It is hard for some people to dissociate NEON from its usual
sleazy advertising function, but
jf you look beyond the screaming letters in a TATTOOING sign
you should be able to see the
beauty in this unusual type of
glass sculpture.
Exhibits coordinator Plex
Barry, who instigated the NEON
show, is disgusted with the philistine negative reactions to the
exhibition. ' Tm fed up w ith
these sappy organic poets," she
fumed . "Here we are all trying
to be groovy and get back to the
grass, man , and the only thing
that would make these morons
happy is if someone painted the
side of a fucking sheep ."
She bega n to breathe easier
and went on calm ly. "A friend
of mine said that he first understood the beauty of NEON when
he saw a film of Tokyo at night ,
and because he couldn't read the
signs he was able to judge them
in a detached way. 1 thought if I
put NEON in a gallery setting,
where one is more accustomed to
view things objectively, that
people wouldn't get screwed up
by the word TATTOOING."
NEON is fading fast from the
scene. The crews of six to ten
people who ran the NEON shops
through the 1950's have almost
all vanished, the market is decreasing rapidly , and few people
will go through the four-year apprenticeship it takes to become a

saw it . Unfortunately, "Dippity"
was torn down years ago and replaced with a sex less plexiglass
sign lit from behind with boring
old fluorescent tubes.
And that's the big problem.
NEON is fast disappearing from
our lives. But there are some
people concerned wi th sav ing
what 's left of the NEON , and
who are desperately trying to
keep the dying craft of glassbending alive . Two of these people are Jim Nostdal and Chris
Schambacher, who have brought
several . pieces from their extensive NEON coll ections for displa y in the Neo -Nart Gallery
and at strategic locations aro und
the Evergreen campus.

by Stan Shore
From the outside it looks like an old
church, but the interior is that of a 168
seat cinema, The proverbial silver screen
hangs in front of where the Baptist's full
body immersion baptismal tub used to be.
In place of pews, the slanted floor has
been arranged with chairs, Downstairs, a
la Haroard Exit, cinema enthusiasts are
playing chess, and chatting about the film
showing above them, The lounge is large
and comfortable, with free coffee and .
herbal tea available as well as - for
money - fresh pastries and an assortment of moderately organic goods from
the old fashioned candy counter.
But no matter how enchanting the
lounge, it is the films themselves which
are most important. This theatre shows
foreign films and revivals of American

classics, the sort of film one associates
with Evergreen's own Friday Nite Films or
Academic Film Series: Seven Beauties,
The Third Man, King of Hearts or H~r­
old and Maude.
Best of all, the theatre is located in
Olympia, or would have been, had the
Olympia City Council not intervened,
At present, the theatre remains the
costly dream of Nancy Duncan, who
bought the church on Sawyer Street in
August, after selling her house in Seattle
and moving to Tumwater. It is a long
story why the theatre, once approved by
the Planning Commission, City Council
and Board of Adjustments, is now stalled
and unable to get the building permit
needed to finish renovations.
Duncan owns not only the Church,
which is zoned commercial-retail, but also

the house behind it, which is zoned residential. On September 21, she went before
the three member Olympia City Council
to request rezoning of the property behind
the church so that a parking lot could be
built there. By a two to one vote the
council approved.
Later that week , Duncan went before
the Board of Adjustment to ask for a per mit to do the extensive remodeling needed
inside the building. Since the commercialretail zone does not specifically allow or
preclude movie theatres, the board had
leeway in considering the proposal. They
followed the lead of the City Counci l and
approved the remodeling, as long as the
standard adequate parking fa cilities were
made available.
Everything seemed set for work to begin on the theatre something that Duncan
was and is quite anxious to do considering the $2,000 per month she says it costs
her not to have the theatre open. The
City Council is required to have two different "readings" of its rulings before they
become effective. The first reading was on
September 28. It was uneventful.
The second reading was on October 5,
at which time Olympia Mayor Torn Allen
announced that he had decided to change
his vote on the Duncan rezoning. Commissioner Kenneth Kisor followed suit,

making the new vote 3 - 0 against. The
councilmen cited the public outcry agai nst
the theatre, the traffic congestion, and the
possibility that the theatre would show
pornographic films as the reasons for their
reversal. Earlier that day the councilmen
had been besieged by phone calls protesting the theatre and were also presented
with a petition of protest. The petit ion
was signed by 18 persons living in the im mediate vicinity of the theatre.
On October 2, Duncan returned to the
board with petitions totalling 300 signa tures, some collected at Evergreen, in
favor of the theatre. Unlike the first petition , few if any of the signatures were
from persons living in close proximity toJ
the proposed theatre. The council stu ck to
its refusal. sugges ting that it would rec o nsider only if a large number of people in
the immediate loca le supported the theatre
'Tve been to seven meetings," Duncan
said, incredulously. A mature red-haired
woman, Duncan talks about the legal has sles she is having with regret, but also
with determination.
.
"On October 27, at 1 :30," she explained,
"I am going back before the Board of Adjustments." It is her last recourse short of
a court fight. If the board okays her re -

.Curriculum "Trial Balloon" Launched
by Jim Wright
A Trial Balloon will be loosed on campus today. Students are urged to keep
shotguns handy ...
The "trial balloon" is a rough sketch of
proposed annual programs for next year
and is intended to precipitate student reaction to faculty proposals. It is not a
final curriculum draft, Instead, it is a
means to solicit student input toward final
proposals for next year's curriculum, The
final selection will be made by October 29
by the academic deans, who will consider
the student response in addition to other
factors such as faculty availability, campus resources, and expected student interests,
A questionnaire devised by the student
volunteer Curriculum Consultative _Group
in conjunction with Academic Dean Rob
Knapp asks students to respond to three
questions based on the annual program
proposals:
1) Have you found a proposal related
to your interests, needs, desires?; 2) If so,
how could that proposal be improved to
make it really terrific?; 3) If not, what
are the interests, needs, desires you would
most like to work on next year?
The deadline for student response to the
proposals is Friday, October 22.
Curriculum planning efforts for next
year have been greatly accelerated this fall
in order to meet a November 5 deadline
for submission of the completed text to
the printers. The published Catalog Supplement, containing the curriculum, is expected to be out in January,
Evergreen's curriculum was drastically
revised last year by the Long Range Curriculum Plannil)g Disappearing Task Force
(DTF) follOWing wide scale student dissatisfaction over faculty domination of
curriculum planning, This dissatisfaction
led to last fall's all -campus Teach-in protest, held to educate community members
about curriculum planning and governance.
Citing a need for more predictability in
curriculum while maintaining an interdisciplinary approach to education, the Long
Range Curriculum DTF proposed that

