Bowers to perform
Bryan Bowers has been busting open
folk festivals
all over the country
recently, as well as in Britian. The
amazing part is that he is doing it on his
own as a solo autoharpist.
Born on a Virginia farm 35 years ago,
he left to become a traveling minstrel,
playing in city streets and paying his
musical dues. Long established on the East
Coast and Chicago area, Bryan has joined
the ranks of many established music
people coming to the Northwest, having
recently moved to Seattle.
Bowers has developed his own style on
the autoharp, picking with an five fingers,
each finger doing its own thing, creating a
five-layered symphonic, harmonic effect
that bewitches his audiences. A virtuoso
on an instrument almost totally abandoned by modern society, he takes it to
heights with his style and technique.
Fully involved with his instrument, he
dedicated his album, The View From
Home (Flying Fish Records), to "all the
autoharps held in captivity in closets,
basements, and attics across the nation."
Often traveling
with up to seven
autoharps, he plays with gentle authority
both the traditional folk/country/bluegrass music of his roots, and more
contemporary
material from his own
experiences.
Bryan Bowers is quickly becoming a
folk music giant, gaining recognition
everywhere he plays. And he is bound to
make a hefty contribution, in his own
way. to the Northwest music scene.
Bryan Bowers will be performing in
Olympia at the Gnu Deli Monday,
November 27 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $3.

"'
The TimS.ar Cale was full of McCleary
locals that morning. We were ushered
past the counter ~d booths to a dining
room full of antiques and rural families.
Bacon and eggs, coffee,
and a
cinnamon roll were ordered. Breakfast
was excellent. Grease, using the Hucks
grease scale (1-10 with S as a normal
rating, less grease - higher rate) was as
follows, Bacon 7; eggs 5; hash browns
4. Five pieces of bacon were served,
slightly overcookod.
Eggs cookod to
order. Hash browns were unevmtful, but
tasty. Whoat toast was high quality with
excellent homemade
preserves.
The
cinnamon roll was outstanding. Homemade, huge, a real American treat. Cofftt
was average.
Service was good, decor: very early
vinyl, with Disney musi~, sort of early
sixties supermarket.
An excellent breakfast. If you go, sit up
front. That's where all the action is. No
cigars for sale.

CPE report recommends changes
by Bill Hucks
Lost on a Sunday breakfast search, we
stumbled
into the small town of
McCleary. One loop down the main strttt
produced just one open eatery: The
TimBear Cafe. That name may serve to
remind you of the annual McCleary Bear
Festival held each summer to celebrate
something concerning bears. Eating bear
meat is part of the activities, so I imagine
it's not too popular with the local
wildlife or some vegetarians.

Let's join a group of nrw studmts in

It's o lively campus the newcomers ~e
around Ihm,, swarming 1DithMarly 4,000
students. Hundreds more ,zre enrolled in
off-campus programJ on th, edg,s of th,
state.
LDoking into one bad/Jing, th, shulmts
see a kctur,r sp,alcing to hundnds; in
anoth,r, th,y find a s,,ninar of a dotm
students quietly eich,mging
ideAJ.
O,,ming another door, th, shulents might
find others reuuing In a coffH •hop,
po,.ibly di5cwsing thl prosp,cts of th,
college's soccer te•m again.st a rival
univ,rsity, or the qualilJI of the band that
is to plRy at an upcoming dtmce. Realising
the time, th, nno studmts rwh off to
meet with their 11dvisors, who are
perm,mently assigned to guide them
through th,ir colleg, yean.
Little, if any, of what lhu,
new
students Sle su~
them. Most , ,zre
from high .schools or community colleges
within the region, where students,
grodunt,s, faculty and rttruiters from the
college spent a lot of Hm, upl,,lning ii,
mostly in trtulitional educational terms.
Simple, stralghtfonoard brochurn backed
up th, personal ,,,-totio,u,
and the
students may have seen the school's
televi.sion promotions. Many of their
parmU, and older brothers tmd sisters,
have attended p11rt•time and evening
classes there.
The college nnphllSized in its public
relations that its combination of
conventional courses and interdixiplin11ry
studU, relate directly to future careers, to
jobs upon graduation, and how its many
degree and profn,lonal-certification programs h.,,,, bttn designed with th• nttds
of employ,rs in mind. Curricula d,dthd
years in advance assure studmts that th•
programs th,y want will be off.r,d.
Promises of an active social life and a
popular intercoll•giate--othlttics program
further attracted them. And the college
miuh it "'5y for th- students to attmd,
accepting nearly evnyon, who applild by
completing a faiTly st11nd11rdcollegelUlmis.sionsform.
Not much choice in their first-yt11r
program is 1,ft to th, studmts. They'll
spend it developing basic shuly skills and
becoming familiRr with the fundamentals
of th, humanities and scimcn, a., -11 as
being introduced to th• new ways of

