Lfirst heard about Evergreen around a
campfire in the Sierra Madre. I was looking for
a· place to teach that emphasized contact with
students in the classroom and the field, not
faculty research in the lab.

Ask Faculty Member Oscar Soule to name
his favorite Evergreen program, and he'll
tell you, "The best program I've had is the
one I'm teaching now. I've been saying
that since 1971." Soule, who teaches life
sciences, holds a Ph.D. in Ecology/Biology
from the University of Arizona.

Junior Na Xiong is planning on entering
medical school after Evergreen. He reports
that his proudest accomplishment was a
class presentation on his native Hmong
culture. "My culture is one that is unknown to most Western people. Sharing it
with my classmates and seeing how much
more they wanted to learn was a great
moment."

Freshman Ramon Alvarez is a Seattle
native who describes himself as outspoken.
Of his first day at Evergreen, he says, "1
was totally blown away! I'd never been in
the same room with so many different,
intelligent and outspoken people. "

Senior Tammy Rae Carland, a firstgeneration college student, reports that
coming to Evergreen was the first time she
had been west of New York City. Her
thoughts on the campus: "They don't grow
them like this in New England!"

An Evergreen education
is collaborative and interdisciplinary. We help students understand
the relationships among the arts, humanities, natural sciences
and social sciences. We give you the opportunity to study the world
from diverse disciplinary and cultural perspectives and to
understand the world as an interconnected and interdependent
entity. The college's curriculum has established such a record
of interdisciplinary and collaborative study that it has come to be
nationally recognized as Evergreen's major innovation and
, a primary reason why students come here to learn.

-

Why do we think
interdisci plinary
study and colla bora tive learning are so
important?

Because problems of today's world
are complex and require you to draw on a wide range of fields,
disciplines and perspectives. Your ability to make reasoned
choices by connecting information from a variety of sources and
points of view will be of vital importance to you and to others.
Learning to make those connections-fitting the pieces togetheris a major purpose of education at Evergreen.

How Our Curriculum Works
In the typical American college, students move from entry level to advanced
work by first fulfilling general education courses and then completing a major, wherein
they pursue one area of study in depth.
Charted out, this curriculum would look like this:

example, English 101 and 102, science

(300 and 400 level) courses and related

In most curricular areas at Evergreen,
two years of study in a concentrated area
is all that you should take; this will be
equivalent to a "major" in another
institution. In a few areas, notably the
sciences, and especially if you are preparing for medical school, a third year of
study is available and necessary. Nonetheless, the undergraduate degree should not
be overspecialized, and it is to your
advantage to pursue a broad course of
study.

Junior Year
Enroll in a more advanced program, such
as "Molecule to Organism," "Environmental Analysis and Governance" or
continue to broaden your education by
taking a program in any area.
Senior Year

emphasizing "advanced" work through
honor's thesis, internship or relevant group
contract. Each area has some of its own
options for advanced work described in
the area description in this catalog.

How Our Education Works

Most Evergreen freshmen begin with a Core Program. These programs are broadly interdisciplinary and taught by a faculty team
whose expertise spans several academic fields. Generally a year long, Core Programs provide opportunities for you to strengthen skills
you'll need at Evergreen and throughout your life: college-level reading, writing, research and discussion skills. Check page 39 for
complete details on Core Programs.
A Coordinated Study Program is interdisciplinary education at its finest. You will explore a range of subjects in
detail, all focused on a central problem or theme. The program will be taught by a team of faculty representing
different disciplines; they will coordinate your academic workload from week to week, so you never have conflicting
assignments. You, the faculty team and 40 to 100 other students become intensively involved in reading and discussing the same books, attending lectures, going on field trips and other activities. In frequent and regular seminars,
you'll have the opportunity to clarify your questions and ideas. With this unified approach, you'll improve your
ability to analyze problems and communicate findings. Most importantly, you'll widen your perspectives.
Group Contracts operate similarly to Coordinated Studies, but are more narrowly focused, smaller
in size and taught by one or two faculty members. Group Contracts make up many of the intermediate and advanced offerings in Evergreen's Specialty Areas, where you begin to specialize in your
own field or related fields of interest.
Individual Learning Contracts and Internships allow upper-division students to
study independently using the perspectives and skills they acquire in Coordinated Studies or Group Contracts. An Individual Learning Contract is an
agreement to study and conduct research on a particular subject or issue with
the guidance of a faculty sponsor. Internships, on the other hand, are opportunities to apply what you've learned in a work situation with the guidance of a
faculty sponsor and an on-the-job field supervisor.

Through these different modes, you will gradually progress from a multi-disciplinary
perspective to a specialized focus. You will also move from beginning to advanced study,
from collaborative projects to independent work, and from theories to practical
applications.
For one example of how Evergreen works, imagine you're generally interested in
environmental studies. If you are a first-year student, most of the Core Programs would
make a good beginning. If you signed up for "Exploration, Discovery and Change,"
you'd investigate that theme from the perspective of several disciplines, as well as work
on the skills you'd need for further study.
If you're already at an intermediate level, you might choose to take "Geography and
Environment" in the Environmental Studies Specialty Area.
The next year, you could enroll in "Riding the Hydrologic Cycle," or to broaden your
perspectives, a course such as "Multicultural Music."
.
As a senior, you might begin your transition to the "real world" by doing a senior
research project on an environmental issue in the community, or perhaps by doing an
internship with the Department of Natural Resources.
You have the option, of course, to follow another progression. There's plenty of room
for flexibility and creativity as you plan because the curriculum is not pre-structured by
departmental requirements.

A Few Words on Diversity
Open almost any college catalog these days and you'll find prominent statements on
diversity.
"Diversity," reads a typical first sentence of one catalog, "is the virtual core of
University life."
"Diversity is rooted deeply in the liberal arts tradition and is key to our educational philosophy," writes another college. And, "Diversity is the hallmark of the ...
[college X]...experience."
Despite the sincerity of these statements, enrollment of students of color in
America's colleges is in decline nationwide. The problem is a complex one. The
solutions must go beyond rhetoric and good intentions.
This catalog also makes strong statements of commitment to multiculturalism and
diversity. We do so knowing that the process of creating a truly multiculural campus
is a long and arduous process. Here is what Evergreen is doing to make our words a
reality.
~ We've adopted a new admissions policy, which gives special recognition to
diverse groups of applicants, i.e., African Americans, Native American Indians/
'Alaska Natives, Asian AmericanslPacific Islanders, Mexicans/Latinos, Vietnam-era
veterans, persons 25 years or older and students whose parents have not graduated
from a four-year college.
Not only is this the first admissions policy of its kind in the state, but it has
received national attention for its innovative approach (New York Times, January
15,1990).
~ As a result of intensive recruitment efforts, Evergreen has one of the highest
percentages (20%) of faculty of color in the nation.
~ Throughout the year, we host and promote campus seminars, guest speakers and
workshops on racism, sexism, social justice and cross-cultural communication and
sensitivity.
~ We are expending substantial time and effort into developing a Strategic Plan for
a Multicultural Campus that will not only bring more people of color to campus, but
will establish a consciousness of racial and cultural diversity throughout our curriculum.
While these first steps are important, we recognize that many more steps must be
taken to define, achieve and maintain a multicultural community. We consider that
task our most important challenge. We encourage you to join us.

Other Evergreen Differences
The center of learning at Evergreen is you,
the student. Evergreen prides itself on
being a distinctive student-centered
learning environment. Being "studentcentered" means that teaching and
learning is the primary mission of the
institution, and that the structure of the
college promotes effective learning. Being
student-centered also means that students
are given meaningful opportunities for
making choices, developing their own
perspectives, and becoming socially
responsible citizens.
Evergreen's philosophy is that education
should enhance the breadth and depth of a
student's knowledge and skill and foster a
sense of personal empowerment and social
responsibility. Three basic tenets of this
philosophy are: (1) that students should
begin in broad, interdisciplinary programs
and work toward more independent,
specialized study; (2) students know best
what subjects and styles of learning they
need, and (3) since learning is by its nature
a social activity, it is best fostered in a
collaborative rather than a competitive
learning environment.

Our Faculty

Narrative Evaluations

At Evergreen, you'll find a faculty committed to excellence in education. Among
other things, this means faculty members
are more accessible to students, receptive
to their ideas and open to their concerns.
Students' evaluations of their faculty
members' teaching become part of their
professional portfolios and are one of the
main measures of their effectiveness when
they undergo periodic evaluation by
Evergreen's academic deans.
Faculty are hired and evaluated primarily on the quality of their teaching, not on
the basis of their research or how many
articles they have published. The main
emphasis is on teaching at Evergreen. On
the average, our faculty spend nearly onethird more hours in direct teaching contact
with their students than is the norm at
most public institutions of higher education.

Evergreen faculty write narrative evaluations of each student's work instead of
giving grades. These evaluations describe
in detail just what the student planned to
do in the program or contract; how well
they approached and solved problems,
worked with others and expressed
themselves in written and spoken work;
the student's area of concentration, and
how well they succeeded. Narrative
evaluations precisely chart the student's
academic development and achievement,
providing him or her much more meaning
and insight thari any set of letter or
number grades.
The faculty evaluation of student work
also lists a set of Course Equivalencies
that divides the program or contract into
its constituent parts to aid other schools or
future employers in translating the credit
earned into approximations of traditional
courses. Sometimes these translations
of equivalencies are easy to make,
i.e., "4 credits-Introductory
Psychology,
3 credits- Theoretical Physics"; but
sometimes the program work resists simple
translation. In either case, these equivalencies are generally indicated at the end of
each program description in this catalog
and initial program materials.
Faculty members have final responsibility for seeing that their program's curricular plan is carried out. They also bear final
responsibility for all matters of academic
credit.
The criteria for awarding credit are
spelled out in program covenants and
should also be specified in each individual
contract. Although there may be some
negotiation between you and your faculty
on particular matters, the program
covenant, or the contract, always sets the
limits. You can and should discuss all this
thoroughly with your faculty.

At Evergreen, You'll Become an
Independent Thinker
At the heart of most Evergreen interdisciplinary programs is the seminar, where one
faculty member and an average of 20
students meet regularly for extended
exploration of a crucial topic or reading.
Although up to 100 students and a fivemember faculty team may be involved in a
Coordinated Study Program, much of a
student's time is spent in these small group
discussions.
The faculty leader and students ready
themselves for seminars, which meet once
or twice a week, by reading the same
materials, by writing and by preparing
brief reports. Then they gather to share
their understandings and sort out differences. Through this close collaboration
with faculty and fellow students, you will
learn to research your ideas, to express
yourself clearly, and to work cooperatively-abilities Evergreen graduates have
found essential in their lives and careers.

Self-Evaluations

Evaluation Conferences

Each student also writes a self-evaluation. You will describe your work in your own
words, explaining what was most important to you, and why. You will offer evidence of
your comprehension and provide details about your progress and success in the program.
The self-evaluation, when done carefully and seriously, often represents a major part of
your learning experience, for in it you summarize your experience, putting everything in
order and connecting this study to your past learning and future directions. Self-evaluations are often the most revealing documents in a student's transcript.

The final week of every quarter is Evaluation Week. It corresponds to the conventional "exam week," except that it is
devoted entirely to writing and discussing
student and faculty evaluations.
Each faculty member has somewhat
different practices, simply because each has
a personal style. But there are some
uniformities. Students in programs and
contracts should have individual conferences with their faculty to discuss the
evaluations. Your self-evaluation, your
evaluation of the faculty, and the faculty
evaluation of your work are all part of
conference discussions.

Student Evaluations of Faculty
Students have the right and responsibility to evaluate the work of their faculty sponsors
and seminar leaders. These evaluations are used by the faculty in their own development,
and can guide them toward the improvement of their own teaching strategies. Faculty
need to know specifically what you think has and has not worked.
Student evaluations of faculty also are used by the academic deans, along with other
information, in helping with faculty development, and in determining whether or not.
faculty are retained. At a school where teaching is the most important commitment,
student evaluations of faculty are among the most important documents.
You can complete your evaluation of any faculty member with whom you work after
they have completed your evaluation. This eliminates any suggestion that their award of
credit may have been influenced by your evaluation of them, and allows you to give a
frank critique. This is done by turning your evaluation in to the program secretary who
gives it to the faculty member after credit has been awarded.

In 1989, a questionnaire was mailed to 600 of the 2,188 alums who graduated in
1985-1987. Completed questionnaires were returned by 343 alumni, a response rate of
57 percent.
Some of the questions on the survey paralleled questions used on the American College
Testing Alumni Survey, so that the responses of Evergreen alumni could be compared to
national norms. Those norms represent 24,813 alumni of public colleges who were
surveyed in 1984-85 and 1985-86.

Eight Easy Steps to Picking Your Program
~,L-------------------1-.-c-o-n-s-id-e-r-w-h-a-t-y-o-u-w--a-nt-t-o-s-w--d-y.'1
"'

Consider your career goals, if you already have them. Also consider anything else that
interests you and is important to you. It is true that you usually take only one program at a
time at Evergreen, but those programs cover many different subjects. So give yourself the
chance to learn broadly.

"
"

/
/

/
/
/

/
/
/

2. Read the Catalog to find the appropriate program for you.
~ If you are a freshman,
your choice should be one of the Core Programs. Core Programs are described on pages
39-42. Almost any Core Program can lead into any area of specialization.
~ If you are a transfer student,
look up the subjects that interest you in the Academic Index, beginning on page 110. This
lists all the programs which cover your subjects. Sometimes a Core Program will look just
right, especially if you are transferring as a first- or second-year student. For some transfers,
an intermediate or advanced program in a specialty area may be the rjght choice. If a
specialty area is listed under your subject in the index, read overall the offerings in that
area.
3. Other things to look for in the Catalog:
~ Look at the Academic Pathways
described in the specialty areas where your interests lie. Pathways will suggest a logical
sequence for your years of study in a particular field, and help you decide where to begin.
~ Examine the planned equivalencies
at the end of each program description to see the full range of subject matter it will cover.
The equivalencies may change as faculty develop the program's theme, but the Catalog
description will give you a general idea of content.
~ Browse over a number of possibilities
before you settle on one. Try to choose at least three alternates before you take the next
step.

\

4. Discuss your choices and goals
with your faculty, or with the faculty and staff in the Academic Advising Office. Academic
Advising keeps program descriptions that will have been expanded and updated from what
you read in this Catalog. Often, programs which appear only vaguely appropriate in the
Catalog reveal themselves as exactly appropriate when you read the latest details. Academic
Advising also gives you information about new or revised programs.

/
/

5. Attend the Academic Fair
which is described on page 18. The faculty will be assembled there, all in one place at one
time, sitting at tables marked with their program titles. You can discuss program content,
style and requirements directly with the program faculty.
~ Ask all questions, share your puzzlements and enthusiasms. Don't hesitate to ask for
advice. If a program isn't right for you, faculty will direct you to other options.

\

\
\

6. Choose your program.
In all these discussions-with the Academic Advising Office, with prospective faculty-keep
your goals in mind and, also, the range of your interests and needs.
~ Ask for any help you need in making your choice.

Answers To Some Frequently Asked Questions

I'm undecided about what I want to study.
Do I need to know exactly
what I want to do?

No. Although it often helps, sometimes it's a hindrance if you want to explore.
Coordinated Study programs are excellent places for pursuing what you want to do, or
discovering directions that are wholly new and unexpected.

Who will help me choose which
program to take each quarter?

The Academic Advising Office, your current program faculty, the faculty in areas which
interest you. Conversations with these individuals and careful reading of the Catalog will
give you the information you need to make curriculum decisions. Also, see Academic Fair
(page 18).

Who will help me plan
my degree program?

Your program faculty and the Student Advising Center (SAC) staff, specifically, the
Academic Advising and Career Development Office which are part of SAC. Any or all of
the above. When in doubt, go to the Student Advising Center.

Who is allowed to do an Internship?
When?

Some programs incorporate Internships in their learning plan. Internships can also be
arranged outside of programs through Internship Learning Contracts. A limited number
of Internships are available, and priority is given to juniors and seniors who have
completed one quarter of satisfactory work at Evergreen. All Internships must be
approved by the Office of Cooperative Education, which is part of the Student Advising
Center. See page 86.

Will I receive letter or numerical grades?

The faculty assess the quality of the work done by means of detailed written evaluations.
Evergreen uses this system in lieu of letter or numerical grades. See pages 12 and 13.

Are all 1991-92 programs listed in this
Catalog, or are others added later?

Most full-time programs were planned more than a year before the 1991-92 academic
year. Information about changes and additions will be available at the Academic
Advising Office. Part-time offerings, which are described briefly in this Catalog, are
planned shortly before the quarter they are offered. They are publicized in a quarterly
publication distributed on campus, The Evergreen Times.
The Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Science, the Master of Teaching, the Master of
Public Administration and the Master of Environmental Studies.

What are advanced study
opportunities at Evergreen?

Coordinated Studies programs and group contracts are available for advanced, upper
division students in the specialty areas and as interdivisional offerings. Advanced students
may also pursue individualized options, such as individual contracts, Internships or enroll
in the student-originated study programs available in the humanities and the arts.

Where can I get more
information about programs?

The Academic Advising Office in the Student Advising Center often has more detailed
program descriptions, including book lists and weekly schedules. These are also available
at the Academic Fairs or directly from program faculty and secretaries.

Can I take more than one
program at a time?

Since Evergreen believes that focused study in one program is what makes the college
distinctive, taking more than one program or a series of courses at one time is not
encouraged.

Can I take courses in addition to a
full-time program?

Sometimes. Each program description in this Catalog specifies whether additional courses
may be substituted for portions of that program, if they are more in keeping with your
academic goals. You can also negotiate this with program faculty.

Who is allowed to do an individual
learning contract?

Usually advanced, highly motivated students with a specific project in mind. Also, many
programs allow individual projects. Individual contracts are only available in very limited
numbers. Entering students should not seek individual contracts.

An Evergreen Glossary
A( a de m I( Ad uismq
A key part of the Student Advising Center, the
Academic Advising Office provides students upto-date information on programs, faculty and
academic services. You'll also receive advisingformal and informal-on an ongoing basis from
faculty in your programs and areas of interest.
Hr e d ernlc

Fail

A mass gathering of faculty and students where
faculty are available to explain upcoming
programs or discuss possible contracts with
students. Held in the Library Lobby at the
beginning of each academic year and toward the
ends of Fall, Winter and Spring Quarters,
Academic Fairs are chaotic, fun and informative. Faculty sit at tables; signs indicate their
program or contract assignment for the quarter.
Personnel from Academic Advising and the
Office of Registration and Records also attend,
as do the academic deans. Check with Academic
Advising, Admissions or Registration and
Records for dates and times.
A( e d e rnir Pe ttuue q s
The way to specialize in a particular field of
study at Evergreen is to plan an academic or
career "pathway." Talk with Academic
Advising or an Evergreen faculty member
teaching in the field of your interest to find out
how to plan your own academic pathway.
Ht hle t ir S

Evergreen fields intercollegiate teams in men's
and women's soccer and swimming and diving.
There are also a number of club sports, the most
popular of which are sailing, crew, ultimate
frisbee, tennis, cross country running, track and
field, and basketball.

