The Evergreen State College
Marketing TESC
By Ellen Kissman
The enrollment problems Evergrttn
faces righl now can generally be fit into
two categories:
the clarification
of
Evergrttn' s imag,, and the selling of that
image: In addressing the latter aspect of
this two-fold problem, the Enrollment
DTF charged President Evans, (and the
rest of the Evergreen
Issue
community)
to
mobilize all availablt human and financial
rHOul"Cfl to get out there and
Sell,
SELL. However, the DTF also recognized
thal developing and directing auch a
marketing campaign would be a formidable job. They cn,ated the Public Relations
Advisory Group, PRAG, to "hear the
primary ttSpOnslbility for coordinating
the (College's) entire public relalions
campaign," (EDTF, p. 7).
President Evans was raponslble, under
the conditions of the DTF report, for
appointing
a Facllitator to chair the
group, for seeing that a professional
marketing consullant was hittd, and, with
the Via-Praidents,
for finding ways "to
devole as large a budg,rt ;u pouib1o to
this public relations
and recruitment
effort," (EDTFp.7). Duke Kuehn, SpedaJ
Assialant to the Praident, wu appointed
Fadliu.tor, and a budg,rt of SU,000 was
speedily allocated to PRAG. The raponsibility for hiring the marketing conouliant
has now beendesignated to PRAG ibelf.
PRAG memben are: Burt Guttman,
faculty(Lab 3014); Rick H ... , graphla
lsem 2150); Judy Annia, Director of
Information ServicH(Lib 3114); Susan
Smith, libruy Media Coordinator (Lib
1301); Janet Oliver, community member;
Arruoldo Rodriguez, Director of Admis,siona (Lib 1224)0 and Judy Hyslop,
student (KAOS, CAB 305),
..n,
An impromptu interview with Judy
Hyslop, the studen1 appolnnttt to the
Group, provided an inlr.'ating _..
live on EV<rgrftn'a atlmtpli to 1101wits
enrollment and public relations problems.
Judy (and Arnaldo Rodriguez) joined
PIV.G Just before lts aecond meeting. The
DTF originally did not call for a lludmt
member of the Advisory Group at all.
Kuehn, as chalrpenon, quickly recognized
the need for an official channel for
student input. He called for nominea al
the Mard, 8 Porum, l1utt students wen,
nominated; Judy was chOlffl, She alts no
idea why they decided upon hor. She
"fttls ii is an honor to be chooen," and is
taking her commitment as n,p,_,.tatiw
exlremely .. rioualy. In fact, one cl her
major cona,ms is that on • committee of
eight charged to addressatuclentl!Jtl'OIJment she is the only one.
The first issue PRAG dedded to addren
was
the hiring of the Marketing
Consultant. So far they have lftft one
firm, Kraft-Smith of Seattle. According to
Judy, their prnenu.tion conoisted cl an
extended account of their Ronald McDonald Howe public relatlona ......,..,._
('We11 let that spuk for ibelf," she
declared,) and an outline of a cainpalgn
dHigned for Evergrun.
Part of the
campaign .wu a SU,000 one-month long
radio "blitz." Remember that PRAG',
total budpt amounts lo SU,00. When
questioned about this discrepancy In
ocale, the Kraft-Smith n,pramtatlve aaJd
the firm had not considered PRAG's
budget constraints.
Kraft-Smith is bla-Their p,_.,u.tlon
left Judy and othen slightly overwhelmed
about the appropriaof Kraft-Smith's
idua, as well as the fact that they •_,.,
being hllhiY consldettd," Sinct that time,
two more inlerviewo haw beenscheduled,
one with Richard Harvey of Sound
Marketing (a considerably smaller operation) and another with an as-yet-unnamed
public reletlons firm.
Perhaps mon, important, the ~u.tion brought home to PRAG members
that a marketing consulu.nt ,-els 10
know what s/he is marketing. PRAG will
have to synthesize some kind of slatemenl
that "is" Evergreen's image, before a
consultant can design an appropriate
campaign.
But the lime constraints imposed by
both the Enrollment DTF and the CPE
report are real and p,-ing. PRAG has to
move quickly,
choose a marketing
consultant, and begin the actual public
relations work, if mrollment figures are
to improve by this fall. Yet Judy
qu .. lions whether they can effectively
deal with the problems they face, if they
arr moving too quickly to carefully
examlM their own decision-making prer
cas, Evergrttn, and its image-whatever
that ma, be.she is also worried that th ...
time constraints could be used as an
excuse to limit input from from
non.PRAG community members. Although all PRAG meetings an, now open
to anyone, an example of this conflict
between efficiency and openness is
Kudln's caution, quoted in the moat
l'U'ent N«wsletta: "we've got a lot of
work lo do and we may haw to ask
visiton 10 hold their comments... and
share the?,' individually
with group
memben ...
Judy's response to this su.tanent an
adamant, " ... you can't cl°"" the door on
thpeople ... " She explained that the
decision-making proceu PRAG wW u,e
hasnot yet been demmined, By limiting
immediate responHS from others at
meetings, PRAG is lnhormtly confining
that input to aflff.lhNact ,..._
10
deci1lon1 made exclualvely by PRAG
memben, Judy is pajnful)y awan cl the
<lfficult jugs)ing act PRAG muot perform
to both incorporate community Ideas and
get something done wihin their time
constraints. Her IIOlution: people ahould
"pus me not .. at mtttlnp
if they have
aonething urpnt to say, I'll - that their
points an broqht up. After all, they can'
atop aw from talking."
Sina PRAG is ~ the _,tial
and all-«ncompuaing tult of darilying
Evergreen'• image, Judy fftla strongly that
"PRAG can not makeany decision that
w,, don'I f.,I comfortable with opening to
the atu dent body," for raponMS, ii not
more 1uba1antial inpul. She also fftl, that
PRAG should nol implement any decision
that 1tudenl1 don't fttl comfortable
with.
Any image change, have to
onglnate within the community as a