its physical plant to capacity, and
constantly rn,iewing its ovnhetul mad
11dministr11tive costs with economy in
mind, its curriculum reviewed by other
institutions and approved by " state
11gency.
The coUege, of course, is Evergrttn-
tho TESC of 1984. The scenMio sketches
the changes Evergrffll would probably
oxpmena ii it adopted th• =ommendations of the 200-pag• preliminary draft of
a rq,ort by a stat• ag,ency released la,t
Wttk.
'Th• Evergrffll Study", prepared by the
stall of the Council for Postsoc:ondary
Education for tho us• of tho State
l.egisbture convening in January, was
mandated by tho 1977 Logislaturo.
Impetus of th• mandato was Evergroa,' s
high cost per student-in 1975, $3,075
compared to a state average of $2.074-
and controversial
public image. The
report's recommendations are aimed at
boosting enrollment to bring expenses
down to what the stat•' s other highereducation institutions spend without, the
report maintains, undercutting the "good
base" of nontraditional education TESC
has built.
Concluding that an onroUmmt of 4,250
full-time-equivalent
students would be
required for TESC to achieve "cost
parity" with the state's three regional
universities, "lhe report recommends Evergreen be given a four-year "breathing
period" to achieve that goal without
interference by state government. By the
end of th• lint two yean, "tho coUoge
should be able to clearly demonstrate
evidence of enrollment growth and cost
reductions."
Potential for that 93 percent enrollment
increase exists, the report says, among the
graduating high school and community
-:,,U~ transfer student!! in the region now
going to other coUeg~, and among those
adults in southwest Washington
who
could be served by off-campus programs.
Though nonresident students comprise
"the only area of enrollment which grew
in fall, 1978,"
the report
doesn't
recommend a campaign to attract more
out-of-state students. "The currmt ability
of students to reclassify as residents could
result in substantially increased expenditures with little, if any, growth in service
to current state residents, particularly in
southwest Washington."
Stress on service to southwest Washington throughout the report and recommendations reflects its analysis
of the
priorities of the legislators and state
officials who first conceived of the college
in the mid-1960s: ••.
. their major
interests were directed first to service to
the area and to the Olympia governmental complex,
with the thought
of
something educationally different added
later, in some respects as a response to
the turbulence then in evidence on various
Washington campuses.··
The hiring of Dr. Charles J. McCann as
Evergreen's
first president
in 1968,
however, made development of nontraditional curriculum the primary goal. Only
in recent years has the college focused on
service to the area and liaison with state
government, the report says. The result of
this order of development. it says, is that
the college's ··earlier trials and tribulations
left it '!Yitha reduced appeal."

Farmhouse needs money

Will tho Organic Farmhouse over be

This is not a new question. 1n fact it's
live yoan old. Since 1974 tho construction
of tho farmhouse has crawled a.lonx duo
to bureaucratic
red tape, inadequate
supervision, tattered coordination
and
lack of funds.

was financed by th, Sa.A with $20,000
dollan which wu taken from th, Cab
Phase II reserves. It is now about
two-thirds linisliod. When completed it
will be tho only structure on campus
made of wood and th, only building
designed and constructed by students. It
will have a multi-purpose lllffling room
and commercial duty kltchon. It could
provido a market for tho Organic Farms

will be accepted is January 3, 1979.
Application forms are available in Room
2306A of the Library proper. A selection
committee, comprised of two students,
one faculty, one academic dean or
appointee. and one Library representative,
will read applications and make the final
determinations based on: 1) demonstrated
need for library resources; 2) documented
requirements of programs with regard to
library usage; 3) other.
Study rooms are assigned for only one
quarter at a time. A use survey will be
conducted on an on-going basis. No one
assigned a study room for a quarter may
assume that privilege will be continued.
Each quarter the needs will be reassessed
and rooms reassigned on the strength of

Studies
Israel to
be offered summer
Studies in Israel will be offered Summer
Quarter by faculty member Ted Gerstl.
His two-month summer study program
will be the topic of an information
meeting Mon<!ay, December 11. beginning
at 7 p.m. in the 1600 lounge of the Evans
Library on the TESC campus.
Gerst), an Evergreen faculty member
in organizational psychology who has
twice visited Israel in the past three years,
says the Monday evening meeting is
designed to discuss plans for the cmlitgenerating study and to explore with
potential students the aspects of Israel
they' re most interested in examining.
Summer Quarter classes begin June 18
at Evergreen, and Gerstl says his group
will leave campus by the end of June and
return to Olympia the first wee.le of
September.
Much of the two-month study will be
spent on an Israeli kibbutz, like the
agricultural cooperatives where Gerst! and
15 Evergreen students spent six wtt.ks
living and studying in 1976. Time will
also be allotted for tours of Isreal to such
areas as the Sinai and Negev Deserts,