There are three kinds of academic contracts at
Evergreen: Group Contracts, Individual
Learning Contracts and Internship Contracts.

Cuorume t e d Study Program
An academic program with a faculty team of
two to five, and 40 to 100 students. Primarily
full-time and one or more quarters in length,
Coordinated Studies focus on interdisciplinary
study and research of a particular theme or
topic.
Core

Pruqrarn

s

Designed for first-year college students, these
introductory programs are appropriate for
transfer and returning students as well. You can
think of Core Programs as Coordinated Studies
for beginners because they emphasize studying
in several disciplines and improving skills such
as college-level reading, writing and research.
For more information, turn to page 39.

The initials stand for Disappearing Task Force.
Evergreen's planners wanted to avoid permanent committees, so they created DTFs to study
problems, make recommendations and then
disappear. Students are encouraged to participate on any of the approximately 20 DTFs
usually active in the course of an academic year.
Environment

A big issue at Evergreen. Many people study
the natural environment in academic programs
and on their own. If you want to learn
environmental science on land, in water and in
the air, this is the place to do it. (We even have
our own beach.) May also refer to "Evergreen
environment," meaning the sense of campus
community.
Equivalencies

The approxima te course titles and credit hours
listed at the end of the program descriptions on
pages 40-85. These will be listed as final "course
equivalencies" at the end of a faculty evaluation
of your academic work. This is the way
Evergreen translates interdisciplinary studies
into course titles similiar to those at other
institutions. Students may earn equivalencies in
four to six disciplines. For example, you might
be awarded credit in history, mathematics,
science and writing for your work in a single
Coordinated Study.
Evaluation

Credits

Full-time students at Evergreen earn 12-16
credits, or quarter hours, per quarter; the
maximum allowed is 16. The amount of credit
generated by a program is clearly specified at
the end of the evaluation written by the faculty
member on the student's academic performance.
See program descriptions, pages 40-89.

Evergreen's grading system consists of a
narrative evaluation of a student's academic
work at the end of each quarter. Faculty
members write evaluations of each student's
work and progress; each student writes a selfevaluation as well as a faculty evaluation.
Usually one typed page, these official documents
make up your permanent transcript.
Evaluation

Conference

A quarterly conference in which a faculty
member and student discuss their evaluations of
the student's work. Conferences occur during
Evaluation Week, the eleventh and final week of
each quarter.

Seminars

One of the central experiences of an Evergreen
education, seminars usually meet twice weekly
to discuss the readings assigned in a particular
program. The discussion group consists of a
faculty member and an average of 20 students.
The faculty member or, often, a student leads or
facilitates the seminar. Participants are expected
to prepare for the seminar by reading and
analyzing the book to be discussed.

formal academic record.

Study

Most Evergreen programs are designed for fulltime study, but some offer part-time options in
the evening for working adults. Evergreen offers
some half-time programs for working students,
often on Saturdays, and there are also part-time
courses (4 quarter hours) which can fit into
most any schedule. Sometimes part-time courses
are available only to regularly admitted
students.

To distinguish Evergreen's offeringsTrom the
traditional courses or classes of other institutions, we use the term "programs" to indicate
an academic offering that is multidisciplinary
and full-time or nearly so. Students enroll in one
program at a time, often for a full year of study.
Reheat

Many academic programs go on retreat during
the year, often off campus. Retreats allow for
secluded work on a particular project or the
finale to an entire year's studies. Also, the whole
curriculum is planned at an annual Faculty
Retreat. The programs in this catalog were
planned at the Faculty Retreat of_spring, 1990.

individual and collective growth in a
democratic society. To that end, we
welcome students of diverse culture, race,
age, previous educational and work
experience, geographical locations and
socio-economic backgrounds.
The college seeks qualified students who
demonstrate a spirit of inquiry and a
willingness to participate in their educational process within a collaborative
framework.
The college desires students who also
express an interest in campus or community involvement, a respect and tolerance
for individual differences, and a willingness to experiment with innovative modes

categories for local residents interested in
college work but not currently seeking a
baccalaureate degree. Both categories may
be limited in the amount of credit for
which students can register.
Special Students receive credit and
narrative evaluation. They may later apply
for admission as described in the" Admission Procedure" section. Upon acceptance,
their previous work is credited toward a
degree.
Auditors receive neither credit nor
narrative evaluation to be advanced
toward a degree if they later apply for
admission. '

Transfer of Credit

To transfer credit, supply official
transcripts of all previous work when you
apply for admission. Policy varies depending on the kind of institution from which
you transfer and the kinds of coursework
involved. In general, courses are acceptable
in which a minimum 2.0 grade point or
grade of C was received. Courses in
physical education, remedial work,
military science and religion are not
transferable. Some vocational and personal
development courses are transferable,
others are not. Contact Admissions for
details and obtain the Transfer/Guide.

institutions, technical institutes, military,
art and music institutes, foreign colleges
and universities and proprietary schools
(such as business colleges and correspondence schools) are evaluated by the
Admissions-office (see also, Prior Learning
from Experience, page 86). Work performed should be equivalent to' work for
which a four-year college or university
would normally give credit toward a
bachelor's degree and is evaluated on a
case-by-case basis.

Community College Transfer
If you are a transfer student who has
completed the appropriate academic
transfer Associate degree at a Washington
state community college, you may receive
the maximum of 90 transfer credits. Since
community colleges offer several degree
programs, you should consult your advisor
for more specific information.

Upside-Down Program
If you hold a vocational or technical
Associate degree from an accredited twoyear community college, you may be
eligible for the Upside-Down Program.
Working with a faculty committee, you
earn 90 credits at Evergreen in interdisciplinary study designed to assure a level of
general education comparable to other
bachelor's degree recipients. Upon
successful completion of 90 credits, your
voc/tech degree, including all transfer
credit, will be posted as 90 transfer credits
and you will be recommended for a
bachelor's degree. Non-completion of the
recommended 90 Evergreen credits results
in a course-by-course evaluation of the
voc/tech coursework, which usually results
in less than 90 transfer credits.
Minimum eligibility criteria include a
cumulative grade average of at least a 2.5
and satisfactory completion of at least one,
preferably two, English composition
course(s). Generally, associate degrees in
forestry, fisheries, business, computer
programming, social services, nursing,
education, communications and health
services are acceptable for the UpsideDown Program. Please contact the
Admissions Office about your eligibility,
which must be approved no later than the
30th day of your first quarter.

Credit for Military and Flight Training
If you are an admitted student, credit for
military training may be applied to your
graduation requirements as part of the 135
quarter-hour transfer credit maximum.
Military training is evaluated by the
Credentials Evaluator in Admissions in
consultation with the Office of Registration and Records and is based upon the
recommendations of the American Council
on Education's guide.
You must provide copies of your DD214 and any certificates you earned while
serving in the military. The Office of
Veterans Affairs can assist you in obtaining copies of these records if they are not
part of your portfolio.
While no credit is granted for Basic
Training, many other courses you have
completed and ratings you have acheived
may be transferable. This source of credit
may also be applicable to the bachelor of
science requirements at both the lowerand upper-division levels.
An earned pilot's license is another
source of credit which may transfer.
Varying amounts of credit are awarded for
a commercial/instrument license, multiengine rating, airline transport pilot license
and flight instructor license. No credit,
however, is given for possession of a
private pilot's license.
Credit for Training Sequences
Work for which you have earned a
recognized certificate may apply as transfer
credit if it is comparable to the quality of
work you might do under the direction of
an Evergreen faculty member. It must alsobe in an area which the college recognizes
as applicable to a bachelor's degree.
Special job-related courses completed
outside accredited institutions are an
example of this type of credit. The credit
can be academic or vocational and must
conform to all transfer credit requirements.
You must submit to the Credentials
Evaluator in Admissions a copy of your
certificate, a course description or syllabus,
an evaluation of the quality of your work
and a completed "Certificate Evaluation
Cover Sheet" available only in the
Admissions Office. The Credentials
Evaluator may submit your application to
qualified faculty for further review.
Generally up to one quarter hour of
credit may be generated for every 30 hours
you spend in class. Contact Admissions for
more information on this possible source
of transfer credit.

Financial Aid
Evergreen participates in most federal and
state financial aid programs. You must
apply for these programs every year.
Financial application packets are generally
available by mid-January. Because funds
are limited, it is recommended you submit
your 1991-92 Financial Aid Form to the
College Scholarship Service by February
15, 1991, to receive full consideration for
all available campus-based financial aid.

Evergreen's goal is to provide financial
guidance to all students, and financial aid
to those who could not otherwise attend
Evergreen. Grants, loans, employment or
a combination of these are based on
financial need and can only supplement the
contribution of the student and his or her
family. Priority is given to full-time
students seeking a first bachelor's or
master's degree.
Financial aid is distributed quarterly by
the Financial Aid Office to coincide with
tuition and fee payments. All charges are
deducted from the quarterly award, with
the balance paid to the student during the
first week of instruction. Exceptions are
Guaranteed Student Loans, which have
rolling disbursement dates based on
remittance by the student's lender, and oncampus work-study earnings, which are
distributed through monthly payroll
checks.
The Financial Aid Office also offers
financial counseling and maintains a listing
of-part-time employment opportunities
both on- and off-campus.

Scholarships
A variety of scholarships funded by the
College's Foundation and private donors is
available. Most of these scholarships are
awarded on the basis of merit, e.g., high
academic achievement, community service,
artistic or musical talent, etc. For more
information about these scholarships,
please write or call the Office of the Dean
of Enrollment Services (206) 866-6000,

between the states of Washington and
Oregon, Evergreen is allocated a number
of tuition waivers for Oregon residents.
Graduate students and undergraduate
students of junior standing or above may
apply. Legislation in process could affect
the Washington/Oregon reciprocity
agreement. Washington and the Province
of British Columbia have a similar
reciprocity agreement. For information,
contact the Office of Regis5ration and
Records.
Billing and Payment Procedures
Student Accounts assembles all student
financial information, both charges and
credits, and prepares a periodic statement.
This allows registered students to submit a
single check for tuition, fees, housing and
other charges by mail or night depository.
The Cashier's Office is open 10 a.m.-4
p.m., Monday-Friday.
Tuition and fees are billed quarterly by
mail if you are "preregistered." Payments
must be in the Cashier's Office by 3:45
p.m. of the second class day.
Failure to pay tuition and fees by this
deadline will result in disenrollment.
Payments must be received by the deadline;
i.e., postmarks are not considered.
Students allowed to register during the
second class week must pay a $15 late
registration fee. Students allowed to
register after the tenth class day must pay a
$50 late registration fee. Students who are
dropped after the 30th calendar day for
non-payment of tuition and fees must pay
a $50 reinstatement fee to re-enroll.

As a young girl, Faculty Member Ratna
Roy learned to perform Buddhist and
Hindu dances. That devotion continued
throughout her life as she has extensively
studied goddess worship, East and West,
through books, journals, films and art. She
has earned degrees from universities in
India and the U.S., including a Ph.D. in
English from the University of Oregon.

Academic Regulations
Registration
New and Continuing Student
Enrollment Process
If you are a continuing student, you should
consult registration information that is
mailed out each quarter. You should select
your academic programs for the following
year during advance registration in midMay. If you are a new student, you will be
asked to participate in an orientation and
an academic advising session before you
register. The Admissions Office will inform
you about the dates.
All programs are filled on a first-come,
first-served basis, and some require a
faculty interview or audition for entry.
Early registration will increase your
chances of getting into the program of
your choice. As a full-time Evergreen
student, you will be enrolled in only one
full-time learning activity. When you
enroll, you will designate the length of
your program or contract by specifying the
beginning and ending dates. You also will
specify the number of quarter credit hours
you'll take per quarter during that period.
There will be no need to re-enroll each
quarter during this designated period if
you continue in the same program or
contract. Changes in the dates or amount
of credit need to be made as far in advance
as possible to assure proper assessment of
tuition and fees.
Any changes in the number of quarter
credit hours for which you are registered
must be submitted to the Office of
Registration and Records no later than the
fifth day of any quarter.
Special registration periods are held for
those desiring to enroll as non-degree
seeking Special Students or Auditors.
These special registration periods usually
coincide with the opening dates announced
in both on- and off- campus publications.
Throughout the year, important
information will be mailed to you from a
variety of sources, therefore you are
required to keep a current address-even
one of short duration-on file with the
Office of Registration and Records
throughout your stay at the college. (See
also Billing and Payment Procedures, page
26.)

To Drop Or Change A Program
If you want to reduce credit, or drop or
change a program, you must do so by the
30th calendar day of the quarter. Use a
Change of Registration Form from the
Office of Registration and Records, and
also check to see if faculty signatures are
required for the particular programs
involved. It is essential to complete these in
advance. See Refunds/Appeals on page 26.
Withdrawal
You may withdraw any time up to the
30th calendar day of the quarter, but
please inform the Office of Registration
and Records. See the tuition and fee refund
schedule on page 26.

Leave of Absence
If you have been regularly admitted and
registered and need to "step out" for
awhile, you are eligible for a leave of
absence of no more than one year. If you
are not enrolled in a program or contract
by the enrollment deadline, you are
considered to be on leave (up to one year
for undergraduate and one quarter for
graduate students).
Academic Credit
General Policies
You accumulate academic credit for work
well done and levels of performance
reached and surpassed. Only if you fulfill
. academic obligations will full credit,
expressed in quarter hours, be entered on
the permanent academic record. Evergreen
will not accept credit twice for the same
coursework.
Partial Credit Options
Some programs will make provisions for
partial credit; others will not. That
determination rests with the faculty of
each particular program or contract.
Faculty will announce their policy at the
outset of the quarter. Exceptions are made
only with their approval.
Evaluation
Evergreen's credit system distinguishes
between quantity and quality. The
quantity of your academic work is
recognized by an award of credit based on
satisfactory completion of program,
contract or course requirements. The
quality of your work is expressed in a
written evaluation.
To evaluate your work, you meet
individually with the faculty member who
leads your seminar. At the end of each
quarter, two evaluations are written about
your academic accomplishments, one by
your faculty member and one by yourself.
For more about this unique way of
grading, turn to page 12.

Appeals of Evaluation
Wording and Credit
The faculty member has the right to make
the final determination of credit and
evaluation wording. However, students
have a right to an appeal for mediation
and procedural review. A right to an
appeal should be identified in each
program covenant, but is presumed to
exist in any case as a right to appeal to the
members of a program team who are not
directly involved in the award of credit.
For cases where a student is working with
a single faculty member or where all
members of a program team are- directly
implicated in the evaluation, a student may
appeal directly to the dean responsible for
that .program team .
Typically, when the student is a member
of a program, the first appeal should be
made to the program team. If a satisfactory resolution to the issues is not reached,
a further appeal may be made to the
team's academic dean. To make an appeal,
a student should submit a written notice of
appeal to other members of a faculty team
with a duplicate copy to the dean responsible for that program.

Arnaldo Rodriguez
Dean of Enrollment Services

Academic Honesty
Academic honesty is a necessity in a
learning community. It makes coherent
discourse possible, and is a condition for
all sharing, dialogue and evaluation. All
forms of academic dishonesty, including
cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic
dishonesty and plagiarism are violations of
the Social Contract. Cheating is defined as
intentional using or attempting to use
unauthorized materials, information or
study aids in any academic exercise.
Plagiarism is defined as representing the
works or ideas of another as one's own in
any academic exercise. It includes but is
not limited to copying materials directly,
failure to cite sources of arguments and
data, and failure to explicitly acknowledge
joint work or authorship of assignments.

Record Keeping
Transcript and Portfolio
The transcript and portfolio are the main
records of your academic achievement at
Evergreen. Maintained by the Office of
Registration and Records, your transcript
will include all work done for credit, the
official description of the program or
contract, faculty evaluations and, when
required, your own evaluations.
Unless you go on a leave of absence,
withdraw or change programs, credit and
.evaluations are reported only at the end of
a program or contract. Once the evaluation is accepted in the Office of Registration and Records a copy is sent to you. If
you need your faculty to further revise
your evaluation, you have 60 days or until
you request your transcript to be sent out,
whichever comes first.
Since your self-evaluation becomes part
of your permanent transcript, pay close
attention to spelling, typographical errors,
appearance and content before you turn it
in. Your self evaluation cannot be removed
or revised once it has been received in the
Office of Registration and Records.
The entire body of information is mailed
when a transcript is requested, although
graduate students who also attended
Evergreen as undergraduates may request
transcripts of only their graduate work.
Please allow two weeks for processing
between your request (and $10 fee) and
mailing of the transcript. Evergreen
reserves the right to withhold transcripts
from students who are in debt to the
institution. If you need more information
on this issue, contact the Office of
Registration and Records.
You maintain your own portfolio, which
should include official descriptions of all
your programs and contracts, copies of
faculty evaluations, and your own selfevaluations, particularly those not in the
transcript. You should also include
examples of your best work and any other
pertinent information.
The portfolio is your academic biography, to be shared with faculty during your
learning experience and with graduate
schools and prospective employers in
future interviews.

Retention of Records
Credentials, including original documents
submitted in support of an application for
admission, become the property of the
college and are not returnable or reproducible. Transcripts of students who do not
register for the term for which they applied
will be held two years before being
discarded.
You must request transcripts of work
done at other schools directly from those
schools, not from copies in Evergreen's
files.
Confidentiality of Records
Evergreen complies with the federal Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,
which establishes fair information
practices regarding student records at
American colleges and universities. Copies
of Evergreen's policies may be obtained
from the Office of Registration and
Records or the Office of the Dean of
Enrollment Services.
Academic Standing Policy
The academic standing of each Evergreen
student is carefully monitored to ensure
the full development of his or her academic
potential. Any student not making
satisfactory academic progress, as defined
below, is informed of her or his standing in
the college and is advised accordingly.
Faculty evaluation of student achievement formally occurs at the conclusion of
programs, contracts, courses and internships. In addition, any student in danger of
receiving less than full credit is so notified
in writing at mid-quarter by his or her
sponsor. A student making unsatisfactory
academic progress will receive an Academic Warning and may be required to
take a Leave of Absence.
1. Academic Warning. A student who
earns fewer than three-fourths the number
of registered credits in two successive
quarters will receive an Academic Warning
issued by the Dean of Enrollment Services.
A student registered for six (6) quarter
credit hours or more who receives no
credit in any quarter will receive an
Academic Warning. Such warning will
urge the student to seek academic advice
or personal counseling from a member of
the faculty or through appropriate offices
in Student Affairs. A student will be
removed from Academic Warning status
upon receiving at least three-fourths of the
credit for which he or she is registered in
two successive quarters.