Evergreen's curriculum be broken down
into three general categories - Basic Coordinated Studies, Annual Programs, and
Advanced Interdisciplinary Specialty
Areas,
Interdisciplmary learning was defined as
learning which "emphasizes the unity of
knowledge without isolating it into discrete diSCiplinary packages," and thu~ is
"dictated by the nature of a pressing problem" rather than along strict disciplinary
lines, The committee also placed a high
priority on "eliminating racism and sexism
from the life and work of the college"
through curricular offerings.
Annual programs, comprising an approximate 40 % of next year's curriculum,
include new or experimental proposals
(student-originated programs, for -instance), responses to temporary academic
opportunities including foreign study situations, and "backstop" programs, intended
to fill cracks in other areas of the college's
curriculum. The Trial fjalloon deals specifically with faculty proposals for such
annual programs,
Proposed annual programs include:
"English Theatre: From Script to Stage to
London," offering academic background
and preparation in theatre arts, dramatic
production, and travel to England during
Spring quarter to observe English Theatre
firsthand; "Agriculture - Past and Future, " approaching farming as an academic subject and including research in agronomy, anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, sociology,
and soil science. It will explore the issue
of subsistence and family farming vs.
corporate agribusiness; "Exploration in
20th Century Music," including electronic
music production, study of different musical styles "from Blood, Sweat &t Tears to
Bartok," and student participation in a
wind orchestra; "Voices of the Third
World," utilizing "a case study approach"
in analyzing the development of the Third
World and the effects of independence
upon Third World countries; "Studies in
Greece: RUrill Towns and Villages," offering possible travel and study in Greece.
Basic Coordinated Studies will comprise

Dean Rob Knapp pauses as a student offers an idea for generating stu dent interest in curriculum planning,
approximately 20% of Evergreen's future
curricular offerings, and according to the
DTF, are designed "particularly to introduce freshman and sophomore students to
Evergreen's approach to leaming."Through
such programs, the committee recognized
Evergreen's "unconventional nature" and
attempted to provide for a transition into
its unique educational atmosphere.
To date, however, proposals for Basic
Coordinated Studies programs are even
more tentative than those for annual programs. Examples include "Health - IndiVidual & Community," attempting to define what "being healthy" means; "Nature
& Society," including social and natural
sciences, math and communications skills;
and a very tentative proposal - "Understanding the Whole Earth Catalog," challenging the individual "to conduct his
own education, find his own inspiration,
shape his own environment, and share his

adventure with whomever is interested."
The final 40% of next year's curriculum
will consist of Advanced Interdisciplinary
Specialty Areas, defined by the committee
as a sequential and stable set of offerings
proViding advanced students with a predictable curricular pathway towards a
specific academic goal. Advanced Specialty
Areas were selected by the DTF "princi pally on the basis of a conjunction of fac ulty interests and strengths with those of
Evergreen students," apparent from past
curricular experience.
Examples of Advanced Interdisciplinary
Specialty Areas include "Management and
the Public Interest," "Marine Sciences and
Crafts ," and "Northwest Native American
Studies . " Two other areas - "Commum cations, " and "European Studies, " were
considered but dropped due to lack of fac uhy and resources committed to these
areas .

To the Editor :
Re: Let ter to the Editor 1017 176
f rom Stephen 0, Rabow.
Dear Steve,
A lth ough I did say that at this
time Fridav Nite Films does look
• li ttle lik~ Disco, this is not aIV\.', ys the case, There are times
whl"l popular movies, no matter
how ~awd awful. keep coming
up in Ihe sugges tion box. Popular conse nsus does, sometimes,
force us to book them (i .e, Brew ster McCloud , 200 Motels, etc.).
This is not, however, always
the case. Frid~y Nite Films has
taken many chances in bringing
unknown films that have proved
to be outstanding (i.e. Lucia,
Darkstar, ' , . A"d Now For
SOn1eth ing Comp lete Different)
- films that students would not
a lways get a chance to see on the
outside, I am personally devoted
to doing the latter, but if people
want to see the same old trash,
like Harold and Maude, what
ca n we do? It depends on the
taste of the film committee,
Now that that's over, the second half of this letter. Last week
during the 3 o'clock showing of
Last Tango in Paris, it was
broug ht to my attention that the
film had not been inspected by
the di s tributor after the last

showing. It was only after we
ran the film that we discovered
ree ls th ree and four had been
mislabeled . The re was nothing
we cou ld do except invite people
to come back to anot her
showing and blast the distribu tor, which I've done. We are
sorry and, hopefully, it won't
happen again . Hopefully.
Take care and get off my case,
Don Dapp

When I graduated from high
school I knew I was leaving a lot
of happy memories behind , memories of school spirit and student
un itv that I would recall fondly
lor the rest of my life.
You ca n imagine my surprise
to lea rn that Evergreen has sc heduled weekly pep rallies , just like
in hi gh school. I am refe rring, of
cou rse, to the EPIC film fest on
Monday even in g, Sacco alld
Vanzett i wa s the featu red film,
and although it was a heavyhand ed, s loppy mess, I was
pl eased to hear the cheerleaders
placed strategically in the audience, gu idin g our emot ions with
expertly-t imed appla use and hissing, I thought the fa rt noises
were especia ll y effec tive in un - .
derscoring the evil of the movie
vi ll a ins,
I know some of you w ill think
from what I have written that
the film showing was characterized by sheer mindless ignorance .
Th is is only partially true, Sure,
the students in the aud ience
acted like malevolent sheep, but
they were happy, spirited, peppy ,
malevo lent sheep.
It's been a long time si nce I

Among the many influ ences
that leave students feeling powerless at Evergreen (w hether we are
or not) is the fac t that on th is
campus there is absolute ly no
com f<:Xtable and useful studentoriented social space anywhere,
Aga in and again there have been
attempts to create so me and it's
never gotten anywhere. The bure a ucracy and the space are
prob lems but not unsolvable , A
bi gger proglem is that the need is
not recognized by mu ch of the
community , The biggest area of
student social need is with
younger stude nts, especially but
not restricted to students liv»",g
on campus, About half of all
new student s end up living on
campus, where we bounce off
peop le all day but have no space
to actua ll y make contact.
The feeling I get is that the
o nl y acceptab le answe r is to
move off ca mpu s (that often
means moving o ur entire focus
off the ca mpu s and a ll its politics, which a ll ows the schoo l to
lose the stude nt involvement in
the com muni ty essentia l to maintain ing Evergreen as an alternative schoo l) , Peop le in the dorms
are seen only as people who
aren' t creative or energetic enough
to find a place to live off-campus.
It's hard to grow out of needs

