PLATO Featured in
Computer Center
You won't find the Greek
philosopher in Library 2415,
the campus computer center,
but you will find a remarkable system bearing his
name.
Since the programmers
decided to humanize the
system by dubbing it PLATO,
it seemed appropriate to take
that sentiment one step further and attempt an "interview." Student hangers-on at
the computer center found
the idea amusing. The largest
and best computers are, after
all, just electronic circuits
and interviewing one is akin
to "arguing with your car or
talking to a stump," one wag
gleefully pointed out.
Another offered the
solemn advice, "You can't
interview PLATO; it doesn't
talk."
That's true enough. It
occasionally squeaks, but
you'll get no more conversation from PLATO than you
would from the car or stump
cited above.
However, PLATO does
have display terminals—four
on campus and hundreds of
others scattered around the
country—so the system will
respond to questions, so
long as they are the right
ones. In that, computers
resemble their human counterparts ; they tend to ignore
questions for which they
have no answers.
The following questions
have been revised and expanded for the benefit of
human readers, but the
PLATO answers appear
verbatim.
Review: Who are you?
PLATO: PLATO is the acronym for Programmed
Logic for Automated
Teaching Operations, the
computer-assisted program you're now using.
Review: Who wrote the introductory BASIC program
I'm now using?
PLATp: TESC. Dr. John
Aikin, Greg (Moo) Starling, Grady Ward, Mark
Arntson.
Review: Who made you?
PLATO: CDC is the Control
Data Corporation, a major manufacturer of computers and peripherals.
You are using a CDC
computer now!
Review: What do you know
of God?
PLATO: A philosopher asked
the new electronic brain
that stores all knowledge,
"Is there a Gpd?" (The
machine replied): "Now
there is."
Review: How is it that we
communicate?
PLATO: By computer terminal, an input-output
device that includes a
way to input data to a
computer (such as a keyboard) and a way to display output.

Review: We've heard many
people use the terminals
to play computer games.
Can you give one example of how often you play
host to such users?
PLATO: 77,376 games of
EMPIRE since 8/I/79.
Review: Just to test your
comprehensive ability,
can you say what is the
longest word anywhere
in the world?
PLATO: "A word from our
sponsor...."
Review: And what do you
think of the current
world situation?
PLATO: FUBAR.
Review: Fubar?
PLATO: Fouled Up Beyond
All Recognition.
Review: You seem politically
pessimistic. What can
you tell me about a
pleasanter side of existence, love and sex,
for example?
PLATO: If you don't know, I
can't help you.
Review: Do you have any
comments you'd like to
make in summary?
PLATO: GIGO.
Review: OK, I'll fall for it.
What does gigo mean?
PLATO; Garbage In, Garbage
Out.
PLATO really isn't this
dour. Its general responses
as one moves through a programmed text incline toward:
"That's very good" and
"PLATO applauds you." The
harshest response might be,
"I hope you missed that last
one on purpose."
The Evergreen PLATO
system was set up with
partial funding from the Control Data Corporation, one of
the largest manufacturers of
computers and associated
equipment. TESC is the only
school in Washington to use
the system, though firms like
Boeing and Weyerhaeuser
use it extensively.
Between 50 and 100 colleges and universities across
the country are PLATO subscribers, with the largest
installation (500 terminals) at
the University of Illinois
where PLATO was developed.
The four central processing
units are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota at CDC
headquarters.
A subscription costs $860
per month for each terminal,
but with the high rate of use
at TESC, the cost works out
to only $1.50 per student
contact hour.
Persons engaged in an
academic program have first
priority, but other users also
can be accommodated, often
at the same time, by assigning processing time based on
a priority coding.

Artificial Intelligence
Unlikely
PLATO has many features, but the primary one is
the instructional program
which has been built up over
the years by users, and more
recently, by CDC commissioning people to write
specific programs.
The range of PLATO
courses is astonishing—from
business math to inspection
techniques for the Boeing 747
hydraulic system. It would
take three years, at 40 hours
per week, to work through
the 6000 hours of instruction
currently available and
enough new courses might
be added in that time to
make the task almost indefinite.
Evergreen was recently
awarded another CDC grant
for further development work
on PLATO. The grant was for
$157,000 to fund 18 months
of research into developing a
program which will simulate
other computer languages on
PLATO. Currently students
can learn the BASIC programming language on
PLATO through the "Business BASIC" course developed at TESC a few years
ago. The grant project will
attempt to develop a similar
program for the COBOL and
FORTRAN languages.
The BASIC simulator is
particularly useful at Evergreen because the two
Hewlett-Packard computers
on campus use that language.
Learning BASIC on PLATO
makes for an easy transition
to the campus computers. As
one student put it, "It's the
first time I've dealt with computers in a non-threatening
situation. PLATO really holds
your hand."
The Hewlett-Packard
computers are each about
twice the size of a desk and
have the capacity of a firstgeneration computer which
might have filled half the
Library lobby. A primary
function is administrative
computing (maintaining accounts, student records and
address lists), but they are
also widely used for research,
academic programs and student projects. Some students
even use the editing function
to write papers and evaluations.
Computer use at Evergreen is so widespread that
in a 1978 nationwide survey,
the college was the only institution in the entire western
United States selected by the
Human Resources Research
Organization as a case study
of academic computing. Evergreen was chosen for its long
history of institutional commitment to using computers
in teaching, and for the high
degree of computer literacy
among faculty, staff and
students.