The last fragments of a once vast North
American wilderness are rapidly vanishing. Although some 15 million acm;
are now protected
in the National
Wilderness Preservation System, close to
3 times that much lies under pavement in
the nation. And more is threatened by
bulldozers and chainsaws every day. At
the same time, the demand for wilderness
recreation is rising more each year.
Backpacking is increasing at 6 percent per
annum while the general population
grows at roughly 2.1 percent pe,r annum.
Fortunately America has one last opportunity to save a truly magnificent part of
its wilderness heritage, Alaslca.
Until the last decade, when oil was
discovered in Alaska, little attention was
paid to our 49th state. Tino discoftry,
coupled with the • ri•i~g .. ctemand for
petroleum and timber•reiated products
focused more attention on Alaska and its
resources. As a result, much controversy
has arisen over the future use of Alaskan
lands.
With statehood In 19S8, 37S.000,000
acre Alaska was almost totally in federal
ownenhip under the Bureau of Land
Management. Congress, upon admitting
AJ.. ka to the union, allocated 102,000,000
acres to the state in a generous land gift.
In attempting to settle the growing
controversy over Ala.slc.an land use, in
1971 Congress passed The Alaskan Natlve
Claims Settlement Act granting '4,000,000
acres and about a billion dollars to the
aboriginal Alaskans (44,000,000 people).
In clause 20 of the act, Congress
provided for the allocation of up to 125
million acres of this land to meet the
notional interest as national parks,
monuments, forests, wildlife refuges, and
wild and scenic views. The remaining 80

million actts of federal lands would be
allocated to various uses.
One of the provisions of The Alaskan
Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 was
that Congress would have to act on the
..2D" lands by December 18, 1978 or they
would be allocated to multiple-use
management (opened for development).
The legisbtive process was slow, but on
May 19, 1978 Representative
Morris
Udall's Bill. H.R. 39, which was backed
by conservationists, passed the full house
by a 9 ;o 1 vote. The action next moved
to the senate where Senator Metcalfe's
Bill. S.B. 1500 was tabled in the Energy
and Natural
Resources
Committee,
chaired by Senator Jackson. Senator
Metcalfe died and Senator Jackson gave
ptiority to Pre-sident Carter's energy
proposals. The bill had 19 cosponsors.
Conservationists felt that Senator Jackson,
usually favorable to conservation, would
push the bill through committee and onto
a full senate vote. He didn't.
When the summer ended environmentalists became alarmed and began a last
minute push for senate passage this year.
Senator Gravel (R-Alaska) threatened to
filibuster any moves on S.B. 1500. The
senate hurried to campaign for elections.
On the final day of session all parties
had come together on a compromise bill.
Senator Gravel fllibu.,tered. Finally the
house passed an extension to tM Dec. 18
deadline. Senator Gravel filibustered a
similar attempt in the Senate. On Oct. 16
the Congress adjourneil.
Conservationists
then began a final
effort to encourage the Carter administration to protect the pristine Alaskan lands.
He was encouraged
to invoke the
Antiquities Act of 1906. The· administration (O.pt. of Interior) Invoked 204C of
The Federal Land Policy and Management
Act on Nov. 17. A few days later 204D
was invoked. Finally, on Dec. 1, 1978,
President Carter invoked the Antiquities
Act of 1906 to add 56 million acres to the
nation's National Monuments.
There will be 11 million acres protected
In the· 16 million acre T ongass National

inclusion into the nation's wildlife refuge
and national park preserve systems.
Environmentalists are elated. This effectively protects these 125 million acres
until Congress takes up the' issue again in
January. If Congress fails to take any
action these lands will be protected from
development
by this administrative
action. Environmentalists feel that President Carter should be praised for his bold
action.
It is important that new bills similar to
Udall's H.R.39 be reintroduced to insure
that many of the provisions be enacted
that are important, that President Carter
was unable to enact. Two examples are
additions, to The National Wilderness
Preservation System and addressing the
claims of the native Alaskans, Interested
people are strongly urged to thank
President Carter for his action and to
contact their members in Congress and
encourage
them to support
strong
Alaskan legislation.
It has bttn a remarkable year for
enyironmentalists.
The efforts of the