For those who do not know,
want to briefly recount the cinematic nightmare which occurred
last Fr iday at the afternoon
showing of Last Tango in Paris,
After paying six bits, students
were shown a new ·editing of
Bertolucci's film. In this new version, perhaps pandering to the
preceived Perversity of the audience, the sexiest scenes were
saved for last. That's right. The
normal ending of the film, when
Branda meets his Maker, is
shown in this new cut threequarters of the way through the
film. After that climax, if you
will students were then shown
the'middle of the film, to see
some more climaxes,

Many Deluxe burgers are ji ve .
The most jive Deluxe can be
found for a mere 44 cents at. the
Arctic Circle in Lacey. Its registered ti tIe is the A cey Burger and
it kills, No lie , dear readers, the
Acey burger has definite homicid al tendencies, The only good
things about the Acey burger is
the bag it comes in , w hi ch, unli ke the Mama Burger bag, does
not smel l.
The Big Mac , Big T. Bob 's Big ,
Big W, Square Burger, Jumbo,
Ranch Burger, and Sco tty Burger {all Disco versions of the
Spa r's famous Trailblazer}, have
pushed the once popular Deluxe
to the bottom of the Marquee .
The two-pattie craze which
swept the nation over a decade
?,IgCY'trearlY"1!trded 'it" for '1'/n> ' De-lu xe.' MacDonald's, originator o f
the Big Mac, never even' had Deluxe Burgers, A sli ce of k'Tlato,
on ion, and pickle, some lettuce,
usually shredded, a recent phenomenon ca ll ed "goop;" and the
burger, the pa tty, the meat-influx , make up the 1976 Delu xe in
almost any joint. In a nd around
the Olymp ia area, you can put
your li ps around the buns of one
such delight for between 44 cen ts
and $1.50,
Of the ten local contestants,
judged on size, flavor, meat, and
buns, there emerged three distinct classifications: the One-,
f;;Vo-, and Three-napkin burg'ers, For a Deluxe to make the
One-Napkin rating it must be
sold for under 80 cents and on ly
eaten by people who have lost
their minds,
The four th runner-up in the
One-Napkin competit ion is the
Arctic Circle's Acey Burger,
"With tomato , guaranteed 100 %
beef," priced at 44 cents, The
Pits. Ford Gilbreath, who photographed and ate at least half of
the 10 burgers here , began laughing hysterically when we opened
the Acey. With good reason,
The meat, not even centered on
the comparatively titanic bun,
measured a short three inches
across, and was very thin, It had
abso lut e ly no flavor. It was
memorable in its lack of flavor.
Chew on this newsprint and understand me with utmost clarity.
One pickle, 3 V. inches of thinly
sliced tomato, shredded lettuce
on the wi lt, · and a tablespoon of
overpowering goop on a 4 Vz
inch bed of wrinkled and tired
white bread. It was the largest
bun we encountered, It looked
like a hit dog, One wanted to
scrape it up and bury it. The
Acey Burger was two inches high
and worthless after the heat left
it. Since it was one of our first
burgers we didn't know enough
not to eat it.
The third runner-up is the

Lacey A & W' s Mama Burger.
The Mama Burger is scary. "This
doesn't even sme ll like food."
Ford is right. The Mama Burger
comes in a chrome bag with a
picture of Mama on the front. It
smells like burning plas tic and is
much better once ou t of the bag,
I insist we must have had a bad
one. T he Lacey Mama had no
toma to or on ions. The nasty
meat measured a thin 4 'Iz by 3 1/z
inches, and had no flavor or
color. In addition to a sparse
coveri ng of lettuce, the bottom
section of the 4'1z inch bun was
thinner than the meat and soaked
with grease, and the whole thing
stood a sick ly 1 '/ z inches off the
tray, offering nothing but goop
as a point in its favor. For all
this it was still a bun above t he
Acey,

, Jack In the Box Deluxe. There is
nothing scary about Jack in the
. Box itself. There is nothing good
about Jack In the Box Deluxe
either. You hardly notice eating
it. Ford couldn't even laugh at it.
Just take it out of the bag, put it
'in your mouth, and leave. It
comes with a 4 inch bun,
lettuce,
3 1/, inches
of meat
you can taste enough to tell
what it is, the secret sauce, a
slice of tomato, two pickles, and
a yawn, for 44 cents.
The first runner-up in the OneNapkin competition is, believe it
or not, our own SAGA burger,
Our dear sweet 70 cent Deluxe.
SAGA burgers are wet guys: ~.
inches of bun, 4 inches of meat.
What puts this baby a cut above
the rest is the fact that you can
see it being cooked and it comes
undressed with unshredded (if
not non-union) lettuce. You haul
that naked burger over to the
condiments bar and do your
own thing. The perfect burger
for t hi s type of schooL I strongly
suggest, a nd Ford will agree w ith
me. that you try the blue cheese
dressing on your next one.
The winner of the One-Napkin crown is the Legion Street
A&W Mama Burger. Right on .
Ford accura tely pointed out that
the atmos ph ere can make or
break the Deluxe and for this
Mama Burger, it makes it.
Frankly, within the categories,
the burgers themselves do not
vary a whole lo t. I vote for this
particular A&W, a lo n g with
their tidy little Mama Burger, A
cheerful little bun unsquished,
meat with flavor (fo r real,
friends) nice un shredded pieces
of lettuce, a rosy tomato slice,
some chummy pick le slices and a
palatab le dressing. Why , next
door to some root beer this little

The Acey Burger -

" Homicidal "

Ford Gi lbreath

The Lacey Mama Burger Next to us in the A&W parking lot were two teens and a
mom, When one teen saw us
photographing our own pathetiC
little Deluxe, he held up his '/ J
pound of meat, six-inc h-sesameseed - bunned-everythi ng- on - itScotty Burger with both hands
and yelled, "You should have
ordered this one." The mom
quickly added, "He really likes
his hamburgers , His grandma
bought him a Presto burgermaker for his birthday la st June
and he's just about worn it out,"
I asked them where to buy the
best burgers and received an emphatic "Norm's."
Jack In the Box features our
second runner-up, ThE're is
nothing ~cary or deadly about a

