The Evergreen State College
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
The Third World community at The Evergreen State College would like to
take this opportunity to welcome you to campus. t~e hope Evergreen can
provide you with the atmosphere which will further develop your intellectual and personal growth.
I am sure you are familiar with the statement, Knowledge is power.
The knowledge of what resources are available to you as a student at
Evergreen is equally important as the knowledge you will attain from
your studies in college. This was the concept behind organizing this
survival manual. Ms. Robin West, a third world sister and a recent
graduate of Evergreen, was the first author of this manual. She has
worked diligently to put together information rangin9 from daycare
centers to job referral in order to assist you in your survival both at
Evergreen and the greater Olympia community. Please read this manu~l
carefully, for I am sure you will find this information to be helpful to
you.

rooms 3204 and 3233; our phone is 866-6034. Please feel free to come by
if you have concerns, questions or just need a comfortable place to

TESC RESOURCES
As a new student at Evergreen, your first experience here may be a very
cold, uninformative and unfavorable one. That should not be surprising
to you. Evergreen is a typical bureaucracy of higher education run to
accomodate and fill the needs of middle class white Americans. It has
at various times been called by Third World folks such names as Everwhite
State College, Evergreen Country Club and Hallowed Halls of Hippie Haven,
that means a comfortable place for white folks, but for a person of color,
it can be a very different experience.
Probably the most valuable advice we can give you, especially as a new
student, is to get to know what resources are available here to help you and
then learn how to use them, to get the things you want or need.
If you have not become familiar in your first quarter here with the Third
World Coalition, the Financial Aid Office, the library, Media Loan, Splulabs and Mini Media, for example, then it would be safe to say you have
shortchanged yourself and are missing out on some of the things that can
make life easier for you here at Evergreen. These resources are all explained more thoroughly in this manual.
The Third World Coalition is something all Third World students should
know about and become a part of. The Third World Coalition became an
addition to the Evergreen Community during the 1973-74 academic year.
People of color began to seek ways of implementing changes in the system
to improve the quality of life for Third World people in this institution.
Traditionally, colleges and universities deal with this so called "problem"
through "Minority Affairs" bureaucracies and "Ethnic Studies" departments as
a way to meet the needs of Third World people. Because there was little
confidence in these traditional offices or departments, Third World students
here designed a program which was more consistent with college philosophy
by involving people of color in the decision making process at Evergreen.
During the past five years, the Coalition has experienced considerable
growth. The name has changed from the Minority Coalition to the Non-White
Coalition and finally to the Third World Coalition, reflecting the changes
in consciousness we have undergone.
THIRD WORLD STUDENT OFFICES
The Third World Coalition
The Third World Coalition would like to take this opportunity to welcome
all people of color to The Evergreen State College. The Coalition is an
administrative office designed to assure that all Third World students have
complete access to equal educational opportunities at Evergreen.

ACADEMICS
Registering in volves being prepared. As soon as you receive the catalog
of program offerings, read it over carefully, find the programs that interest
you, and write down questions you have about the programs (its direction,
emphasis, i s it highly technical, involve a lot of reading and time, is
there room for indi vidual variances and projects, etc?). Also, come
prepared with questions for the faculty of the programs about their
philosophy of teaching; does it involve learning from books, from people,
or from experience, are there strict rules, will the faculty allow for
individual student diffe rences, will the program be student directed, or
completely contro lled by the faculty, etc? If you aren't comfortable
enough yet to go directly to the faculty and ask them questions, the
Third Worl d Coalition wi ll be doing some academic advising.
Next, bring the catalog and your questions to the Academic Fair, or arrange
with the faculty co-ordinator for an interview. Because the program
descriptions in the cata log are out of date, make sure you understand what
the program will actually be like as it is visualized now.
When you've found a program you want to be in, have your green registration
card (available at the Registrar's Office), signed by the faculty coordinator
or faculty sponsor of your program. Return the green card to the Registrars,
keep your receipt, and pay your tuition and fees by the date on the bill.
You are now an Evergreen student and almost ready to start school. The only
thing left to do is buy a red plastic official Evergreen portfolio case in
which to keep all your i mportant papers and records.
Also, you shouldn't have any trouble getting into a program that is closed,
because every program ha s a Third World quota t hey would like to meet, and
they'll make room for you .
The evaluation process at the end of each quarter should involve discussion
of what an evaluation is, its significance, and how to write one. You will
probably write a self-evaluation, faculty evaluation, and program evaluation.
Before any evaluation becomes official, arrange an i nterview with your
faculty to discuss, exch ange and alter the evaluations. Always insist on
the right to read and disc uss the evaluations before they are turned in as
the official ones. Make sure the faculty's evaluation of you includes
everything you want it t o in clude: positive statements, about your abilities,
achievements, and your potential. You may want the faculty to say something
about your work in terms of A,B,C, or 0 quality, so that potential
employers will have a better i dea of what you're about when they review
your credentials.
Student Involvement in Curri culum Planning:
As Third World people, we are annually involved i n the process of
curriculum planning 9 tryin g to insure that Evergreen's programs are
balanced with information by, about and for Third World people. I say
we are involved in this process annually, because we have yet to receive
any assurances from t he admin istration that curriculum will by anything
but white and middle-class, whether it be conservative, liberal or
radical. What usuall y happens i s that Third World students will get