and preserving wildlife" the important
criterion. Those opposed listed "negative
impact on economy"
as the most
important reason, while "motorized access
and recreation,
economics, jobs and
timber values" were suggested as decisionmaking criterion.
Ten alternatives were outlined in the
initial report, ranging from all wilderness
to none. Among the criterion used in
these choices were: wilderness
sit,
quality, resource commodity value, landform and ecosystem {at least one of each
example in the country
should be
included), wildlife and accessibility/
distribution.
The Forest Service avoided offering a
preferred alternative, choosing instead to
present ten ideas of equal potential.
Several
conservation
groups
have
attacked these alternatives
as biased
against wilderness.
The Sierra Club
writes, " ... balanced alternatives are not
in the EIS which thousands will review.
Many will simply pick a favorite
as
though ·professional judgment' had determined these to be the reasonable, superior
possibilities".
Most would agree that a balance is
necessary although few would agree what
that balance is, or how to achieve it.
For example, Charles Goff, District
Forester from the Industrial Forestry
Association, feels we already have enough
wilderness in Washington. He explains,
"Olympic National Park took the lions
share of fine land area on the Penninsula.
How do I answer a banker or hotel owner
who says bullshit to more wilderness?
People management
is our greatest
challenge now. In the next ten years
there'll be an explosion of growth in this
state. The people will demand recreation,
and the majority
won't look for
wilderness. They want campgrou.nds,
roads, hunting, trail bikes ... if you lock
up land on the Penninsula as a buffer.·
they'll demand the national park be cut in
half."
Goff, along with representatives from
The Sierra Club, Northwest Four Wheel
Drive Association and the Big Game
Council, will participate
in a panel
discussion at The Evergreen State College
on January 9.
Some would argue that we've fought
war with the earth, that each defilement
of wild places leads us closer to our own
destruction. Can we afford to lose any
more?
Others believe our survival is based on
our ability to utilize the resources so
plentiful on the planet. What will happen
if we lock them up, protected from our
material needs?
Let Congres.s or the Forest Service hear
your ideas.

Students can
effect Curriculum
by Laird Bauer
The community Forum affirmed a
-;1udent motivation for involvement in
Evergreen affairs. The most important
tactor in the definition of Evergreen is the
curriculum. ht-cause this is, believe it or
not a community based on education.
Recent tours of Red Square have given me
a st>nst>that students feel alienat~ from
administrative decision making proces~
in general. and from curriculum planning
m particular. This is an effort to clarify
the avenues now open to student input in
curriculum planning.
There are three ways for students to
affect the curriculum here. They are as
tallows:
Trial Balloon-you just missed it. Even
though the trial balloon involves no
person-to-person responses, our comments
on those ballot sheets are seen, read and
considered by real Hesh and blood
administrators. Its influence is felt in
several ways: it provides an awareness of
what students feel is missing from
curriculum, indicates the programs that
ne-ed slight alterations, and points out the
on-target
programs,$
Faculty Conveners-there
is one represt>ntative faculty member for each
specialty area. A good place to find them
en masse is at the "curriculum open
house" the week following the trial
balloon. This was used for the first time
this year. Student tum out was weak. In
spite of this. Dean Rob Knapp felt the
open house concept was valuable and
should be offered again next year.
Studet1t Proposals-one student proposed progr.im will make it to print in the
catalog supplement this year. Ke,ep in
mind that your proposal must have
appeal beyond the original planning
group bE-causehistoricaly, most proposers
do not enroll in the programs they plan.
These three methods .,. effective only

NOTE
Editor·~ note: We received .a rather
amusing Inter this weiek that carefully
suggested the present Journal editor was a
"fascist" and that the Journal was boring.
We won't argue with the writer's
contentions but we couldn't publish the
letter because it was unsigned. Unsigned
letters cannot be published in the Journal
(or any newspaper) b«:au.se of possible
legal complications and a sense of fair
play. Names can be withhe:ld on request
but each letter must originally contain a
signature and a phone number where the
author can be reached.
As always, keep those cards and letten
coming in.
TALKING
ABOUT
DOING
To the Editor:
I realize that Evergreen ha, an image
problem and is sorely misunderstood by
outsiders. In the last few weeks I have
heard an overwhelming number of fellow
students lamenting its plight and speculating on its outcome.
At the s.ime time I have seen a notice
posted asking for 1tudent1'a aid tn
oreaching potential students by tpeal:ing
about Evergrttn's method of teaching and
it's value to Evergrttnen.
As students, we know that increued
enrollment at Evergrffn would mean lea:
pressure from outside to change the
Khool to • traditional teaching method,
that more faculty members could be hired
for special interest group,, and that
n,w claJS offerinp could be made. We
•It<>know that by tpealung to potmtial
if they are utilized in euly Fall term. It is
too late now to affect next fall's·
curriculum.
However, student action can be talc.en
on specific program content. The middle
of winter tern is usually the time when
students can mttt with faculty to plan the
structure of next year's programs.
Student's also have a prime opportunity
to propose programs for this Spring.
There is a pool of faculty who have
begun planning for Spring Quarter, but
for whom firm assignments have not yet
been made. They may be available to
work with students on a well~nceived,
student-designed program.
Another vehicle for student voice is the
Evergreen Council. It is composed of
students, faculty and administrators. It is
not an elite group; everyone is invited.
Come on Evergreeners; get up off your
grain-fed haunches. Discussion on Red
Square is great but unless it turns to
active, some-times pushy, participation it
will have no effect.
1 have two suggestions to make in the
hope of facilitating student initJated
programs:
1) We should have an open forum at
the beginning of Fall term for students
with a common interest to meet and
organize their curriculum proposals.
2) the CPJ should
provide free
advertising for student or faculty program
proposals. This would also help people
with common academic intetttts to meet,
The key to the effectiveness of our
student community is _to stop talking
about doing something
and do it.
Planning must happen now. Don't wait
until spring break to complain about the
administration's deaf ear. The problmi. is
not that they do not hear but rather that
we, the students,
have not been
conveying ideas through the proper
channels.
students we would have • voice In what
happens to Evergreen, because we would
be showing that we want It to stay the
way it is and are willing to help keep it
that way even if it me.ans speaking in
front of a group ol younger people who
an, strangers and telling about ourM?lves,
our work, and our school. This is our
chance to speak for Ewrgrem and have •
hand in future decisions about it.
Enough students an crying about
E,,.,,._n's imminent clmlile and le,,I that
the school should be saved, that I'm sure
Evergreeners will be out In number at all
other Washington state schools telling
potential students of the wonders of
E,,.,_.,
However, becauw 10 many of these
concerned students will be jumping at the
chan<:eto have a voice in 1M outcome of
E,,.,,._n
and to tell others of their
experiencn at Eve,vttn, I think I'll just
,it back and bitch If they do it all wrong
or enjoy Evergreen as it is If they're
sucasaful.