John Aikin, computer services director, feejs Evergreen's strength is increasing general undergraduate
"computer literacy" and not
in training programmers and
systems analysts. He
stresses the importance of
gaining some familiarity with
computers because of their
acknowledged impact on
society. "If Evergreen had a
foreign language requirement," he jokes, "it ought to
be for a programming language. Seriously, though,
about 40 percent of our current students have some
familiarity with computers,
which is quite high for a
liberal arts school."
He also stresses the
"golden mean" (a bit of wisdom from another Greek
philosopher) in student use
of computers. "I advise students interested in computing to broaden their horizons," he says. "To work in
the field, you have to deal
with people as much as
machines. The computer professional is often in the position of a translator, developing programs for people who
have little computer sophistication but considerable expertise in another area."
"It's a mistake to specialize in computer science at
the undergraduate level," he
advises, "because the field
changes so rapidly. The
development of computers
just goes back about 25
years, and it's only since
about 1970 that there's even
been a computer science
field for people to enter as
a career. I don't know what
the next 10 years will bring,
but someone's narrow specialty area might disappear
before they've had much
chance to practice it."
Evergreen does not have
the computer sciences faculty
or the range of courses
offered at the University of
Washington, but Aikin feels
the TESC interdisciplinary
approach is actually what
keeps the college's courses
on the generalist level. "It's
not a problem," he says.

"Our students have no difficulty finding jobs in the field
and several are now in graduate school at Stanford and
the University of Edinburgh,
both of which are well-known
centers for the study of
artificial intelligence."
"I don't like to see students holed up in the computer center anyway. They
need to know something
about the world out here,"
he says, gesturing toward his
office window. "They get
caught up in the appeal of
interacting with the computer
because it's a mangeable
microcosm. If you work carefully, a program will run and
if there's a flaw you can find
and correct it. There are none
of the complexities and
undercurrents you find in
personal relationships."
The essential simplicity
and literal-mindedness of
computers are what prevents
the development of artificial
intelligence, Aikin says.
"Computers are rule-governed
and only do what they're
supposed to do. That's
perfect for mathematics, but
maddening for language,
which some theorists feel
depends more on context
then rules. One popular
example is the experimental
language program which
translated 'out of sight, out
of mind' as 'invisible idiot.'
Artificial intelligence would
depend on independent learning and access to the general
pool of knowledge, and mastery of a human language is
the only way to do that.
There have been attempts in
the past, but the programming task is awesome,
largely because we don't
know very much about language and thought processes
to begin with."
A large Defense Department computer might have
the processing capacity to
simulate intelligence, Aikin
admits, "but it couldn't pass
Touring's Test'—a person at
a remote terminal being unable to distinguish between
human and machine responses. I doubt if a computer could ever pass the
test."

Touring the Evergreen Library
A library tour really should
start with the book collection. At Evergreen, most of
the 140,000 volume collection
is on the third floor, with
study rooms, carrels and
lounges scattered throughout. Those areas have a high
occupancy rate—Evergreen's
: ibrary gets a heavier rate of
use than most.
The initial collection was
selected from Books for
College Libraries, a list of
75,000 titles compiled by
college teachers, librarians
and scholars. That reference,
several similar ones, review
journals, user requests, and
academic program needs are
all considered in decisions
on current acquisitions.
The number of volumes
in a library is often used as
a yardstick in determining
relative worth, but this statistic is a bit misleading for
newer libraries. "A library
established at the turn of the
century," explains Jovana
Brown, dean of library services, "will have thousands of
volumes acquired over its
80-year history which just
occupy space on the shelves;
they've ceased to circulate
because they are outdated."
The Evergreen collection
is also supplemented by
extensive holdings in microfilm, microfiche and ultramicrofiche (microfiche with
the print reduced so the
Bible can be put on one
card—medieval theologians
debating the number of
angels that could dance on
the head of pin would be
delighted). The collection,
housed in a corner room near
the head of the third-floor
stairs, contains the complete
New York Times', large files
on anthropology, U.S. history
and underground newspapers; and back issues of
periodicals on the main
shelves, just to name a few.
This room, neatly lined with
filing cabinets, is unimpressive on the surface, but it
contains a couple of centuries of history, just waiting
for someone to browse
through it.