"scary"

doll of a burger could be a ny
basketball team's mascot. If you
have a Mama Burger at the
Legion Street A&W, order it to
stay and don 't worry about getting beat up. I've never seen it
happen there.
For a Deluxe to make the Two- I
Napkin competit ion it must be
under a dollar and eaten by
those who care so mewhat about
their health . We have only two
contestants in this category,
Amazing as it seems, the
fastfading facade of both Norm'£
and the Westside Eagan's look
exactly alike; white little sleazoid
places with Amazonian women
to take your orders,
The competition between these
two burgers is hot and heavy, In

the final analysis, however (much
to the shock ana amazement of
the Normettes and -ites) I give
the Deluxe at Eagan's the tiara
and make the Norm's Deluxe
first runner-up.
The Norm's burger is 95 cents
and comes in an exotic square of
translucent wax paper barely
held on by a toothpick. Abundant in lettuce and hand-cut
chunks of onion, the burger is
impressive. The meat tastes storebought. I'd feed it to my mother,
to a hot date, to a priest. Oh,
and dear friends! The integrity
of this fair specimen! Not goop,
no, but a throwback to the blissful past, to the Hamburger Hall
of Fame. Norm's, yes, Norm's,

The second runner-up can be
found 24 hours a day at the RibEye restaurant in Lacey. A
Rib-Eye deluxe comes on a yellow 4 inch sesame seed bun, has
three sweet pickles, a thick slice
of tomato, lots of lettuce, a tablespoon of goop, a 4 by 3 '/,
inch slice of meat with grill
marks all over it, and an almostgrilled flavor. It wins the clean
hamburger award and is as dependable as a Cocker Spaniel.
Check it out for $1.20,
The first runner-up is waiting
for you at the Spar. Oh this
wonderful" sweet, d e lici ous,
handsome piece of hamburger is
actually shaped by human hands.

"It's got real flavor. '
still goes all the way for us w ith
the mayo. T he fugitive mayonnaise with option of ketchup or
mustard can still be found at
Norm's, That is, if you can find
Norm's , It's a 25 minute drive to
this deluxe down Ma rtin Way
until you reach Marv in , just past
the Magic Fingers Sauna. The
waitresses are seven feet tall and
beautiful. The chocolate banana
shakes are ice cream dreams.
Oh why then do I give the
crown to Eagan's ? How can I do
it? The two burgers are essen tially the same aside from a f1i rty
amount of lett uce on Norm's. I
give the crown to Eagan's because it' s a goddamn good burger. You can ea t it wh ile walking,
driving, whi le sitting. It
I not fa ll all over your lap or
p its guts onto yo ur jeans. It's
thing a Two-Napkin Deluxe can and shou ld be. It is
beautiful. Really very beautiful.
Not on ly that, but if yo u are to
be seen anywhere, be seen at
Eagan's, Cops eat there, hoods
eat there , cheerleaders, faculty
members , transvestites and housewives all eat there, Artists eat
there, writers, factory workers,
any k id in the world wi ll eat
t here. As the Evergreen Library
circulation desk at tendant Laurie
Kay Titus will tell anyone, "Eagan's is four squa re,"
The la st and final category,
the bi g one , guys and gals, the
Three-Napkin Competition, is
not hard to judge at all. In order
to qualify the burger must be
considered good by at least three
adu lts and can be so ld at any
price, All of the three contestants
are bingo bango bongo I don't
wa nt to leave th e congo.

tions .

Gee wh iz, it 's a nice burger. "It's
got real flavor" says Ford, " It 's
not too wet and not too dry,"
Words so simple and ye t so true,
Big slices of everything. Lo ts of
relish and tomato - none of this
jive-ass goop on the real burgers. The lettuce is whole leaf and
not iceberg. That bun is 4 inches
across and has great posture.
And the Spar is probably the
nicest place to sit in a ll of Olympia. Better than a movie, Better
than the Westside parking lot on
a Friday night. If for some odd
reason the hamburger tha t w ill
wear the crown can ' t come
through for you , hit the Spar, If
yo u really want a knockdown
drag-out treat , try their Famous
Trailblazer .
And now for the moment we
have a ll been waiting for , the
Deluxe Hambllrg er royalt y of
Thurston County fo r the 1976 77 reign is without a doubt call ing your name from the ho t grill
of Davis's Brown Derby. We
didn 't dare measure this one.
How could we? If Leon ardo da
Vinci made a burger, if Federico
Felli11l' made a burger, would you
measure it? We orde red a Deluxe on ho memade bread (an option not to be found anywhere
else), and one on the perk white
bun you can find anyw here, I
swear I heard violins as thev
came my way. When we a sked
Mrs, Davis to pose with them,
she held them lik e twin master pieces. Rightly so, It's the best
goddamned deal in town at
$1,05. Hats off to Mrs , Davi s
and her Dellu e HlIrgcr , our
queen and champion , and her
burger that wears the TI/Y['~ ­
Napkin Crown ,

a healthy one, and that helping

here is a more acceptable answe r
than screening o ut the people

To the Editor :
Re: Let ter to the Editor 1017 176
f rom Stephen 0, Rabow.
Dear Steve,
A lth ough I did say that at this
time Fridav Nite Films does look
• li ttle lik~ Disco, this is not aIV\.', ys the case, There are times
whl"l popular movies, no matter
how ~awd awful. keep coming
up in Ihe sugges tion box. Popular conse nsus does, sometimes,
force us to book them (i .e, Brew ster McCloud , 200 Motels, etc.).
This is not, however, always
the case. Frid~y Nite Films has
taken many chances in bringing
unknown films that have proved
to be outstanding (i.e. Lucia,
Darkstar, ' , . A"d Now For
SOn1eth ing Comp lete Different)
- films that students would not
a lways get a chance to see on the
outside, I am personally devoted
to doing the latter, but if people
want to see the same old trash,
like Harold and Maude, what
ca n we do? It depends on the
taste of the film committee,
Now that that's over, the second half of this letter. Last week
during the 3 o'clock showing of
Last Tango in Paris, it was
broug ht to my attention that the
film had not been inspected by
the di s tributor after the last

showing. It was only after we
ran the film that we discovered
ree ls th ree and four had been
mislabeled . The re was nothing
we cou ld do except invite people
to come back to anot her
showing and blast the distribu tor, which I've done. We are
sorry and, hopefully, it won't
happen again . Hopefully.
Take care and get off my case,
Don Dapp

When I graduated from high
school I knew I was leaving a lot
of happy memories behind , memories of school spirit and student
un itv that I would recall fondly
lor the rest of my life.
You ca n imagine my surprise
to lea rn that Evergreen has sc heduled weekly pep rallies , just like
in hi gh school. I am refe rring, of
cou rse, to the EPIC film fest on
Monday even in g, Sacco alld
Vanzett i wa s the featu red film,
and although it was a heavyhand ed, s loppy mess, I was
pl eased to hear the cheerleaders
placed strategically in the audience, gu idin g our emot ions with
expertly-t imed appla use and hissing, I thought the fa rt noises
were especia ll y effec tive in un - .
derscoring the evil of the movie
vi ll a ins,
I know some of you w ill think
from what I have written that
the film showing was characterized by sheer mindless ignorance .
Th is is only partially true, Sure,
the students in the aud ience
acted like malevolent sheep, but
they were happy, spirited, peppy ,
malevo lent sheep.
It's been a long time si nce I