by awltching "moduln" to "cm,,-.") The

a reflection of the real feelings of
oludents, faculty, and staff. ~ student
rt!pttlt!'fltative, she is anxious to hear
people's ideas, and to solicit student
partldpallon.
She can be ruched by
leaving mnsaga in KAOS's mail box in

Evergreen
Alive and Growing?
by Pam Du~nberry
Most people realiu that Evergreen'•
enrollment figures are not as high as they
should be. According to original projections made bdott TESC was built, the
college should have over 12,000 students
by now. Current enrollmml (fall 1979) is
2322, What hoppened7
Nt!t!dless to say, the original projections
went wrong when the baby boom kveled
off. In addition, there was no way the
people moking the proj«tions could take
into accounl young people's changing
attitudes toward higher education as the
Seventies wore on. How could they gu...
that high Khoo! ,enion would be more
intert!S.led in cal'ftr--oriented
cun"icub than
in gffleral liberal arts eduation7
Two years after Evergreen opened, in
1973, enrollment began lo level off. The
L,gislature began lo threaten E""'l!Jfth
with closu~.
The leveling trend continued until 1976,
when the college n,ached ill all-time high
enrollment
of 2636 students.
Then in
1977, total enrollment actually declined
for the first timt. And last fall ii dropped
much more-to 2322 students. Enrollment
has not bftn that low sin« fall of 1973.
(Stt figure 1.)
the alarming fact about the enrollment
trend, Duke Kuehn, father of these
statistic,,
points out, is that every
breakdown of th• figures (by region. ago,
!lf'X, prior education, etc.) shows decline.
with t~ ex«ption of some out-of--1;tate
figures. Most significant is that the
number of entering ~tu<Wnts from every
Washington CC'lu.,,y has dropprNi since
1976. (Sff

