Coo:-rer Point Journal

In William Wagar's "Building the City
of Man," the author foresees a society
whose industrial production is severely
limited by waning natural resources.
Seventy-five per cent employment suffices, and interpersonal services compensate for scarce consumer goods. By rotating jobs and extended vacations, at
any given time 25 per cent of the work
force is at leisure. Thus continued higher
education is made possible for every
worker; some segment of the population
could spend their lives in scholastic pursuits. But we need not wait for Wagar's
post-holocaust utopia. The way is being
cleared for the perpetual student now.
In one of the upcoming sessions, our
legislature will consider changing tuition
payment to a fee-per-credit-hour basis.
This move, sanctioned by the Council on
Higher Education, would correct the inequity whereby a part-time student pays
four times as much for each unit of credit as a full-time student. One of the aims
of Evergreen's new module system was
to encourage people to enroll part-time,
to supplement full-time students. The
proposed new system of payment would
remove the economic deterrent for parttimers; it would also make the neopseudo-quasi-professional student theoretically possible.
Hypothetically, a person could enroll
at Evergreen for Spring Quarter 1974,
take one unit of credit, then a leave of
absence, and an extended leave, then
one more unit, and so on. In Spring
Quarter 2006, the part-time student
would have accrued the necessary credits, and graduate, having paid the same
amount of tuition as a full-time four-year
student. Registrar Walker Allen assures
us that he has great patience with parttime students who may take a long time
to complete their education, so we can
discount the potential administrative obstacle.
A heady thought: 32 years of carefree
student days, replete with such joys as
institutional food, walking about Red
Square,and watching Evergreen on
parade. 32 years of bliss! And we haven't
even discussed graduate school yet.
April 4, 1974

Three members of The Evergreen
State College Touring Audience, on
leaves from the groves of academe,
passed spring break in Ashland, Oregon.
Ashland is the home of the Oregon
Shakespeare Festival, whose spiing session runs from March 8 to April 20.
There they met Lyle Raper, stage
manager for "Two Gentlemen of Verona," a Texas lady with a quick tongue,
game leg, and some interesting words on
artists and audiences.
After a visually delightful but less
than enthralling "Two Gentlemen,"
stayed to watch question and answer
time. In the spring, each play is followed
by a discussion session with the director,
stage manager, and some ot tne actors.
("The actors love it. A chance for more
applause and flashbulbs," Lyle commented.)
The director, Laird Williamson, has
been in the culture game for many
years, and would as soon point out a
paradox as look at you. He willingly explained his mirror-and -mask imagery,
with many an oblique comment on
commedia dell'arte and Watteau's paintings. The session went better than several in the previous week, when a rather
boisterous student group from the University of California at Santa Barbara
had been present. There had been hardly
any "what is art?" type questions.
They sat with Lyle Raper and a
pitcher of Hamm's in Cook's Reception
(the haunt of the local luminaries).
"Those post-play discussions are just the
pit." ("The pit" is a favorite locution of
Lyle's). "I don't mind telling a lone
person who asks me afterward the technique of getting a certain effect, but I
won't lay out trade secrets in front of a
group to every person who asks, 'How
did you make the magic in this play?'
They don't need to be told that; they
need to go home and think about it.
Questions like that are really the pit.
"Some actors create their characters
by remembering what they were like at
a different time. Others come up with a
conception of how the character, like
Philia the virgin, should act, and they
put on that facade. There are as many
styles as there are actors.

"The more I get into this business, the
less I understand of it. The first time I
stage-managed a play, my co-workers
didn't believe me when I said I didn't
know what I was doing. They couldn't
tell me how to do it; ·I had to learn it
myself. You have to fake it until you
fake it as well as the pros."
She counted her change. "Time for
another pitcher."
To the showers, then, and on to the
next stage.