2.Required Leave of Absence. A student
who has received an Academic Warning
and who, at the next evaluation period,
receives either an incomplete or fewer than
three-fourths of the credit for which she or
he is registered will be required to take a
Leave of Absence, normally for one full
year. A waiver of Required Leave can be
granted only by the academic dean
responsible for academic standing upon
the student's presentation of evidence of
extenuating circumstances. A student
returning from Required Leave will reenter on Academic Warning and be
expected to make satisfactory progress
toward a bachelor's degree. Failure to earn
at least three-fourths credit at the first
evaluation period will result in dismissal
from Evergreen.
Graduation Requirements
The minimum requirement for awarding
either the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or the
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) is 180 quarter
credit hours. Continuation beyond 200
quarter credit hours without graduating
requires approval by an academic dean.
If you transfer credit from another
college, you must earn at least 45 of the
last 90 quarter credit hours while enrolled
at Evergreen to be eligible for an Evergreen
degree. Prior Learning credit or CLEP tests
do not satisfy the 45 credit requirement.
If you have a baccalaureate degree from
a regionally accredited institution (including Evergreen), and wish to earn a second
baccalaureate degree, you must earn at
least 45 additional quarter credit hours as
an enrolled Evergreen student.
The B.S. degree requirement also
includes 72 quarter credit hours in
mathematics and natural science, of which
48 quarter credit hours must be in
advanced subjects.
Concurrent award 0'£ a B.A. and B.S.
requires at least 225 quarter hours,
including 90 at Evergreen, and application
at least one year in advance.
An application, exit interview and
payment of a $25 fee are necessary for
graduation. Contact the Office of Registration and Records at least one quarter in
advance of the anticipated graduation
date.

about, I can do," says senior Nikki
McClure. This year she teamed with other
students to write, edit, illustrate and
publish The Evergreen Natural History

Special Features of the Curriculum
Interdivisional Offerings
A well-known aspect of Evergreen's interdisciplinary curriculum is the way academic
programs integrate several disciplines in the
study of one problem or theme. The
programs listed below are especially
interdisciplinary, so much so because they are
team-taught by faculty from divergent
specialty areas and possibly of equal interest
to students with widely different fields of
interest.

International Studies and
Opportunities to Study Abroad
Evergreen offers a variety of ways to study
different cultures both in Olympia and
abroad. The curriculum offers a variety of
year-long programs with an international
theme within the various specialty areas and
the core curriculum. Opportunities are
available for part-time language study.
Evergreen students also may pursue
options to study abroad through individual
learning contracts, group contracts or
programs offered by other
universities.
For further information regarding these
options, contact the Student Advising Center
, preferably a year before you seek to study
abroad.
Other programs in the curriculum offer an
international focus. The Language and
Culture Center, in particular, usually offers
one or more programs each year that travel
abroad for at least a quarter.

Before attending
Evergreen I only saw
myself as a behind-thescenes support person.

Jan James recently served an internship as an
artist-in-residence coordinator for the
Washington State Department of Corrections.
She managed a program that included
teaching art workshops to the inmates. The
internship, she says was a perfect way to
"connect my love of art and emerging talents
as an organizer and leader."

Core Programs
Core Programs are designed to give students
in their first or second year of college a solid
foundation of knowledge and skills in
preparation for more advanced studies. Core
Programs will introduce you to the central
mode of study at Evergreen-the
Coordinated Study Program, in which faculty
members from three or four different
disciplines use their knowledge to help you
explore a central theme or problem. This
interdisciplinary approach means you will
study a situation as a whole, not as a
collection of unrelated fragments. Core
Programs reveal the full breadth of the issues
that will concern you-the connection of
artistic expression to social conditions, for
example, or the relation of biological facts to
individual psychology.
Core Programs emphasize the development
of skills necessary for you to do successful
college work. For most students this means
learning how to write well in various modes,
read carefully, analyze arguments, reason
quantitatively, work cooperatively in small
projects or discussion groups, and use the
many resources in the Library. Core
Programs also help you connect your studies
with your own intellectual and personal
concerns and make responsible decisions
about your education.

Each of the Core Programs listed in this
section is an integrated study program that
combines several activities: seminars,
individual conferences with faculty members,
lectures, field trips, laboratories-whatever
is
appropriate. In a Core Program you learn
about the program theme or topic at the
same time you learn about your own goals,
about defining problems and dealing with
them, and about the college's people and
facilities.

Your identity as homo sapiens and as an
"astronaut on spaceship earth" is a matter of
individual perception and is intimately
related to your own particular world view.
Conflicting ideas and paradigms may emerge
from your thoughts based on contemporary
and multiculturally diverse under.standings to
form an ever changing dialectic. These
representations are often spatially and
chronologically removed from the reality of
the environments in which you live. Sometimes it seems difficult to find congruency or
achieve integration and relevancy in life.
This program will explore some of the
social, economic, technological, intellectual,
cultural, physical and historical environments
in which we live with a view toward
discovering who we are and developing a
better understanding of ourselves in relation
to these environments and to the rapid
changes occurring in them. The focus of our
explorations and discoveries will be the
Pacific Northwest, its history, peoples,
environment, economy and waters.
The "view" from the deck of a fast moving
sailboat with sails flapping, snapping and
fluttering and the wind and foam in your face
can often be the catalyst that helps put it all
in perspective. The challenge of sea and sail
means something different for each and yet,
strangely enough, results in an awareness of
something larger than ourselves.
Come explore and discover through books,
boats, people and through your own writing,
observations and thought.

Food is part of our existence and much of
our daily routine.
This program will explore the cultural role
of food through a diverse array of analytical
tools and models. Through an extensive
review of food themes in literature, film,
economics and cultural practice, an understanding of the centrality of food to the
human psyche will be acquired. For example,
food has been used as a weapon on many
scales. From 'systematic bartering and in
some instances to the starvation of populations and of individual people, food serves as
a means of conquest and oppression. On
another scale, the use of food in initiation
rites and family practices has been central to
the function and transmission of culture.
Not only will students examine the
theoretical and political role of food, but a
variety
labs in food preparation and ritual
practice will place the student close to the
subject matter at the table. Field trips will
include visits to food factories and related
industries. We will study literature and films
which investigate the symbolic and metaphoric qualities of food.

Home. How do we collectively and individually share this responsibility? Is it in the
heart? How does it apply to individuals,
families, various cultures within a community, to peoples from different lands and
from different cultures and is home a place, a
time, a reflection or a remembrance? This
program is designed to answer these
questions and more in several study areas.
We will do this by examining U.S. history,
Northwest history and prehistory of the
indigenous peoples of the area, as well as
pertinent literatures, mythologies and poetry
(including multicultural works). In addition
to writing and research, we will consider
anthropology, archaeology, politics, law,
sociology and the arts.
The Northwest is the primary focus of this
study, but we will include other areas when
applicable.
The program will offer classes for students
interested in specific areas: writing and
poetry, applied arts, history and contemporary issues. We will also conduct workshops
designed to acquire library research skills,
listening skills and semina ring skills.
There will be at least one field trip,

This program will examine the ways in which
we see and describe the universe. Exciting
advances in multiple disciplines are causing
scientists to rethink mechanistic ways of
seeing the world around us, and causing us to
confront many of our cherished mythologies
about "the way things are."
A world view heretofore dominated by
order and predictability is being challenged
by emerging studies of "chaos" and chaotic
systems. Many ancient peoples believed that
the forces of chaos and order were part of an
uneasy tension in the world. Chaos was seen
as immensely powerful, and potentially
creative. Until recently, however, much of
modern science has proceeded as if its task
were to eliminate chaos from our lives: the
world was thought to be reducible to a set of
deterministic principles-a
giant Newtonian
clockwork which we could eventually
understand with sufficient determination and
patience. Current work in the study of
chaotic systems in biology, medicine and the
physical sciences suggests otherwise.
This program will examine the literature,
history and mythology of ancient and
modern world views. We will spend significant time reading and writing about the ways
we see our world. We will also undertake _
laboratory exploration of non-chaotic and
chaotic systems. We will study mathematics
including pre-calculus and calculus. We will
explore fractal geometry and the strikingly
beautiful images generated from fractal sets.
We will use Evergreen's well-equipped·
personal computer laboratories to learn a
variety of software applications in the study
of order and chaos.
This program will give students a substantial introduction to current work in the
mathematical and physical sciences, and to
the impact this work has on the way we view
the world.

This program will explore the constructs
created by the human mind and the processes
used to achieve these constructs. We will
examine the similarities and differences in the
perceptions of physical and spiritual "reality"
by Eastern and Western cultures. In our
explorations we will examine the products of
the mind such as expressive arts, psychology,
anthropology and other sciences, belief
systems, philosophy, religions and dreams. In
addition, we will examine the processes and
methods used to understand the mind such as
music, dance, poetry, meditation and
empirical science. We will consider the
nondiscursive modes (music, arts, poetry and
dance) of expressing and understanding the
psyche as well as inter-being communication.
For example, what is the relationship
between music and the emotions? We will
also examine the symbol-generating capability of the mind and the relationship between
symbols, allegories, metaphors and myths/
beliefs/religions. Throughout our discussions,
we will consider the views of major world
philosophies and religions.
We will focus extensively on writing skills
in this program. After prompt feedback,
papers will be rewritten. Provisions will be
made for enhancement of writing skills at all
levels including students with English as a
second language and those with learning
disabilities.
We will integrate mathematics to the
extent possible and to the level appropriate
for our studies. For example, statistics will be
needed to examine some of the experiments
in psychology and parapsychology. Chaos
theory will be included in our study of
approaches to understanding the mind. The
views of modern physics will be discussed in
relation to world philosophies.

How do we gain a sense of individual
identity? How do we define ourselves/get
defined? How do these ways change over
time? How do our races, genders, classes,
families, friends, communities, educations,
work experiences and interactions with
institutions create, constrain and change us?
What does it mean to be an American?
How does one become an American? How
has the meaning of American changed over
time? What will American mean in the
future?
These questions will inform our studies in
"Making American Selves," as we try to
make sense of this changing American world
and to understand ourselves within it.
In Fall Quarter we will focus on who we
are, reading about a diversity of contemporary American identities, while exploring and
writing about our own changing identities
and our family histories.
In Winter Quarter we will focus on where
we came from, reading about American
identities constructed in previous eras,
discovering how they differ from our own
and learning from older generations how
they generated American selves.
In Spring Quarter we will focus on where
we are going, reading about how American
selves will change in the near future, and
exploring what will be required of us in order
to live in an increasingly multicultural United
States.
This multicultural, gender-balanced,
interdisciplinary Core Program will explore
the construction of female and male selves in
a variety of cultures in the United States. We
will focus on fictional, autobiographical, and
biographical representations of American
selves, informing our reading by background
studies in the areas of psychology, sociology,
anthropology, history, education, gender and
cultural studies.

We will explore Africa's diverse cultures
through their art forms: their images, words
and rhythms. We'll look at aesthetic and
religious, societal and political traditions and
their role as a source of contemporary
cultures in the Americas. Through accounts
of explorers and colonizers, we will recognize
the preconceptions and misconceptions that
still color our view of African cultures. Ours
is no ordinary exploration: we will remain
still, attentive and open, training our eyes
and ears to hear African and Caribbean
artists speak, and to let the truths in their
images come to light.
In Fall Quarter we will begin with
traditional African societies and their ways of
relating to the world: oral tradition, ritual
and festival life, roles of music, dance and
plastic arts, matriarchal and patriarchal
cultures. We will look at how these traditions
changed through the coming of Islam,
Western exploration, colonization and the
slave trade, and how-they were transmitted
and took root in the New World.
In Winter Quarter we will shift our focus
to the African diaspora in the Caribbean
area, and its evolving, syncretistic cultures
which, like Haitian voodoo, survive and
flourish through mixing, camouflage and
transmutation. We will study the role of art
as revolutionary weapon, culture-builder and
consciousness-changer through such artists as
Cesaire, Conde, Lam, Soyinka and Sembene,
and look at contemporary concerns with
neocolonialism, environmentalism and the
role of women.
Program activities will include seminars
and lectures, a film series, two weeks of
workshop-based skill development, African
music and dance, and writing workshops.

Borders are lines on a map. They define and
differentiate nations from one another but
they cannot separate peoples; indeed, they
often serve as a corridor of cultural exchange. This paradox is central to understanding the dilemma of values and identity
which challenges the individuals who live and
work on an international or interregional
borderline. Their situation is composed of
diverse ingredients in history, politics,
geography and languages.
Yet, while a boundary line emerges from
these factors, the idea of the border eventually becomes a line drawn in the mind. The
social reality of the border is a demarcation
which has dissolved into a blur, the blend of
distinct cultural roots tempered by common
public concerns.
We will examine old assumptions, test new
ideas and explore the cultural, political and
linguistic borders of countries, provinces and
"nations within nations" from a variety of
interdisciplinary perspectives. We will raise
such questions as: How are borders invented

and what causes them to change? What
function do they serve? What realities do
they mask? Have they become anachronistic
and illusory? What happens to the personal
sense of identity of a man or woman native
to the border zone of the nations?
Our major case studies will be Quebec!
Canada, CanadafUSA, and MexicofUSA.
Students will develop a working definition of
a particular cultural or political border area
and write an individual research project or
engage in collaborative research. Projects will
be presented orally. Students can expect to
acquire library investigation skills, techniques
in interviewing and public speaking,
improvement in writing capabilities, and a
solid understanding of how historians,
geographers, sociolinguists and political
economists view borders.
Seminars will deal with bilingualism,
population studies, legend and tradition,
novels, biography, politics, gender and social
class, race and ethnicity, and Native
American mythology. Our overarching
metaphor will illustrate how the idea of "the
border" illuminates margins and boundaries
unspoken in society-language,
gender and
race.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed in geography, history,
language and culture, literature, library
research, ethnic studies and gender studies.

The philosophy of Environmental Studies is
that the interaction of human societies and
natural systems must be managed in a
manner that insures the prosperous survival
of both. It is our primary goal to help people
develop the knowledge, skills and experiences
to express that philosophy in many different
roles in society.
Specifically, the goals of Environmental
Studies are:
To understand the nature, development and
interactions of terrestrial and marine
ecosystems, and human societies;
To learn the richness and the limits of the
environmental and social resources available
to sustain both human environments and
natural systems;

Career Pathways in Environmental

Studies

Major curricular pathways in Environmental
Studies include (1) Field Biology and Natural
History, (2) Marine Studies, (3) Ecological
Agriculture and (4) Environmental Assessment and Design. Additional strengths of the
Environmental Studies faculty include
ecological physiology, environmental
chemistry, environmental history and
philosophy, environmental policy, geology,
physical geography and planning. The faculty
are experienced in, and committed to,
providing students with practical experience
through fieldwork and projects that serve the
people and organizations of southwest
Washington and the Pacific Northwest.
Environmental Studies has close working
relationships with two other Specialty Areas.

Political Economy and Social Change
To study the cultural values and philosophies
that shape environmental behaviors, and

Through applied work, to develop the skills
necessary to handle our resources wisely.
Environmental Studies requires students and
faculty who are willing to study material
from many disciplines drawn from the
natural and social sciences, from the arts and
from the humanities. Furthermore, it requires
students and faculty who are willing to break
down the boundaries between the disciplines
in order to realize the integration necessary
to achieve the goals stated above.

provides a strong social science component,
particularly in environmental politics,
economics and the social impacts of technology. Science, Technology and Health
provides additional work in the physical
sciences, including chemistry and energy
studies, and in the biological sciences,
emphasizing molecular and organismal
biology. Most faculty in Environmental
Studies are also affiliated with Evergreen's
Graduate Program in Environmental Studies
(MES). Advanced undergraduates may be
able to enroll in a graduate course with the
permission of the instructor if it is appropriate to their curriculum and they have the
necessary prerequisites.

The study of agriculture is a study of human
interaction with the natural environment.
Therefore, "Ecological Agriculture" will
provide students with a useful introduction
to Environmental Studies. The program will
examine the progression of agriculture from
its tribal and peasant origins to present-day
industrialized food systems. Spring term will
give special emphasis to agriculture and
Third World development. At all levels, the
larger social, political and economic contexts
will be considered. Students will develop
skills in critical reading and expository
writing. There will be substantial work in a
range of natural and social sciences (ecology,
chemistry, botany, entomology, soils,
planning and community development).
Students may elect "Farm Practicum" as
an option within the program. Under the
direction of the farm manager, students will
help maintain the demonstration and market
gardens of Evergreen's Organic Farm. They
will be given the opportunity to learn plant
propagation, intensive organic production of
fruits and vegetables, marketing and general
farm maintenance. Practicum will also
include field trips to a variety of farming
operations in the Pacific Northwest.
Students who have not completed work in
college level chemistry will be given the
option of enrolling in Chemistry I and II
concurrently with the program.

This course will examine the recent historical
relationship that has developed between
natural environments and human systems
that have been imposed upon it. Our
particular concern will be with the sustainability of both in view of population growth
and resources. We will begin with an
exploration of physical geography and
climate, the basis of all natural systems. Next
we will examine the nature of political
territorialization that has resulted in the
present global division of have and have-not
nations, the industrial West and the Third
World. We will take a close look at the
impact and ideology of growth in the
industrial West in general, but also as it is
now being scrutinized in Washington state in
terms of its effects on this region's environment. Students will have an opportunity to
work with and hear from local organizations

Abundant water makes this planet unique.
The distribution of water is a crucial issue for
the growth and development of societies.
This program will carry out an in-depth
study of the hydrologic cycle and its
modification and meaning to human
societies. We will investigate the natural
movement of water through the environment.
This will allow us to discuss how these
pathways are modified by human needs and
structures. We will explore history of the
competing and often incompatible demands
made on river systems in the American West.
We will also attend to the economic, cultural
and personal meanings of water. In addition
to classroom work, the program will have a
strong commitment to field studies of local
and regional significance. The program will
involve travel away from campus.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed among hydrology, political
economy of natural resources, water resource
issues and writing.
Total: 16 credits

Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in environmental policy, natural
resource management, hydrology, law,

education.