No one realized that the situation was
this bad. Had th..., figures bttn availabl•
!K>Oner, Kuehn rea10ned, we would be in
even more serious tTouble than we are
now. Perhaps the Council for Post-s«:ondary Education would not have rTCOm·

perhaps we woukt not

Teach-In '75/
Symposium '79
by Doug Riddels
November 19, 1975:
145 students and faculty march to VicePresident and Provost Ed Kormondy's
office and prnrnt a ~titian demanding a
two-day moratorium, "ulHng off classes
and school business, so that students,
faculty and staff can hold teach-ins for
the purpose of discussing the processes of
restructuring, governance and planning at
Evergreen." The petition also demanded
that any restructuring of the "Evergrttn
program" only happen after maximum
student involvement in discussion and
decision-making, and threatened a student
strike if the demands were not met.
Students were respondin~ to a lack of
u,volvement in governance and curriculum planning. The administration and
some faculty, spurred by enrollment
figures beneath projections, and a critical
CPE report, were discussing far-reaching
changes in Evergre-en's structure, possibly
resulting in greater structure and hierarchy. No student input had been sought.
November 24 and 25, 1975:
The Evergreen community gathers for
two days of education and discussion of
problems facing Evergreen, and its future
direction.Meeting
in small groups for
intensive discussion and as a whole for
receiving background information and
trying to decide on courses of action, the
community proclaims its right to dKide
its structure and purpose.
RHu.hs:
Besides the difficult-to-measure sense of
community and solidarity, and the feeling
of empowerment felt by students th.at
they could initiate such an event. there
were other, more concrtte, results.
The most important results were the
formation of the Long-Range Curriculum
DTF and th, COG lil DTF. Th•
Long-Rang• Curriculum DTF rq,on hu
given us our present curricular structure
of Basic Programs, Annual Programs,and
Specialty Arns. Whatever th, flaws of
the report or of the-prttent curriculum, it
was the first attempt to provide a ~la.nee
of continuity and spontaneity, of structure and flexibility; and it was the result
of a DisappearingTask Fora, made up of
students, faculty and staff-all of Evergreen's constituencies.
(Naturally, the
only portion of the report not impl~
mentNi was the recommendation regan:f.
ing student involvement in curriculum
planning.)
The COG Ill DTF rewrot•
th•
Covenant on Governance and the Socia.I
Contract,
the two chief governance
documents at Evergreen. The old Sounding Board became the Evergreen Council,
with all of the Sounding Board's functions
(a forum for campus issues, and the first
step in the formal grievance proadure),
as well as the power to review the charge,
composition and results of DTFs, and to
take votes of confidence, no confide.nee or
censure against members of the Evergreen
community. The COG Ill document also
included the statement that "Decision•
must be made only after consultation and
coordination with students, faculty and
staff who are both affect•d by and
interested in the issues ... " The violation of
this article, as well as other parts ol the
COG document and the Social Contract,
by the administration was one impetus for
the current Symposium.
Ma,ch 8, 1979:
Several hundred students, and some
facuity, gather on Red Square to hear
about. and discuss, the progress of faculty
study groups, formed by Provost Byron
Youtz. These groups, spurred by critically
declining enrollment and anothe-r CPE
report. are discussing far-reaching changes
tn Evergrttn's structure and curriculum,
possibly mulling in greater structure and
hierarchy, graduation requirements, freshman requirements,
requirements
for
internships and individual contracts, "simplified .. tunscripts,
and much, much
more. No studient input has bttn sought.
The 1tudmts on Red Square u.nani-
mously supported the calling of a two- or
three-day "moratorium"
or "festival"
(later renamed a "Symposium"), and a
Symposium Planning Group spent the
next month planning the Symposium,
scheduled for April 10 and 11.
April 10 and 11, 1979:
The Symposium Planning Group proposes the following:
Two days of prrsentations, workshops
