Bel lah: America
Needs Morality
"America could build a great
society on the basis of sin,
since sin is in good supply,"
jested Dr. Robert N. Bellah
who began the S&H Lecture
Series in early April with his
talk on the role of religion in
political life.
Co-sponsored by Evergreen and a $2500 grant from
the S&H Foundation of the
Sperry and Hutchinson company, the series will bring
four prominent speakers to
campus to address how
religion interacts with public
policy in America.
Bellah began his lecture
by stating, "Religion and
politics have been profoundly
related from the beginning,"
emphasizing that the phrase,
"separation of church and
state," in the Constitution is
"a gross misinterpretation
(which) creates more difficulties than it eliminates."
He continued to say the
Constitution "doesn't mean
that religion and politics
have nothing to do with each
other."
Bellah's main argument
dealt with America's morality,
or rather lack of it, which he
claims will strengthen or
crush the American republic.
"A republic must have a
common purpose and common values," he said. "Today, the use of religious
language is too restricted to
provide that role." Bellah
believes a "public church"
would provide Americans
with "good conscience for
leadership."
When asked by a member of the audience if he
envisioned a strong sense of
morals in American society
without religion, Bellah said:
"I tend to feel religion is
essential. In other societies,
there are deeply ethical
humanists who provide a
strong moral sense, but," he
concluded, "we don't have a
strong moral sense, and if
we don't get it through our
churches and synagogues,
we probably won't get it at
all."
Bellah currently serves
as Ford Professor of Sociology and Comparative Studies
and chairman of the Department of Sociology at U.C.
Berkeley. He previously
taught at Harvard and
Princeton, and authored the
book "The Broken Covenant:
American Civil Religion in
Time of Trial."
The next two S&H
Lectures after Bellah, concerning how Native American
traditions and spiritual values
relate to public policy, were
given by Professor Alfonso
Ortiz of the University of
New Mexico, and Professor
Helen Redbird of Western
Oregon State.
The last S&H lecture on
May 17 will focus on the
controversial topic, "Creationism in America." See
calendar on last page for
details.

Continued from cover.
The number one use of
home computers (by adults)
is word processing. Word
processing is the use of a
computer to aid people in
writing—writing reports,
writing letters, writing books.
For example, this article is
being written using a word
processing software package
and a computer. I can enter
the text of the article, back
up to correct a typing error
or change a word, edit the
article to move paragraphs
from one place to another,
even use a built-in spelling
aid. When the article is
finished, the computer will
print it out to be typeset.
Word processing is an
extremely powerful tool
which changes the way in
which people write and which
(for better or worse) encourages them to write more. I
find that using a word
processing system leads me
to write in a more "stream of
consciousness" manner to
produce a rougher first draft,
but also makes me more willing to make extensive
revisions to get it "just right."
The second largest use
of home computers is probably filing, retrieving, and
analyzing information. Software packages are now available that allow one to store
almost any sort of data using
elaborate cross-indexing
systems. Personal databases

it's incrasingly
likely that if a computer
could do it, then someone
will soon be selling the
necessary software.
The clincher in many
people's agonizing over
whether to buy a home computer is that the kids will
love it. They can play exciting
games at home instead of
constantly bugging you for
quarters and hanging out at
Seven-Eleven smoking
cigarettes and playing Donkey
Kong or Tempest. In fact,
there is even some very good
educational software for
home computers that can
help children learn. And, of
course, children who grow
up with a computer are less
likely to have either the
unreasonable fears of computers or the blind faith in
computers which frequently
afflict their elders.
For all these reasons
then, a home computer may
be in your future. But as with
every new fad, there are
some pitfalls. Home computers are still expensive and
it's not difficult to get burned
in a volatile marketplace
peopled with more than its
share of fast-talkers. To
protect yourself, you'll need
some basic technical facts
and a few simple strategies.
What Is a Home Computer?
All computers have the same
basic parts. There has to be
some sort of input device,
such as a keyboard, that
enables the user to get
information into the computer. There has to be some
sort of output device, such
as a TV-like screen or printer,
that enables the computer to
get information back to the
user. The computer itself has
three major parts: (1) A