Making a Difference: Doing Social
Change
During the first years of college, we learn
about societal and environmental problems.
Population growth, our homeless, misuses of
our natural resources and our environment,
questionable business ethics and child abuse
are some examples.
Useful methods exist now for being an
effective agent for change. Increasing
students' skills and knowledge about the
ethics, goals and practices of doing change is
the purpose of this program. "Making A
Difference" will combine field experience
with seminar learning. Students are encouraged to negotiate, in advance, internships
where they will specifically conduct or
observe field change projects. Students who
do not have or want internships are welcome
in the program, provided that they design
and carry out their own change projects.
For a complete description, turn to page 67
in the Management and the Public Interest
Specialty Area.

The Human Condition: Reading and
Writing the Book of Nature
This program is about the literary character
and philosophical presuppositions of
scientific work. We will study the writing and
interpretative practices of scientists, as well
as the literary and aesthetic character of
scientific work.
Within the context of scientific pedagogy
(how science gets taught), we will examine
the social and intellectual consequences of a
language that is now increasingly seen as
both specialized and exclusionary. An
underlying assumption is that a critical
understanding of how knowledge itself is
socially constructed within language can
. inform and motivate social action-including
projects chosen and pursued by scientists. For
a complete description, turn to page 75 in the

Center for the Study of Science and Human
Values Specialty Area.

The Organic Farm.
The Organic Farm, started by students
during the college's first year, is an inspiration for involvement in agriculture. Each year
new projects are undertaken to explore a
range of options in sustainable agriculture.
The widest possible array of crops adapted to
the Northwest are grown to demonstrate
which vegetables, fruits, berries and nuts do
well in the region-without the use of
pesticides, herbicides or commercial fertilizers. Information on organic agriculture is
available to callers and visitors to the farm.
For more information, contact Faculty
Member Pat Labine, The Evergreen State
College. Also see the Campus Life section
starting on page 98.

The Seawulff and The Resolute
Commisioned in 1978, the Seawulff is a 38foot sailboat, a portable piece of campus that
serves as a floating classroom for marine
studies and reaserch projects. Built by
students, faculty and community volunteers
over a six-year period, the vessel is now used
in academic programs to explore Puget
Sound as far north as the San Juan Islands.
The Seawulff has recently been joined by The
Resolute, a 44-foot sailing vessel formerly
used at Annapolis, Maryland. The Resolute
was restored at Evergreen.

The Expressive Arts Specialty Area is
primarily concerned with helping students
gain skills and experience in the arts. In many
programs students have the opportunity to
do work in more than one art form simultaneously, and collaboration and crossdisciplinary approaches to learning are
stressed throughout the specialty area.
Program themes are dra,wn from issues of
current and historic interest to the faculty
and vary widely from year to year. This
insures that the faculty and the curriculum
remains vital and relevant. Students should
be aware that traditional sequential skills
training is not available in most of the arts.
The Expressive Arts faculty are committed
to the importance of creative work as a
central element in liberal arts education. The
skills acquired in Expressive Arts programs
will contribute to the work students undertake in future academic programs. However,
it is important for students primarily
interested in the Expressive Arts to have a
broad range of other academic experiences.
Students should not expect to do all of their
undergraduate work within the Expressive
Arts. They ar~ encouraged to move into and
out of the area, taking advantage of study
opportunities in other specialty areas. While
in the Expressive Arts, students are encouraged to work in more than one of the arts
areas and to consider undertaking multimedia, collaborative projects with other
students. The faculty believe that a wide
range of experience in the arts and other
disciplines is necessary to broadly develop the
students' creativity and perspective .

Expressive Arts offerings include work in
dance, theater, film/video, photography,
visual arts, music, and creative writing. In all
of these, we are working to create a learning
environment which supports a strong
multicultural perspective.
Each year the offerings in Expressive Arts
include:
A sophomore level coordinated study
program which serves as an introduction and
theoretical foundation for work in the arts;
Junior/senior level work-based programs
where students apply and refine arts skills;
Individual contracts, internships and senior
theses opportunities where advanced students
with a minimum of three quarters of prior
experience in the Expressive Arts can do
work which is developed in relation to their
own particular needs and abilities;
Skill development modules designed to
supplement work in programs and group
contracts, and
Internship possibilities for pre-professional
work experience.

performing arts: music, theater, dance.
Through readings, seminars, lectures on the
history and selected works of art, critiques of
these works, response papers and hands-on
workshops, the student will be given a broad
and specific introduction to the performing
arts.
Lectures will show the historical development of the performing arts as they grew in
various areas and countries of the world.
Comparisons and connections will demonstrate the richness and pertinence of the arts
in the lives of people. Film/video, audio or
live performance presentations of the periods
studied will be used to develop critique skills
and aesthetic awareness of the performing
arts.

All of the media curricula in Expressive Arts
have a strong commitment to a critical
perspective on imagemaking, the interface of
theory and practice, skill development, and a
concerted effort to integrate multiple
perspectives on gender, race, class and sexual
diversity. Specific attention to the politics and
poetics of nonfiction imagemaking as well as
to theoretical positions informed by feminist
scholarship and Third World filmmaking
praxis form the basis of film/video studies at
Evergreen. This program is the entry-level
media arts contract designed to provide
students with a basic yet comprehensive
background in technical, theoretical and
aesthetic aspects of nonfiction imagemaking
with emphasis on film, video and audio
production.
Students will spend Fall Quarter acquiring
specific technical skills, exploring the design
process as it applies to these media, executing
experiments in visual imagemaking, screening
and evaluating films and video tapes,
attending lectures and design seminars, and
preparing for the production of a complete
film or a videotape during Winter Quarter.
Students will be instructed in preproduction design, cinematography (including
camera operation and location lighting),
sound recording for film and video, editing,
sound recording and mixing, graphic design
for film and video, and post-production
techniques. Although technical skills will be
stressed, the overall emphasis will be on
experimentation and the development of a
critical and political viewpoint with regard to
one's own imagemaking.

•

People of color and white feminists all over
the world have questioned European notions
of history and their place within it. Seeking
to create identities beyond that of "the
other," feminist and Third World thinkers
and artists have begun the difficult task of
creating new forms of enunciation in
literature, images and theory. We are moving
beyond colonial expressions of ourselves to a
new politics of self-representation. As we
map this difficult terrain, we seek to explore
the connections between diverse groups,
building dialogues and coalitions and
developing strategies for change.
We propose to explore these themes in the
context of three time periods: the 1920s, the
post-WWII period and the contemporary
(post-I968) era. We will focus on three
things. We will pay close attention to voices
from the Third World and to texts and
images that are informed by senses of identity
and historical imagination quite different
from those of dominant North American

culture. Some possibilities for study include
the Harlem Renaissance, the rise of
Negritude and the Third Cinema movement
in contemporary Third World filmmaking.
We want to contrast the ways in which the
West has constructed its "others" in texts
and images. We will look at works drawn
from traditional anthropology and ethnographic film and the modernist period in art,
among others. We are also interested in the
development of critical perspectives. We will
look at a variety of these including: Marxist
cultural criticism, feminist theory and film,
the critique of racism and recent experimental ethnographies.
During Fall and Winter Quarters we will
be engaged in intensive study of these
materials. During this time we will be
grappling with a variety of critical approaches and methodologies, seeking to
construct philosophies and positions from
which to work effectively as makers and
critics of culture. During Spring Quarter
students will carry out an original in-depth
inquiry in one of a variety of media,
including film, video, photography and
creative or analytical writing.

Additional Course Allowed: Yes
Do you like Basie? Black Sabbath? Fela? Five
Blind Boys from Alabama? Le Mystere des
Voix Bulgaires? Wayang Kulit? All of the
above? Do you play guitar, harmonica,
bongos, MIDI devices, radio dials? Then
"Multicultural Music" is for you.
Typically, students in this program will be
very interested in music and beyond the
beginning level of skill development. They
probably will not be interested only in music.
A year in an Expressive Arts program
including music, six months or more of
private lessons and a year or more of
independent study might be typical preparation. Students should plan to take one or
more music skill modules and to study an
instrument privately for credit. In addition to
music modules, students may well want to
work in visual media modules such as video,
film and computer graphics.

Our goal will be to develop artistic skills
within a multicultural framework. For
example, we will study rhythm by using
African music as models, melody by studying
Irish folksongs, instrumentation and timbre
by studying Balinese and Japanese music, and
improvisation by studying jazz and Indian
classical music. We will compare and
contrast harmony and form in contemporary
popular music and in "classical" European
art music. We will also explore the social and
political implications of changing definitions
of what music is.
Specific activities are subject to the
availability of resources, staff and equipment.
Some possibilities: (1) quarterly concerts of
new work in the Experimental Theater; (2)
collaborative programming projects between
computer scientists and musicians, resulting
in a multicultural computer courseware
package to be distributed nationally entitled
World Beats; (3) a field trip to San Francisco
in January to pursue research at Berkeley and
the Center for Composition and Research in
Music and Acoustics at Stanford University
and cultural activities; (4) production and
distribution of a CD, LP or cassette of
students' works; and (5) attendance at a
national meeting of the International
Association for the Study of Popular Music
in Eugene, Oregon.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
4/12-ethnomusicology
4/12-modules (selected to meet individual
needs) or independent study
4/12-independent study, including private
music lessons and/or student-arranged

Internship Possibilities: No
Additional Course Allowed: Yes
This contract will examine cross-cultural and
historical concepts of taste and their
manifestations in popular arts of two
contrasting cultures.and times: a period from
Japanese history and one from the West. We
will read popular literary work, look at
examples of functional and decorative art,
including crafts, architecture, interior
designs, fashion, etc., and study popular
theater and music, We will examine the
relationships among various popular arts,
discuss the connections between "taste" and
"aesthetics," and between "taste" and
"socio-economic conditions." We will
explore how certain taste manifested in
popular culture shapes as well as reflects the
spirit of the time and place. We will see films,
plays and other performances whenever
possible as well as visit museums. Some
students may work in art studio for a part of
their credits and make objects that enhance
their understanding of our subjects. Others
can do library or field research in order to
extend and expand what we learn as a group.

The title of our program is taken from the
catalog for an exhibition of Inuit art which
documents the skill, ingenuity and resourcefulness of visual artists whose work reflects
both the traditions of the past and the
cultural necessities of the present.
This program is a two-quarter study of
pattern and symbol in various cultural and
religious contexts such as roadside shrines of
India, Islamic tiles, Northwest coast form
line, Hmong textiles and influences of these
cultural forms on contemporary art.
We will examine traditional attitudes,
practices and beliefs about the construction
and design of formal visual objects. Students
will be expected to identify a visual principle
or motif from each cultural context studied
and produce a body of work in a visual form
which documents their understanding and
response. In addition, students in small teams
will do research on the life history of a
particular work or visual element and present
their findings throughout the quarter.
Program activities will include seeing
seminars, film screenings, group critiques and
collaborative student presentations. Students
will be selected on the evidence of demonstrated skill in the visual arts after an
interview with the faculty.

Stylistic Theater: Archetypes in
Theater and the Arts
Fall, Winter/Coordinated Study
Coordinator: Ren-Hui (Rose) Jang
Enrollment: 48 Faculty: 2
Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing or
equivalent; faculty signature; audition in
spring, 1991
Special Expenses: Yes
Part-time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Additional Course Allowed: Yes
This program will introduce students to the
concept and power of archetypes in expressing universal emotions. Stylistic theater,
which explores the spiritual, archetypal
representation of the human world will be
introduced as one such expression. Our study
will be divided into theory and practicum.
Primary theory will be based on an
overview of Jungian archetypes as they might
apply to performance practice and creativity.
We will also look at theories and practices of
stylistic performance inherent in different
cultures. In Western tradition, we will study
some 20th century theater movements such
as expressionism, symbolism, surrealism,
ritual theater and theater of the absurd. We
will also analyze Laban movement, Chinese
theater, Japanese Butoh theater, story dance
and mask theater as different forms of
stylization which incorporate archetypes.
Faculty and students will pursue the study
of archetypes and creative human expressions
through workshops devoted to movement
and voice, seminars covering assigned texts,
and group meetings in which we will see
films and videos, hear guest speakers and
share lecture responsibility among students
and faculty.

Students are expected to come into the
work with one creative skill or perspective in
which they have already had training. Faculty
will hold auditions in the preceding Spring
Quarter. We welcome students experienced
in technical theater design and operation,
visual arts, performing arts, arts promotion!
production and poetry/playwriting/scripting.
Students with other creative skills or training
are also welcome and encouraged to
audition. Each student will use his or her skill
as the problem-solving support for individual
and collaborative projects or responses both
quarters, with more emphasis on "response"
in the fall.
During Winter Quarter, students will
combine "new" skills with the "old" to
produce a "stylistic" theater presentation. No
new students will be admitted in winter.
Workshops will focus on vocal and
physical skill development in stylistic
performance. Students who do not want to
perform have to participate in the voice and
movement workshop but do not have to
perform final presentations.
Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:

Fall
4-theoretical study of archetypes a~d

This group contract will provide opportunities and training to exercise and combine
concepts and principles of stylization from
Western and Eastern performin'g traditions.
Its main focus is on a major and collaborative production of stylized theater at the end
of the quarter, which will incorporate
theater, dance and music.
Students will spend some time studying the
theories of various stylized performances
through lecture and seminar. However, the
core of this contract is an intensive movement workshop which begins with the basic
training of stylized movements in Chinese
theater. Students will also observe, experience and practice the movements from
Chinese martial arts, dances in India and
Bali, Grotowski theater movements and
Martha Graham's modern dance. Through
workshop activities, students will learn how
to adapt their bodies to a series of totally
controlled, formalized, yet expressive forms
and shapes in correspondence with a definite
rhythmical pattern. They will learn how to
explore freedom through control and
discover flexibility in discipline. Soon
enough, they will find out the heart of
emotion, the flow of energy, and the truth of
expression in those exact, precise and
predetermined theatrical forms.

The final production will be an adaptation
of a Chinese story intended for a Western
audience. In this production, which emphasizes collaborative process, students and
faculty will try to incorporate all the stylized
principles and actual movements they have
learned and practiced into the conceptualization and enactment of a consistent style
throughout the performance. Since rhythm
and music are integral parts of any stylized
theater, we encourage the students who have
interest in composing original music for
theatrical productions to join this contract.
Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
8-stylized performance/production
4-critical analysis
4-group process: collaboration in performance
Total: 16 credits

Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in performing arts, theater arts, theater
production, comparative theater, comparative mythology and Jungian studies.

"Moving Image Theater" will focus on
creating and producing a public performance
in Week 9 of Spring Quarter and possible
touring performance in Week 8 and Week
10. The work will be self-contained.
Functioning as an ensemble, we will design
and implement all elements of our production/performance: lighting, sets, music/sound,
costumes, make-up, masks, publicity.
Students will work in one area of choice and
expertise. In order to facilitate the planning
and production, faculty will hold auditions in
Week 9 of Fall Quarter 1991. After
auditions and selections, the ensemble will
begin preparation for spring work.
During Winter Quarter, students and
faculty will meet once per week to plan the
Spring production. This will include reading
and discussing sources; deconstructing,
interpreting, adapting or creating performance text; designing first-draft lighting, sets,
costumes and publicity; determining possible
off-campus performance sites for touring and
learning techniques of "Image Theater
Performance. "
Sources will be presented after auditions.
Our Winter Quarter meetings will be
informal, non-credit generating and necessary
for all people involved in the Spring production. Students will earn their credit,
primarily, through the one area of artistic
work which is their chosen work for the
quarter. The general direction of the sources
will be comparative mythologies, depthpsychology and personal "anthropology."

Interested students, please note the importance of the Fall Quarter auditions/interviews.
Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
8-moving image theater: production/
performance
4-moving image theater texts: analysis,
composition, creation, production
Total: 12 credits

Since the time of the cave paintings at
Lascaux, images of animals have been a
mainstay of visual artists all over the world.
We will look at such images throughout
history and across cultures. What does the
art tell us about ourselves and our relationship to the creatures portrayed? How do
some images of animals serve as substitute
self-portraits or unique expressions of human
experience and fears? We will examine the
symbology behind the choice of various
animals as subject matter and how these vary
from culture to culture. In addition, students
will make their own art dealing with animals
and read books and stories in which animals
playa central role. Possible readings include
Mexican and Native American legends, John
Berger's essay on animals and selected short
stories.

A central power that drives our society is
rooted in cultural identification and difference. The resultant clash of intellectual
perspectives created by this multiculturalism
generates positive and negative tensions that
provide us with cultural insight and understanding. This program will study these
differences by examining the culture of Latin
America and its influence on mainstream
American culture.
Activities in the program will include
critical media analysis, fieldwork and
practice in the documentation of culture
through observation r.nd interviewing.
We will examine a wide range of expressive cultural forms: storytelling, family
history, food ways, music, minstrelsy, belief,
legend, myth, world views and the analysis of
popular culture artifacts. We will also
analyze key forms of mass media: popular
entertainment, television, print journalism,
propaganda and advertising. For a complete
description, turn to page 59 in the Humanities Specialty Area.

Does music speak to you? Can poetry sing?
What is the "line" between speech and
music?
This program will examine works by
Joyce, Berio, Roethke, Anderson, Stockhaussen, post-modernists, beat poets and
others to research commonalities of structure, rhythm, content and intention. We will
develop a semantic/syntactical vocabulary for
use in our research, focusing on concerns
shared by both art forms and investigate new
works which write words and music in ways
which reduce or eliminate the distinction
between them.

The Humanities Group is a policy and
curriculum planning group of faculty from
the fields of literature, history, philosophy,
anthropology, archeology, psychology and
art history. We are committed to these
subjects and concerned about the following
themes:
-The nature and value of written, visual and
oral texts
-Connections
between language, thought,
value and behavior
-Conceptions
of the nature of a person or
people
-The relationships between a person or
people and other men and women, private
and public institutions and the gods, and
-Attempts
to imagine and make new,
relationships and new societies.
These disciplines, themes and faculty often
are what make coordinated studies programs
interdisciplinary. Humanities faculty have
been exceptionally active in Core Programs.
We do some work on one or more of these
themes in each of the programs in which we
teach. In addition, we work to:
-Emphasize
great texts and/or artifacts and
their connections to our themes
-Require wide reading and the sister skills
of critical, independent and original thinking
-Encourage
discussion in seminar groups
-Help each student improve his or her
writing, and
-Do work at a level as advanced as the
knowledge and skill of the majority of
students allows.