and celebration, where the entire community can learn about and discuss the
issues we face. Out of the Symposium
will come student study groups; some
will parall,I th• faculty study groups,
others will deal with non-curricular issues
of special concern to students.
The workshops
will not only give
students a chance to intensively discuss
the issues; they will also let the study
groups (and the administration) know
where the students (and other community
members) stand on issues such as
graduation requirements, restrictions on
individual contracts, or curricular prNiictability, Participants in workshops will fill
out a questionnaire which will be used by
the study groups, as well as giving a focus
to the workshop.
The proposed schedule starts at 9:00
(or 9,30). Tuesday, April 10, with an
all-campus meeting devoted to giving
necessary background information and
reviewing the Symposium's schNiule.
Lunch, from 11 , 00 to 12, 30, will be
filled with music and fun. lnfonnation
tables and short presentations will be
available for th<Ke who att interated.
Tuesday aft,moon will be devoted to
workshops. Th,re will be two seuions of
workshops, uch an hour and a half long.
Workshop topics will be:
I) definition of deg,'ftS (B.S., B.A.):
graduation requittmmtt
2) curricular
predictability;
career
patthways
3) individual contracts; intttmhips
4) advising: undentandabl~ curriculum: freshperson n,quittments: problem,
of entry
S) Evergree:n's image; marketing; outreach
6) social space and activities; athletics
7) part-time and evening studies
8) student involvement
in decisionmalting
9) student
involvement
in curriculum
planning.
There will also be workshop/seminan
on the history and current status of
issues, such as the results of the 1975
teach-in, a critic.al analysi1 of the ccx;
docum,nt, and th• ri.. and fall of the
Ev,rgrttn Council.
The second day will start with another
(or perhaps two) session(s) of workshops,
including the nine issues--oriented ones
above,
as well as "empowerment"
workshops, to enable community members to more effectively take part in
deci1lon-making;
these could include
group process and propos.al-writing workshops, for instance.
After these workshops, we will gather
for the last all-campus meeting. Workshop faci1itaton will summarize (briefly)
th• rHUlts of workshops, a schedul, of
future events will be reviewed, and study
groups, corresponding to the workshops,
will be formed.
Short inspirational
speeches may be tastefully in5ttted into
the schedule, as time pttmitt. Propos.als
for study groups other than those already
formed can be made by anyone at this
final mttting and will be formed If th,re
is sufficient interest.
The Planning Group hopes to offer
Part-time and Evening Studies work.shops
in the evenings these two days, as well.
Wednesday will ,nd with a dana,/party /celebration.
A fitting end to an
important and necessary event.
Rnults:
The Symposium is only a first step. It is
up to all of us to Stt that the- energy,
enthusiasm and ideas ~rated
at the
Symposium are channeled into constructive and empowering ends.
The Jackal and the
Whip-poor-will
by Bob Dash
ln an effort to introduce each other
during Outdoor Education's first seminar
meeting this winter, someone suggested
U\llt ,ach person Identify h,nelf with an'
animal whose first letter matched that of
her first name. One student said, "Janie
Jackal." The seminar leader, sitting a few
spatc,s down, offered. 'Willi Whip-poorwill." The Jackal and th• Whip-poor-will.
Jani• Diepenbrock and Willi Unsoeld.
Two special friends who are now dead.
The first l I,amed of Willi Unsoeld was
in a film called "Th• American Wilderness" made by NBC, Energetic and
friendly, he described how "when a
musicologist rapels down a 150 foot shttr
rock he has a new perspective on life."
Next I read about him in Americans on
Everest, by James Ullman. Certain
descriptions were especially vivid: "That
Unsoeld was a man of action, no one
would deny. Not only would this
philosopher of th• mountains add strength
of lung and limb to our group, h,'d bring
the spirit as well .... Few in the world
looked to th• mountains with eyes as full
as his."
I read these words with excitement, for
l had recently d,cid,d
to tak, his
program. Though l'd only ...,, words and
pictures, and h, wn still tru-tt thousand