•••

Recently we were backstage with
other creative, dedicated women at work
on the Women's Art Festival. It was invigorating to watch the formation of
what promises to be one of Evergreen's
most enlivening events.
Any undertaking as ambitious as the
Women's Art Festival is bound to be
troubled by procedural problems. Originally, a collective of small subject-oriented groups (e.g., dance, publicity, fundraising), each with a facilitator, met in
frequent planning .sessions, to share information and report progress. Difficulties arose in maintaining current information on the groups.
"I stepped in because follow-through
was not happening," Sheila Dinwiddie
said. She has been the most visible of
the coordinators in recent weeks. Some
have protested that she takes too much
on herself, that the Festival is a collective effort with responsibility shared
equally. Dinwiddie says she isn't interested in running the show or in holding
the title of "facilitator." She responded
to a critic, "It's not me, it's the fact that
the job needs t<' be done." Two other
women, Caril Thompson and Cindy Stewart, are undertaking to share the burdens of organization and locatability.
They will be dedicating most of their
time to the Festival between now and its
opening.
It may seem to compromise the egalitarian, collectivist ideal that responsibility devolves upon a few individuals with
the necessary time and dedication.

From the editor
From the Editor:
Many people have spent a lot of time
and effort in preparing the Journal for
publication this spring. At the end of
Winter Quarter, the Journal was faced
with a budgetary crisis, and that had to
be straightened out before we could
even think of publishing a newspaper.
The Journal was in the process of
moving its production facilities to the
campus; equipment had to be purchased,
and the use of facilities had to be
arranged. And, on top of this, were the
problems brought on by reorganizing the
Journal staff, and dealing with the everyday affairs of putting a newspaper
together.
We would like to thank all those who
helped to make it possibltl for the Journal to be published this spring. There is
not enough 11pace to name all of those
people here, but we would like to give
special mentjon to a few who were iBstrumental in seeing us through our

•

problems: AI Rose, Pete Steilberg, AI
Hanson, John Moss, Woody Hirzel, and
Connie Hubbard. These people have our
gratitude and thanks.

Grimaces
humiliate
To the Editor:
Now that I am a staff member of the
Cooper Point Journal I am often humiliated by the grimaces on the faces of
friends when they learn the news. Our
reputation is poor and in order to intelligently justify my defense of the Journal
I've done a lot of thinking about why.
Looking at back issues I see it; the same
names, the same problems, the same
lack of savvy.
It seems unlikely that we can be professionals, being too busy1as professional

students. Therefore we must make up
for it with representation.
I am amazed at the good story ideas I
hear daily which never go beyond ideas.
When a writing -workshop cohort of mine
said a paper I wrote was good enough to
be published I said "thanks" and shrugged it off. But later I reconsidered;
"Why not? It's good." And look at me
now, special editor no less!
What I'm really trying to say is I
abhor cliques. I want anyone and everyone to write for the Journal. I can't
promise to publish everything, but if we
have enough ads to pay for more pages
I'll do all I can.
"Give me your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses, yearning to be free ..."

To the Editor:
It has come to mind that we seem to
be in much the same predicament. Both
of us, as newspeople, are faced with a
lack of staff. The members of the Evergreen community do not seem to realize that neither the paper of yours nor
the news of KAOS Radio can continue
without the working support of a lot of
people. Everyone seems to imagine that
these things appear on their own without a lot of effort behind them. Of course
this is not the case and unless both
mediums get some tangible help in the
way of staff people, there might be no
news. So, I suppose you will do so for
yourself but I'd like to ask you to remind
your readers that KAOS Radio is still in
need of people who can devote a good
deal of their time to working on the
news.
Thank you and yours for better news.

Funds spent
To the Editor:
From my position as a member of the
Services and Activities (S&A) Board this
past year I've had a view of policy and
decision making enjoyed by few other
students here at Evergreen. What I
have seen has been both fascinating and
infuriating. One of my frustrations this
past year has been the lack of general
public insight into these processes. This
letter, hopefully, will alleviate some of
that frustration.
Perhaps I should begin with a general
background of S&A, what it is and what
it's been doing. To begin, S&A monies
are derived from fees paid by students,
$48.50 from each quarterly tuition payment for the first two quarters of this
year and $52.00 this ouarter. From these
monies many budgets are funded, budgets
very close to all students here at Evergreen. Some examples: the Bus System,
the Daycare Center, the Gig Commission, the Womens Center, outdoor equipment - the list is very long. In dollars
and cents it's a bit simpler.
At the start of fiscal year 73-7 4 there
was a total of $279,934 available for disbursement, revenue generated by student payment of S&A fees. In addition