The program will explore the power and
limitations of reason by means of interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives and in
various social and historical contexts. The
ideals of universal and objective reason,
embodied in the birth of modern science and
in the Age of Revolution, will be contrasted
with those dimensions of human beings
which were usually marginalized or repressed
by the dominance of those ideals: arts,
imagination, dreams, myth, intuition,
comedy, the wisdom of the body, spiritual
life and small-scale communal life. We will
draw upon the experience and literature of
several cultures that have suffered from the
dominance of science and its ideals, notably
women in various societies, Native Americans, African Americans and the Irish.
We will study the phenomenon of
rootlessness and will move toward a more
rooted and holistic conception of human
being. To assist us in that task, we will study
the works of such authors as C.G. Jung,
Gregory Bateson, Catherine Harding, Martin
Heidegger, N. Scott Momaday and several
writers of fiction. The working hypothesis of
the program is that liberating vision emerges
not through universal or abstract reason but
from the interaction of diverse cultural and
disciplinary perspectives.
Students will be asked to formulate their
own judgments about the contribution of
reason to the forming of views, public
discourse and decision-making. A good deal
of room will be left for individual projects
and, hence, the credit equivalencies will vary
greatly.

A human community is a place where people
feel they belong and where they create social
relationships with one another. This group
contract will study such communities,
drawing examples from different cultures and
periods in history. We will distinguish
between various kinds of communities and
make selections to reflect cultural diversity: a
hunting and gathering band in South Africa;
an isolated Polynesian island in the South
Pacific; three peasant villages, including one
situated on the Nile River in Sudan, another
located in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, and a
third 70 miles from metropolitan Tokyo. We
will also look at larger communities,
including the ancient city of Rome during the
reign of Augustus and the city-state of
Tenochtitlan at the time of the Spanish
Conquest. Cities in more recent history will
be an additional subject of study: industrial
Manchester in the mid-1800's; Italian
Harlem around the turn of the 19th century;
the colonial city of Lagos, Nigeria; and
Hollywood, California in the Golden Era of
the 1930s and 40s. We will read books
chosen from anthropology, social history and
literature and we will respond to these
readings by writing short essays each week.
The instructional modes in this group
contract will include book seminars, writing
workshops, videos, slide presentations and
informal responses made by the instructor to
the reading and writing assignments.

This is a program of exploration and
discovery that probes the dim past of the
human species, the formation of the continents and the earliest societies.
Our search will begin with the study of the
earliest humans and end with the collapse of
the Han Dynasty in China about 220 AD. In
aid of our search we will read texts of bone,
ash, stone, ivory, paint and ancient texts.
Although we will use secondary texts for
investigation of these societies, this work will
involve a great deal of research, careful
interpretation of evidence and speculative
reasoning.
Our search will utilize the academic tools
of history, archaeology, anthropology, art
history, psychology, literature, mythology,
folklore, religion and cosmology.
Some of the major texts we will use: Erich
Neumann's The Great Mother, Colin
Renfrew's Before Civilization and Archaeology and Language, Joseph Campbell's
Primitive Mythology, Donald Johanson and
James Shreeve's Lucy's Child: The Discovery
of a Human Ancestor, William Irwin

This program explores European and
American social and cultural life, 1800-1900,
through fiction, poems and plays. The
program has two interrelated aims: to learn
about history through great literature and to
read literature in its original historical
context. To do this work we will pursue
questions like the following: What is
literature? What is history? What is interpretation? What uses do authors make of their
own lives and times? How does literature
treat racial experience, class difference and
gender identity?
Fall Quarter focuses on Charles Dickens'
England, Winter Quarter on Herman
Melville's United States, and Spring Quarter
on Feodor Dostoevsky's Russia. Among the
works we will read are: Jane Austen, Pride
and Prejudice; William Wordsworth, "Ode:
Intimations of Immortality;" Mary Shelley,
Frankenstein; Dickens, David Copperfield;
Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self-Reliance;"
Melville, Moby-Dick; Margaret Fuller,
Women in the Nineteenth Century; Nikolai
Gogol, Dead Souls; Dostoevsky, Crime and
Punishment; Leo Tolstoi, Anna Karenina. In
addition, we will read English, U.S. and
Russian social history.
The format of the program will consist of
weekly seminars, lectures and films. Each
quarter there will be one examination and
two papers on the required reading.

A central power that drives our society is

perspectives created by this multiculturalism
generates positive and negative tensions that
provide us with cultural insight and understanding. This program will study these
differences by examining the cultures of Latin
America and their influence on mainstream
American culture. We will look at stories,
music and myth and study how they have
contributed to our national ethos. We will
examine our cultural icons and how they are
presented to us in the mainstream press. We
will pay attention to the way in which the
production of images about European
American culture serves class interests and
promotes divisions based on race, gender and
other cultural differences.
We will examine the mainstream media,
identify and analyze the sacred stories around
which our national icons are constructed and
unmask the techniques of covert stereotyping
that contribute to, and reinforce, attitudes
about class and race. Critical media analysis
is central to our work and we will pay
particular attention to the visual image
expressed in film, on video and in advertising. Students will explore their own family
history and cultural identities as Americans,
and as members of particular groups.
Activities will include critical media
analysis, fieldwork and practice in
documentating culture through observation
and interviewing. We will examine a wide
range of expressive cultural forms:
storytelling, family history, foods, music,
minstrelsy, belief, legend, myth, world views
and the analysis of popular culture artifacts.
We will also analyze popular entertainment,
television, print journalism, propaganda and
advertising.

Three faculty members (Don Finkel, Burt
Guttman and Kirk Thompson), all with an
interest in the process of education and each
with a distinct interest in one of the three
terms in the main title, will lead an inquiry
into the meaning and making of meaning,
learning and power to see how these might
inform our aims and means in education.
This will not be a career-oriented program.
It will be, instead, a challenging, broad-based
and philosophic set of studies which should
stimulate us to understand our own education, as well as the tension between the aims
of public education and its cultural context.
The program will also have an experiential
component. We are considering investigating
the learning involved in the mastery of
various "non-academic" skills such as
cooking, a martial art or an athletic skill. We
may require ourselves each to undertake the
learning of such a skill. We also imagine
including a student-run experimental
laboratory for inventing and trying out
various educational modes.
Nevertheless, the main thrust will be
intellectual and academic with lots of reading
and writing. We will delve deeply into
political philosophy, epistemology, linguistics, psychology and cognitive science. We
also anticipate looking at the nature of
metaphor, the "unlearning" involved in
meditation, the "educational" components of
religious and social rituals, and, in general,
broadening our notion of how meaning,
learning and power pertain to education.
We welcome all students with at least a
year of college, with well-developed academic
skills, and with a desire to work hard with
others and have fun doing so. We envisage
this program as ideal for seniors wishing to
conclude their education with a broad-based
inquiry into a set of topics with surprising
implications.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed in political philosophy,
epistemology, psychology, cognitive science,

What is distinctive about life in the northwestern United States? The range of cultures
and natural environments here make many
Northwests. Yet the region as a whole has a
shared history and sense of identity. This
program will explore the character of
experience in the Northwest, the traditions
and aspirations of men and women who have
lived here and what we can learn from them
about the American experience.
Two central themes for inquiry will be the
making of community and the environment.
How, we will ask, have different groups
created and sustained the means for a
rewarding life? We will begin by studying
Native American cultures and their relation
to the land. We will look at subsequent
settlement, covering the I\omesteading
mentality, the control of resources by outside
corporations, attitudes toward wilderness
and the interplay of class, ethnicity, occupation and place. We will examine efforts to
express a regional sensibility through
imaginative literature. We will also analyze
changing'me~ia images of the Northwest,
including its current incarnations as ecotopia
and a haven for white supremacists.
This program emphasizes research and
writing skills. Students will research topics
and communities of their choice. Faculty will
provide training in the craft of writing, oral
history interviewing and ethnographic
fieldwork. Readings will include a range of
books about the region.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed in humanities and social
sciences, depending on the student's project.
Total: 48 credits

Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in social sciences and humanities.

This two-quarter group contract will cover
the British poets, essayists and novelists
standard to any upper-division 1832-1890
survey course. However, we will also trace
some of the social, political, aesthetic and
technological issues facing us in the 1990's
(i.e., how to break through the apathy of the
middle classes, the moral implications of
"realism" in art, the escalation of the media
into our everyday lives, the transformation of
political issues into "controversial" ones).
Students will be asked to indulge both
their literary and speculative frames of mind.
Good reading skills will be required, as well
as a willingness to participate in team
research projects. One day per month will be
spent at the University of Washington
Library.

We'll interpret poems in two senses of the
word. First, interpreting means talking and
writing about all the ways in which language
carries meaning as a voice on the page talks
along. Second, in the sense in which a
musician speaks of interpreting a score, it
means reading poems aloud, alone and
together. This is scarier for lots of people, but
we'll try to play around and have a good
time together learning to do it better.
Students with a little French, Spanish or
German will have some opportunities for
using it, since we will be reading poets like
Rilke, Rimbaud, Senghor and Neruda as well
as English and American writers from Yeats
to Rich. Work will include attention to poets'
lives, the interactions between poetry and
politics and the encounters across cultural
traditions which have multiplied in the last
hundred years.

From Virgil and Dante to Joyce and Rich,
one of the characteristic activities of Western
writers has been the interrogation and revision of their received traditions. We will
study several cases in which sequences of
major works imitate, critique and transform
preceding visions, probably centering on a
series of epics from Homer to Lessing's The
Golden Notebook, Blake's reworking of the
Bible, the sequence of African American
literature and political activity behind
Ellison's Invisible Man, and a variety of
paired short works.

This is a group contract in the exciting,
shifting world of contemporary American
culture; the intention is to gain "cultural
literacy" in our present. We will explore:
poor America, urban America, Native
American America, female and male
America, white America, vanishing and
emerging America, rich America, black
America and a new America. Through these
books we will explore the perennial American experiences, the old and new American
dilemmas and the present state of the everbuilding American consciousness. The class
will be a discovery of concepts, assumptions,
symbols, ideas, themes and serendipity.
The goals of the program are: to be open
to learning, to read huge numbers of books
(requiring at least 40 hours per week), to
agree to a written and signed covenant, to
speak in every seminar, to participate in class
readings, to experience what is learned, to
become aware and attentive.
Activities will include: (a) a student-only
seminar (4-5 students) to start each week, (b)
seminar (24 students, 1 faculty), (c) faculty
lecture, (d) workshops, readings of dramas,
movies, student writing/study/reading groups
as desired, (e) final paper/exams each quarter
and (f) individual student "readings" projects
and presentations.
Readings include: Beloved; Herzog; Fool's

We will read, in their entirety, Spenser's The
Fairie Queene, Shakespeare's Venus and
Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, Milton's
Paradise Lost and Samson Agonistes, along
with one or two histories of the period.
Students will present one oral "insight
paper" per week and one long paper
summarizing independent study of other
poetry of Spenser, Shakespeare or Milton, or
the poetry of a contemporary such as Sydney,
Donne, Jonson, Herrick, Herbert or Marvell.

The Human Condition: Reading and
Writing the Book of Nature
This program is about the literary character
and philosophical presuppositions of
scientific work. We will study the writing and
interpretative practices of scientists, as well
as the literary and aesthetic character of
scientific work.
Within the context of scientific pedagogy
(how science gets taught), we will examine
the social and intellectual consequences of a
language that is now increasingly seen as
both specialized and exclusionary. An
underlying assumption is that a critical
understanding of how knowledge itself is
socially constructed within language can
inform and motivate social action-including
projects chosen and pursued by scientists. For

This program is a one-quarter study of the
mystique and reality of hometowns through
creative writing, visual art and literature. We
are interested in working with students who
are skilled in either writing or art, who wish
to learn to use both forms to understand
more about their own hometowns and lives,
and/or to invent imaginary hometowns. For a
complete description, turn to page 55 in the
Expressive Arts Specialty Area.

Writers' Workshop
The primary emphasis of this course will be
writing, critiquing and more writing.
Students will share their work in round-robin
fashion during scheduled workshops,
rewriting and revising manuscripts per
criticism received in the workshop and from
the instructor. We will explore hallmark
works of contemporary fiction and poetry, as
well as essays by writers on writing. Becoming familiar with the formal properties of
fiction and poetry will be stressed throughout
workshop, seminar and lecture activities.
Each student will be responsible for one
tutorial presentation of an author of his/her
choice. For a complete description, turn to

Language and Culture Center
Convener: Susan Fiksdal
The Language and Culture Center plans and
coordinates year-long programs and courses
in the area of foreign languages and international studies on a two- to three-year cycle. It
also serves as a source of information and
academic advice for students who have an
interest in foreign languages and area studies.
The Center's convener, Dr. Susan Fiksdal, is
a full-time Evergreen faculty member who
specializes in Linguistics, E.S.L. Methodology, and French Culture. Associate Dean Jose
Gomez also serves as a source of information
and academic advice for students who have
an interest in studying abroad.
The Center coordinates study abroad
programs and counsels students on studies at
foreign and local universities with expanded
area offerings. The center may also sponsor
individual contracts involving language and
culture studies in foreign countries.
In the 1991-92 academic year, three yearlong language and culture programs are
being offered under the auspices of the
Center: "Japanese Language and Culture,"
"Spanish Forms in Life and Art," and
"Border Studies: Canada, Mexico, U.S.A."

For students interested only in language
studies, Evergreen offers a series of part-time
courses. Most of these courses are offered
during evening hours. Language components
of area programs may also be taken as
separate courses, but they are mostly
conducted during the day. Students interested
in careers in business, journalism, education,
anthropology and human services may want
to consider such language study. In the 199192 academic year, courses in first-year college
French, German, Spanish and Japanese will
be offered as well as second-year French.
The following list includes the academic
programs in this area planned through 1993:
1991-1992
"Japanese Language and Culture," FWS
"Spanish Forms in Life and Art," FWS
"Border Studies: Canada, Mexico, U.S.A.,"

The Jackson School of International
Studies: A Partnership Program with
the University of Washington
Evergreen students of junior-and senior
standing who have met the necessary
prerequisites may be eligible to spend up to a
full year studying language, area studies,
economics or international trade and affairs
as special students in the University of
Washington's Jackson School of International Studies. The School of International
Studies has been a pioneer in offering
programs in non-Western languages and
cultural studies. It offers interdisciplinary
curricula emphasizing both regional and
topical studies. Students may concentrate
their study on a major world area within the
context of humanities and the social sciences,
they may specialize in topical studies, or they
may pursue a more general course of study
within the program. Major areas normally
available through this program include:
Chinese studies, Japanese studies, Korean
studies, Middle Eastern studies, Russian and
East European studies, South Asian studies
and comparative religion.
Application to participate in a year at the
University of Washington should be made
through Dean Jose Gomez. Application must
be made before April 1 of the year preceding
admission to the University of Washington.
Student Exchanges

with Japanese

Evergreen has reciprocity agreements with
two Japanese universities, Miyazaki and
Kobe, for exchanging two students with each
institution, tuition-free, for one calendar
year, beginning in Mayor October.
Interested and qualified students may
obtain further particulars from the director
of the Language and Culture Center. The
students who plan to apply for this exchange
program must have a sufficient proficiency in
Japanese as most of the teaching at both
universities is in lecture format in Japanese.
Applications should be submitted in the form
of a letter of intent accompanied by portfolios to Dean Jose Gomez no later than

Japan has become a highly industrialized
nation while maintaining a strong attachment
to her cultural tradition. What were the
elements of Japan's cultural tradition and
how did they respond to forces of change?
How and with what consequences did the
new and sometimes disparate elements
contribute to conflict and contradiction? An
inquiry into these questions will go far
toward the delineation of Japanese society
and culture.
In Fall Quarter we will explore the
significant areas of conflict and contradiction
found in modern Japan from various
perspectives, drawing on materials ranging
from literature to mass media, from sociology to government and politics.
Winter' Quarter will be devoted largely to
the historical and cultural context of Japan in
order to establish the salient features that
constitute her cultural tradition and to probe
the reasons and processes leading to the
conflicts and contradictions.
In Spring Quarter we will turn to the
contemporary scene and examine Japan in its
microcosmic form of the daily life and
lifestyle of the individual. The approach will
be largely ethnological and social, and
involve areas pertaining to clothing, food,
dwelling and cadences of life marked, for
example, by ritual and festivals. If circumstances permit, this phase of the program will
be conducted in Japan.
Language will be taught throughout the
year on a daily basis. Emphasis will be on
developing skill in oral expression. The oralaural approach will be used.

The SOOth anniversary of Columbus' voyage
from Spain to America occurs in 1992. The
"Spanish Forms" program for the year 199192 will emphasize relations between Spain
and America and will include a trip to Spain
in the spring. During Fall and Winter
Quarters, students will be involved in
intensive Spanish language classes on campus
as well as a history/culture seminar conducted in English. In Spring Quarter all
program work will be done in Spanish.
We will begin the seminar by reading
selections from Columbus' journals and will
then study varying perspectives on the
Spanish conquest of indigenous peoples in
the Americas. From the vantage point of the
Conquest, we will return to a study of
Spanish medieval history and literature in an
attempt.to understand the actions of the
Spaniards who went to America.

In Fall Quarter we will concentrate on the
rich cultural interactions among Christians,
Moslems and Jews in medieval Spain and the
militant Christian ethic which grew out of
the "Reconquest" and promoted the
Inquisition as well as the conquest of
America. Student groups will research such
topics as Islamic contributions to Spanish life
and the comparative roles of women in
Islamic, Christian and Aztec groups.
In Winter Quarter we will read Cervantes'
masterpiece, Don Quixote de la Mancha.
Students will develop skills in literary
analysis and an understanding of this novel's
statement about Spanish Christian heroism.
Mid-quarter, we'll take a two-week break
from the travels of Don Quixote and students
may choose to read one of three women
writers: Saint Teresa of Avila, Maria de
Zayas or Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. There
may be further opportunities to study Latin
American topics.
In Spring Quarter the program will
sponsor a trip to Southern Spain. Exact
details of this foreign study experience
remain to be decided. In events surrounding
the quincentennial of Columbus and by
visiting the World's Fair in Sevilla, students
will be able to explore various questions
related to Spain's present-day view of
America and its own colonial-imperialist
past. Depending on program staffing, there
may be a possibility of study in Latin
American.

This group contract addresses the question of
how decisions are made in complex organizations: legislatures, corporations, governments
and associations. Decision making in these
contexts requires clear thinking to analyze
problems, the creativity to identify multiple
courses of action and the courage to advocate
and follow through on a decision. Members
of this group contract will devote a year to
expanding their analytic abilities to solve
problems.
Using the tools of the social sciences,
students will explore theories and models of
decision making as well as quantitative and
qualitative methods of understanding the
sources and use of power within complex
organizations. The results of those investigations will turn to the analysis of the way in
which business and government reach
decisions about issues current at the time the
contract is underway. Students will produce
individual or group research products
applying their analytic skills to significant
problems in the public or private sectors.
Students will enhance their interest in
government through intensive exposure to
the legislative process during the 1992
session of the Washington State Legislature.
Similar interests in management and business
administration will be supplemented through
corporate biographies of Boeing,
Weyerhaeuser and Microsoft.
Specific work will be done in organizational diagnosis, creative problem solving,
social statistics, forecasting, strategic
planning and the legislative process.

