NEWS NOTES

The Evergreen family continues to grow as more faculty and administrative personnel
come aboard to further the planning process, which intensifies and gains momentum
with every passing week. (Would you believe the first influx of students is only
15 months away?) Employment has passed the 60 mark and continues to rise. To
refresh the collective memory, here's the rundown since the last issue of the newsletter:
Faculty
(All coming September 1, 1970)
Alfred M. Wiedemann, currently Assistant Professor of Range Management
at Oregon State University, Assistant Professor of Biology.
David L. Kitchens, presently Executive Director of the Northwest Association of Private Colleges and Universities in Portland, As sis tant Profe ssor of History.
Byron L. Youtz, now Academic Vice President and Professor of Physics
at the State University of New York's College at Old Westbury, Professor
of Physics.
E. Jackson Webb, currently an Associate Professor in the Center for
Languages and Literary Study at Prescott College, Arizona, Associate
Professor of English.
W. Robert Barnard, presently an Assistant Professor in the Department
of Motion Picture and Cinema and a Research Specialist in the Department
of Chemistry and College of Biological Sciences at Ohio State University,
Assistant Professor of Chemistry.
William Aldridge. now Associate Professor of Education at Oregon State
University, Associate Professor of Psychology and Education.
Administrative
Dayid W. Brown, currently Acting Director of Admissions at Howard
University in Washington, D. C., becomes Evergreen's Director of Admissions on August 1.
Perrin C. Smith, presently Head Registrar at California Western University
at San Diego, assumes the post of Registrar at Evergreen on September 1*

Meanwhile, recruiting of persons to fill the final four faculty planning positions
and additional administrative and operating posts continues daily. For a little
perspective on the personnel question let's turn to Vice President for Business
Dean E. Clabaugh, who has developed the following information:
For each 18 full-time students, we can project approximately one faculty
member; this means 44 faculty members in the fall of 1971, 94 in the
fall of 1972, and so on, up to approximately 390 in 1977. To operate
a college with its myriad of responsibilities, it takes about two other
staff members for each faculty member . In other words, for every six
students, one college employee will be required. Initially, Evergreen's
ratio will be higher; we'll have 200 employees in 1971 for the 800 students and about 350 on the payroll in 1972. In the years thereafter the
1 to 6 ratio will generally prevail; we project Evergreen's employment
at about 450 in 1973, and so on; by the time enrollment reaches 12,000,
employment should approximate 2,000.
Vice President Clabaugh's summary also looks at the possible economic impacts
Evergreen may have on the local community. Although the figures are approximate
and subject to all kinds of complex factors, they are interesting:
Evergreen's payroll may be $2,000,000 by 1971. Discounting inflation,
the payroll should hit $3,500,000 in 1972 and so on, up to the 12,000
enrollment level when the payroll (based on $10,000 average annual
compensation) may reach $20,000,000. Payroll is only part of the
picture.
Spending by increasingly affluent students will have a major local
impact. A best guess at this point (based on a number of complex
assumptions) would be $500,000 in student spending in 1971, more than
$2,500,000 in 1972 and perhaps $18 to $20 million annually at 12,000
enrollment. Another major element is direct expenditure by the college for goods and services purchased locally. These can be conservatively estimated at perhaps $250,000 in 1971, growing in increments fairly proportionate to enrollment and reaching a level of approximately $2 to $3 million annually by the mid-1980s. Another
factor is construction expenditures, which, over the next ten years,
could total $150 to $200 million. If only 25 percent of that amount
(possibly a conservative figure) is spent locally, the impact could
range from $37 to $50 million.
If you add up all of those figures—which ignore inflationary pressures--you can get some staggering totals. But even those sums conceal the full impact because they do not recognize the induced
"multiplier" effect-»»the dollar stimulus to the community's economy
over and above actual college input. Suffice it to say that Evergreen's presence will dramatically affect Thurstoa Countyla 4»opulation and economic growth.

(

It goes without saying that Evergreen's impact will range far beyond areas which* can
be measured in terms of statistical probability. The college is bound to affect
community life style in significant ways—culturally, intellectually, socially. In
fact it is in these subtle and delicate areas of human relationships that patient
and careful college-community planning becomes most essential.