April4, 1974

mer ter~ S&A payn\®t~. I~itially $5,658 · .
was deducted for the emergency loan
program and also $58,404··for CAB phase
II. Putting all this together we find that
there were $245,016 total operating
funds for this year. From this amount
then, comes the operating budgets of the
CAB and CRC also portfolios and ID
cards, this amounts to some $229,824.
The S&A board itself had $4,455 in
discretionary funds to spend over the
course of 73-74. This number is derived
from an initial allocation to the board of
$39,000, $7,459 from summer students
and $7,000 transferred from the CAB
phase II fund. This totals $53,459. Then,
last spring, last year's board worked out
the budgets for this year's S&A groups.
The total allocation came to $49,004 with
summer term allocations. Adding this
leaves the $4,455 spoken of.
All of this is a necessary preliminary
so that I can talk about some of those
frustrations I've been having this year.
This year many interesting, informative and exciting events have taken
place here at Evergreen. The Chile
Symposium, the Computer Film Festival,
Theatre/dance's production of MaratSade. Also many on-going, worth while
and in some cases necessary activities
have either been in progress or begun
this year. The Women's Center, the Film
Maker's Group, the new Coffee House
and the Daycare Center are representative examples.
In all cases these groups at one time
or another came to the S&A fees review
board and requested money to either begin and present to the school a new activity or to allow them to continue or
expand the service they provide our
community. To date, roughly $42,921 has
been requested. To meet this request
the S&A board began with the $4,455
supplemented by $15,192 gained by a
larger than anticipated enrollment for
winter quarter. These two amounts together come to $19,647. As you can see
there is quite a discrepancy here. What
this meant to the groups requesting our
support was that the majority were underfunded; in some cases this underfunding was very nearly critical.
What bothers me mainly about all of
this is that while the human needs of
this school have gone begging, quite literally, expenditure has continued mindlessly on development for future expansion. Expenditure totalling in excess of
$188,577. This is the amount spent to
date on development of .CAB phase II.

Yet no one person or group has done any
thinking about future expansion of this
school anQ. its,.<;onseq~el).~es.
.
. '
;, .. · ._(
Whether we want or need to continue
to grow, where our opttinum enrollment
level might be, what the cost to the
school would be in terms of an S&A bled
white to meet construction costs and rising interest and inflationary rates;
whether or not we are prepared to go
through all that.
After hearing this issue raised at a recent Sounding Board meeting, Dean Clabaugh, administrative vice president, has
since begun forming a DTF - though I
haven't heard what that DTF will be
specifically charged to do as yet. It is to
be hoped that the nebulosity surrounding this topic of growth planning will
begin to be diminished by some hard
thinking.
(All figures used herein are taken
direct from the minutes of the S&A
board and budget reports as prepared
for the board by John Moss, Director of
Auxilliary Services).

Journal
blindness
To the Editor:
. I have been amused by the CPJ since
its inception as "The Paper." Seldom informed, I found your efforts a constant
amaz(amus)ment. Through it all, you
have changed staffs as often as your underwear, the only constant being a
standard of journalism apparently based
on using the writer of greatest ignorance
for any given story. Eric Stones' review
of the film "American Graffiti" in his last
issue seemed to suggest that he was
adding to that standard a requirement of
blindness for anyone who covers the
arts.
I have just learned that you will be reorganizing your !ltaff under yet another
editor for the spring quarter. I hope that
he will take this opportunity to bring
certain minimal standards of literacy to
The Journal as I have found that the
public expects them even within the field
of yellow journalism.

Manson

Still

Missing

DONNA MANSON
A massive state-wide manhunt has
failed to turn up any clues to the
whereabouts of 19-year-old Donna Manson, missing since March 12. The 5-foot,
100-pound, brown-haired, Auburn resident was last reported seen between the
dorms and the Library on her way to an
Evergreen jazz concert. She was wearing blue slacks, a red, orange and black
blouse and a long, fuzzy, black maxi coat.