in the library basement. The
circulation desk is also the
final step in a complex
sequence which begins with
a book being published,
reviewed and indexed in
various journals, acquired by
the library, and then cataloged and processed for
placement on the shelves.
Evergreen is a member of
the Washington Library Network, a cooperative system
which has automated some
of these support functions.
With about 4000 offcampus borrowers, the circulation desk is receiving
heavier use from the community than ever before.
Most materials are available
to the community, and the
Evergreen library is open
evenings and weekends,
when other libraries are
closed.
The final stop on the
main floor tour is the media
loan desk, a busy place
which circulates about
$200,000 worth of projectors,
cameras, recorders, video
systems, and other media
equipment. They even have
portable computer terminals
which use ordinary telephone
lines to tie in to the campus
computers. Due to the high
cost, media equipment does
not circulate to the community, but any TESC student, faculty or staff member
can borrow equipment just
by demonstrating proficiency.
Instruction is readily available, from simple over-thecounter directions to video
cassette demonstration tapes.
The library has also
assumed the rather nontraditional task of maintaining
and engineering all campus
media systems and equipment. This function takes us
to the first floor, a labyrinth
of facilities which looks, in
some places, like a set for a
science-fiction movie.
Presiding over the media
section of the library is
Susan Smith, unofficially
called "Queen of Media" by
students. Despite the temptations offered by quality
equipment and excellent

staff, "we're not here to train
technicians," says Smith.
"That wouldn't be a longrange service to the students
who might, for example,
know a lot about equipment
for doing a documentary, but
not really have anything to
say. We like to see the
facility as an adjunct to academic programs and a lot of
the work done here is in that
context."

Smith feels the one thing
most people don't realize
about libraries, but should,
is the amount of help available. "Two common attitudes
are the embarrassment of not
knowing something, and the
feeling There's no answer to
the question I have.' We
don't embarrass people, and
very few come in here with
questions which can't be
answered."
Many students are introduced to the media area
through a regular staff-taught
course, "Media for the Uninitiated," which familiarizes
them with the Mini-Media
Production Center, a do-ityourself operation with an
ARP synthesizer, audio and
video editing benches, a
photo studio and a graphic
arts workroom. Community
members also can use the
facility.
More advanced students
use the two television studios, half-dozen audio studios and the photo darkrooms. One section of the
first-floor photo lab is given
over to college Photo Services, which combines the
services of professional photographers with the facilities
of a major custom-processing
house.
Down the corridor, and
what might be years into the
future, is the Media Switch-

ing Center, a collection of
consoles, blinking lights,
co-ax cables, one-inch video
decks and display screens.
Most campus media is controlled from here, and there
is even a set-up for a television equivalent of KAOS,
the campus FM radio station.
"This place is sort of
ironic," Smith notes. "In a
liberal arts college committed
to small classes and close
faculty-student interaction,
we could use the Media
Switching Center to relay
the same instructional program to virtually every room
on campus. Of course, the
designers just wanted a good
system; they weren't really
thinking of 2000-member
lecture classes."

Hidden behind rolls of maps,
scores of unfinished musical
compositions, and cases of
rare archival treasures sits
Malcolm Stilson, the everalert Evergreen reference librarian who answers all
questions, preserves all college history, and recreates
with his own special satire
the world of "Wintergreen
College" and "Thirsty
County" for lighthearted fans
of musical comedy.
Stilson officially heads
the library's reference, documents and serials section.
But it's in his unofficial capacity as campus playwright/
historian/satirist that the

a part of the Evergreen team
since he first sorted, selected
and stored the beginnings of
its library collection in the
north warehouse of the
Olympia Brewery in 1969.

dark and dingy place," recalls Stilson with his usual
grin. "We had more than

"Those were exciting and
sometimes very hectic years,"
Stilson remembers. "Being
one of the first staff members made me feel like a
founding father—and made
my job a lot of fun." That
opportunity also supplied
him with a constant source
of new materials with which
to apply his rich reservoir of
musical and theatrical talents.
The college hadn't even
opened when the first Stilson
production, "The Founding
of Jolly College Where Learning Can Be Fun," premiered
in December of 1970, featuring the struggles of founding
president "Ashford Cann"
and his staff of beleaguered
deans and vice presidents.
With that show began an
Evergreen tradition: a new
Stilson production at least
annually to cast humorous
light on the trials and tribulations of creating the new
college in the wilds of
Cooper Point.
Stilson, who began his
third career as a librarian
after the age of 40, says he
"kind of fell into" his role as
the campus playwright after
spending two duty tours with
the U.S. Army's Special
Services (entertainment) division during World War II
and the Korean War.
"Just playing the piano
for all those entertainers and
working under the guidance
of Melvyn Douglas gave me
a shot of show business
savvy," he says. "I've been
composing and writing ever
since."
After stints as a schedule
planner at Boeing and a
teacher of social sciences in
the public schools, Stilson
began his new career as a
librarian. He started carefully
reserving 30 minutes a day to
sit hunched over his piano,
pencil in hand and creativity
in mind, to create his own
special world "where I can
forget everything but my
music."

