like this:

Maximum if total S&A approved increase is adopted by Board of Trustees in June.
Fees for persons enrolling for 10 or fewer credit hours will also have to be reset by the
board at the June 11 meeting.

-2To help students adjust to the more than 70 percent hike in tuition and fees, legislators
have ordered the state colleges to create a new loan fund equal to 2.5% of all fees collected
by the institutions. Bigelow said the program will generate "approximately $100,000" for
Evergreen students next year. Four dollars of the S&A fee hike will automatically go into
loan fund, as will a percentage of tuition and operating fees. Legislators did not approve a
bill, which would have provided tuition waivers for athletes.
OPERATING BUDGET:

20% INCREASE

Before their first adjournment Sunday night, legislators approved a $26,726,600 operating
budget for Evergreen•s 1981-83 biennium, an increase of 20% over the 1979-1981 biennial budget.
The new budget, which is more than $100,000 higher than Governor John Spellman•s original proposal (excluding salary increases) and substantially higher than either of the original budgets
proposed by the House and Senate, permits Evergreen to reach an annual average FTE of 2500 but
does not impose penalities for over- or under-enrollment. That exemption from contract employment levels --- coupled with the appropriation of funds to the entire institution, rather than
by program--- provides the college "far greater management flexibility" than has been the case
in the past six years, according to Bigelow. "We can determine how to allocate the money within
programs this biennium," he said. ~~~~e·re no longer limited to a five percent shift from one
program to another."
The new operating budget has some "surprisingly good news," Eldridge reported. The instructional budget level is at 71% of formula and was successfully framed by Bigelow to include an
additional $400,000 outside of formula to fund the academic deans ppsitions, in effect enabling
the college to hire five additional FTE faculty for the biennium. It grants Evergreen --- and
the other three regional universities --- $20,000 for state-supported research, an appropriation
never before received at TESC. While it eliminates the public service funding, it awards the
student services operation an additional $157,000 outside of formula which permits those units
"to keep pace with current level and anticipated growth," Eldridge said. In addition, the ne
budget funds Evergreen•s second masters degree program, which is expected to go before the C
for Postsecondary Education for final approval in June.
Salaries for all state employees were also improved, through a funding program that provides
nearly identical percentage increases for classified and exempt/faculty staff. Classified employees will receive 7.5% increase next October and a 7% hike in October of 1982, in addition to
the annual step increments. Exempt and faculty will receive 7.2% next fall, plus 7% in October
of 1 82, in addition to potential merit increases that average out to 2.6% a year.
GYt1 FUNDED AT LAST MINUTE
Funds to design the future home of Evergreen•s proposed Geoduck dunkers were approved in
late-night moves Saturday and Sunday. Representative Dan ~1cDonald, chairman of the House Education Appropriations Committee, amended the Senate version to include both gym and field items.
The amendment passed House Ways and Means unanimously. The gymnasium design funds total $270,00C
of the $2,022,856 Evergreen capital budget, which also includes $542,000 to repair and renovate
the library, $60,856 to reroof the Seminar Building, $450,000 for instructional and support
equipment; $120,000 for energy conservation, and $580,000 to complete the soccer and baseball
fields. No funds were allocated to build a competitive track, but no members of the Clambackers
(Evergreen•s athletic support group) seemed this week to mind --- visions of a high-ceilinged
facility attached to the College Recreation Center and designed to serve intercollegiate and
intramural sports and Leisure Education programs were far too appealing. Tentative plans for
the facility envision a two-story structure with one full-sized basketball court convertible to
three prpctice courts, volleyball/badminton courts, space for martial arts, gymnastics, wrestlin~
and other "mat activities," training rooms, offices for coaches, and locker room expansion. The
new gym will also be designed to meet needs of academic programs in performing arts, recreat
management, multimedia production and health science programs. In addition, it will serve a
an assembly space for graduation and other events which require a seating capacity of 2,000.
It•s estimated the gym will add an additional 31,000 square feet at a construction cost of more
than four million dollars.

GROUP TO STUDY

VOLCANO AS METAPHOR ..

When 11 the mountain .. blew last spring, more than ash and debris erupted; Mount Saint Helens
in three big blasts also gave birth to a vast collection of stories, images, even dreams that
have affected--- and will continue to affect --- the lives of her human neighbors for years to
come.
~
This summer a small group of Evergreen students will devote five weeks to collecting those
stories and images from persons throughout southwest Washington. The course, to be based at
Evergreen's Vancouver campus, will be taught by faculty anthropologist Lynn Patterson June 19July 24. Its results, she hopes, will be compiled into a publication that will help others come
to better understand what's happened because of the mountain in the past year.
These are stories that deserve to be gathered, .. believes Patterson.
Many have already
becom~ folklore, have created heroes and heroines who will shape and reshape how we view these
historic events for years to come ...
Patterson hopes to attract 20 students to her class called .. Volcano as Metaphor: Cultural
Responses to Nature's R~ges•• which meets June 19 in the Vancouver headquarters. Students will be
ven instruction for three days on how to conduct oral interviews and gather field research.
en they'll devote four full weeks to meeting with local citizens who are willing to tell their
stories about the eruptions of the past year.
11
0thers are focusing on the physical, economic and social impacts of that natural disaster, ..
adds Patterson.
We want, instead, to gather images, photographs, drawings, jokes, persistent
rumors, even reports of dreams persons have had during or since the eruptions. Then we'll publish our research and further share these amazing stories ...