During the first years of college, we learn
about societal and environmental problems.
Population growth, our homeless, misuses of
our natural resources and our environment,
questionable business ethics and child abuse
are some examples. Many of us will choose
to devote our futures to solving these kinds
of problems or we will want to learn how to
make changes in the places where we work
and live.
The good news is that useful methods exist
now for making a difference: for being an
effective agent for change. Increasing skills
and knowledge about the ethics, goals and
practices of doing change is the purpose of
this program. It is designed for seniors with
backgrounds in environmental studies,
helping professions, labor/management,
education 'and the social sciences.
We will combine field experience with
seminar learning. In the fall we will learn the
techniques of doing change and preparing for
field studies. Students are encouraged to
negotiate in advance internships where they
will specifically conduct or observe field
change projects during Winter and Spring
Quarters. A special effort will be made to
develop a number of internships concerned
with the problems of growth in the Olympia
area. Students who do not have or want
internships are welcome in the program,
provided that they design and carry out their
own change projects.
Among the topics that will be covered are:
personal skills of change agents; social goals
and ethics of planned change; assessing the
capacities of organizations to change; change
theory and techniques; designs for field
experiments; participant observation, and
measurement and evaluation of change.

The major goal of "Native American
Studies" is to provide an open educational
opportunity for Native Americans and others
involved in education self-determination.
This interdisciplinary area is designed to
serve a variety of student groups: Native
American students who are interested in
enriching their unique cultural heritage and
developing strategies for self-determination in
our pluralistic society; and students interested
in learning about their own traditional
cultures and values including the dynamics of
change in a plural society.
Native American Studies includes oncampus programs and a community-based
program that currently meets at the Quinault
Nation in Taholah, Washington. In addition,
the area collaborates with other specialty
areas to design symposium components on
topics such as health, science, environmental
studies and art.
Career Pathways in Native American Studies
We tailor the educational experience of each
student to his or her particular needs. There
are, therefore, no prescribed "pathways" in
Native American Studies although there is a
general pattern which most students follow.
Work in Native American Studies begins
with an interview with one of the specialty
area faculty. In this interview, student and
faculty plan an individualized course of study
to insure that study in this area will satisfy
that student's personal needs.
Students in Native American Studies work
to develop (1) individual identity, (2) group
loyalty and (3) personal authority. Having
developed these strengths and the particular
skills they need, they return to their communities to have a positive impact on the world
around them.

In this program the student, community and
institution will share authority in developing
a valuable education within a constantly
changing society. Born of an oral tradition,
the school of thought offered for consideration through hospitality (the ability to
extend friendship), recognition and respect, is
a floor upon which people in good faith may
exchange mutually beneficial concepts.
The Native American Studies Program
continues to be an experiment within an
experiment. Indian governments exist as
nations within a nation. Indian governments
of the Northwest provide the basis for the
philosophy of education of this program.
Our hope is not to repeat the situation
described in the following account from
Touch the Earth by T.e. McLuhan:
"June 17, 1744. The commissioners from
Maryland and Virginia negotiated a treaty
with the Indians of the six nations at
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The Indians were
invited to send boys to William and Mary
College. The next day they declined as
follows: 'We know that you highly esteem
the kind of learning taught in those colleges,
and that the maintenance 'Ofour young men,
while with you, would be very expensive to
you. We are convinced that you mean to do
us good by your proposal; and we thank you
heartily. But you, who are wise must know
that different nations have different conceptions of things and you will therefore not
take it amiss if our ideas of this kind of
education happen not to be the same as
yours.'"
Four major questions frame the program's
education process: (1) What do I want to do?
(2) How do I want to do it? (3) What do I
plan to learn? (4) What difference will it
make?

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
24-individual project work

Community-determined
education will 'be the
result of a process related to examining what
does an educated Native American (one who
wants to function within the Native American community) and what an educated
member of the Quinault Nation, needs to
know, Based on these two factors the faculty
will develop curriculum which will address
the broadly conceived educational needs of
Native Americans and the narrowly conceived educational needs of a specific Indian
tribe/nation. Within the framework of this
will be the overall premise that an "educated
person" needs to have skills in research,
analysis and communication. It is important
to recognize that the absence of content
within the disciplines which specifically deal
with the tribal reality caused a great deal of.
frustration for educated Indian people as they
are not prepared to function within their
home community and are, in fact, educated
out of being functional Indian community
members.
The development of the curriculum will
utilize community involvement. The Quinault
People will work as a group to identify what
an educated Quinault should look like. A
primary function of this educational process
is that the people are able to be effective
within the native community or outside if
they so choose. When the decisions are made,
it will then be the responsibility of faculty to
develop curriculum which addresses the
topics identified.
Since this program is built upon selfdetermination, this philosophy will be
implemented into all aspects of the curriculum and administration of the program.

This program will examine important
traditional and contemporary cultural and
physical aspects of environmental design of
the Pacific Northwest. Our focus will be on
the past, the present and the future of our unique region and its people. We will learn
about the traditional Native American
cultural values: the dignity of the individual,
cultural hospitality and the fundamental
respect for elders, community and nature. We
will develop an understanding of individual
and collective responsibilities for the
environment and for those who come after
us.
We will examine four important human
relationships: (1) to the land, (2) to others,
(3) to work and (4) to the unknown. Central
to our study will be an examination of
cultural and environmental systems as they
are expressed in the design of human
communities and shelter.
This program will work in close, invitational partnership with faculty and students
in the concurrent 1991-92 Northwest Native
American Studies program, "Celebration:

October 12, 1992 is the Quincentennial of
Columbus' "discovery of America." Elaborate plans are being made to celebrate this
event. In this program we will focus on what
will be left out and trivialized in these
celebrations, the history of the people
"discovered" by European expansionism and
colonialism.
We will begin by exploring the nations and
people that were "discovered" by Europeans
in the Americas, Africa and Asia. In Fall
Quarter we will focus on how this discovery
and subsequent interaction shaped the Third
World and also the resistance it engendered
prior to the 20th century. In Winter Quarter
we will study colonialism and neo-colonialism and the resistance to it in the 20th
century. We will look at current struggles
against oppression with an emphasis on the
Third World and future possibilities.
Throughout the program we will examine
how class, gender and race relations shaped
and were shaped by colonialism. We will
'look at the history of people of nonEuropean background in the First World and
the impact of the Third World on the First
World. The dialectic of subjugation and
resistance will be an occurring theme.
Another will be how the culture of Third
World nations and people have been
influenced but not eradicated by this
interaction. We will integrate readings in
history and political economy with literature
and film. We will examine the perceptions of
this history as presented in the mass media
and high schools and try to develop alternative print and video materials that could be
used in the schools.

Political Economy and Social Change
integrates anthropology, economics, history,
law, political science, philosophy and
sociology as a way of understanding the
modern world and as a set of tools for
analyzing contemporary public problems. We
focus on problems related to class, race and
sex. We are interested in how such problems
interweave and overlap, how they evolved,
how they are understood, how and why
certain decisions are made about them, and
what difference all this makes for the quality
of human life.
All major problems are deeply grounded in
cultural, philosophical, social, economic and
political theories, history and practice. Their
understanding involves exploring basic
analytic concepts and values (freedom,
equality, justice and democracy) and their
meanings today. We look at societies as
dynamic and ever-changing systems, compare
them in different countries and cultures and
evaluate their impacts on the everyday lives
of all affected people.

The 1990s promise a decade of fundamental
and transformative political, economic and
social change. Old assumptions, alliances and
political-economic institutions will undergo
reformulation throughout the decade. Much
is at stake in this change.
We will focus on both current and
historical moments of political-economic
transformation, stressing their underlying
structural similarities and the significance of
their differences. We will investigate several
periods in the U.S., past, current developments in Europe and the Third World. We
will study power and contradictions in the
global economic system, theories and
ideologies of development, the role of the
state and the possibilities of democratic
outcomes.
We will raise questions about economic
structures and markets, exploring socialist,
capitalist and mixed systems in these
countries. We will explore the role played by
the developed nations and their transnational

developed nations. Our understanding of the
ways in which these societies develop will be
mediated through the interrelationships of
race, class, ethnicity and gender as they
operate in specific cultures and historical
periods. We will continuously ask the
question "Who wins and who loses?" Much
of the emphasis in Winter Quarter will be on
the implications and prospects for further
and future change.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed in political economy, history of
economic thought, anthropology, history and
international political economy.
Total: 32 credits

Program is preparatory for careers and future

October 12, 1992 is the Quincentennial of
Columbus' "discovery of America." Elaborate plans are being made to celebrate this
event. In this program we will focus on what
will be left out and trivialized in these
celebrations, the history of the people
"discovered" by European expansionism and
colonialism.
We will begin by exploring the nations and
people that were "discovered" by Europeans
in the Americas, Africa and Asia. In Fall
Quarter we will focus on how this discovery
and subsequent interaction shaped the Third
World and also the resistance it engendered
prior to the 20th century. In Winter Quarter
we will study colonialism and neo-colonialism and the resistance to it in the 20th
century. We will look at current struggles
against oppression with an emphasis on the
Third World and future possibilities.
Throughout the program we will examine
how class, gender and race relations shaped
and were shaped by colonialism. We will
look at the history of people of nonEuropean background in the First World and
the impact of the Third World on the First
World. The dialectic of subjugation and
resistance will be an occurring theme.
Another will be how the culture of Third
World nations and people have been
influenced but not eradicated by this
interaction. We will integrate readings in
history and political economy with literature
and film. We will examine the perceptions of
this history as presented in the mass media
and high schools and try to develop alternative print and video materials that could be
used in the schools.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
8-world history, 1492-1992

The process of development affects people
differently depending on their class, ethnicity
and 'gender; it must be seen as a process of
multiple pow~r interactions and outcomes.
expressed both through formal politicaleconomic institutions and policies, and
through cultural media and norms.
For example, the impact of global
capitalist institutions like the World Bank,
USAID and the IMF on people varies along a
number of dimensions. For instance, under
the Green Revolution, women's traditional
work has been eroded and they have been
pushed to the margins of the economy, thus
rendering them and their work invisible to
the state and its policies and often to
themselves. We will study such processes and
. the actions people take to counteract them,
with a focus on India. We will also consider
the development-state-gender
linkages in
Africa, Central and South America and
possibly Eastern Europe. There are significant differences between various economies,
states and cultures as well as production,
family, kinship and caste systems. We will
develop the specific historical contexts
necessary to understanding the process in
countries upon which we focus. In addition,
recent developments in feminist theory and
critical social science have raised new
perspectives on state and development theory
and we will investigate these attempts as they
apply to our subject matter.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will

The distribution of water is a crucial issue for
the growth and development of societies.
This program will carry out an in-depth
study of the hydrologic cycle, its modification
and meaning to human societies.
We will investigate the natural movement
of water through the environment. This will
allow us to discuss how these pathways are
modified by human needs and structures. We
will explore the history of competing and
often incompatible demands made on river
systems in the American West. We will also
attend to the economic, cultural and personal
meanings of water. The program will have a
strong commitment to field studies. For a
complete description, turn to page 47 in the
Environmental Studies Specialty Area.

This program will focus on the microeconomic theory of the firm and consumer
behavior. Further, we will apply microeconomic theory to explore issues of labor,
regulation of business, protection of the
environment, international trade and the
proper role of the government.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
6-intermediate microeconomics
6-applied microeconomics
4-research techniques and writing

Making a Difference: Doing Social
Change
During-the first years of college, we learn
about societal and environmental problems.
Population growth, our homeless, misuses of
our natural resources and our environment,
questionable business ethics and child abuse
are some examples.
Useful methods exist now for being an
effective agent for change. Increasing
students' skills and knowledge about the
ethics, goals and practices of doing change is
the purpose of this program. "Making A
Difference" will combine field experience
with seminar learning. Students are encouraged to negotiate, in advance, internships
where they will specifically conduct or
observe field change projects. Students who
do not have or want internships are welcome
in the program, provided that they design
and carry out their own change projects. For

The aim of the Center for the Study of
Science and Human Values is to provide a
bridge between science and the humanities. It
is based upon three assumptions:
-That the purpose of knowledge is to
improve the human condition by alleviating
suffering and providing ways to live in
harmony within our species land within the
natural environment;
-That the traditional questions asked by the
humanities are relevant.iand that, when
informed by current knowledge in natural,
physical and social sciences, the humanities
can help insure our survival as a species and
promote an optimal civilization; and,
-That citizenship in such an optimal future
(as well as responsible and successful
professionalism) requires a moral vocabulary,
drawn from the humanistic tradition, that
can generate reasoned responses to contemporary problems in the human condition.
The Center for the Study of Science and
Human Values educates students to be, both
professionally and politically, interpretive life
scientists and technologically informed
humanists.

The Human Condition: Reading and

Fall, Winter, Spring/Coordinated Study
Coordinator: Sara Rideout

Prerequisites: Core Program or equivalent
Special Expenses: No

Internship Possibilities: No
Additional Course Allowed: Possibly
This program is about the literary character
and philosophical presuppositions of
scientific work. Physical, biological and
social science are increasingly seen by their
historians and theorists as socially created
constructs rather than as unproblematic
"mirrors of nature" (to use the phrase of
philosopher Richard Rorty). The traditional,
"common-sense" assumption that scientific
language is a direct representation of the
world-one
which is somehow very different
from poetic or literary language -seems
rather naive today. We will study the writing
and interpretative practices of scientists, as
well as the literary and aesthetic character of
scientific work. We will bring the resources
of recent literary theory which draws on 20th
century developments in philosophy,
linguistics, feminist theory, psychology and
sociology to the study of scientific texts,
communities and practices.
We will ask: What are the implications for
the entire scientific enterprise if every
supposed decoding is actually just one more
encoding? Our work with language will lead
us to questions about how science is taught,
as well as where and how it is located in the
school and college curriculum and in the
larger society. We will examine the social and
intellectual consequences of a language that
is increasingly seen as specialized and
exclusionary.

An underlying assumption is that a critical
understanding of how knowledge itself is
socially constructed within language can
inform and motivate social action including
Projects chosen and pursued by scientists.
We will read texts in literary theory and
philosophy in conjunction with a study of the
historical development of the experimental
article in science with special emphasis on
rhetoric and discourse theory.
In Winter and Spring Quarters the
emphasis will switch to individual or
collaborative student research projects which
focus on interdisciplinary and critical inquiry.
Students will also participate in workshops
on advanced composition and rhetoric.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed among literary theory and
criticism; history and theory of science;
sociology of science; sociology of gender,
race and class; literature; philosophy;
European and American history; research
techniques; expository writing and rhetoric.

This area is a center for the study of the
physical sciences, mathematics, computing,
human services and health-related subjects
and laboratory biology. These subjects are
studied in several ways: for their own sake
(theories and experiments), for their
applications (e.g., in engineering, information
systems or healing), and for their place in
culture and society. Science, Technology and
Health explores this vast field within its own
programs, 'and in partnership with other
specialty areas.
The area has three main goals: to provide
high-quality introductory and advanced work
for undergraduates interested in careers or
future work in science, technology or health;
to investigate the relationship of science,
technology and health to social and individual human concerns; and to make learning
about science, technology and health
available to students who have primary
commitments to other areas of study.
Academic Pathways: For ease in planning,
we have laid out suggested program sequences, or academic pathways, in subjects
where student interest is strong and where we
have special strength. Students may take any
of the programs and courses in this area at
any time, provided they meet all prerequisites. Each pathway is composed of a number
of regularly offered programs and courses
arranged so that students can easily gain
essential prerequisites, and also arranged so
students can balance Science, Technology
and Health with studies in other areas.
We do not want students to spend all their
time in a single subject, so they should plan
to select at least two quarters of work from
other Specialty Areas.
Some pathways are equivalent to the
"majors" available in conventional colleges
and universities. Others are unique to
Evergreen, and take advantage of the
college's special emphasis on interdisciplinary
learning. All are designed to give students the
knowledge and skills they need to go on to
productive work or graduate study in the
fields of their choice.

The current Science, Technology and
Health academic pathways are listed below.
Detailed descriptions of each pathway are on
the following pages.
Chemical Systems
Computer Studies
Energy Studies
Health and Human Behavior with three subpathwaysPsychological Counseling
Human Services
Health Sciences
Laboratory Biology
Mathematics
Physical Systems

Programs and Courses: Much of the
academic work in Science, Technology and
Health takes place in full-time integrated
programs, in which several subjects are
taught in a coordinated way that allows the
concepts and skills from each to aid the
learning of the others. A full-time student
typically enrolls in one of these programs for
12 to 16 quarter hours each quarter. Almost
all of the descriptions on the following pages
refer to programs of this kind.
In addition, we offer a number of courses
in which a single subject is taught. These
courses typically award 4 or 6 quarter hours
or about one-fourth to one-third of a fulltime load. These courses are useful for
gaining prerequisites, for pursuing part-time
studies, or simply for gaining an acquaintance with a subject without making a fulltime commitment to it.
Important Note: Students who plan to
gain a given prerequisite by taking one of
these courses should pay close attention to
their timing. We offer most courses only once
each year. Courses are listed quarterly in The
Evergreen Times.

Career Pathways in Science,
Technology and Health
Chemical Systerhs
This pathway will provide a strong background for professional work or study in
chemistry as well as a superior foundation
for students going into medicine or quantitative environmental studies. Advanced topics
in chemical thermodynamics and bonding
will be offered. In addition, other topics
offered in rotation will include chemical
dynamics, molecular structure, biochemistry,
environmental chemistry, inorganic chemistry
and chemical instrumentation. Laboratory
work will place a heavy emphasis on
laboratory computation and computer
graphics using recently acquired AT&T
computer systems. Linear/digital electronics,
microprocessors and their applications to
scientific measurements will be covered in
alternate years.
Senior project topics include studies and
simulations of chaotic chemical systems,
silicon chemistry, instrument design,
biophysics and biochemistry.

Computer Studies

Energy Studies

The Computer Studies pathway is designed
to serve students planning careers or
graduate study in the fields of computer
science and information systems. The student
who completes this pathway will have a solid
foundation in computer science and will be
prepared for career opportunities in this
rapidly expanding area.
The pathway.is strongly interdisciplinary
and includes partnership programs offered on
a regular basis with other specialty areas and
the disciplines of the arts, communication,
education, management and business, and
the natural sciences. Some of the Computer
Studies pathway is accessible on a part-time
basis and to students outside the specialty
area.