Among the many influ ences
that leave students feeling powerless at Evergreen (w hether we are
or not) is the fac t that on th is
campus there is absolute ly no
com f<:Xtable and useful studentoriented social space anywhere,
Aga in and again there have been
attempts to create so me and it's
never gotten anywhere. The bure a ucracy and the space are
prob lems but not unsolvable , A
bi gger proglem is that the need is
not recognized by mu ch of the
community , The biggest area of
student social need is with
younger stude nts, especially but
not restricted to students liv»",g
on campus, About half of all
new student s end up living on
campus, where we bounce off
peop le all day but have no space
to actua ll y make contact.
The feeling I get is that the
o nl y acceptab le answe r is to
move off ca mpu s (that often
means moving o ur entire focus
off the ca mpu s and a ll its politics, which a ll ows the schoo l to
lose the stude nt involvement in
the com muni ty essentia l to maintain ing Evergreen as an alternative schoo l) , Peop le in the dorms
are seen only as people who
aren' t creative or energetic enough
to find a place to live off-campus.
It's hard to grow out of needs

Many Deluxe burgers are ji ve .
The most jive Deluxe can be
found for a mere 44 cents at. the
Arctic Circle in Lacey. Its registered ti tIe is the A cey Burger and
it kills, No lie , dear readers, the
Acey burger has definite homicid al tendencies, The only good
things about the Acey burger is
the bag it comes in , w hi ch, unli ke the Mama Burger bag, does
not smel l.
The Big Mac , Big T. Bob 's Big ,
Big W, Square Burger, Jumbo,
Ranch Burger, and Sco tty Burger {all Disco versions of the
Spa r's famous Trailblazer}, have
pushed the once popular Deluxe
to the bottom of the Marquee .
The two-pattie craze which
swept the nation over a decade
?,IgCY'trearlY"1!trded 'it" for '1'/n> ' De-lu xe.' MacDonald's, originator o f
the Big Mac, never even' had Deluxe Burgers, A sli ce of k'Tlato,
on ion, and pickle, some lettuce,
usually shredded, a recent phenomenon ca ll ed "goop;" and the
burger, the pa tty, the meat-influx , make up the 1976 Delu xe in
almost any joint. In a nd around
the Olymp ia area, you can put
your li ps around the buns of one
such delight for between 44 cen ts
and $1.50,
Of the ten local contestants,
judged on size, flavor, meat, and
buns, there emerged three distinct classifications: the One-,
f;;Vo-, and Three-napkin burg'ers, For a Deluxe to make the
One-Napkin rating it must be
sold for under 80 cents and on ly
eaten by people who have lost
their minds,
The four th runner-up in the
One-Napkin competit ion is the
Arctic Circle's Acey Burger,
"With tomato , guaranteed 100 %
beef," priced at 44 cents, The
Pits. Ford Gilbreath, who photographed and ate at least half of
the 10 burgers here , began laughing hysterically when we opened
the Acey. With good reason,
The meat, not even centered on
the comparatively titanic bun,
measured a short three inches
across, and was very thin, It had
abso lut e ly no flavor. It was
memorable in its lack of flavor.
Chew on this newsprint and understand me with utmost clarity.
One pickle, 3 V. inches of thinly
sliced tomato, shredded lettuce
on the wi lt, · and a tablespoon of

white bread. It was the largest
bun we encountered, It looked
like a hit dog, One wanted to
scrape it up and bury it. The
Acey Burger was two inches high
and worthless after the heat left

burgers we didn't know enough
not to eat it.
The third runner-up is the

Lacey A & W' s Mama Burger.
The Mama Burger is scary. "This

Ford is right. The Mama Burger

as a point in its favor. For all
this it was still a bun above t he
Acey,

, Jack In the Box Deluxe. There is
nothing scary about Jack in the
. Box itself. There is nothing good
about Jack In the Box Deluxe
either. You hardly notice eating
it. Ford couldn't even laugh at it.
Just take it out of the bag, put it
'in your mouth, and leave. It
comes with a 4 inch bun,
lettuce,
3 1/, inches
of meat
you can taste enough to tell
what it is, the secret sauce, a
slice of tomato, two pickles, and
a yawn, for 44 cents.
The first runner-up in the OneNapkin competition is, believe it
or not, our own SAGA burger,
Our dear sweet 70 cent Deluxe.
SAGA burgers are wet guys: ~.

Leadership Group Criticized by Faculty

Wanted:S&A Board Members
by Lisa Fleming

by Steve Kruse
A Faculty Leadership Disappearing Ta'sk Force (DTF) has
been the cause of controversy
among faculty members of Evergreen during the past week .
The DTF was put together by
Academic Dean Will Humphreys
10, among other things, sel up a
one year committee on rules and
regulations for facu lty members
and to discuss questions or issues
regarding academic policy which
the faculty wish to be considered
by Ihe deans. But , after the DTF
charge was made public, some
faculty members felt it was covering too many decisions that
shou Id be made by a ll the faculty
and not a DTF picked by the administ ration.
Humphreys' original plan for
the DTF was to cover such areas
as : pinpointing long-range curricu lum commitments, assessing
ove rall hiring priorities, deter-

mining ways of defining faculty
load, making decisions on the
faculty retention policy, defining
ru les governing faculty assignment to programs and obligations to participate "outside one's
field, " and many issues dealing
with academic and personnel
policies. Th .. DTF was put together by Humphreys "to help
improve teaching, " and "help -get
the college moving in a sound
direction, " because of what he
feels has be'en a "considerable
drift within the faculty regarding
the direction and purpose of the
institution. "
Though many of the faculty
did not like the charge because
of its broad range, others were
concerned over the somewhat exclusive name of the DTF and the
way in which faculty were selected to serve on it. Some faculty didn't like the fact that it
was called a Faculty Leadership
Group, because it sounded like
the main decision-making body
of the faculty, which is untrue
because the faculty were picked

ully union, who was chosen to
be on the DTF, said "A Faculty
Leadership Group implies representation. This is not so if they
are picked by the Deans."
Even though Humphreys has
temporarily changed the name of
the DTF to Faculty Advisory
Group, he feels the idea of the
DTF has been misinterpreted.
"This is not a Faculty Senate,"
he said. "It is supposed to be faculty involvement in the development of teaching roles. The individuals chosen for the DTF were
done so on the basis of fields of
specialties, constituencies, experience or strong teaching capabilities."