and some of the things to
think about in evaluating
possible specific machines.
I promise to keep the technical mumbo-jumbo to a
minimum.
The typical home computer will have some sort of
CRT display which serves as
the primary output device
and a typewriter-1 ike keyboard which serves as an
input device. The memory
and the CPU will be inside a
plain metal or plastic box
where you can't see much.
Either built into that box, or
attached by a cable, will be
one or more floppy disk
drives, which allow the
computer to store and retrieve
data from flexible magnetic
disks about the size of a
45rpm record. Many home
computers will also have
other devices attached, such
as joysticks or game paddles
processing efforts can't ever
reach a sheet of paper.
Printers come in two types:
dot matrix, which display
symbols as a pattern of dots,
and letter quality, which print
symbols like a conventional
typewriter. Dot matrix
printers are faster, quieter,
and cheaper; but most
people prefer the impression
which a letter quality printer
makes. Fortunately, you can
add or upgrade a printer later.
Memory. Computer
memory is measured in
bytes. A byte can store one
symbol, such as "A." Most
microcomputers have
thousands of bytes of
memory which are measured
in kilobytes, kbytes, or even
"K." A microcomputer with
fewer than 48 K of memory is
not likely to be very useful
except for games and learning to program. 64K to 128K

looming as future standards.
As a general rule, the more
memory your computer has,
the bigger the programs you
can run and the faster you
can run them. Therefore, you
should look for the ability to
add memory easily in the
future if you do not buy
much to start with. The cost
of memory is falling very
rapidly.
The Processor. The

computer. It's the ubiquitous

that can store a lot of data.
The amount of data which
can be stored on a floppy
disk is measured in bytes,
just like memory. Since
floppy disks can hold more
data, however, the amount is
sometimes expressed in
megabytes (millions of
bytes), or often just Megs.
Floppy disks come in a
bewildering variety of sizes
and formats, all incompatible.
There are disks that record
on one side, disks that record
on both sides; 5.25" disks
and 8" disks; single density,
double density, even quadruple density! In short, it is
virtually certain that the disk
you generate using your
brand-X computer cannot be
read on your friend's brand-Y
computer.
Floppy disks can store
from about 90K (for example
on an Atari 5.25" disk) to
about 1 ,500K (for example on
a Control Data 110 using a
double-sided, double density
8" disk). As with memory,
bigger is better. If you are
writing a large document,
using small floppy disks to
store it can be like listening
to Wagner's Ring Cycle on
78rpm records: possible, but
tedious.
It is difficult to give
sound advice about choosing
a floppy disk format because
there are so many and new
ones are constantly appearing. Perhaps the best
approach is to select a
computer in which additional
storage can be added later,
much as speakers or turntable can be added to a
component stereo system at
a later time.
System Software. When
you buy a home computer,
you will also get a special
software package called an
operating system. Operating
systems are designed to sit
between you and the machine,
simplifying your tasks of
loading and running programs, storing and retrieving
data, and managing the
various peripherals, such as
the printer and the floppy
disks.
The most common
operating system for computers based on the 8080 and
Z80 chips is CPM. A version
of CPM is also available for
the more recent Intel chips.
Although there are other
good operating systems, you
will probably want CPM
because everybody and her
cousin has written software
that works with CPM. If the

that will run that software
efficiently.
Good software is very
difficult to write. It is therefore usually expensive. Software is also difficult to
evaluate because you really
must use it for awhile before
you can tell if it will do what
you want. You will find that
selecting software is more
frustrating than hardware
because less objective
information is available. What
follows are some brief hints
on how to cope with the
chaotic computer marketplace.
Before You Shop. Decide
how you might be able to
use a home computer.
Investigate the areas mentioned at the start of this
article, talk to people who
have one, and read as much
as you can. You can avoid a
great deal of grief if you
know clearly what problems
you expect a home computer
to solve for you.
Shopping. In accordance
with Ai kin's Law, start by trying to find software that will
do each of the things you
have identified as useful to
you. You will need to read
sales descriptions and advertisements carefully to locate
possible packages for further
study. Then go to the
marketplace. I recommend
you distrust all computer
salespeople. Many of them
either know less than you do,
or know all sorts of technical
talk, but can't communicate
with mortals. In particular,
watch out for these
syndromes:
Hardware Hypnosis: You
can easily recognize this one
because when you ask the
salesperson if the word
processing package you are
considering can do footnotes, s/he starts jabbering
bits, bytes, RAMs, and
ROMs. If you can't understand the salesperson, or if
s/he seems preoccupied with
arcane technical terms,
remember your promise to
select software first and beat
a hasty retreat to a store
where they will talk with you
about your computer application first.
Oversell: You'll recognize this one when you ask if
the package can do page
numbering starting on
page 237 instead of page 1 ,
and the salesperson replies,
"Sure, this package does
everything. It's the best one
we've ever seen!" Demand (at
least once in every store) that
they show you how it works.