Manson's disappearance was reported
March 17, by a worried roommate. Since
then, College Security, the Thurston
Cm,mty Sheriffs Department and various
volunteer organizations have combined
forces in an effort to find the first-year
Evergreen student. A massive, 150-person, full-campus search was conducted
March 23. "The search will continue till
we find her," said Thurston County

Sheriff spokesman Paul Barclift.
Evergreen Security Lieutenant Gary
Russell said Manson disappeared under
suspicious circumstances. "She lacked
preparedness for a long journey," commented Russell. "A search of her room
showed no signs of her getting ready to
leave. Foul play is a possibility we're
certainly considering, though we are still
hopeful."
"We have very few leads," said Director of Security Rod Marrom. It is alleged
that a resident of Pe Ell, Washington
saw a woman fitting Manson's descrip·
tion in that area. The Lewis County
Sheriffs Office is investigating.
Persons with any information potentially pertinent to her disappearance strangers seen around TESC at the time
of the jazz concert, the name of someone
who may have seen her at the concert or
folk dancing (or at any time around
March 12, or since) - are urged to contact Evergreen security at 866-6140, or
the Thurston County Sheriffs Office at
357-8111.
A reward of 500 dollars is being offered by friends of Donna Manson for
positive information leading to her
whereabouts.
Manson, who is a 1972 graduate of
Auburn High School, attended one semester at Green River Community College, and then transferred to Evergreen
where she has been a member of the
P.O.R. T.A.L.S. coordinated studies program.

Dispute Arises Over
Contract Interpretation
BY TOM GRAHAM
Since the new Evergreen Faculty
Handbook came out late last quarter, a
great deal of controversy has centered
on page 47, which concerns faculty evaluation and reappointment. One section of
this page has been interpreted by some
faculty members as undermining the faculty three-year contract agreement; leaving the faculty to face yearly hiring and
job security.
"To my knowledge this statement was
never seen by any member of the faculty, students, or staff. Ed Kormondy
(Vice President and Provost) wrote it;
simply wrote it;"commented Ron Woodbury, member of the Faculty Forum.
6

"It is not a policy," Korinondy stated
in a separate interview. Kormondy, in
charge of academics, said he wrote page
47 as a cover statement to precede the
section on Academic F-reedom and submitted it to Academic Dean Rudy Martin
for review. "Rudy got caught short of
time and put the statement essentially
unedited in the document. And-ah, oh
well, that's the way we learn . . . I'm
pulling the knives out."
The Faculty Forum, an outlet for faculty views and opinions, recommended
March 13, that page 47 be replaced with
the policy statement on Academic Free. don used in previous Faculty Handbooks.

New TESCians
Approximately 110 new students,
migrating from as far away as Edinburgh, Scotland and near as Olympia, began registration and orientation on Monday, April 1. These students, let in off
the waiting list, do not appreciably raise
the total enrollment of around 2,200 students, since every spring a large number
of students leave, according to Admissions Director Ken Meyer.
In the Activities bldg. rm. 110, the
new students met with representatives
of Financial Aid, the Deans, Cooperative
Education, Academic Counseling, and
Housing.
The Input Resource Senter (IRS), a
group designed to get systematic feedback for the community, asked the students to fill out a questionnaire on Evergreen. From the questionnaire, the IRS
hopes to discover how most new students hear about the college, what their
first impressions are, and why they
chose to come here.
"It will be an especially difficult time
for these new students since it's spring
quarter," commented Piet Dobbins, a
member of IRS. "Most of the programs
have been going on for two quarters, so
their coming in now is like hopping on a
moving train."
Despite this problem, the questionnaire responses indicate that almost all
of the students were happy to be here.
A large number indicated that they came
to Evergreen to get away from what
some described as "phony" schools and
"bullshit." Many were also impressed
with the "intensity of study" here, as
well as the friendliness of college community members.
"If you see someone walking around
looking like they can't find the men's
room," a program secretary said, in
warning to her colleagues, "it's probably
one of the new students and you'd better
help them. They might be pretty lost for
a while."