mil'5
away, l knew he was a sped.al
!Neher, on• who might well justify my
transfer to Evergttm.
Sina, h, had climbed in th• Himalayu
several times, urned deg,'ftS in physla,
theology and phil010phy, worked u a
P,aa, Corps Admlnlstrator in Nepal for
flw Y'"", beer, an uoiltant mlnilter of a
Methodist church, and helped organlu
the Northwat Outward Bound School, l
expected a dignlfled, hard-te>-approach,
wile man. l wu atunnod at the September
Academic Fair when I found a Jovial,
entertaining clown. full of overblown
~tlons,
1torles and chucltles. ln,tantl y I wu relaxed;
ln1tHd of
exploiting the awe that I felt for him, thio
52 year old "child" did his bat to be at
my lnel.
I didn't know Janie very w.U, although
last No~bu
I spent a ....bnd with her
and othen in the Olympia IW'Veying a
RARE II land propooal. She mnalned
"quiet, not ahy," and improaed mo with
her physical 1trength and commitment to
fut in the mountainl. The 110COnd
night
before ..., fell ul""I' I asked her about
forty dlfm,,nt qu .. tions, 'What'• your
favorit• book7 ls there a Gocll ... " So
distant and •luslv• (yet obvious) wu her
strength: I wu determined to undentand
it. Finally Jani•'• tone changed and &h,
began to mJoy answering the quHtions.
Though w, didn't tallt much after that,
there remained a mutual ,...peel and
amusement ~een
us. A week before
the trip to Rainier &h• told m• of her
plans to spend several week, hiking
through doatttsin Utah this spring. 'Thu
school busin.., can get 10 removed and
int,lloctual. Somettm .. I need to ,truggl,.
using my who!, ..if."
When our mountain habitat group met
for th• lint tim• in January, I didn't
rom,mber that Mt. Rainier would be
treacherous in the winter, One, who had,
warned, "We have so little time to
prepare for so big a trip. That mountain
will be scary. Th,re' s a fifty-fifty chana,
that someone could get hurt, and an
equally high chance that someon• could
be killed." From that moment l f,ared th•
mountain, and was thel'ffore unable to
avoid it. Were I to do so I'd miss a
chance to face a strange power I could
hardly compreh,nd.
So along with the crevasse rescue,
equipment, rope and geology workshops,
internally l confronted the possibility that
I might die on the winter mountain. I felt
it was important that I do this, for I
would soon enter a world where anything
might happen. l imagined mys<lf hov,ring
beyond the Milky Way, surv,ying th•
entire Universe as ~ might do on a
mountaintop. Th,n l considered my lif•
and death next to each of those stars,
black holes, and nam,Iess plan,ts. Th,
conept of ·1." despite penonal .. lfish
desires for friends, chall"'-!les, and life
was in this perspective actually quite
ludicrous. Back on ,anh, I loved who l
was and how I had gotten there. With no
regrets for a llf• w,ll spent, I figured an
ultimat• selfl.. snns would be to gently
surrender mytdf to fate. The,e attitudes
offtted a sudden rel...., from a blind,
st.rained urgency to ignore wh.at must one
day happen. When I wu capatble of
lttling th... attitudes deep within, my life
bocam• lighter and more 1pontanoo111.
Moro often however, the undontanding
wu In my h,ad,
an Intellectual
approdatlon not llk,ly to hold when truly
lltl"Oloed.
The lint days of our long-awaited time
on Rainier went 10 well that I forgot
about thoae thoughts and fee!Inp. Sun,
- had apmt the lint throe days in a
blizzard (two full ones In 1110w cav .. ),
but our spirits remained hish, our food
and clothing plentiful. Next day w• had
advanced higher up the mountain and
found plenty of time to relax in throe
straight days of 1un.
The night before our planned move to
eatabll&h High Camp, I awok• to • dark
cabin whoae quiet was occa1ionally
interrupted
by melodious snoring. I
thought of how 1moothly the climb had
prograaed; if we got just one or two
more days of tho remarltabl, w,ather w,
would 1uroly male• the summit. 11,en I
realized how far away any thoughts about
dying wm,, With mild 1uccns I IIUtthed
for and rKOvettd my earlier acceptance.
11,en I felt spoiled that w• had bttn so
lucky: appar,ntly
nobody ,1.. had
reached th• summit yet thi1 year. But h,re
we were, close to an "easy" (nearly one
v•rtlc.al mil• remaining) Jaunt up and
back. 'Thu ii too ,asy," l thought. '1t's
like a mountain in 1umme:r. Where is the