qua
mation to select the right
software and hardware. One
of the best sources is other
people with needs similar to
yours who have taken the
plunge. Although few people
have really used more than
one package for a particular
purpose, they can at least
verify if the one they bought
works for them.
There are several excellent magazines with honest,
no-holds-barred reviews of
software and hardware and
articles on topics of general
interest to the novice. My
picks are:
(1) "Infoworld," a newspaper-format weekly,
(2) "Popular Computing,"
a monthly magazine, and
(3) "Personal Computing," also a monthly.
Considering the magnitude of the investment you're
planning, it's well worth the
price of a year's subscription.
Some Hardware Tips.
Once you pick your software,
you simply choose a computer that can run that software, bearing in mind the
earlier comments about each
important hardware characteristic. In general, you
should buy the most powerful
hardware (or at least hardware with the most expansion
capability) that you can
afford. While you buy software for the present, you buy
hardware for the future. So
buy the best, biggest, and
fastest that your budget will
allow. Look at the firm that
makes the hardware carefully.
New computer companies are
born, bloom, and fade every
week. It is like the early days
of radio: in 1930, nearly 3000
companies were making
radios in the U.S. By 1940,
there were about 100. So will
it be with computers, and
you should try to pick a company that will survive to
support its customers.
You need to develop a
maintenance plan for whatever hardware you buy. It will
break down, most likely
within a month after you buy
it. Many local dealers provide
service contracts, but be sure
they can, in fact, make
repairs in-house. Otherwise,
you may be without your
computer for months while
it's shipped to the factory in
Transylvania.
the marketplace by 1986...),
and "future enhancement"
(don't hold your breath). The
computer industry has a bad
habit of selling products that
don't yet and may never
exist. What you see is what
you get.
The home computer
market is becoming highly
competitive, which works to
your advantage. In buying
equipment for the college,
we have found price and
delivery variations of as
much as 100% just within
the Puget Sound area. You
may even want to consider
mail order, but only if you
get good reports from others
who have dealt with particular firms and only if you
don't need much local
support. Many advertisements from firms with
impressive names like

A "no strings attached"
donation of one CD-110
Micro Computer was given to
Evergreen recently by the
Control Data Corporation.
The Minneapolis-based firm
is a large computer manufacturer that works with
colleges and universities
across the nation to develop
and manufacture computer
components.
In recent years, Control
Data has donated more than
a half-million dollars to Evergreen and the CD-110
terminal is valued at $8,500
and features a complete
lower-division engineering
curriculum whose educational
components are being tested
for their effectiveness as
teaching and learning devices
by Evergreen faculty, staff
and students.
Director of Evergreen's
Computer Services, Dr. John
Aikin is testing the computer
terminal for Computer
Services, while Vice President and Provost Byron
Youtz, who returns to the
faculty next fall, is testing
the physics component of
the engineering curriculum,
and faculty member Dr. K.V.
Ladd is testing the chemistry
component. Evergreen students Lynn Fischer and Mark
Hansen are assisting the
project by taking the FORTRAN course on the CD-110.
If CD-110 test results
prove satisfactory, Data
Control is prepared to give
Evergreen three more terminals for use in an engineering
course. The terminals can be
used in other areas as well.