TESC B.A.'s
More than 60 Evergreen students completed graduation requirements at the
end of Winter Quarter. Of the March
graduates, 18 were local residents from
April 4, 1974

Olympia and Lacey, 17 were from out of
state and the remainder were Washington State residents from cities as widely
separated as SpoRane and Neah Bay.
Over 350 students have earned Bachelor of Arts degrees at Evergreen since
the first year of operation. That number
will more than double when another estimated 450 students graduate at the
end of Spring Quarter. June 2, is the
tentative date set for spring graduation
ceremonies.
Evergreen seniors will have a good
chance to scout the job market situation
when the Financial Aid and Placement ,
Office sponsors a Job Information Day
on Wednesday, April 10, from 9 a.m. 'till
4 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Library.
A group of personnel officers, directors
and agency heads representing a wide
range of organizations, such as the National Park Service, Boeing, the Food
and Drug Administration, KING Broadcasting and several school districts, will
be available to talk with seniors. Those
interested in Job Information Day are
asked to register in Library rm. 1210 no
later than April 7.

~arianne Nelson has recently been appOinted to the position of director of development at The Evergreen State College. She is the only woman on the west
coast to hold such a position. The Deve.lopment Office is charged with the difficult task of soliciting funds for
The first job for the office is to get
volunteers. With the small number of
alumni, a usual source of such volunteers, the development staff has to look
elsewhere - to friends of thE> college,
parents of students, and to persons interested in innovative education.

_So far, the Evergreen office is working
w1th a newly established Corporations
Con:mittee, composed of Olympia-area
busmess persons who are enthusiastic
about the college. An alumni association
is being formed, plans are being made to
establish a parents' group, and Nelson
hopes to begin working more with foundations which support education.
Nelson, originally from Oregon, has
spent more than 13 years working with
higher education development programs.
She has worked for such institutions as a
Los Angeles consulting firm, Sarah Lawrence College, Vassar College, the University of Michigan and Stanford University. Nelson came to Evergreen from
Menlo Park, Calif., where she served as
associate director of development for
Menlo Park School and College.
Nelson, who said "I can't do this kind
of job unless I believe in the institution,"
apparently believes in EvPrgreen - she
recently purchased a home, and it looks
like she plans to stay.

Many at the college believe the success or failure of Evergreen's graduates
will determine the college's fate in the
legislature. During the 1973 legislative
session, Evergreen's budget request was
cut drastically - due in part to allegations by some politicians that students
were not receiving useful educations.
College administrators refuted this by
citing that most Evergreen graduates up
to that time had found employment or
had been accepted by graduate schools.
Projections for this year's graduates appear good, although statistics are still inconclusive.

Appointed
Evergreen from the private sector.
Evergreen, being a new institution with
an unusual educational format, and only
slightly over 350 alumni, poses quite a
challenge for Nelson. But these factors
will also enable her to create a whole
new system and try "entirely different
techniques."

"I find it repugnant that the Service
and Activities (S&A) Fees Review Board
has not only allowed, but actively encouraged some operations to secure
funding from two sources," wrote Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh in a memo dated April 2. The
· memorandum establishes a DTF and
charges its members with the task of
finding solutions for many of the problems related to Oollege Activities
Funding.
Also in the lengthy memo is a reference to S&A Board approval of "illegal
and unconstitutional" actions. According
to a board member this seems to refer to
the S&A Board request regarding funding for a Grateful Dead concert in Olympia.

Dean Clabaugh, (administrative vicepresident), in a memo dated April 1,
stated he is beginning his 1974 evaluation of those persons who report directly

Library change

The Library is trying to share its resources with all members of the Evergreen community. The basis for most of our operating procedures is to provide
the greatest accessibility to materials, equipment and people. In order to do this,
we need your help. Please answer the following question and drop it off at the
Information Center. Why do you or people you know "rip off' library materials?

The Evergreen Library is beginning
Spring Quarter with a new computerized
circulation system. Planned since last
September by Dale Baird from Computer Services and the library circulation staff, it will enable faster and more
accurate processing of circulation services.
Faculty, students and staff are now
advised to have I.D. cards when checking out materials. Punched cards in the
materials will be used to keep the computer informed of overdue or recalled
items. Therefore, notices and billings will
now be faster and more efficient.