calling for deteriorating conditions. W•
were forced into our tents for a long day
and night, constantly pounded by hish

The next day, we broke camp and
headed back towards Camo Muir. The

down through the Emmons Glacier lcaall
towards Cadaver Gap. After two houn of

the longer, unfamiliar, crnasw-riddm

would try the more clittct route through
the Gap. 'What about avalanch ... Willi,"
I asked. 'The wind has bttn strong

to stay at Muir while my friends went on

intended to climb the mountain and pay
my respects to Willi. Instead of passing

here I was, out of shape, with a painful
knee, just able to stare up at the beautiful
rocky ridge in the moonlight and let a few
tears fall.
I had to smile a little as I went back to
bed. Willi would have appreciated the
situation. "You can't fool the mountain,
pilgrim," was a favorite line of his from a
movie. As I lay in the cold stone hut
trying to find sleep, I remembered the
piea-by-piece unfolding of the Unsoeld
legend, and the final realization that Willi
was a great man; he workNi harder and
longer than almost anyone I have ever
known. Sure, he was bom with a natural
strength and a certain sparkle-but
then,
so are we all. The talent he was born with
didn't create th• Ieg,nd. What h, did with
what he had made him som,thing special.
My lint real glimpse of his talent and
strength came after I had spe.nt almost a
y,ar at Evergreen. I thought I was pretty
tough. Ten y,an in L.A. and tim• in
Alask.t and Viet Nam had made me su~
of mys,If and of my judgm,nt.
At
Ev,rgrttn, l started playing handball and
after awhile I got pretty good. I h,ard
that Willi was hot, but I had Sttn him
and figured he was a littl• old.
Once l was scheduled to play him I
became concerned. After all, I figured he
was past his prim• and beating him lilt,
that would be a ch,ap shot. Wh,n I told
Eric Leroy about my misgivings he just
smiled. H• knew Willi. With beautiful
restraint, he simply suggested l play as
hard as I could, because that was what
Willi would do.
Th, day cam• and Willi showed up
lat•. of coune. H• qulcltly pulled off his
jeans and shirt, and took some old gloves
out of his pocket. Standing there in his
underwear, he announced loudly that he
was ready to go. I looked at his tennis
shoes, floppy because Willi had no toes,
and then at his white skin and the
tiredness around his eyes. Again I thought
this was a mistake. 1 didn't want to beat
someone who was out of shape, t-irNi and
still breathing rapidly from his hasty
arrival. I wanted to play Willi wh,n h,
was at his best.
He but mo th, first g,ame. 21-9. I
thought he had just psyched m• out with
his bluff and laughter. I decided to bear
down the second game, and intended to
end this match as quicltly as pos,ibl,. But
the second game was worse, The "tired
old man" only allowed me four measly
points. Shaking my head, I crawled back
to the locker room as Willi rushed off for
his next "appointment"
looking very
much refreshed.
I played handball a lot with Willi
during the following years. He taught me
to use my mind and not depend so much
on my body. ln three years of handball, I
was able to beat him only a few times.
Each of those times was just before he
had to go to the hospital
for an
operation. I found out why Eric had
smiled.
Willi was a master at concealini the
hard work he did to stay in shape and to
keep his mind keen. 1 found out later that
he did exercises every day in private. He
rode his bicycle several miles every day
He hiked and climbed regularly. To keep
his mind functioning. he would study
logic. calculus, economics, etc. He had a
gift for pulling off superb lectures.
seemingly without preparation. But as the
years passed, I saw him alone, working.
studying and writing quick outlines to
organize his thoughts.
Willi was able to function spontaneously, without a lot of obvious work
preparing for whatever it was he did. But
the truth was that under his theatrics
lay years of preparation-fifteen
years of
college, thirty y•an of climbing, at the
same time raising a family with his wife,
Jolene.
Willi, perhaps more than any other
Evergreen faculty member. wanted students to hav,, freedom, and to tak• the
responsibility that goes with it. He argued
this philosophy,
while simultaneously
allowing himself littl• freedom. H• was
patient with student!. who wantNi "instant
gratification." Yet he lived and believed
that positive change is most often
achieved through simple hard work, and
only after years of effort.
~ l began to drift off in my warm
sleeping bag, listening to the wind picking
up, l thought about Willi. l thought that
he was a better-than-average man whc·
drove himself to his full potential througr
iron discipline,
faith and love. HC'
achieved greatness in his climbing, in his
ability as an educator, and as a tather and
husband.
Unsoeld will laugh as he watches his
family and his students in the years to

and screaming, into the fray which he can
now enjoy from the sidelines. All of us
now have the responsibility for studying,