The Energy Studies pathway leads to careers
in applied energy analysis and development,
energy-efficient design, and energy policy
analysis and implementation. Opportunities
for employment exist throughout the
industrial and commercial sector, and in
numerous local, state and federal agencies.
The heart of the Energy Studies curriculum
is the third-year program, "Energy Systems,"
which is followed by fourth-year work in
either technical or policy areas.

Human Health and Behavior

Laboratory Biology

Mathematics

The Human Health and Behavior pathway
has three main, often intersecting branches:
psychological counseling, human services and
health sciences. Workers in all three areas
need to be fully aware of the interaction of
social, psychological and biological forces
which affect human health and behavior.
Each branch needs to develop its own tools,
but with full awareness of the impacts and
complementary roles of the other fields.
For Human Services, the entry level
program, "Human Health and Behavior," is
designed to investigate the various fields of
human behavior and their interactions,
within a cultural context while developing
the vocabularies and fundamentals needed to
function within these fields. More specialized
programs at the junior and senior levels such
as "Science of Mind" and "Psychological
Counseling" develop the special skills needed
in each area.
Health Sciences provides preparation for
professional training in medicine, dentistry,
naturopathic medicine, midwifery and
veterinary medicine; paraprofessional jobs
such as counseling in nutrition and health;
graduate work in nutrition, biochemistry,
genetics, microbiology and pathology. The
entry program for students in this branch
would be either "Matter and Motion" or
"Foundations of Natural Science." Upperdivision work would include the "Molecule
to Organism" program and possible
additional work in advanced biology,
nutrition, health policy planning, computers,
statistics or experimental design.

This pathway focuses on studies of molecular
and organismic biology in the lab, using
concepts and methods from biochemistry,
molecular and cellular biology, genetics, and
development and physiology. It is distinguished from basic ecological studies (see
Environmental Studies) that entail more
fieldwork.

The Mathematics pathway consists of a
variety of courses, integrated programs and
Individual Contracts that provide students
with the opportunity to do intermediate and
advanced-level work in mathematics. It is
designed to serve those students who are
preparing for careers and/or graduate study
in mathematics, as well as those who want a
solid background in mathematics for work in
related fields.
Students are encouraged to combine their
study of mathematics with that of related
disciplines, such as computer science, physics
or philosophy. The two Coordinated Studies
listed below provide the full-time student
with an integrated way to do this. Courses
and Individual Contracts enable both fulland part-time students to do more specialized
and advanced work.

This program is designed to develop an
integrated understanding of chemistry,
physics, biology and mathematics in a
cultural and evolutionary context. We will
start with the study of our physical universe
through astrophysics and chemistry: the four
forces of nature and the structures of matter
and energy. Later we will apply these
concepts to biological systems, continuing an
evolutionary and developmental theme. The
study of chemistry will be central throughout
the year. Laboratory experience will be an
important component inthe study of
chemistry, physics and biology. Students will
be expected to make serious progress in
mathematics throughout the year and several
levels of math will be available with selection
based on an entrance placement exam. In the
Spring Quarter some specialization will be
available in one of the three sciences or in the
philosophical development of scientific ideas.
A weekly seminar series will deal with the
ways in which culture and philosophy have
affected the developing sciences. We will
expect students to read and discuss and write
about this interplay of science and society.
Throughout this work, we want students
to develop an integrated grasp of the sciences
through a combination of lectures, problem
sessions, laboratory work and small-group
conceptual workshops in order to end the
year with a working knowledge of concepts,
critical reasoning, problem-solving skills and
hands-on experience in natural science.

Total: 48 credits

Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in education, laboratory biology, the
health sciences, environmental/earth/marine
science and for students interested in natural
science for reasons of general education.

This program is designed for students with a
keen desire to develop a firm physical science
and mathematics background as preparation
for advanced work. In addition to teaching
the central concepts and methods of the
physical sciences, "Matter and Motion"
investigates how discovery happens. The
program is intended for students with strong
high school backgrounds in science and
mathematics. An alternative program for
students with less background is the
"Foundations of Natural Science" program.
This program combines material from
first-year physics, chemistry, calculus and
computer programming with relevant areas
of history, philosophy and literature in an
exploration of the nature of inquiry and the
basis of scientific discovery. Differential and
integral calculus provide a foundation for the
study of university chemistry and physics,
including mechanics, stoichiometry and
bonding, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and electricity, and
magnetism. In seminar, students will study
issues in ethics, literature and history to see
what the sciences can-and
cannotcontribute to human affairs.
"Matter and Motion" replaces traditional
science laboratories with Exploration
sessions. Students explore the nature of
physical systems with special emphasis on the
use of laboratory microcomputers for
interfacing experimental measuring devices,
collecting and processing data and controlling scientific experiments.

"Molecule to Organism" is for students
pfanning to go on to advanced work in
biology or chemistry. An integrative seminar
series will accompany the core studies of the
program every quarter. The seminar deals
with such subjects as the ethical considerations of advances in biology, medicine and
molecular biology; the setting of priorities in
research and health care delivery; and the
actual practice of science as revealed by
reading the biographies of scientists.
As we develop an understanding of organic
chemical structure during Fall Quarter, we
will also look at the other end of the size
scale-at general biological structure and
organization. Since the program assumes no
previous study of biology, we will start with
the whole body-something
more recognizable than molecular reactions. We will study
comparative physiology and anatomy, as well
as development. As the year progresses, we
will bring the two topics of organic chemistry
and whole organisms together to examine the
workings of bodies on a smaller and more
intimate scale, studying examples of cellular
and molecular processes.
In Spring Quarter, we hope to offer a more
open-ended set of topics for study. The topics
may include immunology, nutrition,
neuroscience, molecular biology or more
advanced work in chemistry or physiology.
We will take the viewpoint that learning
how to ask good questions and how to find
the answers are better than trying to cram a
lot of soon-forgotten facts into one's brain.
To this end, the seminar will also examine
classic and current research papers. Perhaps
we might also catch the authors' enthusiasm
for their work.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed in organic and biochemistry,
developmental biology, comparative
physiology and anatomy, genetics and cell

The central topic of this quarter will be how
molecular structure is determined experimentally and how this knowledge is used. This
will require a development of topics in
symmetry, spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. Students will learn how crystal
structures are determined. Each student will
solve a simple structure problem. Applications to chemistry (molecular structure),
geochemistry (minerals) and soil chemistry
will be developed. Heavy use will be made of
computers.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:
8-symmetry and quantum chemistry
4-x-ray diffraction
4-research
Total: 16 credits

Program is preparatory for careers and future
study in environmental science, chemistry,
geology and environmental policy.

Energy Systems is designed to look broadly at
issues of energy generation and utilization in
our society and in the natural world around
us. One of the goals of the program is to give
students an understanding of the issues
involved in achieving a sustainable energy
society. We will examine energy science and
technology, as well as related topics like
energy policy, economics, politics and
environmental concerns.
We will focus on electric and nuclear
power and examine alternative energy
sources such as solar, wind, geothermal,
biofuels, etc. There will be modules covering
the fundamentals of electricity, nuclear
energy, solar energy and thermodynamics.
Students will be expected to complete a
component in calculus to be offered either as
part of this program or in conjunction with
another program. Students who have already
completed calculus will be expected to take
some other module which continues the
development of their math skills, or a
component in computer programming.
In seminar we will explore the social,
political and economic aspects of energy
production and use, including environmental
and ecological concerns. Students will have
an opportunity to undertake individual
projects or to do internships in Spring
Quarter. Field trips to energy production or
technology centers are planned.

This contract will study particular mathematical structures-geometric,
topological
and algebraic-from
historical and psychological points of view as well as the purely
mathematical. We will consider such
questions as: Are such systems discovered or
created? Why does a particular culture allow
some to flourish and ignore others? What are
some of the ramifications of embracing one
model instead of another? Why are there so
few ranking women mathematicians?
The contract is designed for people
intending to pursue studies in mathematics
and the sciences, for those who plan to teach
in the area and for those who simply want to
know more about mathematical thinking.
"Mathematical Systems" is divided into
seminars, workshops and coursework.
Students may enroll in the seminar/workshop
portion, in individual courses or in the entire
constellation of activities. If you have
questions about the appropriateness of your
background for the various segments, consult
the instructor.

ment, Spring Quarter

Additional Course Allowed: In special
circumstances
Philosophers, psychologists, neurobiologists,
computer scientists, linguists and anthropologists have raised questions about the human
mind. What is the structure of mind? What is
the relationship of mind and brain? Does the
brain work like a computer; if so, what kind
of computer? How do culture and biology
affect the development of mind? To what
extent is the mind rational? A "cognitive
revolution" has transformed the study of
these questions.
"Science of Mind" will explore the nature
of this revolution. It will consider theories
from contemporary cognitive psychology and
neurobiology, issues in philosophy of science,
mind and language, as well as computer
models of mental activity. Emphasis will be
placed on theories about the nature of
memory and reasoning as well as current
developments in the use of neural nets for
computer simulation. The program will cover
basic cellular neurobiology, application of
neural network models, techniques of
experimental cognitive psychology, research
design in psychology, descriptive and
inferential statistics with psychological
applications, use of the computer for data
analysis and computer simulations of mental
activity.
Fall and Winter Quarters: considerable
work.in statistics and research design as well
as a survey of research in cognitive psychology, neurobiology and related fields.
Spring Quarter: an extensive research
project in experimental cognitive psychology,
neurobiology, computer modeling or library
research.

Part-time Options: Yes, 12 credits, with
faculty permission
Internship Possibilities: Consult faculty
Additional Course Allowed: Yes, students
with a strong entering background in science
and/or psychology are encouraged to
substitute a course-i.e. chemistry, college
algebra, media production, language or
statistics (4 credits per quarter)-which
helps
meet needs for future work. Details need to
be discussed with the faculty.
In "Human Health and Behavior" we will
investigate the biological, psychological,
spiritual and social forces that affect human
behavior in order to develop strong foundation for further work in the areas of health,
human services, education and counseling.
Program material will be presented on the
basis of two important assumptions. First,
behavior and health are mutually influenced
by psychological, biological and spiritual
forces. Second, culture defines and influences
our understanding and facilitation of health.
Drawing particularly from human biology,
sociology, anthropology and psychology, the
program will examine physiological development, the roles of gender and culture in
differentiating human behavior; the central
importance of self-esteem, and the guiding
psychological processes. Emphasis will be
placed on cognitive development, nutrition,
perception, mind-body interactions, the
impacts of social and community structure,
and sociological and ecological forces
influencing mental and physical health.
Students will be encouraged to develop
analytical skills in reading, writing, discussion and research, as well as programs to
facilitate their own good health.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed among psychology, human
biology, nutrition, sociology, anthropology
and health.

Sponsor: Justino Balderrama
Enrollment: 24 Faculty: 1
Prerequisites: Core Program; background in
social science; faculty signature
Special Expenses: No
Part-time Options: No
Internship Possibilities: No
Additional Course Allowed: No
The guiding assumption in this advanced
group contract is that paradigms, models,
classifications and methodologies inherited
from the past no longer fully inform our
knowledge or understanding of the contemporary human service environment.
A revisionist criticism called postmodernism is urging us to reconsider our basic
pre-suppositions about professional human
service practice and its disciplines of social
science. Consequently we will reconsider
three professional practices: human services,
healthlhealing systems, and therapy/
counseling by using the new methods of
analysis suggested by post modernism. We
seek to understand how such powerful
thought-systems as feminism, post-structuralism, multicultural studies, cultural studies,
indigenous ism, critical theory and deconstruction have influenced, if at all, these three
professional practices.
The contract is designed for students
preparing themselves for the human service
professions who seriously wish to reconsider
the underlying assumptions that guide
present day theory and practice.
We hope to examine the works of Daly,
Keller, Griffin, Kristeva, Cixous, Allen,
Arguelles, Lacan, Derrida, Foucault, Geertz,
Clifton, Brotherston, Momaday, Douglas and
Hinojosa.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours:

profession and who may eventually attend
graduate school in psychology, social work
or a related area. It has three major components: (1) the study of much of the material
usually prerequisite to graduate work; (2)
development of interpersonal skills in one-toone, small group and large group contexts;
and (3) intensive personal growth work, since
being an effective helper requires that one be
relatively unhindered by one's own" stuff."
Three days a week (one-and-a-half in
spring), we will explore theories and models
of human growth and change, primarily ,
through interactive modes including lecturediscussions and seminars. Experiential
workshops led by faculty and others will
provide the primary means of skill development and learning. Students will be expected
to be co-creators of the learning experience.
We will study re-evaluation counseling and
participate in a co-counseling relationship
throughout the year.
Internship Component: Spring Quarter,
students will assume a helping role in a
human service agency (16-20 hours a week).
Through the retreat, social activities and
frequent opportunities for feedback in all
directions, we will create a supportive,
nurturing, stimulating and exciting learning
community.

Planned equivalencies in quarter hours: Will
be distributed in personality theory, communication skills, developmental psychology,
psychology of self-esteem, family systems,
conflict resolution skills, abnormal psychology, theories of counseling and psychotherapy and issues and ethics in the helping
professions.

Special F<?rms of S,tudy
Internships and
Cooperative Education
More than half of Evergreen's students
complete one or more Internships by the time
they graduate. This compares with a
nationwide figure of less than two percent.
Although most Interns work in businesses,
schools, government agencies, or nonprofit
organizations in southwest Washington,
Internships are also available throughout the
state, the nation, and even in other countries,
in both the private and public sectors.
Each Internship must be approved in
advance by the Office of Cooperative
Education, which is part of Evergreen's
Student Advising Center. Opportunities to
conduct Internships are built into many
academic programs. They also are available
for upper-division students through Individual Learning Contracts.
Unless an Internship is required as part of
one's work in a Coordinated Studies Program
or Group Contract, students are eligible to
conduct Internships only after they have been
enrolled at Evergreen for at least one quarter.
Priority access to Internships through
Individual Learning Contracts is given to
seniors.
Each Internship is sponsored by an
Evergreen faculty member (or approved staff
sponsor) who works closely with the Intern
and her or his field supervisor to determine
the amount of credit to be awarded for
Internship Learning, Activities at the
Internship site are guided by a field supervisor. At the end of the quarter, the faculty
sponsor, with the benefit of the field
supervisor's evaluation, writes the final
evaluation describing the student's performance and internship-related learning.
Each quarter of an Internship is planned,
arranged, conducted and evaluated based on
the student's academic objectives for that
quarter. Those objectives and all other
Internship-related matters are negotiated and
agreed to by the student, sponsor and field
supervisor before the Internship begins.
These agreements are formalized in an
internship contract that is signed by all
parties. Internships invariably include a
strong component of academic activities such
as related reading, a daily journal, weekly
conferences with one's faculty and various
written reports.
The Office of Cooperative Education is the
central source of current information about
Internship programs, policies and procedures,

available Internship positions and Internship
sponsors. Co-op staff members are available
throughout the year to answer questions
about the program and to assist students,
sponsors and field supervisors with all
activities involved in planning, arranging and
conducting Internships.
You are encouraged to plan for your
Internship at least a quarter ahead of time.
For more information, call or write the
Office of Cooperative Education, the
Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington 98505.

Writing Center
The Writing Center is available to students
who would like help with reading, study
skills or writing. Priority is given to assisting
students within their academic programs.
Diagnostic testing and individual conferences
are available to help determine needs.
Students can work on reading and writing
improvement with self-paced programs, in
small groups or with individualized help
from the Writing Center professional staff
and student tutors on a first-come, firstserved basis.

Part-time Studies
Self-Paced Learning
Part-time courses are offered throughout the
year. Please check with the Admissions
Office, however, if you only want to enroll
part time, as priority goes to full-time
students. Up-to-date descriptions of parttime offerings are published quarterly in The

Evergreen Times.
Prior Learning from Experience
Prior Learning from Experience is a structured program for adult students who want
to examine their pre-college experience for
potential academic credit. PLE students plan,
develop and write an extended paper which
discusses the context of their pre-college
experience, and the resultant learning.
The program requires all students
accepted to take a "Writing from Experience" 4-credit class, usually offered in Winter
and Summer Quarters. Writing from
Experience requires students to examine their
own learning patterns and writing skills and
work on the narrative portion of the PLE
document. When completed, the document
is submitted to the PLE Credit Evaluation
Committee for assessment of credit for prior
learning.
Applications for enrollment in the PLE
program are taken all year long, but
enrollment is limited. Interested students are
encouraged to contact the PLE office early.
Most students complete their papers in a
two-quarter sequence, with a third quarter
required for evaluation. When accepted into
the program, students have one academic
year in which to complete the process.
For application forms and further
information about PLE, contact the PLE
office. For information on other forms of
prior learning credit, see "Credit for Military
and Flight Training," and "Credit for
Training Sequences," page 24. A flyer on the
various possibilities for attaining credit for
work outside the classroom is available from
the PLE office.

Since Evergreen opened it has been building a
collection of slide-tapes, computer-assisted
instruction, videotapes, programmed texts
and other resources with which you can
independently study such diverse areas as
science, management, music, mathematics
and languages. Credit for self-paced studies
can be earned either on an individual
contract or, sometimes, in regular academic
programs. Self-paced learning resources that
do not require computers are housed in the
Library. Computer-assisted resources are
housed in the Computer Center.

Library

Computer Services

The Daniel J. Evans Library hires people who
are not only experts in media and information management and retrieval, but who
want to share what they know with you.
The selection of books, equipment and other
materials is carefully coordinated with the
college's academic programs. Staff members
are always on hand to help you relate the
Library's resources to your academic work
and personal enrichment.
The Library's resources are the "what" of
information usage while the Library's staff
provides the "how" through workshops for
locating and using printed, filmed, taped and
microfiched information, library research
methods, and free instruction in the use of
media equipment and basic media.
"What" you will find in the Library
includes 4,000 items of media loan equipment (including cameras, projectors, tape
recorders and video/audio equipment); over
231,000 books, 30,000 reference volumes,
four well-equipped recording studios, a
complete video production system, films,
recordings, maps, documents, editing
benches, drafting tables, and 1,920 periodical
subscriptions.
In addition to resources on hand,
Evergreen's Library offers you access to
books and periodicals through the computerized database of the Washington Library
Network and through on-line database
searching. In fact, Evergreen students and
faculty borrow more Interlibrary Loan
materials than any other college in the
Northwest, and the Library circulates more
of its collections proportionately than most
colleges - over 190,000 volumes last year.
More details can be found in the Library
Comix publication, which can be picked up
just inside the Library's main doors. You can
also call ext. 6250 for more information or
drop in and talk to any Library staff member.