College swap
Academic Dean Rudy Martin reports
Evergreen students, faculty members
and administrators may have an opportunity starting next fall to spend a quarter or more at other innovative colleges
across the country, while their counterparts replace them at Evergreen.
Martin, Evergreen's head of curriculum planning, says several experimental
institutions of higher learning - Johnston College at Redlands University, the
Center for the Study of Teaching and
Learning at the University of North
Dakota and Thomas Jefferson College in
Grand Forks, Michigan - have indicated
a serious interest in an exchange
program. "I think we're mature enough
now to be part of an exchange program,"
said Martin. Interested persons should
contact Martin in Science bldg. rm. 1012.

Report · card
Students currently receiving monthly
social security checks will soon get an
"attendance reporting card" in the mail.
According to Cortland Skinner, district
manager of the Social Security Administration, the cards should be returned as
soon as possible. "Delay in returning the
reporting card can mean a delay in
future social security payments," he said.
College students who have not earned
an undergraduate degree, can continue
to get their payments through the end of
the semester of the quarter year in
which they reach the age of 22. Full-time
students 18 and over who remain unmarried, can receive social security payments if a parent is currently receiving
social security or if a oarent who was
eligible is deceased. Further information

The Forum also called for a Disappearing Task Force (DTF) to conduct a critical review of the Faculty Handbook, especially of page 47. "It was not done
through a DTF," said Woodbury, speaking of the evaluation and reappointment
section, "and it was not approved by the
Board of Trustees, period. As far as my
understanding would be, that is an absolute violation of the COG Document, and
that is why we have asked to have it
removed."
Woodbury sees the Faculty Handbook
situation as another failure of the administration to be open in decision making.
"What we've done is openly give the
power to the administration. But the
only way, the only way that's going to
work is if there's a bend-over-backward
kind of openness in decision making."
Kormondy, in response to the Faculty
Forum, is preparing a DTF to review
the handbook with an eye on changes in
structure and organization, and to recommend policies or sections that might
need to be reconsidered.
Fortunately the Faculty Handbook appeared in loose leaf form for the first
time this year. The loose leaf form allows pages to be removed and replaced
as the need arises.

.Equivalency Disclaimers
BY WILLIAM HIRSHMAN
and STAN SHORE
"It seems rather hypocritical to fake
course names when we're really not
teaching anything like other colleges,"
said Evergreen faculty member Linda
Kahn, summ\ng up the attitude of many
of those opposed to course equivalencies.
"I think it's an incredibly stupid position," stated Merv Cadwallader, faculty
member and former dean, "if the faculty
can't figure out what their students are
doing in terms of course equivalencies ..
.. (their) refusal to use course equivalencies hurts one person and one person
only: the student."
Although these two statements on the
use of course equivalencies and disclaimers are recent, the controversy surrounding the issue is not. During the first
year of the school, according to Dean
Byron Youtz, it was generally decided,
after the urging of former Registrar
. Perrin Smith, that course equivalencies
should .be given for work done at Evergreen. Under this arrangement, which is
still used in most programs and contracts, a student's work is translated
into quarter-hour class subjects similar
to those a student at a more traditional
institution would take to cover the same
material. These equivalencies are written
at the bottom of a student's evaluation
and used when transferring as an ' undergraduate or seeking employment.

By the summer -of 1im:i some faculty
members including Carrolyn Dobbs and
Phil Harding were urging that course
equivalencies not be mandatory.
In what was intended to be a satirical
memorandum with "obvious and heavy
irony", Cadwallader, then dean in charge
of curriculum planning, from his summer
residence in Hvar, Yugoslavia on August
8, 1972, outlined what became the basis
for disclaimers. "There are some of 'us,"
he wrote, "who believe that we should
bend over backwards to make Evergreen's academic records comprehensible
to a harrassed registrar, dull-witted personnel officer or a befuddled dean of a
graduate school.
"There are others who believe that
Evergreen's programs just are not equivalent to anything out there and to suggest that they are is to be guilty of
heresy, popery, and other heinous
idealogical crimes ... My advice to all of
you is to dream up such equivalencies as
make sense ... (and) to persuade all of
the coordinated studies programs this
year (72-73) to translate for the sake of
the unwashed out there in the real
world.
"For those of you who really do believe that your students' work cannot or
should not be described as t:oughly equivalent to anything conventional, I have a
disclaimer statement that is to be explained to your students during the first
week of instruction. Eventually a copy of
the disclaimer signed by both you and
your student is to be filed in the student's portfolio in lieu of an equivalency
statement," he concluded.
Tongue-in-cheek