A LOT OF QUESTIONS
To the Editor,
In the November 20 issue of the CPJ,
Douglas R. Mclaughlin attributed the
lade of student participation
here at
Evergreen, to just general apathy and a
void of get up and go. Well, I would like
to tell this man where to go, to find the
root of the problem. To me, it is the
reluctance of the administration to allow,
we the students, a voice in campus
governance.
I admit that this campus is second to
few schools in the facilities that allow
academic freedom. We have some of the
loosest student codes that I have ever
encountered. And (as my teacher once
sta~)
can "take over'' any depart•
ment that our fancies choose. But, are we
free to thape our lives and ideals In the
ways we choosel
Mr. McLaughlin claimed that we "were
missing the mark" by our tendency to
throw the blame for inactivity onto such
external problems as conflicting time
schedules drawn up by others, or classes
built to another's design or even a lack of

Dear Members of the Board ,
We are writing to express our concern
with respect to your recent action in the
cue of the propoted Strike Policy, and to
urge that you adopt the policy which this
group recommended. We believe it is a
just and vi,albJe policy which, far from
tying the hands ol the Trustee, provides
• large meuuP. of flexibiUty to all parties
in the case that • oerlou1 dispoute should
develop. What we tried to do was to
ensure that, In such a situation, both sides
would have • clear Interest In negotiation,
and that In the event ol breakdown, there
would be protection for everybody. Thus
our intent wu to encourage negotiation
and to discourage confrontation. Any cha
change In the pro_.t
policy would
seriously distort the balance which we
,trove to incorporate.
We also want to emphasize, as we have
done In the past, the representative nature
of the group, and the aeriousness with

While we recognize that it is your

current Strike Policy, embodied _in

An Analysis
The CPE Report and Evergreen
CPE Report
Continued from page I
Surveys conducted for the report
support this idea of an image problem,
the report indicates. Students, graduatn
and their employers, and placement
records all agrtt "that the Evergrttn
program is effective and worthy of
preservation," says the report, " ..
unfortunately, thrM views are not readily
shared by high school stud•nts and th•ir
counselors."
R.. ults of th• survey of collog...bound
stud•nts in 15 aroa high schools spotlights
the image probl•m. About half indicated
they knew little or nothing about
Evergrttn," and the qualities in which
Evergreen scored lowest-that
graduates
get jobs in their areas of intettst," that
teaching is "the most important mission of
the school." that faculty "expe,ct students
to work," and stude-nts are "committe,d to
learning"-"are primarily those in which
the College believes it is most effective."
An expandrd public relations effort, the
report concludes, should be "one of the
college's highest priorities."
Evergreen now gets only 1.4 percent of
southwest Washington high school graduates, the reports says, and 9 .1 percent of
community college transfer students from
community colleges in the area. "High
school entrances and (college) transfers
alone could provide
up to 3,200
additional
students,
and additional
growth is possible in added local,
ofi-campus and graduate programs," says
the report.
Many of the recommendations stem
trom the career-centered orientation of
these potential students.
The report says that among the cul'ffnt,
prospective and former students surveyed,
as well as employers of graduates, and
high school teachers and counnlors
'strong support exists for Evergreen's
basic ;alternative approach to learning-to
applied/interdisciplinary
studies, close
student/faculty
contact, and students
sharing in the design and relponsibility
for their own education. But every group
quoried by th• staff bolieved th• oxisting
Evergreen system can be improved,
making it moro compatible with traditional educational structutts and a highly
competitive job market."
Though th• criticisms of the group
varied, the report says their views
converged
on several
suggestions:
Improved program continuity and structuro, and r,quired programs for entering
students; improved academic advising
and ovaluations: offering a B.S. deg1ft
and mastor's deglft; moro "social ..-.nts