His early creations were
nearly all devoted to Evergreen and included such forgettables as "Malice in Blunderland," "The Last Yippie,"
"Cloud Koo Koo U," and
"Achilles the Heel." Each
offered a somewhat talented
and totally fearless troupe of
Geoduck readers who sang
and ad-libbed their way
through free-wheeling adaptations of stories enriched
with often riotous, pun-filled
dialogue and such sprightly
tunes as "The Geoduck Fight
Song," "Be a Consultant"
and "I'm a VIP from ESC."
Buried among these
diamonds in the rough was
one sparkling jewel that may
yet bring fame to its creator.
Called "Mercer's Harem,"
this 1973 musical tale of the
Seattle mail-order brides who
left their homes in the East

in search of Pacific Northwest husbands gained increased respect for Stilson's
ability to create truly memorable songs and to tell a nonEvergreen tale with wit and
style.
"That's one of five serious works I've produced over
the past ten years," says
Stilson. It's caught the attention of some out-of-state
producers who may yet make
me famous and wealthy."
In the meantime, Stilson
continues to devote his workday to compilation of the
Evergreen archives, research
on puzzling questions by
library users (e.g., "How
many non-Native Chinese live
in the Philippines?"), and
collection of rare books and
other treasures, including a
1978 first edition of Captain

Vancouver's Voyages fo
Puget Sound, a signed print
and first edition by photographer Ansel Adams, and a
host of limited, signed editions of books published by
small presses—all available
for public examination.
At home, his attentions
are divided among wife Sue,
a former part-time member of
the TESC bookstore staff,
and their grown children:
Randy, an Evergreen graduate who has earned his
master's degree in library
science; Scott, an Evergreen
senior studying computers;
Ann, who lives in Michigan
with her husband and two
children; and Lee, and archeologist and shoe repair store
owner in Mount Vernon.
Stilson also continues to
devote his 30 minutes a day
to yet another new tune and
fractured lyric. His latest effort, which he admits might
more readily attract notoriety
than fame, premiers during
Super Saturday, June 7.
Called "Das Kapital
Mall," the play, says Stilson,
"is a musical farce" about
the folks who live in Thirsty
County—in the cities of
Lazy, Slumwater and Olympus, and their adjustments to
the ever-growing presence of
Das Kapital Mall.
Performed by what Stilson calls "The Geoduck
Readers and Singers (?)
Theater," the play begins at
2 and 8 p.m., June 7, on the
second floor lobby of the
Evans Library. Admission is
free because, asks Stilson,
"who'd pay for this kind of
entertainment"?
Malcolm is too modest—
we expect a large turnout of
people who love good music
and enjoy satire, and who
have had the pleasure of seeing a Stilson production
before.

been a manufacturer's representative for FMC Corporation's
machine and power controls for nearly 20 years and now
runs Special Products Company, Seattle, which still represents FMC, along with other lines like Doerr Electric, American Autoguard and Magnetic Power Systems. If these names

Besides, growing up around the business, Scott likes the
independence of the work. "Like Evergreen, you only get out
what you put into it. We don't have a salary here. We sell for
manufacturers but don't work for them; we're really independent contractors."
Scott notes that Special Products Company will become
a stocking distributor this spring of FMC power equipment,
as the manufacturer changes from a system of reps to one of
regional product inventories. This is a new challenge for
them, with the possibilities for future growth limited only by
space. Scott and Jim Salzer are full partners now and look
forward to their future. It should be an interesting and
"independent" one.

Intense interests in electronics and speaker technology led to
collaboration in a hi-fi store for former Evergreeners Jim Croft
and Rod McClaskey, two of three partners in Definitive Audio,
Seattle's only "state-of-the-art" stereo outlet. They specialize
in stereo equipment which is the best available within a price
range and sometimes, due to the up-to-date technology they
feature, simply the best available. They find that some of
their best customers are salespersons from other stereo
stores, a high compliment.
Rod has always enjoyed working with electronic equipment and runs the service end. "You can make anything spec
good, so we had to do our own measurements," Rod notes,
as part of their effort to stay specialized in a generalized
business. New equipment is the lifeblood of their business,
Rod said. "We do a lot of listening; we can't afford to take
the rep's word for it."
Jim was doing freelance speaker design just a few years
ago with the third partner, Jay Huber. "Our work was pioneering at the time, the only such research in the USA,
though now many are doing it," Jim reminisced. He still has
a couple of patents pending.
All three of the partners had been in the two specialty
"state-of-the-art" shops in Portland and wondered why there
wasn't one in Seattle. Jim undertook a study of the national
markets with such specialty shops. He found that Seattle
was the only major metropolitan area in the country without
one. In fact, he noted that all other markets were heavy with
mail-order business from Seattle. It was obviously the right
time for such a move.
Though the time was right, it didn't save the principals
from going, "Around the clock, breakfast, work and more
work," as Jim puts it.
The partners have moved their business from an out-ofthe-way spot to Seattle's "Stereo Row" in the University
District. Results are impressive as sales have doubled.