Stephanie Coontz
by the deans and not the faculty
as a group.
Tom Rainey, head of the fac-

Because of the wide range the
DTF will cover, its possible implications, and a growing concern for faculty involvement in
the decision-making processes at
Evergreen, some of the members
of the DTF feel that it should be
rewritten or done differently.
Appointed DTF Chairwoman
Stephanie Coontz feels that the
name should be changed and the

charges rewritten. Coontz said
she would "gladly serve in a faculty leadership capacity" if she
were elected by the faculty.
'This group should not be the
substitute for a decision-making
body of faculty and it is extremely important for Evergreen
to develop channels for students
as well as faculty to have some
decision-making roles," she said .
Though it has become apparent that the faculty wish to have
more say in the deciSion-making
at Evergreen, not all the blame is
placed on the administration for
lack of such opportunities. According to Tom Rainey "The
Deans have filled the vacuum
that has been left by an escape
of responsibility of decisionmaking, but decisions on personnel matters should be open to all
who are affected by the decisions.
Faculty should have a direct
hand in making those decisions ."
Over the next couple of days
the leadership group will meet
with Humphreys to revise the
charges of the DTF to a more
agreeable format.

What if they tried to organize
a student government, but nobody participated?
Evergreen doesn't have a student government as such, but it
does have the Services and Activities Fees Review Board, otherwise known as S&A ... at least
it's supposed to have an S&A
Board.
The S&A Board holds some
authority on this campus, allocating fees obtained from each
student's tuition to fund student
groups and activities such as the
Bicycle Repair Shop, the Gay
Center, and KAOS.
Out of two meetings held this
year for prospective members,
no one showed up for one, and
only one person came to the
other, according to Constance
Palaia, S&A Board Executive
Secretary.
Students are normally selected
to the board by first signing up
on the Voluntary Service List.
The names are then fed into a
computer, and arranged on a
list. The executive secretary begins at the top of the list, and
interviews people until the six
positions open for students are
filled . There is also one facul>v
and one staff position.
"In the past, the service list
was sent to students before they
came to school." said Palaia.
"But this year they weren't, and
the lists are just sitting outside
the Information Center.
"I've done a lot of publicity,
but nobody's responded. I sent a
memo out to everybody, .and it
was supposed to be read to all
the programs. I told the Information Center, and put up a sign
by the stairs to announce a meeting . People are just not showing
up at all. Interest in the S&A

"In the past, Clabaugh had
control over most of the money.
He gave up this control to the
S&A Board voluntarily. Actions
of the S&A Board are still subject to the approval of the Board
of Trustees."
Palaia doesn't see the possibility of there being no S&A Board
as being very likely, however.
She is sure there will be more
applicants, but, "I don' t think I'll
have problems in having to narrow them down," she said.
The hardest positions to fill
have traditionally been those of
the staff and faculty. Faculty is
the toughest. Being on the board
does require a time commitment,
and Palaia said, "Faculty people
here spend so much time being
faculty, they don't have time for
it.
"There are people here who
really care about S&A money:'
said Palaia. "But most people
aren't aware of what's happening, whose money it is in the
first place. It's such a vague
thing."
What kind of people are needed
to serve on the S&A Board?
" My priorities are people who
have the time, who will make
the meetings," said Palaia. "People who can be real honest about
their priorities , and open to
other people's. I'd like to see
people on the board with real
creative ideas, who are excited
about it."
"People learn a lot "from being
on the board, and it's really

learn a lot about Evergreen."

A Faculty Leadership Disappearing Ta'sk Force (DTF) has

among faculty members of Evergreen during the past week .
The DTF was put together by
Academic Dean Will Humphreys
10, among other things, sel up a

What if they tried to organize
a student government, but nobody participated?
Evergreen doesn't have a student government as such, but it
does have the Services and Activities Fees Review Board, otherwise known as S&A ... at least
it's supposed to have an S&A
Board.
The S&A Board holds some
authority on this campus, allocating fees obtained from each
student's tuition to fund student
groups and activities such as the
Bicycle Repair Shop, the Gay
Center, and KAOS.
Out of two meetings held this
year for prospective members,
no one showed up for one, and
only one person came to the
other, according to Constance
Palaia, S&A Board Executive
Secretary.
Students are normally selected
to the board by first signing up
on the Voluntary Service List.
The names are then fed into a
computer, and arranged on a
list. The executive secretary begins at the top of the list, and
interviews people until the six
positions open for students are
filled . There is also one facul>v
and one staff position.
"In the past, the service list
was sent to students before they
came to school." said Palaia.
"But this year they weren't, and
the lists are just sitting outside
the Information Center.
"I've done a lot of publicity,
but nobody's responded. I sent a
memo out to everybody, .and it
was supposed to be read to all
the programs. I told the Information Center, and put up a sign
by the stairs to announce a meeting . People are just not showing
up at all. Interest in the S&A

before."
''I'd like to be able to hold a
board meeting this Thursday [today J." she said.
A quorum of four, not counting the non-voting secretary,
must be present to conduct business.
What would happen to the
money if there weren't enough
interested students to - form a
board ?
"I don't knqw," said Palaia .

"(Co-op) is a distinguishing characteristic of TESC ... and
provides invaluable education to students with increased service to
the community at large. All my experiences with the program
have been good." - Lois S. Marks, Yakima Co. Planning Dep't .
"I fee l real strongly about internship5. I thi nk it's crazy that Wf'
haven' t built them into more programs ... We (Caring for Chil dren contract) found that it was exceptionally valuable for students working in education, or the social sciences in general ...
Many of the program graduates have been offered (and taken)
jobs in the Olympia area day care centers w here they interned."
- Betsy Diffendahl, Evergreen Faculty.
You can also have a good internship experience, for example:

"In the past, Clabaugh had
control over most of the money.
He gave up this control to the
S&A Board voluntarily. Actions
of the S&A Board are still subject to the approval of the Board
of Trustees."
Palaia doesn't see the possibility of there being no S&A Board
as being very likely, however.
She is sure there will be more
applicants, but, "I don' t think I'll
have problems in having to narrow them down," she said.
The hardest positions to fill
have traditionally been those of
the staff and faculty. Faculty is
the toughest. Being on the board
does require a time commitment,
and Palaia said, "Faculty people
here spend so much time being
faculty, they don't have time for
it.
"There are people here who
really care about S&A money:'
said Palaia. "But most people
aren't aware of what's happening, whose money it is in the
first place. It's such a vague
thing."
What kind of people are needed
to serve on the S&A Board?
" My priorities are people who
have the time, who will make
the meetings," said Palaia. "People who can be real honest about
their priorities , and open to
other people's. I'd like to see
people on the board with real
creative ideas, who are excited
about it."
"People learn a lot "from being
on the board, and it's really
fun," she said. "I think vou can
learn a lot about Evergreen."
Anyone interested in serving
on the board, or finding out
more about it, is encouraged to
come to .a meeting from 1 - 4
p.m . in the Board of Trustees
room this afternoon, or to come
and talk to Palaia in CAB 305.