Working
Design Team
Early Model CABs, or A Look
.
1n the Rear-View Mirror
By Joel Walker
The CAB redesign presently in progress is the product of thrtt years of
research and design work. The priorities
for the redesign range from the nttd to
provide student group space in anticipation of increased enrollment. to the nttd
for a place where students can socialize.
During this time, thrtt design proposals.
\•.'ith progressively smaller budgets, have
been submitted to the SikA Board.
However, the design priorities
have
remained essentially the same.
The original CAB Phase II plans called
f0r a budget of $650,000 to be financed
by floating cl bond. This plan was
developed last year by another student
design team, directed by architect, Jon
Collier. Included in this proposal were a
student group office wing, cafeteria
remodeling, lounge development for both
study and socializing, and second floor
mall improvement.
The proposal was
approvt"d by the S&cA Board, and the
Board of Trustees;
and a firm of
architects and interior designers were
hired to prepare final contract documents.
Due to Evergreen's slow enrollment
growth. this year's S&A Board modified
the budget to $182,000. Further budget
cuts forced the plan to be scrappNJ
completely.
Up until the tenth wttk of Fall Quarter,
little physical alteration had been done in
the CAB. At this time the consortium of
Alternative Energy Systems, the Student
Housing Design Group, Decentralization,
and Environmental Design were allocated
$5,000 to design and implement the
changes you now see. Lnaddition, various
energy conservation studies were made
: a brief hentory
and a new on,ampus day care center was
proposed. Coincidmtally, part of the way
through that we<k, the Council on
Post-Secondary
Education report was
released. The report r«ommended that a
place for students to socialize would be an
important ingredient for increasing the
enrollment. Some time after the project
was finished, the Enrollment DTF ttport
recommended that a study should be
made on the need for an on-campus day
care center.
The consortium project was only a
beginning. Soon after its completion, the
coordinating faculty, Jon Collier, Raintr
Hasenstab, Stan Klyn, and Russ Fox,
made a supplementary proposal to the
S&A Board for further funding. This
proposal asked for $60,000 needed to
have designs drawn up and contracted out
in order to complete the project. It was
scrutinized and reduced to $40,000 with
the understanding that a student design
team would be involved in further design
development. Archtiect, Max Knauss, of
Organic Farm Building fame, was hired to
coordinate the team. A newly formed
Design Review Board directed the team to
base their design primarily on studies and
proposals described above. The current
status of this work is reported on these
pages.

When Our Ship Comes In
By Scot Medbury
During the cou.rw of our research, the
Dnign Team found that thett w<tt many
worthy proposals and suggntions for the
CAB that could not be included in the
current $40,000 allocation.
But as
enrollm<nt increases and the Sa.A Board
puts mott money in the CAB Il budget, it
i, likely many of th... projects could be
implemented.
After considering many proposals,
some of which were really "off the wall,"
these are the projects the Design Tearn
recommends for future funding.
A Student Office Complex has been
proposed by TESC Space Analyst, Kris
Robinson, to be constructed where the
pool tables ar< pr<Sently (third floor, west
end). This plan would entail flooring off
th• small well just inside the building and
putting up partitions. The proposed office
plan would bring the student group
offices now located in the Library into the
CAB, and would allow KAOS to
incorporate their newsroom (second floor,
east) with the rest of the station.
proc,,ss, DarttU Six, Qffic,, of Facilities:
Dav• Rauh, KAOS Station Manager; Jim
Duncan, Shipping and RKT!vlng; Doris

to thank. In addition to thoee named,
w<'d lilt• to acknowledge the nameless

Th• Dnign T<am strongly recommends
the liberation of the Forma Propooed
Chlldspaa, (next to the bookstott) fo
student use. This is prime space, one of
the best in the building. It affords accea
to both th• Street Cafe and the roof deck,
and could easily be converted to a
multitude of uses. This plan would
involve constructing partitions and some
remodeling of the bookstott to ttlocate
their shipping and m:eivlng functions.
A plan to put most of the lights in the
CAB on Locally Operated Swltcha has
been proposed. Thi> would mluce energy
consumption by allowing people to tum
lights off when they are not in use.
Currently, all the lights in the CAB are
computer controlled from the Stum Plant
and stay on until 2 am.
A plan to install Vntibule Doon at the
Red Squatt entrance to th• CAB has aho
been suggnted. R... arch done In the
Alt<mativ< Energy Systems program at
Evergreen last year has shown that
addition of the doors would substantially
increase the energy efficiency of the
building. The project would pay for itaelf
in <ight y<an by lowering utility coots.