for 93 percent of 1tudents in Fall Quutor
1971, for instanco, but only 41 percent in
1976. Comparing th• sam• y•an shows

percent to 18 percent of students.
Individual contracts accounted for 25

Th• Council for Postsecondary Educ•·
tion (CPE) last weok roleased a preliminary draft of the long-a..-aited
Evergreen study. The exhaustive report,
which spans 230 pages and contains
twenty recommendations,
represents a
year of study by CPE 1taff rosearch•rs Bill
Chance and D•nis Cw,-y. It will no doubt
pby a crucial role in the upcoming
legislative debate concerning Evergreen's
futuro. What does it all m•an1
Basically, the study calls for a four•y•ar
"breathing puiod" which would fr•e
Ev•rgreon from any extrrnal threats of
closuro. This would hopefully •liminate
what has been termed a self-fulfilling
prophocy, threats of closure which l•ad
to low enrollment which, in tum, lead to
lower enrollments
. . . During the'
broathing period, funding would .... ntially bo granted, pending yearly •valuations of progress toward increasing
enrollment.
It is significant that eighteen of the
twenty recommendations
are directed
toward Evergreen and the Board of
Trustees, not the Legislature. This assures
that initial changes will occur on a local
level and will not bo mandated by th•
Legislature. The report also emphasizes
the importance of an "institution-wide
effort" involving students, staff, and
faculty to institute changes in order to
boost enrollment. However, should the
College be unable to stem sagging
enrollment by 1983, realignments may
then bo made by I~ 1-4'&islitu~e,.,
.,
Target enrollment le"vt'Isare included in
the first recommendation and are designed
to bring the cost of education per student
at Evergreen in line with the Regional
Universities
(Eastern,
Central,
and
w.. 1.m). Th• roport establish.. that an
enrollment of 4250 students will achieve
this cost parity and should be accomplished by 1984--115.This is a crucial
target, as it means the College must
nearly double enrollment in the next six
yurs. Just a• critical are !argot figures of
2700 FTE by 1980-81 and 3500 FTE by
1983--84 (at the •nd of tho broathing
period).
An mrollmont of 2700 FTE by 1980
means Evergl'ftn must boost enrollment
by noarly 600 stud•nts from tho prosent
level of 2104. Consid..-ing tho problems of
the school, such as its poor image in
Southwest Washington, an increase of this
magnitude seems to be an unrealistic
targot. Image problems aro perhaps th•
hardest to tum around. It takn public
relation programs and outreach to change
peopl•' s misperceptions about th• school.
This takes time. Two years to change an
enrollment
decrease of almost 200
students last y•ar to an inc.-.... of 600 by
1980 doosn't seem .-..sonabl•. It is only
too clear that unrealistic expectations
contributod to Evergreon's prHenl predicament. Whon th• Collogo lint opened,
Evergree:n was expected to grow to 7000
students by 1977-78. This numbor novor
materialized
and, consequently,
the
campu• is ov•rbuilt and underonrolled. It
seems clangorous and .. tf--defuting to
once again make the same unrealistic
projections.
The care and hard work that wmt into
the report is reflected in the many
interviews with present Evergreenen,
graduate, high tchool 1tudent1, cou,-.
lora, and employers.
Most of the
recommendations stem dirKtly from the
interviews.

graduates stressed several needs: a
sustained academic advising program,
simplified
Evergreen
transcripts,
a
master's degree, a Bachelor of Science
d~.
more program continuity, and a
pla<,; fur socializing to foster foeling of
community.
All of these needs are
reflected in the recommendations, and as
the report points out, ''the graduates
expressed,,satisfaction
with the total
educational experience, directing their
remarks to modifications that could make
it still better."
Perhaps the most interesting interviews
were conducted with 750 high school
students in Southwest Washington. In
response to the question as to what they
felt was important in choosing a college,
high school students rated many o( the
things Evergreen offers, such as planning
their own programs, internships, and
written evaluations
of their work.
Remarkably, the areas in which Evergreen
15"perceived to fall short are those very
areas in which the College believes it is
successful. The study concludes that these
interviews ''rather clearly reveal the
College's failure thus far to get its message
across."
Recommendation 15 addresses this
problem. It recommends that Evergreen
"mount an extraordinary and sustained
effort to inform students, counselors, and
others in high schools" about Evergreen to
counteract the bad image and misperceptions.
High school counselors are reluctant to