Going to Die

Laurel and Hardy , of long ago ."
Vonnegut loves Laurel a nd H ardy
because they did their best , and
"never failed to bargain in good
faith w ith their destinies," This
bargaining not love is
what Vonnegut has decided is
important in life . The rest of the
prologue is spent discussing vari ous relatives, who have either
died pathetically, miserably, and
meaninglessly , or, by inference,
are going to. He reve?ls that his
sister Alice, who died in the
1950's, has been the secret ideal
reader he has had in mind in all
of his books, and Slapstick is
haunted by her absence.
As you might expect , there is
not much to the story Vonnegut
has constructed from a daydream, It is wri tten as the mem o irs of Dr. Wilbur Daffodil -ll
Swain, a 100-year-old former
U, S, President ba rely livi ng in
the ruins of Manha tta n , "Wh o is
he rea ll y?" Vonnegut asks. "I
g uess he is m yself - experimen ting with being old ," But Vonne ,·
gut 's ex perimen t has failed -pat h e ti cally , mi se r a bl y, and
meaninglessly - partly because
the disconnected ideas he has
co m e up with this time are no

match for the fa ntasies of Cat's
that his poetry seminar at Evergreen had seriously decided that
Cradle a nd Slaughterhouse-5,
and partly because the reader is
Vonnegut's "chronosynclastic inpainfully aware that Vonnegut is
fundibulum," a sort of spacenot doing his best, like the
time warp, actually did exist,
lauded Laurel and Hardy, to
and that Vonnegut could travel

IS

Going to Die

Laurel and Hardy , of long ago ."
Vonnegut loves Laurel a nd H ardy
because they did their best , and
"never failed to bargain in good
faith w ith their destinies," This
bargaining not love is
what Vonnegut has decided is
important in life . The rest of the
prologue is spent discussing vari ous relatives, who have either
died pathetically, miserably, and
meaninglessly , or, by inference,
are going to. He reve?ls that his
sister Alice, who died in the
1950's, has been the secret ideal
reader he has had in mind in all
of his books, and Slapstick is
haunted by her absence.
As you might expect , there is
not much to the story Vonnegut
has constructed from a daydream, It is wri tten as the mem o irs of Dr. Wilbur Daffodil -ll
Swain, a 100-year-old former
U, S, President ba rely livi ng in
the ruins of Manha tta n , "Wh o is
he rea ll y?" Vonnegut asks. "I
g uess he is m yself - experimen ting with being old ," But Vonne ,·
gut 's ex perimen t has failed -pat h e ti cally , mi se r a bl y, and
meaninglessly - partly because
the disconnected ideas he has
co m e up with this time are no

match for the fa ntasies of Cat's
that his poetry seminar at Evergreen had seriously decided that
Cradle a nd Slaughterhouse-5,
and partly because the reader is
Vonnegut's "chronosynclastic inpainfully aware that Vonnegut is
fundibulum," a sort of spacenot doing his best, like the
time warp, actually did exist,
lauded Laurel and Hardy, to
and that Vonnegut could travel
whom the book is dedicated.

about the effect the movie ho use

It is hard for some people to dissociate NEON from its usual
sleazy advertising function, but
jf you look beyond the screaming letters in a TATTOOING sign
you should be able to see the
beauty in this unusual type of
glass sculpture.
Exhibits coordinator Plex
Barry, who instigated the NEON
show, is disgusted with the philistine negative reactions to the
exhibition. ' Tm fed up w ith
these sappy organic poets," she
fumed . "Here we are all trying
to be groovy and get back to the
grass, man , and the only thing
that would make these morons
happy is if someone painted the
side of a fucking sheep ."
She bega n to breathe easier
and went on calm ly. "A friend
of mine said that he first understood the beauty of NEON when
he saw a film of Tokyo at night ,
and because he couldn't read the
signs he was able to judge them
in a detached way. 1 thought if I
put NEON in a gallery setting,
where one is more accustomed to
view things objectively, that
people wouldn't get screwed up
by the word TATTOOING."
NEON is fading fast from the
scene. The crews of six to ten
people who ran the NEON shops
through the 1950's have almost
all vanished, the market is decreasing rapidly , and few people
will go through the four-year apprenticeship it takes to become a

saw it . Unfortunately, "Dippity"
was torn down years ago and replaced with a sex less plexiglass
sign lit from behind with boring
old fluorescent tubes.
And that's the big problem.
NEON is fast disappearing from
our lives. But there are some
people concerned wi th sav ing
what 's left of the NEON , and
who are desperately trying to
keep the dying craft of glassbending alive . Two of these people are Jim Nostdal and Chris
Schambacher, who have brought
several . pieces from their extensive NEON coll ections for displa y in the Neo -Nart Gallery
and at strategic locations aro und
the Evergreen campus.

by Stan Shore
From the outside it looks like an old
church, but the interior is that of a 168
seat cinema, The proverbial silver screen
hangs in front of where the Baptist's full
body immersion baptismal tub used to be.
In place of pews, the slanted floor has
been arranged with chairs, Downstairs, a
la Haroard Exit, cinema enthusiasts are
playing chess, and chatting about the film
showing above them, The lounge is large
and comfortable, with free coffee and .
herbal tea available as well as - for
money - fresh pastries and an assortment of moderately organic goods from
the old fashioned candy counter.
But no matter how enchanting the
lounge, it is the films themselves which
are most important. This theatre shows
foreign films and revivals of American

classics, the sort of film one associates
with Evergreen's own Friday Nite Films or
Academic Film Series: Seven Beauties,
The Third Man, King of Hearts or H~r­
old and Maude.
Best of all, the theatre is located in
Olympia, or would have been, had the
Olympia City Council not intervened,
At present, the theatre remains the
costly dream of Nancy Duncan, who
bought the church on Sawyer Street in
August, after selling her house in Seattle
and moving to Tumwater. It is a long
story why the theatre, once approved by
the Planning Commission, City Council
and Board of Adjustments, is now stalled
and unable to get the building permit
needed to finish renovations.
Duncan owns not only the Church,
which is zoned commercial-retail, but also