Susie Archibald
Susie Archibald is a sister/partner in a downtown Olympia
shop called, simply and appropriately, The Archibald
§ iftisters.
It is a shop for those who indulge themselves in
lovely soaps, lotions and pleasant smells; in novelty items
likeseashell night lamps, jewelry, beautiful occasion cards
and lots of other tasteful gifts. The two sisters, Susie and
Shelly saw a need five years ago for this type of shop in
Olympia, backed their childhood dreams with personal
savings, and jumped into the world of small business.
Susie had previous experience in art and business at the
University of Washington. While at Evergreen, she was enrolled in the "Women in Management" program and found it
very valuable. Her individual contracts supplied her with the
skills a conscientious business person would need.
"Motivation and the real, heartfelt desire to own a small
business," Susie says, are what kept the shop going and
growing into an area success. She and Shelly both have
found long hours and hard work the lot of the successful
entrepreneur.
Susie says it doesn't take a lot of research to get into a
small business, but it does require re-education in current
business trends to keep it going. "You've got to keep trying
to please customers and re-educate yourself to their needs,"
is the message she relates to the prospective new entrepreneur. Susie added, "You always have to strive for
improvement."

Dan and Debbie Swecker

Dan and Debbie (Steelhammer) Swecker, 73 Evergreen grads,
raise salmon for a living in Rochester, a small town south of
Olympia. Five years ago, when they started the business,
they were the first in the state to operate a freshwater
salmon-rearing operation—aquaculture as it's now called.
Their initial concepts about the business turned out to be
totally different from the reality. "I thought of it as being on
saltwater with nets and seagulls. Instead, we're on the prairie
with crows and cement ponds," Dan says. He feels you have
to be flexible and ready for change when engaged in a
small business.
The Sweckers spent two years researching their business
enterprise and feel those research skills are the most important tools they acquired at Evergreen. Dan said the ability to
educate oneself was not only helpful to them, but a skill
important to any other business venture.
Both Dan and Debbie have been active in the political
aspects of their fledgling industry. They have been cochairpersons for the American Salmon Growers the past
four years; Dan was its president last year. They actively
lobby each legislative session and are hopeful that 1981 will
see ocean-ranching in Washington.
The Sweckers will probably acquire a location for saltwater salmon rearing, although they will stay on at their
prairie site where they anticipate adding a new home and
another freshwater pool for a new variety of salmon.
They may diversify to other small businesses, since they
feel that working for themselves is great. It keeps the family
together and they hope to make small business a family
tradition.

Randy Ray with Rep. Wayne Ehlers on the floor of the House

Randy Ray

Forty-five people participated in a day-long "Small Business
in the 80s" seminar held March 1 at The Evergreen State
College. The goal of this Alumni Association event was to
provide a blend of academic and practical information for
interested alumni and community members, either contemplating or newly involved in a small business venture.
The seminar opened with presentations on the economic
outlook and impact of changing lifestyles for small businesses in the coming decade. Chuck Nisbet, TESC faculty in
economics, forecast that Thurston County may prove to be
"recession resistant." He attributed this, in part, to a projected population growth of up to 80 percent, continued
stability of state government, and completion of the I-5
corridor between Olympia and Seattle.
Susan Washburn, TESC Director of Development,
followed Chuck and led a discussion on changing lifestyles
and their impact on small businesses. She felt that with the
median age and level of education rising, services need to be
flexible enough to change and adapt to specific markets
throughput the 80s.
Seminar participants shared their ideas during the
morning program and seemed to enjoy this "academic"
approach.

Randy Ray is a lobbyist, pure and simple. But it didn't quite
start out like that. As he puts it, "I almost starved to death
for the first two years, but I kept going. I was still young and
willing to gamble to see if I could make it work."
Randy started with an internship at the State Legislature,
followed it with a year in'the Senate Research Center, and
then put together an independent contract to study corporate
lobbying. He co-authored a report on a study titled, "Perceptions: Corporate Involvement with the Washington State
Legislature." His co-author, Megan Mardesich, joined him in
business shortly thereafter.
The partnership didn't last, and for good reason. Randy
explains, "Our second year in business was the first in 12
years that the Legislature failed to meet." When it started,
the partnership only represented one firm, the International
Steamship Association. Now, Randy's firm, Aequus, represents commercial office building owners in Seattle and
Spokane, as well as wheatgrowers, treefruit growers, and
eastern Washington irrigation districts. "Now business is
good, although not excellent, but I feel my reputation as a
lobbyist is very good," Randy says. It would seem his growing list of clients agree.
Randy maintains an office in Olympia, complete with
word-processing equipment, but works put ot his nome in
Seattle. He is originally from Pasco, where his father is an
insurance broker.
Randy is proud of the fact that he made it on his own,
starting at 24. His advice to new entrepreneurs reads like an
old handbook, "It takes money to make money, and be prepared to starve for awhile."
"Small Business "panelists Debbie Swecker and Susie Archibald
Randy feels that the outlook for his business is good,
even in a tough economy. He explains, "The more the economy downturns, the more government regulation can be

Though Dean managed

Cancelled
A white-water rafting trip on
the Toutle River set for
May 10 was cancelled at
the last Board meeting. The
event, organized by the
Association's Program Committee, failed to gain a sufficient number of advanced
registrations.