Computers for Teachers"
This Summer
Printers, processors, compilers, and chips—these
computer components are
invading our institutions and
many educators are not
trained to use them. To help
correct this situation, Evergreen will hold a computer
seminar for elementary
and secondary school
teachers June 27-July 1.
"A lot of districts buy
computers, drop them in the
teacher's lap, and say 'Here,
use them,' and few teachers
know how," says Dr. John
Aikin, who will head the
camp. "Our workshops will
concentrate on how to use
computers from an educational standpoint."
Teachers will learn what
types of computers and programs are on the market and
how to select materials that
will work best as instructional tools in the classroom.
"We won't be just lecturing,"
says Aikin, "we'll provide an
opportunity for teachers to
ask questions about their
particular problems."
Aikin will instruct the
camp's workshops as well as
Evergreen computer science
faculty member, Judith
Bayard, and Rosalind Philips
who has worked extensively
with computers in the classroom. Staff members of Evergreen's Computer Services
will provide additional
support throughout the week,
and computer facilities will
be available to workshop
participants for hands-on
experience.
A computer camp for
children may be next on the
agenda. Evergreen is currently working with Olympiaarea school districts to see if
enough resources are available to make the idea a
reality in the near future.
Super Saturday: Finale to
Spring, Gateway to Summer
Evergreen's Fifth Annual
Super Saturday celebration
should be bigger and better,
if that's possible.
According to Super
Saturday Coordinator, Larry
Stenberg, last year's event
drew more than 20,000 people
to campus. "This year, if the
weather cooperates," says
Stenberg, "we expect 25,000."
Back this year is entertainment on four stages, the
popular beer garden, food
booths, shrinks and wizards,
arts and crafts, children's
events and all the other
activities which make Super
Saturday such a popular
community-wide event.
"The Super Saturday
Committee is working hard
to ensure that we have the
best celebration ever,"
Stenberg says. "We're meeting weekly now to coordinate

Plans for
Alumni
Reunion
Underway
By Ken Balsley,
Information Specialist
More than 40 Evergreen
alumni enjoyed the hospitality
of the Washington Public
Ports Association at a reception in Olympia during March.
The event, co-sponsored
by the outreach committee of
the Evergreen Alumni Association, honored alums who
have distinguished themselves by participation in
state and local government.
The special honorees included legislators, members
of the legislative staff,
elected officials, lobbyists
and state government
officials, all of whom are
Evergreen graduates.
"We really appreciate the
efforts of Robin Torner,
Information Officer for the
Washington Public Ports
Association, in bringing our
alumni together," says Doug
King, chair of the Alumni
outreach committee. "I hope
this is just the beginning of
many future alumni gettogethers," he says.
Mark the calendar and start
saving your pennies to be
ready, willing, and able to
join fellow alums on campus
at the big 1983 Reunion on
Saturday, October 1.
The Reunion's theme
this year will stress Alumni
Networking. We'll have a full
day of workshops, seminars,
the Annual Meeting (where
you'll vote for new board
members), a banquet and a
dance. We hope this will be
just the beginning of an ongoing Evergreen "Old Clam
Network."
The Reunion is a big
undertaking. Your Reunion
Committee welcomes any
help you have time to spare.
We're particularly interested
in hearing from alums who
are involved in the production
of food and who would be
willing to donate their
services and time for the
Reunion.
If you'd like to help in
any way, please call either

"I love it," she says.
"The hours are long and
sometimes the politics of it
all are frustrating, but I have
definite problems to solve
and definite products as a
result of those efforts."
She credits her alma
mater for giving her the skills
to handle the vast array of
tasks she confronts during
her 12- to 15-hour days.
"I took a number of
individual contracts at Evergreen," she says. "Those
taught me how to schedule
my own time, set my own
goals and work independendently."
Evergreen also taught
me how to enjoy tackling
new tasks," she adds. "I
sometimes have a slight
sense of fear when I get an
assignment to do something
entirely new," she admits,
"but overall, it's a real thrill
for me to use the computer
to create a final product that
someone else can use."
Janice isn't at all sure
where her present job will
lead.
"I still haven't decided
what I want to be when I
grow up," she laughs. "But
I'd love to find out more
about microcomputers and
learn how to write my own
software packages."
Whatever her future
holds, Janice predicts, "I
know it'll have something to
do with computers—and
something that enables me
to keep learning and continue
applying new knowledge to
new assignments."
For the small businessperson, recent advances in
state-of-the-art resources,
particularly computers, are
not only costly, but
intimidating.
Now businesses have
sprung up which offer access
to the new technology,
making use of those resources
less costly and less
intimidating.
One such company is
the Business Information
Center in Eugene, Oregon,
owned and managed by 1977
Evergreen graduate James
Koons.
"All small businesses
need to be able to take
advantage of recent advances
in computers," Koons says.
"They realize it's just a
matter of time before they
get their own and they're
scared to death because their
competitors may already
have them.
"They know they need a
computer but they don't want
a costly paperweight sitting
on their desk," he says.
Wood Programs
Night and Day
for Lawmakers
By Judy McNickle,
Director of Information
Services
When she graduated from
Evergreen in 1976, Janice
Wood had a degree in anthropology of religion and "no
clue" about what she wanted
to do.
Seven years later, the
29-year-old former Alumni
Association president literally
works day and night as a
computer systems analyst for
the Senate Ways and Means
Committee, pumping out
statistical analyses, graphs
and charts, and "bottom line"
figures for the 48th legislative
session.
Her route from religion
to the computer-dominated
fiscal heart of state government provides positive proof,
she says, that "Evergreen
really does teach you how to
learn, even when you start
out not knowing what you'll
need to know."
She landed her first job
as a legislative aide for the
Evergreen-based Council of
State College and University
Presidents. That led to a
That's where Koons'
company comes in. For a
monthly fee, businesses in
the Eugene area have access
to computers and other
state-of-the-art resources,
including video tape library