completion could serve as a further
binding force in making Evergreeners
proud of their community. After all it will
be the only state. owned building with a
Clivis Multrum Composting Toilet. It is
also th• y•a.r that th• Sa.A Board has said
that it is one of its top priorities.
To the perceptive reader the problem is
slmj>1€;money. With the across the board
budget cuts this year it would appe,ar that
there is no solution. However, this is not
true. There is a solution.
As was stated above the money that
was first allocated in 1914 came from the
CAlll'ha .. II rnerv ... Pr...,ntly th•ro is
)95,000 dollars loft in tht.. .-...rv•. Th•
construction of CAB Phase II is not
until Evergtte:n reaches an enrollment
figuro of 3,500. That is probably a good
four yean away. The solution is to direct
a portion of this building fund for th•
completion
ot the Farmhouse.
The
decision ultimately rest with the Board of
Trustees. The decision is whether th,
Farmhouse will turn from a financial
liability to a community and financial
asset.

advise students to attend Evergreen
because they perceive the 'structure' to be
too 'loose' for most 18-year-olds. Consequently the Council recommends that the
Board of Trustees consider first-year and
graduation requirements which would
help students adjust to Evergreen and
provide more guidance.
Employ,rs cited Evergreen graduates as
being su~rior to graduates of traditional
schools in self-directedness
and their
ability to solve probl,ms.
Some employers were critical of the need for
students to design their own programs
from scratch, and questioned the "integrity of some individual learning contracts." A recommendation to reexamine
the ways students are awarded internships
or allowed to arrange independent studies
arose from this criticism.
Since the Legislature directed the
Council to study ways of reducing costs,
Recommendation 7 suggests that Evergreen look at possible ways to reduce
costs through inter-institutional re,source
sharing,
review of overhead
costs
(administrative and support) in a context
of zero real-dollar growth, and using large
class sections to help offset costs of
smaller classes. Though the first two of
these seem desirable the third, using large
class sections. does not. Although it is a
common practice at traditional schools to
do this on a huge scale it would not be
desirable at Evergreen. Seminars with
greater than twenty people often become
lectures and non-participatory, and the
use of student teachers reduce the amount
of faculty access time.
The Evergreen study is a sensitive and
well-documented report. The interviews
show clearly the areas the College needs
to study for possible change. Yet it allows
for this change to occur with the
participation of all who are affKted by
the change. It also dramatizes, but does
not exaggerate,
the extreme need to
communicate
what the College does
internally to those who are not associated
with it and who know little about the
school.
At this moment the study is in draft"
form. On Tuesday. Decembor 12 the
Council for Post5eeondary Education will
discuss the report in Seattle. Final action
will not occur until January 25, when the
CPE meets here at Evergreen. At that
time, the study will go to the Legislature
as an advisory
report
which the
Legislature can accept, change, or reject.
The question is not one of whether
Evergreen will change. Evergreen has
always been and hopefully will continue
to be a flexible alternative. The more
important questions a.re, how will the
College change and who will be involved
in the changing?

Cult dreams of the midnight
by T.J. Simpeon
The "midnight'' movie and/or the "cult"
film has been 1racing (or plaguing)
thntrn acron the country for aome time
now. This is mostly a 10'1 phenomenon
and thi■ article ii an attempt to defineand
analyw the ■o-called "cult" film.
Accordln1 to the critics, there art
certain criterion which qualify a movie u
such. Flnt of all, a cult film pnrrally
doa not pt favorable ttViewt from moet
critics especially the. more rnpectablt
ones. It alao ii u■ually a finandal flop
when originally releutd. Only by word
of mouth dot■ the film pmu a faithful
audience and at fint usually become■
popular at midniaht showinp months or
yean after its reltue.
So, a "cult" can't be IOINthlng that pts
good ttviews, lib aome foreign art film
la CNbrol or a Godard let'■ ■ay) but
bombs at the box offkt. Nor can it be
something popular with a general
a~na,
whether it'■ a Ftllini, aomtthlna
like "Coming home'' or "Airport 19M". A
cult film must Nvt ■ome tpedal, ■t:ranp
appeal all Its own, and it mostly appeals
to white middle clua people in their late
teens or early twentin. npedaJly collqe
students. Most importantly, cult films
usually have the ■amt theme In
common-tNt insanity I■ wonderful and
next to godliness.
This is a very dangcrou■ notion besides
being a very middle clua and naive one.
Those in the lower income bracket■ know
that it's no holiday to be able to flip out,
survival comes fint. State mental institu-iions art mostly filled with thoet from the
lower classes, since thoee from tht upper
classes have caJT from ■hrinb, private
hospitals, and money to help them if