It's not too early to start thinking about this year's Alumni
Reunion, tentatively scheduled for September 5-7.
/Lynn Garner (Associate Director for Student Activities)
and our very own Bonnie Marie (Alumni Coordinator) will be
the on-campus coordinators for this year's event. Please call
Lynn or Bonnie or Program Committee Chairperson Jill
Fleming to get involved with the planning or the doing for
this reunion. This is really the big project for the year and
its success is riding right where it belongs, on your shoulders.
Among the projects that need attention are social activities, the annual business meeting, coordination of nominations for officers, food, seminar activities, recreation, registration, arts and crafts show, entertainment and housing.
Also, do start giving some thought to possible nominations for your Board of Directors and officers. Remember,
any alum may nominate someone, including themselves, for
any positions. So please give it some thought.
Last year's reunion was a lot of fun, but we do need your
help to keep it alive and well. The following is a tentative
schedule. We welcome other programming ideas.

Alumni Directory
by Gary Mozel

Whatever happened to Irving Ferdburfle, that green-haired
guy in our second-year seminar?
The answer to this and other alumni-location problems
will be answered later this year, when the Association's
Recordkeeping Committee will publish a directory of all
3,500 Evergreen alumni. Watch future editions of this newsletter for specifics on publication date and ordering
procedures.
To help us relocate the hundreds of "lost" alums, please
peruse the list of names elsewhere in this issue. If you know
the whereabouts of any of these folks, TELL US! The more
names we can cross off this list, the fewer gaps the
directory will have.
When Gail Martin's annual survey of alumni comes
around later this spring, she'll request permission to print
your name, address and phone number in the directory.
DON'T WORRY—we won't sell your address to 7/me
magazine or Honnekroger's Funeral Home. In fact, we're
expressly forbidding any commercial use of the directory.
It's for us to contact each other, PERIOD.
Alums, however, will be able to advertise to each other in
the directory, by way of business card reproductions clustered in the final pages. If you'd like your business card included, contact the Alumni Office or Gary Mozel, Record-

left Evergreen (job, graduate school, etc.):

by Marjorie Butler
Student groups will use Evergreen as a base camp this
summer for bridge-building
forays into the Cascade and
Olympic mountain ranges.
The bridges aren't concrete
and steel, though, and the
students aren't engineers.
They are junior high and
high school students in the
BRIDGES Program who will
travel through the wilderness
to build bridges of understanding and explore the
interrelationships between
intricately balanced ecological elements in nature, between ecological systems

and people, and between
people themselves.
The BRIDGES Program
spans the month of July in
two sessions of 20 students
each (July 6-16 and July
19-29). Students will travel in
groups of 10 with two
instructors.
Each course begins on
the Evergreen campus for
two days of base-camp preparation. The college's 1000acre wooded campus is a
microcosm of the natural environments the students will
encounter as they embark on
expeditions involving whitewater canoeing, alpine hik-

Fowler Named
Director of
College Relations
Chuck Fowler, public affairs
administrator for the Washington State Department of
Transportation, assumed the
duties of Evergreen's Director
of College Relations on
March 31. Fowler, 41, became the first person to head
the newly reorganized College Relations office, which
now includes information,
publications, graphics and
educational outreach services.
As public affairs administrator for DOT since 1975,
Fowler reorganized that
agency's programs and
served as spokesman on
major policy issues. During
his tenure, the department
won several awards for public relations excellence.
Fowler has also served
as a part-time faculty mem-

ber in communications at
Evergreen and as a community representative on the
college's Public Relations
Advisory Group.
Before moving to Olympia, Fowler had served as an
assistant professor, a managing editor for a magazine
and book company, as general editor for a daily newspaper, and as a public information officer for the United
States Air Force.
A native of Tacoma,
Fowler holds a master of
science degree in journalism
from Northwestern University
and a bachelor of arts in
business administration from
the University of Puget
Sound.

ing, camping, backpacking,
map and compass use,
weather interpretation and
first aid.
More than a wilderness
trek, BRIDGES will introduce
students to the history, flora
and geology of northwest
Washington and to the involvement with resources
characterized by the American Indian. Discussion of
human impacts on the environment will focus on air and
water pollution, erosion and
the concept of watershed.
Through interaction with a
small and close group of
people, students will develop

rapport with nature and
themselves, and will learn
the dynamics of challenge,
stress and growth, valuable
skills in both community and
personal life.
Based on a suggestion
by community members
Doris and Howard Hannigan
for an academic summer
camp at Evergreen, BRIDGES
was conceived in the fall of
1979 by faculty member Rita
Pougiales and students in
the advanced program "Outdoor Education: Social
Foundations of Learning
and Education." Foundations
were laid Winter Quarter, and