regular business seminars .
and personal consulting.
"The computer center is
one of our most popular
offerings," Koons says. "We
have six Apple III computers
and three computer specialists. We have taught more
than 300 people how to use
microcomputers."
He says that Evergreen's
academic programs were
valuable to him because
"they enabled me to be
resourceful and learn how to
work on my own. That's a
necessary skill for a small
business owner."
While going to Evergreen, Koons started his own
business, Sundance Expeditions, which is still in operation running Whitewater river
tours. Upon leaving Evergreen, he attended Stanford
where he obtained his
masters in business adminisadministration.
Then, sensing the need
to put businesses together
with modern technology,
Koons joined with two partners and founded the
Business Information Center
a little more than a year ago.
Today the company has
grown to encompass 195
subscribers and is making
plans to expand to the
Seattle-Bellevue area.
"temporary" position in the
forecasting division of the
Office of Fiscal Management.
"I was hired to do some
simple number crunching,"
she remembers, "working on
a long-range higher education
enrollment study."
She got her first taste of
working with computers at
OFM—and was "hooked."
Since that job was supposed
to be temporary (it lasted
two years.), Janice kept looking at job announcements
and found "everyone that
looked interesting required
budget skills."
So, she re-enrolled in
Evergreen to study accounting and shortly thereafter
was promoted to OFM's
budget division, where she
prepared community college
budgets and began learning
how to use formulas to generate higher education
budgets.
"I had to learn how to
use canned computer program models," she says. "It
was interesting and fun, so I
learned it on my own and
even began to understand
how other more complicated
legislative computer systems
worked.
Her career took an unexpected turn "right in the
middle of the 1981 session,"
when Janice was hired away
from OFM by the Senate
Ways and Means Committee.
"I still didn't know how
to program the computer, but
I learned it—fast—because I
just had to," she recalls.
Two years and five
sessions later, Janice finds
her days (and nights)
dominated by "usually
urgent" requests for computer-generated information
on a wide array of budget
topics—from graphs to
charts to illustrate newsletters sent out by lawmakers, to complicated,
Janice Wood, a systems analyst for the Senate Ways and Means Committee,
reviews her computer's latest efforts with committee chairman Senator Jim
McDermott (D-Seattle)
(Ms. McNickle is currently on
leave to work with the Senate
Democratic Communications
Office during the 48th
session of the Washington
State Legislature.)

reacted with shock and sadness to news of faculty
member Richard Nesbitt's
death from a massive heart
attack at his home on
February 14. He would have
been 46 in March.
A memorial fund in

with interdisciplinary education at Stony Brook. A graduate of Queens College in
New York, he received his
masters and doctorate
degrees from Boston University in 1966 and 1969,
respectively. He has taught
philosophy, as well as teamtaught interdisciplinary
courses in communications,
the Black Experience, the
Conflict in Northern Ireland,
World Hunger, and Human
Nature.
He has served as director
of Undergraduate Studies in
Philosophy and was the
founder and director of Stony
Brook's masters program in
Philosophical Perspectives.
"We're pleased to have
someone of Dr. Hill's credentials and background," said
President Dan Evans. "His
experience in interdisciplinary
education means he'll be
able to fit in at Evergreen
almost immediately."
As vice president and
provost, Hill will be responsible for directing curricular
development and the quality
of academic programs. In
addition, he will supervise
library services, cooperative
education and educational
support programs.
His six-year appointment
is renewable at the discretion
of the president, and carries
with it an opportunity to
rotate into the faculty at
Evergreen.