W• recommend that the plan to Furnish
the Roof Decks also be implemented. The
exi>ting planter boxes stockpiled by the
Steam Plant could be utilized to malt<
Roof Gudens: sturdy outdoor furniture
a,uld be pun:hased. An awning owr th•
part of the roof could also be construct«!.
The CAB Dnign Groupe that preceded
us suggested the Ranod«llng of SAGA.
This plan would include installing picture
window, on the south wall of the
cafetttla, and coNtructing a roU-up door
wher< the cuhien sit. The door, identical
to those used by the concessions on the
second floor, would ftte the cal<teria for
evening use by securing the kitchen atta.
A proposal to build an Amphitheater
Outllide the Cafetul.a was made last year
by Jon Collier's CAB Dnign Team. Thia
"lould be a curved ,eating arrangffll<nt
overlooking
the cafeteria patio. The
amphitheater would aho provide stair
accas to the patio from Red Square.
Other propotals that still nHd to be
researched further include a CoffNhoin the CAB, a Pub that would Rrve beer
and wine, expansion of the Duck HouM'•

One chall<nging aspect of th• CAB
remooei,ng project that the Uesign T <am
dealt with this quarter was the relationship between the design of our environments and the inhabitants
of those
environments. Design, in itself, with little
or no regard for th• people who will be
users of the space or object, is not nearly
as difficult as design that intimately
involves the people who will live in that
space. Effective designing must be done
with its users in mind. Ideally those users
should be active participants
in the
planning process. Th• CAB Design Team
combined both of these approaches.
On• of the purposes of the "Dnign
Team" (as the name implies) was to work
together in a cooperative manner. Full
group brainstorm and design sessions, as
well as smaller task groups that focused
on particular areas of th• CAB, helped us
reach thi> goal. Individuals wer< h<ld
accountable for various projects, but the
interrelationship of the individual and the
team was vital.
Since the area being remodeled is
primarily a ttudent activities building, wt
found definite advantages
in direct
student involvement with the design
process. This automatically encompasses
th• roles of both user and designer. As
student/designers
we conversed easily
with other student/users
and also
approached various CAB employees with
our ideas.
Th• Dnign Team madea •incer< effort
to contact all usen of the CAB. A memo

In
the '79
phone numbers of task group workers,
and signs asking for written design ideas
were all vehicles used to lessen barriers
and develop exciting and practical design
proposals.
Despite our efforts, there were deterrents to communication
development.
Some basic first steps of the design
process, those that dealt with clear
communication and identification of the
underlying problems, wtte not given the
attention they warranted. This was due
partly to the pressure th• Design Team
felt when faced with a multi-faceted
design project that had a time framework
of two and a half montlu. This pressure
hindered us from evaluating the symptoms of the design problems, and resulted
in the premature focus on developing
budgetary proposals rather than initially
accumulating creative design alternatives.
The Design T earn realized early along
that we were not the ultimate decisionmaking authority concerning the remodeling plans. It was encouraging to have
positive responses and finally approval
from th~ authorities-the Design Review

CAB or
Camel?
By Max Knauss
Who has heard the comment that a
camel is a horse designed by committee?
The implication is that all the parts are
there and functioning but the whole lacks
a certain refinement or grace. I'd be the
last to deny that group design has its
difficulties In terms of unifying individual
viewpoints and contributions, but when
the issue is environmental design and the
contributors are users of the environment
in question, then the struggle for unity is
itself the force that pushes human
relevanc,, through the crust of preconception and expediency.
The seventeen Evergreen students working on the CAB remodel design know the
struggle. As design groups go,sevmtttn is