Variety Hi< ihlights
Summer >ession
Thirty-two courses will be
offered during the 1980
Summer Session, which begins June 23 and continues
through September 5. Summer at Evergreen is particularly attractive because
students are not required to
gain formal admission to the
college and all students pay
resident tuition during
the summer.
You can wander through
France and Spain with
Gordon Beck's "Pilgrimage
to Santiago" group, study
landscape drawing in the
Olympic mountains with
Marilyn Frasca, or travel the
West studying "Landforms
and Geology of National
Parks."
The Summer Photo
Institute will feature visiting
photographers from Seattle
and Portland, and "Techniques of Visual Anthropology" will focus on field
experience using photography, film or video as documentation tools. Other arts,
communications and media
offerings include courses in
writing, music, video, public
speaking, pottery, English
novel, Russian, and communication with organizations.
The PLATO system will
be used in a self-paced
BASIC programming course

and a math refresher course
also will include programming. Problem solving will
be emphasized in "Introductory Chemistry" and field
trips will be features of
"Coastal Natural History"
and "Northwest Forests."
"Women in American
Society" will survey the role
of women in American
history and another course
will examine the changing
role of women in management.
A seminar in education
which meets June 23-July 2
will look at current topics in
learning resources. The 1980
Summer Institute, set for the
last weekend of June, will
focus on outlaws, oddballs
and individual expression
in society.
Other summer courses
include the Bridge Program,
Paradox of Progress, Dream
Psychology, Environmental
Design, As You Sow, Futurism, Introductory Accounting, Organizations, and
Principles of Economics.
Several faculty members also
will offer individual contracts.
For a copy of the new
summer catalog, write or

students Marjorie Butler and
William Raup, in collaboration with Pougiales, have
taken on the final development as part of their studies
this spring. Butler and Raup
also will instruct the courses
this summer, as will advanced outdoor education
students David Silverburg
and Shelley Home.
Further information is
available from Pougiales at
LAB I, TESC, Olympia,

Marjorie Butler is an Evergreen student who will serve
this summer as a BRIDGES
program instructor.

Evergreen Awarded Two More NSF Grants
The Evergreen State College
is the only institution in the
country to be selected this
year by the National Science
Foundation for receipt of two
Student Originated Studies
grants. The NSF announced
58 awards to a total of 57
U.S. institutions.
The two Evergreen grants,
which provide $27,004 for
research efforts by students,
bring.TESC's tally of NSF
awards to 11 and make the
college one of the highest
consistent recipients of those measurements to nutritional
and health factors. Working
grants in the nation.

The nutrition award, for

show that several groups of
people—teenagers, persons

those who live in areas with
low zinc content in the soil—
may all have problems related to lack of zinc in their
diets," she says.
The Evergreen studentfaculty team hopes to devise
accurate tests of zinc body
levels and correlate results
with extensive dietary studies
as a possible means for

health professionals to detect and treat marginal zinc
deficiencies.
The second grant also
requires the use of Evergreen's sophisticated ECOP
(Ecology and Chemistry of
Pollution) laboratories. Senior Anna Cahall will work
with a six-student team and
faculty biologist Dr. Steven
Herman on her $11,707 grant
to explore distribution and
concentration of chemical
contaminants on shorebirds
and falcons, including an
endangered species whose

population continues to
diminish despite protective
legislation.
"Certain North American,
birds of prey have been seriously affected by contamination from chlorinated hydrocarbons, particularly DDE,"
explains Dr. Herman. "The
American peregrine falcon
and the merlin, which feed
heavily on shorebirds in
western Washington, appear
to suffer from this type of
contamination, but we don't
know the extent."
The Evergreen team will
conduct chemical analyses
and other studies of Dunlin,
a shorebird that comprises
a large part of the winter diet
of the two birds of prey.
They hope to determine exactly how contaminants are
transferred along the food
chain and what impact that
transfer has on the endangered falcons and on the entire ecosystem.
Work on both grants began in March and is expected
to conclude by the end of
February, 1981.

A Potpourri of Happenings

Students in "Foundation of the Visual Arts"program erect kinetic sculpture on field near Seminar Building.

theater, film, lectures and art.

Schmidt Art Endowment Established
The Evergreen State College
Foundation has received a
bequest of $5,000 from the
estate of former trustee
Trueman "Sink" Schmidt. At
its January meeting, the
Foundation's Board of Governors voted unanimously to
establish the Schmidt Art
Endowment. The bequest will
be held in the Foundation
funds in perpetuity, with the
principal to be invested and
the yield to be used to purchase works by Pacific Northwest artists. In this manner,
the Schmidt Collection will
continue to grow over the
years.
Bink Schmidt was one of
the first trustees of The Evergreen State College. The
former Vice President of
Administration of the Olym-

Foundation Receives
First Bequest

pi a Brewery, he was responsible for providing the crucial
leadership and vital direction
needed to establish a new
college. Schmidt played a
significant role in deciding
the location of the Evergreen
campus and overseeing the
campus design, campus policies and procedures, and
institutional structure, goals
and objectives.
The decision to honor
Schmidt's memory with an
art collection in his name
was based on the recommendations of his family and
friends. Known by many as
an indefatigable "putterer,"
Schmidt had a deep love and
appreciation for art as well
as an artist's and architect's
creative spirit.