In Academic Computing, the emphasis is
placed on students and technology. Students
are provided with broad opportunities
throughout the curriculum, rather than in
just a few computer science classes. The use
of facilities continues to grow as Evergreen
adds microcomputers and networking, and as
more academic programs incorporate
computing. There is no charge to students
for the use of computing facilities.
Located in Library 2408, the Computer
Center is a place where individual attention
comes first. Direct your questions to the
Computer Center's student consultants.
Many students use the college's Data
General MV10000 "super-mini" computer,
which offers several computer languages,
including Pascal, COBOL, LISP and BASIC,
as well as software like SPSSx and DBMS.
In 1986, Evergreen received a National
Science Foundation grant to create the
Microcomputer Laboratory, which now
offers 30 AT&T microcomputers, video
projection equipment and access to the Data
General computer.
The college has received computer
equipment grants totaling nearly $1 million
from AT&T. The equipment allows
Academic Computing to upgrade the
Microcomputer Lab, increase the number of
microcomputers and improve computer
networking.
Evergreen recently expanded its Macintosh
laboratory to 18 Mac II computer stations;
these are networked to share printing and
peripheral resources. Complementing
Evergreen's mainframe and other micro
resources, the Mac Lab provides students
with graphics, word processing, imaging and
desktop publishing capabilities for academic
projects.
Some equipment for plotting and graphics
is also available in the Computer Center, as
are manuals, specially-designed reference
materials and workshops to help you make
the best use of the facilities. Evergreen also
has visual enlargement software and software
and hardware to support persons with special
needs. A Washington Services for the Blind
grant has expanded this resource with
personal reading and braille printing
equipment. Microcomputers designed for
natural science applications are located in
LAB II, see page 103.
Evergreen has established several microcomputer purchase plans for student use at
substantial educational discounts through the
college Bookstore. We encourage you to
consider purchase of a computer for your
academic work at Evergreen.

Student and Support Services
The Hillaire Student Advising Center
The Hillaire Student Advising Center (SAC)
exists to coordinate advising services among
faculty, students and staff.
The Center includes the offices of Academic Advising; the Prior Learning Program;
Career Development, which provides
students with career planning and placement;
Cooperative Education, described on page
86; KEY-Special Services, which provides
personal and academic skills development;
the First Peoples' Advising Services, which
supports students of color by providing
academic, personal and social support on a
drop-in basis; and the Dean of Student and
Academic Support Services.
Located in the 1400 wing of the Library,
. the Student Advising Center provides up-todate information on academic programs,
faculty, job listings and other resources for
students. The Center also offers numerous
workshops throughout the year on such
themes as writing evaluations, how to
compile and maintain Evergreen portfolios,
developing study skills, and career and
academic planning. Programs and services
are designed to assist students as they work
toward their educational goals.
See the Academic Advising Office's
publication, The Evergreen Student Handbook, for more about the SAC and advising
at Evergreen.
Other Services
Students and Academic Support Services also
include progams located elsewhere on
campus. These include: Student Activities, the
Counseling and Health Center, Upward
Bound, the Evergreen Childcare Center, the
Cooper Point Journal, and KAOS (Campus
radio station). Each office is devoted to
supporting the academic and personal
development of students. See The Evergreen
Student Handbook for more information
about the Academic Support Services, or
contact the Dean in the 1400 wing of the
Library, ext. 6034, or the office that is

Graduate Study at Evergreen
Master of Environmental Studies
(MES)
Director: Ralph Murphy
The Graduate Program in Environmental
Studies opened in September 1984, and has
reached its steady state capacity of approximately 80 students. Our first graduates of
June 1986, are now in public and private
sector jobs or continuing graduate studies in
related fields. The program is integrated and
interdisciplinary. A primary objective for
study is a deep understanding of environmental policy development and implementation. Study will focus on the relationship
between science and policy. Students can
expect a balanced curriculum which
considers and seeks creative solutions to
contemporary environmental issues.
The MES Program is open to part-time
and full-time students. To make attendance
easier for employed students, most coursework is concentrated in the evening and late
afternoon.
The 72-quarter-hour completion requirement can be met by part-time students in
nine quarters, while full-time students can
complete their work in as few as six quarters.
All students are expected to have recent
coursework in both the social and natural
sciences and in statistics before entering the
program.

The MES Program consists primarily of
three parts: (1) a required core taken by all
students, (2) electives and (3) a thesis. The
core is taught by an interdisciplinary team,
usually a social scientist and a natural
scientist. It is eight quarter hours per quarter
and constitutes the full load for part-time
students. The core runs consecutively for four
quarters: Fall, Winter, Spring and Fall. All
students are required to complete an original
thesis which has policy implications. It may
be the written result of an individual or
small-group project. Students will enroll in
the following core sequence:
Societal and Environmental
(8 quarter hours)

Processes

Population, Energy and Resources
(8 quarter hours)
Quantitative Analysis for Environmental
Studies
(8 quarter hours)
Case Studies: Environmental
Policy and Management
(8 quarter hours)

Assessment,

Electives include land resources, natural
resource economics, environmental policy,
ecological methods, environmental management, ecological principles, environmental
philosophy and ethics, American environmental history and watershed management.
Electives are 4 quarter hours each. Some
variation from year to year will occur based
on student interest and faculty availability.
Questions concerning the MES Program
should be directed to Carol Simila-Dickinson,
Assistant Director, Graduate Program in
Environmental Studies, The Evergreen State
College, Lab I, Olympia, WA 98505; 2061

Master of Public Administration
(MPA)
Director: Lucia Harrison
The Graduate Program in Public Administration offers a master's degree in public
administration (MPA). The program's
primary commitment is to challenge and
thoroughly prepare students to seek democratic, equitable and practical solutions to the
problems which face state and local governments in the Pacific Northwest.
The program welcomes students intending
to pursue a public sector career and those
already working for government or organizations involved in public issues. It is open to
full- and part-time students. Most students
enrolled in the program are employed full
time by state or local governments and are
pursuing their graduate studies on a parttime basis. To accommodate these working
students, classes are concentrated in the
evenings.
A part-time student can complete the 60quarter-hour degree requirement in eight
academic quarters. A full-time student may
complete the requirement in six quarters.
Students lacking significant public sector
experience are expected to complete an
internship for at least one academic quarter.
To satisfy the degree requirement, a
student must participate in a sequence of five
core programs and complete three elective
courses and an applications project. Each
core program is interdisciplinary and team
taught by two or three faculty. The core
sequence provides sustained instruction in the
analytical, administrative and communication skills needed for effective public service.
It is also designed to imbue students with the
habit of examining the political and economic context of public administration and
policy making, of addressing the ethical
dimension of administration and policy, and
of attending to the roles and issues of race
and gender in the workplace and in public
policy.
Elective courses allow a student to broaden
the study of the public sector beyond the
range of the core programs or to concentrate
intensely on a specific public sector issue.
The applications project is completed
concurrently with the core program in Public
Policy over the Winter and Spring Quarters

Graduation at the Tacoma Campus

of the second year. It is a group or individually authored research effort, usually with
practical impact for current public sector
entities. The topic, form and content of any
project will vary with the student's interests,
opportunities and development, but every
project represents the culmination of work in
the program and provides a document which
demonstrates the author's knowledge and
ability.
The MPA curriculum is:
Core Programs
The Political and Economic Context of
Public Administration
(8 quarter hours)
Managing Human Resources
(8 quarter hours)

For some who apply, the transcript or
admissions material may be an incomplete
reflection of their interests and abilities. Our
admissions process considers the applicant's
academic preparation as well as his or her
professional accomplishments or other public
activities and may require an interview with
faculty.

The Graduate Catalog
The Graduate Catalog is available upon
request from the Admissions Office. It
contains a full description of the curriculum,
academic policies and admissions procedures
for both the MP A and MES programs.
Financial Aid
Limited financial aid is available in the form
of fellowships, assistantships, scholarships,
work-study assistance and guaranteed
student loans. The Financial Aid application
must be completed before any financial aid
decision can be made. Financial Aid Forms
(FAFs) should be mailed to the College
Scholarship Service by March 1. Later
applicants who qualify for financial aid will
compete for the remaining monies. Certain
forms of financial aid are available to fulltime students; aid to part-time students,
however, is more limited. In some cases, the
MP A or MES Programs can assist a student
in obtaining part-time public sector employment. Information on financial aid is
available from the MPA Program, the MES
Program and the Financial Aid Office at
Evergreen.

Electives
(12 quarter hours; typically, three 4 quarter
hour courses)

Master in Teaching (MIT)

Elementary and Secondary Endorsements

Admissions Requirements

Director: John Parker
Program Assistant: Ernestine Pearl

An endorsement is a qualifying phrase on a
Washington Teaching Certificate which
identifies the grade level and subject matter
area in which an individual may teach.
Before beginning the MIT, students must
have their endorsement area coursework
completed (or within one academic quarter
of completion).
The secondary education candidate,
preparing for teaching in departmentalized
classrooms in grades 4-12, must have a
Primary Endorsement, and is encouraged to
add a Supporting Endorsement as well. The
available Primary Endorsements include
English; mathematics; physics; science with
biology, chemistry or physics concentrations
and social studies.
The elementary education candidate,
preparing for teaching in any classroom,
grades K-8, will qualify for the Elementary
Primary Endorsement, but must also have
two Supporting Endorsements. Available
supporting endorsements include: art,
chemistry, economics, English, Spanish,
French, German, history, math, physics and
political science. The elementary education
endorsement qualifies an individual to teach
any subject in grades K-8 except special
education.
Any course required for an endorsement
which is lacking at time of admission to the
program, must be completed no later than
the summer preceding year two. It is not
possible to undertake any endorsement
courses during the six quarters of the
professional program.

Admission to the Teacher Education program
is competitive.
Minimum requirements include a B.A. or
B.S. at the time of entry, a 3.0 grade point
average on graded transcripts (or comparable
work on ungraded transcripts). General
Education requirements for all candidates
include 8 quarter hours of ~atural science, 8
quarter hours of social science and 12
quarter hours in writing.
As part of the entry process, students must
take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). The
score on this exam, however, will not be used
as a criterion for admission, but will be used
in a long range research study.
.
Students wishing to apply to this program
must submit all material to the Admissions
Office. Required material includes the
teacher education application form, official
transcripts from every college previously
attended, three letters of recommendation, a
work experience resume and two essays. For
complete information on admission, consult
our catalog, Teacher Education at Evergreen,
1991-1993.

Graduate Teacher Education
Evergreen offers an innovative Master in
Teaching degree program, full-time for six
academic quarters. Successful completion will
result in the MIT degree and Initial Certification.
Evergreen's MIT is interdisciplinary and
team taught. A group of 45 students and a
faculty of three will form a "learning
community" which will essentially remain
together for two academic years.
The program content meets all academic
requirements for the Washington Initial
Teaching Certificate, and most academic
requirements for the Washington Continuing
Certificate.
Major areas of interdisciplinary study in
the program will include psychology,
philosophy and history of education,
multicultural studies, research and teaching
methods. There will be a strong emphasis on
field experience. Five of the six quarters will
include significant work with students in
schools.

Access & Facilities
Student Union
,
In June 1989, Evergreen's student body
approved a proposal for creating a Student
Union, whose activities will be coordinated
by a six-member Student Union Board.
The Social Contract, Code of Student
Conduct and the Grievance and Appeal
Process are printed in the The Evergreen
Student Handbook.
Food Services
The Corner Cafe, located in the Housing
Community Center, is a student-run
collective, featuring homemade breads,
soups and daily vegetarian specials.
The Greenery, located on the first floor
of the CAB, offers a bountiful salad bar,
Mexican food, homemade pastries,
international food bar and more. One
floor up, The Deli features sandwiches,
espresso, ice cream and beverages.
Payment may be cash or on a scrip ticket
basis. Scrip tickets are convenient and
save 10 percent on food purchases. You
may purchase your $50 books of scrip for
$45 in the Cafeteria.
Student and staff member Anna Mae
Livingston addresses Convocation, 1989.
If you are a physically. or sensory challenged person you will find yourself not
only welcomed at Evergreen, but encouraged to become a vital, active participant
in our community.
Our goal is to provide support and
assistance that will facilitate the greatest
degree of personal independence and selfreliance possible during your Evergreen
career. In order to identify approprate
support services, we ask you to notify the
college 60 days before registration to
ensure required accommodations can be
arranged. All verification disability
materials are held in strict confidence and
must be received prior to enrollment to be
eligible for special services.
Offices that will assist you are:
Affirmative Action
ext. 6364 or (206) 866-6834 for direct
VoicerTDD;
Physically and Sensory
Challenged Students
ext. 6348.
Students With Challenges Group
ext. 6092
To make arrangements to visit, request
an information brochure on our services or
just talk, please feel free to call the
Affirmative Action Office. We look
forward to learning with and from you.

Mail Services
Student mail is delivered six days a week
and a self-serve postal unit is provided in
the CAB. If you're a new student moving
into Campus Housing, you can send your
belongings to Mail Services,
The Evergreen State College,
Olympia, WA 98505.
Security
Campus Security is open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week and is staffed by officers
trained in law enforcement and problem
resolution skills. Security works to resolve
problems by using Evergreen's Social
Contract (see The Evergreen Student
Handbook for a complete copy of this
document). While charged with law and
college regulation enforcement, in the case
of a serious incident, unarmed campus
officers may act as intermediaries between
campus community members and county
deputy sheriffs rather than perform direct,
initial involvement.
Although the college is not responsible
for the loss of personal property from
campus buildings, Security provides cards
for listing personal valuables and, for a
small fee, will register and license bicycles.
Security keeps property information on file
in case of loss or theft.
\

Other Facilities On Campus
LABS I and II provide a learning environment for the arts and sciences. LAB I
houses teaching and research labs,
advanced microscopy lab, and several
instrument labs which feature a scanning
electron microscope with x-ray elemental
analysis capability, a gas chromatograph,
mass spectrometer and other equipment.
LAB II houses the Computer Applications Lab and weaving, printmaking, neon,
batiking, drawing and design facilities as
well as open studio spaces and general
laboratory science space.

which provide cultural, informational,
social, recreational, spiritual and educational services and activities. The current
organizations include AsianJPacific Isle

eligible persons with information and all
VA-related applications to insure them
maximum use of educational entitlements.
The Office of Veterans Affairs also
provides counseling, advocacy and referral
for veteran students.

The Washington State Institute
for Public Policy
undertakes research studies, sponsors
conferences, publishes newsletters and
otherwise promotes the flow of information between higher education and public
officials. The Institute also provides
internship opportunities for Evergreen
undergraduate and graduate students.
One of the Institute's largest projects is an
annual survey of 2000 low-income and atrisk Washington families. This information is an invaluable aid to state policy
making.
Facilities/Use Regulations
Because Evergreen is state-owned, there
are responsibilities to the state and county
that must be met.
Alcoholic Beverages
No liquor is allowed on campus, or in
campus facilities, unless a banquet permit
has been issued by the State Liquor
Control Board. Rooms in the residence
halls and modular units are homes, and
drinking is legally permissible for students
21 or older.
Using College Premises
Evergreen's facilities may be used for
activities other than education, provided
that users meet eligibility requirements,
suitable space is available, and adequate
preparations are made.
Arrangements for conferences or group
gatherings by outside organizations are
made through Conference Services, CAB
214.
Evergreen students, faculty and staff
who want to schedule a special event or
outside speaker must contact the Production Clearance Coordinator, CAB 305.
Reservations for space and/or facilities
are made through the Space and Scheduling Office, Seminar Building, room 4109.
Allocations of space are made first for
Evergreen's regular instructional and
research programs, next for major allcollege events, then for events related to
special interests of groups of students,
faculty or staff, and then for alumnisponsored events. Last priority goes to
events sponsored by individuals and
organizations outside the college.
No admission fee may be charged or
contributions solicited at on-campus events
or meetings without written permission
from the Production Clearance Coordina-

tor or Conference Services.
Special events or outside speakers that
are sponsored by S&A funded organizations are scheduled through the Student
Activities office. Evergreen students,
faculty and staff who want to schedule a
special event must go through the Space
and Scheduling Office, Seminar Building,
room 4109.
All private and student vendors must
schedule tables through Student Activities
office. Student vendors are provided with
tables and the fee is $2. Private vendors,
and alumni will have to provide their own
table and the fee is $15.
Non-student vendors will be limited to
two tables per table and three days per
quarter.
Firearms
The college discourages anyone from
bringing any firearm or weapon onto
campus, however, firearms that must be
brought on campus property will be
checked in and retained by Campus
Security. A special explanation must be
filed with the Security Chief accompanying
the retention request for handguns.
Persons in possession of an unchecked
firearm on campus will be subject to
immediate expulsion from Evergreen, or to
criminal charges.
Pets
Pets are not allowed on campus unless
under physical control by their owner. At
no time are pets allowed in buildings.
Stray animals will be turned over to the
Humane Society.
Bicycles
Bicycles should be locked in parking
blocks provided at various locations
around campus. They should not be
placed in, or alongside, buildings, and
should not be locked to railings. Bicycle
registration/licenses that aid in recovery of
lost or stolen bicycles are available at the
Campus Security office for a small fee.
Smoking
Smoking is only allowed in "Smoking
Permitted" Areas. A revised policy,
creating a smoke-free campus became
effective January 1, 1990. Members of the
campus community are expected to respect
this policy by their actions and accept
shared responsibility for its enforcement.

be cited or impounded at the expense of
the vehicle owner or driver. The college
cannot assume responsibility for any
vandalism or theft to vehicles while parked
on campus.
Affirmative Action
The Board of Trustees of The Evergreen
State College expressly prohibits discrimination against any person on the basis of
race, color, national origin, sex, marital
status, religion, sexual preference, age,
disability or veteran status.
The responsibility for, and the protection of, this commitment extends to
students, faculty, administration, staff.,
contractors and those who develop or
participate in college programs.
To implement this commitment,
Evergreen has developed an Affirmative
Action Policy, which is published in the
Washington Administrative Code under
WAC 174-109, (available in the Library
and Affirmative Action Office).
Persons who wish legal or statistical
information on Affirmative Action, or who
believe they have been discriminated
against at Evergreen, are urged to contact
the Affirmative Action Officer, ext. 6368,
or VITDD, (206) 866-6834.
Student Conduct Code
Current copies of this document, which
describes students' rights and responsibilities, are available through the office of the
vice president for Student Affairs.