Washburn Named New Director
Sue Washburn has been
named by President Dan
Evans as director of College
Relations and Development,
which combines the old
offices of Community Relations and College Relations
into one unit, a reorganization which received approval
from Evergreen's Board of
Trustees in February.
Washburn, who has
served at Evergreen since
1979 as director of Develop-
ment and executive director
of The Evergreen State
College Foundation, now
joins the President's Cabinet
with responsibility over
marketing, public relations,
enrollment management,
publications, graphic design,
development/fundraising,
alumni affairs, community
relations and institutional
research.

Soccer Program Has New Coordinator
Arno Zoske, former men's
soccer coach at Pacific
Lutheran University in
Tacoma, has been hired to
run the soccer program at
Evergreen.
Zoske, who will work
part-time at Evergeen until
assuming full-time duties
June 1, will oversee the
college's soccer program,
coach men's soccer, oversee
recruitment efforts for both
the men's and women's
teams, and run soccer camps
during the summer.
The 44-year-old Zoske
said his philosophy is not
worrying about winning or
losing, but being prepared.
"We need to have a good
foundation in conditioning
and a sound background in
the fundamentals," he says.
"You win games on defense
first and you do that by playing out of a good defensive
posture."
Born in Germany, Zoske
played amateur soccer in
Chicago, where one of the
teams he played on won the
national amateur championship. At Northern Illinois
University, he was captain
and most valuable player on
the soccer team. He received
his graduate degree from the
University of Oregon, and
then went to Notre Dame
where he was soccer coach
and assistant athletic trainer
for the school's basketball
team.
After eight years at
Notre Dame, Zoske moved to
Tacoma where he coached
soccer at both Tacoma
Community College and
Pacific Lutheran University.
Last year he took the PLU
team to a 12-3-1 record,
losing to Simon Fraser in the
district playoffs.
Zoske feels his athletic
philosophy fits in very well
with Evergreen's philosophy.
"Athletics is only of value if
it is part of the school's
offerings and represents
another option for the gifted
individual," he says. "I look
at athletics, sports and
movement as art forms and
ways of expressing yourself."
His appointment is for
one year.
has studied Spanish at the
University of Guajuate in
Mexico.
Lidman has been a
member of the Evergreen
faculty since 1974 and hopes
to apply his Evergreen experiences to his new position at
the National Institute.
"People who have been
Fulbrights before say you
have to be flexible," says
Lidman, "but I think Ever-
green has taught me how to
work towards a goal no
matter what the formal structure may look like."
Lidman will return to
Evergreen in the spring of
1984. His MPA directorship
expires this term, so on
return Lidman will teach
undergraduates and hope to
relate his courses to his
experiences in Latin America.
Fulbright Takes Lidman to Peru
"My Spanish is a little rusty,"
admits Evergreen faculty
member Dr. Russell Lidman,
who will travel to Peru this
summer on a prestigious
Fulbright Senior Lectureship.
Lidman will take leave
from his position as director
of Evergreen's Masters Program in Public Administration
to teach at the National
Institute of Public Administration in Lima, Peru. "The
job is very much like the job
I have now," says Lidman,
who will teach courses in
administration as well as
serve as a curricular consultant at the National
Institute.
Peruvian culture is not
foreign to Dr. Lidman as he
worked on his master's thesis
on economic development in
Peru in 1967 while attending
Princeton University. He also

Why Would You Want One?
Prior to 1982 there was really
only one reason why people
bought home computers:
novel entertainment. Like the
radio enthusiasts of the
1920's, the computer buffs of
the 1970's knew they were on
to something big, but when
asked what the average
person could do with a computer, the answer sounded
pretty weak: "Well.. .you
can play games."
What's changed all that
during the last year is that
literally thousands of companies have started selling
software. Software is what
makes a computer do things;
it contains the detailed
directions which any computer must have in order to
carry out even the most trivial
of tasks.