This bequest was the
first such gift received by the
Foundation. It is also the beginning of the Evergreen
Foundation Endowment
Fund. Individuals who wish
to contribute to the Schmid!
Fund or who would like f u r ther information on deferred
gift ideas and tax advantages
should contact the Foundation's executive director,
Susan L. Washburn, at the
college.

it reach the music departments of every high school
and community college in
western Washington, and the
turntables of selected commercial and nonprofit stations across the country.
Copies of "Collaborations" will be sold for $6
each through the Evergreen
Bookstore, and at a special
booth on the central campus
plaza during Super Saturday
festivities June 7. Record
collectors may also purchase
"Collaborations" by writing:

Record Album Project

Trueman "Bink" Schmidt

Students Produce First LP
"Collaborations," a doubledisc album of original student music—ranging from
country and rock to classical
and jazz, from avant-garde to
folk tunes—will soon be
aired over the nation's AM
and FM radio stations, if the
wishes of a dedicated crew
of Evergreen students are
fulfilled.
The students, working in
cooperation with faculty
musician Dr. David Englert,
decided Winter Quarter to
produce an Evergreen record

album they could use to represent "the best of our work
in music," according to
senior Karen Kramer. "We
wanted something we could
not only share with local
radio stations, but could use
at community colleges and
high schools to illustrate the
high-quality work and the
fine facilities we have for
music studies at Evergreen."
In just three months,
they gathered more than 80
tapes, submitted by Ever-

green student musicians,
composers and vocalists.
Those tapes were auditioned
by a student committee and
23 pieces were selected for
inclusion in the album,
which is scheduled for release in mid-May.
Distribution of the album,
which is encased in a
student-designed and produced cover, has been carefully planned by the student
committee, who intend that

Sell-outs and High Ratings Mark Whole Foods Week
No matter how you slice it,
Whole Foods Service Week
at Evergreen was a success.
The five-day test, conducted in late February to
see if customers would support an alternative food service, attracted more consumers, sold more goods,
and gained high ratings,
according to Kristi Morrish,
a consultant hired to work
with students and staff on
improving campus food
service.
Using the U.S. Dietary
Goals as guidelines, Morrish
and a Food Services Advisory
Group worked with Saga
Food Services manager
Vonda Drogmund to revise
recipes and menus to retain
consumer appeal while providing foods of low fat, low
sugar, low salt and high
fiber content.
"We produced a healthy,
balanced menu using an intermediate approach between
those of health food faddists
and junk food addicts," says
Morrish. "The response was
almost entirely positive."
In fact, more customers
ate there that week than at
any other time during all of
Winter Quarter," she says,
"and they spent an average
of $3.81 each during the
week, an amount substantially higher than at any other
time during the quarter."
These results were particularly welcome, says
Morrish, since the experiment represented a financial
risk for Saga Foods whose
impact at the cash register
could not be predicted.
But the real proof of success, she says, came from
evaluation questionnaires
returned the week after the

event which indicated strong
support for the new approaches.
"We compared these
comments with those gathered during a similar survey
Fall Quarter," she explains.
"In every single category,
consumer satisfaction was
far higher." For example, the
number of persons rating
nutritional quality as "good"

rose from 17 percent Fall
Quarter to 74 percent during
Whole Foods Service Week.
Those rating the taste of
foods as "good" rose more
than 40 percent—from 16 percent in the fall to 57 percent
during the experiment.
"Good" ratings in the five
other major areas polled—
price, convenience, service,
variety and atmosphere—also

were substantially higher,
Morrish reports.
Survey results led Housing and Food Services Director Ken Jacob to extend
Morrish's consultant contract
through Spring Quarter. "We
want to work the successful
recipes and menus into our
regular four-week menu
cycle," says Jacob. "We also
want to add a variety of eth-

nic foods to the menu and to
organize a major Third World
Food Festival sometime during Spring Quarter '
Jacob and Morrish feel
the more immediate changes
will be continuation of the
extensive self-service saiad
bar, avoidance of canned and
processed foods, elimination
of "old standbys" like jello
salads that were not popular
and continued introduction
of new popular entrees, such
as burritos, faiafels and
crepes, which sold out on
the days they were served.
Food Services also will
continue to provide more
vegetarian dishes, to serve
more whole-grain breads and
fresh bakery items, to substitute honey for sugar, and to
offer more fresh, raw fruits
rather than desserts of high
sugar content. The Snack Bar
will continue to sell whole
baked potatoes and bean and
cheese burritos, and to maintain popular, nutritional favorites like hamburgers on
whole-grain buns, natural
apple cider and heated
bagels.
In addition, herbal iced
tea, natural fruit juices and
other uncarbonated and caffeine-free drinks will be sold,
along with the highly popular
"smoothies," a bananaorange-yogurt shake first
sold during the February
experiment.
Morrish says her work
will continue beyond Spring
Quarter, carried on by the
Food Services Advisory
Group, which will serve as a
link between Food Services
and consumers, and possibly
by a new student coordinator
working with food personnel
and the advisory group.