the house behind it, which is zoned residential. On September 21, she went before
the three member Olympia City Council
to request rezoning of the property behind
the church so that a parking lot could be
built there. By a two to one vote the
council approved.
Later that week , Duncan went before
the Board of Adjustment to ask for a per mit to do the extensive remodeling needed
inside the building. Since the commercialretail zone does not specifically allow or
preclude movie theatres, the board had
leeway in considering the proposal. They
followed the lead of the City Counci l and
approved the remodeling, as long as the
standard adequate parking fa cilities were
made available.
Everything seemed set for work to begin on the theatre something that Duncan
was and is quite anxious to do considering the $2,000 per month she says it costs
her not to have the theatre open. The
City Council is required to have two different "readings" of its rulings before they
become effective. The first reading was on
September 28. It was uneventful.
The second reading was on October 5,
at which time Olympia Mayor Torn Allen
announced that he had decided to change
his vote on the Duncan rezoning. Commissioner Kenneth Kisor followed suit,

making the new vote 3 - 0 against. The
councilmen cited the public outcry agai nst
the theatre, the traffic congestion, and the
possibility that the theatre would show
pornographic films as the reasons for their
reversal. Earlier that day the councilmen
had been besieged by phone calls protesting the theatre and were also presented
with a petition of protest. The petit ion
was signed by 18 persons living in the im mediate vicinity of the theatre.
On October 2, Duncan returned to the
board with petitions totalling 300 signa tures, some collected at Evergreen, in
favor of the theatre. Unlike the first petition , few if any of the signatures were
from persons living in close proximity toJ
the proposed theatre. The council stu ck to
its refusal. sugges ting that it would rec o nsider only if a large number of people in
the immediate loca le supported the theatre
'Tve been to seven meetings," Duncan
said, incredulously. A mature red-haired
woman, Duncan talks about the legal has sles she is having with regret, but also
with determination.
.
"On October 27, at 1 :30," she explained,
"I am going back before the Board of Adjustments." It is her last recourse short of
a court fight. If the board okays her re -

.Curriculum "Trial Balloon" Launched
by Jim Wright
A Trial Balloon will be loosed on campus today. Students are urged to keep
shotguns handy ...
The "trial balloon" is a rough sketch of
proposed annual programs for next year
and is intended to precipitate student reaction to faculty proposals. It is not a
final curriculum draft, Instead, it is a
means to solicit student input toward final
proposals for next year's curriculum, The
final selection will be made by October 29
by the academic deans, who will consider
the student response in addition to other
factors such as faculty availability, campus resources, and expected student interests,
A questionnaire devised by the student
volunteer Curriculum Consultative _Group
in conjunction with Academic Dean Rob
Knapp asks students to respond to three
questions based on the annual program
proposals:
1) Have you found a proposal related
to your interests, needs, desires?; 2) If so,
how could that proposal be improved to
make it really terrific?; 3) If not, what
are the interests, needs, desires you would
most like to work on next year?
The deadline for student response to the
proposals is Friday, October 22.
Curriculum planning efforts for next
year have been greatly accelerated this fall
in order to meet a November 5 deadline
for submission of the completed text to
the printers. The published Catalog Supplement, containing the curriculum, is expected to be out in January,
Evergreen's curriculum was drastically
revised last year by the Long Range Curriculum Plannil)g Disappearing Task Force
(DTF) follOWing wide scale student dissatisfaction over faculty domination of
curriculum planning, This dissatisfaction
led to last fall's all -campus Teach-in protest, held to educate community members
about curriculum planning and governance.
Citing a need for more predictability in
curriculum while maintaining an interdisciplinary approach to education, the Long
Range Curriculum DTF proposed that

Evergreen's curriculum be broken down
into three general categories - Basic Coordinated Studies, Annual Programs, and
Advanced Interdisciplinary Specialty
Areas,
Interdisciplmary learning was defined as
learning which "emphasizes the unity of
knowledge without isolating it into discrete diSCiplinary packages," and thu~ is
"dictated by the nature of a pressing problem" rather than along strict disciplinary
lines, The committee also placed a high
priority on "eliminating racism and sexism
from the life and work of the college"
through curricular offerings.
Annual programs, comprising an approximate 40 % of next year's curriculum,
include new or experimental proposals
(student-originated programs, for -instance), responses to temporary academic
opportunities including foreign study situations, and "backstop" programs, intended
to fill cracks in other areas of the college's
curriculum. The Trial fjalloon deals specifically with faculty proposals for such
annual programs,
Proposed annual programs include:
"English Theatre: From Script to Stage to
London," offering academic background
and preparation in theatre arts, dramatic
production, and travel to England during
Spring quarter to observe English Theatre
firsthand; "Agriculture - Past and Future, " approaching farming as an academic subject and including research in agronomy, anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, sociology,
and soil science. It will explore the issue
of subsistence and family farming vs.
corporate agribusiness; "Exploration in
20th Century Music," including electronic
music production, study of different musical styles "from Blood, Sweat &t Tears to
Bartok," and student participation in a
wind orchestra; "Voices of the Third
World," utilizing "a case study approach"
in analyzing the development of the Third
World and the effects of independence
upon Third World countries; "Studies in
Greece: RUrill Towns and Villages," offering possible travel and study in Greece.
Basic Coordinated Studies will comprise

Dean Rob Knapp pauses as a student offers an idea for generating stu dent interest in curriculum planning,
approximately 20% of Evergreen's future
curricular offerings, and according to the
DTF, are designed "particularly to introduce freshman and sophomore students to
Evergreen's approach to leaming."Through
such programs, the committee recognized
Evergreen's "unconventional nature" and
attempted to provide for a transition into
its unique educational atmosphere.
To date, however, proposals for Basic
Coordinated Studies programs are even
more tentative than those for annual programs. Examples include "Health - IndiVidual & Community," attempting to define what "being healthy" means; "Nature
& Society," including social and natural
sciences, math and communications skills;
and a very tentative proposal - "Understanding the Whole Earth Catalog," challenging the individual "to conduct his
own education, find his own inspiration,
shape his own environment, and share his

adventure with whomever is interested."
The final 40% of next year's curriculum
will consist of Advanced Interdisciplinary
Specialty Areas, defined by the committee
as a sequential and stable set of offerings
proViding advanced students with a predictable curricular pathway towards a
specific academic goal. Advanced Specialty
Areas were selected by the DTF "princi pally on the basis of a conjunction of fac ulty interests and strengths with those of
Evergreen students," apparent from past
curricular experience.
Examples of Advanced Interdisciplinary
Specialty Areas include "Management and
the Public Interest," "Marine Sciences and
Crafts ," and "Northwest Native American
Studies . " Two other areas - "Commum cations, " and "European Studies, " were
considered but dropped due to lack of fac uhy and resources committed to these
areas .