These films al■o promote an ab■urdist
individualism (I'm all for individualism,
but I'm not so hot on absurdity anymott)
that always shows the protagonist■ (or
anyone who is suppc>Rd to be crazy) as
the only good character■, no matter how
insane he is, and tNt everybody tlle Is
the real sicko. Just look at "King of
Hearts," "The Ruling 0..,"
"Harold and

Two cua in point are "King of Hartl"
and FedericoFelllnl.
''Kinaof Hurtl"' ii the granddaddy of
the cults. Rtleued in 1967 It floundered in
obtcurity for year■ until audience■ in
Boston and other cities btpn picking up
on It in the midnight cbadt. It ■oon
bec:amtIO popular that it ■tarted ■howing
everywhere, even in ■mall towns, at
reiuJar 7 and 9 o'clock lhowinp.
The movie ii about a lone ■ol& in
World War I who wanden Into a French
town that has bttn evacuated by
ewryone except the inmate of the. local

ramted the inmates u beinalhown as

It'■ an insult to the■e people, who need
better caft, to be bombardecl..with the
hip, pop peychology of "King ol Hans",
Yet "Kinaof Harts" ii the m.oetreque9leci
film for the Friday Night Film Selin.
Probably the teCOndmost requt1ted
film is Fellini'• "Satyricon". "Satyrlcqn"
doesn't qualify as a cult film due to It■
art-hou1e 1tatu1 and aeneral 1uccea1.
However, It does bring up ■ome
important question■ about the awarene■1
of college audiences.
Federico Felllnl is one of the gratt■t of
contemporary film artkt whoee film■ In
the 1950'1 brought a new 1tylt of
humanism and neo-rullnn to tht cinema.
Yet the■e film■, along with hi■ other
ma■terpltctt, are (with the po11lblt
exceptioN of "la StradaH and "8½")
ignored by the college audiences. They
want to revel in the freaklne11 of
"Satyricon", which ii undoubtedly his

a different one each lhowtns for a period

a very ■mall attendance, except for
"Satyricon", which pacbd the houae for
three lhows. I tried to talk people Into

The ■ame ■ort of thlnJdnacan be
applied to the newest midnight cult rap■,
"Rocky-Honor Picture Show'' and the
ne,ct rap, "Erwrhtad". "Rocky Horror",
a kinky ldddy show, ii beneath contempt,
andthe best that can bt aid of it ii that
most of thekid■ that wonhip it are still in

entertaining than the movie. It', lib
young folk in the 10'1 no longer want to
look ahead or behind. Everything ii just
for tht moment. Strange to think that
bade in the 6'11 It wu a Bergman or
Godard that young people were discovering, not this crap. Now It'• either
punk or dlKo.
Speaking of punk, the punb have their
flr■t cult pa11ion with "Eraserhtad",
which nu been 'becoming mldnfaht
favorite back ea■t. If the audience at the
recent Lakewood 1creenlng was any
lndic.ation, thouah, the film may have a
hard time in Washington, linc:e a lot of
people were thoroughly repu1ad by It. (I

A New CP.J
On Thursday, December 7 (which also happens to b~ the anniversary of
the bombing of Pearl Harbor), the Publications
Board met to select a new
editor for the trouble-plagued
Cooper Point Journal.
Instead of a single
editor, they chose us, seven students proposir.g that the CPJ be run collectively.
We are really excited about this change in the operation of
the CPJ. Having seven peorle (and we are hoping for more) ultimately
resronsible for each issue rather than just one person opens the door to
diverse interests
and id~as.
We intend to drastically
decrease (and hopefully erase) the feeling of isolation
and disconnection
that has caused
so many ~otentially
involved people to not get involved.
We are committed
to making this raper a coll'fllunity newspaper like it has never b~en before.
How do we intend to do thie?
We plan on openir.g up all aepects of the
rroduction of the paper to the Evergreen community. This means copy-editing, proofreading,
layout, graphice, photography, typing, and, or course,
writing.
We are hoping that many reople will contribute
reviews of music,
rlays and booke, pieces of investigative
reporting,
regular columns, articles on important news events, arte and events items, etc.
(We also hope
to offer intermittent
skille workshor,e for people who want to learn some
of these skills.)
But mor~ than this, we want the community to be involved
in running the CPJ. There will be regular weekly meetings (announced in
advance) where you can take part in planning future issues, assigning
articlee,
and discussing
the paper's progress and direction.
Thia paper exists for the benefit of all of ue. We in the collective
just happen to be the present car~takers.
There is no reason for anyone
to feel left out. We hope you will not give a second thought to walking
in when you haTe a span hour and some cr~ative energy to lend to the
effort,
because producing a paper takes a lot of tjme and energy.
It will
only grow healthier
the more we are all involTed.
We are now in CABlOL,
and we are having our second open meeting on Monday, January 8, at noon.
Come on down and visit us.