Turning to the construction scene. The big hole in the woods is getting filled by
the library building, with Hoffman Construction Company of Portland reporting the
job 12 percent completed as of May 31. Some 65 men now are on the Hoffman payroll
:nd the total will increase as the project progresses. Evergreen's Library Construction Coordinator Don Mace reports one-third of the basement floor slab has been
placed, 70 percent of the basement walls are up, and decking has been set for slab
work on the east end of the first floor. At last report, workmen had poured 3,200
cubic y?.rds of concrete and placed 600 tons of steel in the huge structure. And,
best of all, the job remains on schedule.

* * **
Meanwhile, Director of Facilities Planning Jerry Schillinger reports that four construction bid openings are scheduled this month in the offices of the Engineering
and Architectural Division of the State Department of General Administration. They
are as follows:
Site Improvement

June 4

Shop and Garage

June 9

Central Utility Plant

June 23

Residence Halls

June 30

In addition, two bid openings are scheduled next month:

i

'College Activities Building

July 10

Large Group Instruction Center

July 22 (tentative)

Two other projects will be bid late this year and early in 1971: College Recreation
Center in December and Phase One of the Science Building next February.
All of which means that things are really going to begin popping around the campus ,
Bulldozers, earth movers, cement mixers and hard hats may become as visually prominent
as the trees that now dominate the landscape.

Moving toward the start of projects which will be under construction next year and
completed in 1972, the Board of Trustees last month approved preliminary architectural
plans for two buildings. Trustees okayed design development concepts for Phase One of
the Recreation Center and authorized architect Robert Price to draft working drawings
of the 58,000 square foot facility. The board also approved schematic drawings for
the 75,000 square foot first phase of the Science Building and authorized architects
Narramore, Bain, Brady and Johanson of Seattle to move into design development,

Charles Teske , Dean of the Division of Humanities and Arts, joins the staff on a fulltime basis June 15 after many long weeks of plane hopping between Evergreen and Oberlin
College (Ohio). Dean of Social Sciences Merv Cadwallader is due to arrive July 6 or 7
~-»llowing a visit (business, pleasure, R and R variety) to the island of Hvar,
_agoslavia. Of course, we're all familiar with the smiling face of Don (Quint ana Roo)
Humphrey , who's been deaning in Mathematics and Natural Sciences since April.

Notes on a couple of our faculty members:

i

Willard C. Humphreys, who will become an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Evergreen
in September, has edited an introductory philosophy textbook entitled Perception and
Discovery* The book is based on the writings of the late Norwood Russell Hanson,
under whom Humphreys studied at Indiana University and Yale University. It took
Humphreys more than a year to complete his editing xrork. Evolved from Hanson's
original Cambridge lecture notes, which Hanson had begun to transcribe into book
form before he was killed in a plane crash, the book's illustrations and references
had to be compiled almost entirely by Humphreys. Meanwhile, Humphreys plans to edit
two more books of Hanson's papers, one a history of planetary theory and the other a
collection of essays.
Richard M, Jones, who becomes Professor of Psychology at Evergreen in September, also
has been busy, according to a letter he sent to the Newsletter from Harvard University.
He was a featured speaker at the Colorado Department of Education Workshop on Learning
on April 28 in Denver and spoke at the Seminar on Innovative Teaching Techniques on
May 3 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The seminar was held under auspices of the Educational
Development Foundation. Jones recently conducted a one^day workshop in Innovative
Teaching Techniques at the Division of Special Education and Rehabilitation at Syracuse
University. From July 12 to 13 he will serve as a consultant to the Committee on
Academic Innovation Summer Workshop to be held at Messiah College, Grantham, Pennsylvania. Another consultant at the workshop will be Ernest Boyer, Vice Chancellor
of the State University of New York, who is a member of Evergreen's academic advisory
committee.
Professor Jones also notes some recent publications: He wrote two chapters in a
volume entitled Sleep and Dreaming, published in April by Little, Brown and Company.
The paperbook edition of his Fantasy and Feeling in Education has been published by
Harper and Row. And his latest book, The New Psychology of Dreaming, will be published this month by Grune and Stratton, Inc.

* * * ft
And, a final note from Kris Robinson, our friendly neighborhood facilities planning
secretary. First, she wants you to know that the girls softball team she coaches—
The Lacey Leaders—is holding down second place in the league, with five games to go»
Coach Robinson--sort of a Knute Rockne in skirts--says, "Don't let anyone fool you
that the fun is in the playing—we're out to win! " Second, Kris and a friend have
pooled resources and started a little business called Vacation Home Care. Services
to vacationing families include pet care, plant and lawn care, security checks of
the home, mail collection, etc. Only hangup seems to be a. little insurance problem,
but if we know Kris she'll solve it.