"I wrote the God-damned thing tonguein-cheek," Cadwallader explained recently, speaking about the di~;"claimer
form. "My own notion was that the
whole thing of disclaimers would seem so
absurd that no faculty member would
take it seriously."
Cadwallader, who was obviously chagrined by the growing use of disclaimers
at the college, also stated that if he could
do it over again he would not have made
up the disclaimer form.
The Disclaimer Statement, which is
still used, reads in part:
"This offering was designed as a
unique learning experience and the students enrolled in it understood that this
Evergreen credit may not apply in any

BYRON YOUTZ
(Photo by U shakoff)
way or be accepted in lieu of any requirements should they transfer as an
undergraduate or seek admission to a
graduate or professional school.
"The undersigned coordinator generously agreed to carry on all necessary
correspondence with admissions officers,
registrars, graduate committees, or employers about the content of this program."
Despite this sarcasm and the presence
of what Cadwallader described as his
"irrepressible wit," in the '72-'73 academic year at least three programs or group
contracts decided to use the form. Included were the coordinated studies
Image and Idea, and Learning about
Learning and the Group contract Environmental Design. A number of individual contract sponsors including Jose
Arguelles and Will Humphreys also used
the form, while one program, Life on
Earth, made up their own form.·
"We didn't use the official disclaimer
form," said Linda Kahn, faculty member
of 1972-73 program Life on Earth where
disclaimers were mandatory, "Merv Cadwallader wrote his form as a joke, so we
designed our owr.. I don't believe what's
taught in a coordinated studies can
really be translated into standard course
equiva.lencies." Other faculty that year,
including Kirk Thompson of Image and
Idea, and Phil Harding of Environmental
Design also reacted negatively to course
equivalencies.
Cooper Point Journal

"Students who come to Evergreen
come here because it is different, a socalled "experimental school," said Harding, presently a faculty member of Form
and Function. "And students who come
here take risks - the risk of winning or
losing when involved in an experiment."
Both Kahn and Harding base their acceptance of disclaimers on the feeling
that an Evergreen education is so different from other schools, that the interdisciplinary work cannot be translated
into course equivalencies. "By dealing
with wholes," said Harding on what he
called a synergy theory, "you'll create
something greater than its parts ... and
that's what will make Evergreen greater
than other schools." He also explained
that coordinated studies, being a unified
whole, cannot be divided into component
parts (i.e. course equivalencies) without
misrepresentation.
Employment problems
According to Gail Martin of Financial
Aid and Placement, disclaimers have
caused employment difficulties for some
Evergreen graduates. "Sometimes students are disqualified from jobs," said
Martin. "Especially civil service jobs.
"Take urban planning for instance.
Most urban planning jobs are civil service, since the employer will be the
county or the state. If they don't have
the course equivalencies, then they're
automatically disqualified from the job."
Martin explained that most job-seeking
is not done by portfolio but rather by
credential file, a file which includes
course equivalencies translated in terms
of quarter-hours per subject - unless a

PHIL HARDING
(Photo by Whitmire)
disclaimer has been signed by the student. If a disclaimer has been signed,
then approximate course content is listed
in lieu of actual equivalencies. Unfortunately these approximations cannot be
assigned specific quarter-hour times,
which is necessary for some jobs.
"Now I appreciate the argument
against quantifying the work a student
does," Martin concluded, "most ·students
don't get fouled up by the equivalency
disclaimers. Still, I guess I feel that they
shouldn't let it screw up anyone."
The implications of these employment
difficulties and other problems caused by
the disclaimers are compounded by the
lack of explanation presented to a student requested to sign. There have even
been cases where a faculty member has

"I wrote students' names in on the credit equivalency disclaimers," admitted a
faculty member who preferred his name not be used, "but it was summer and I
had to get those disclaimers turned in or I wouldn't get paid."
The faculty member also explained that all of the students whose signatures
'
he forged knew that the disclaimers, were required.
Still, at least two students involved have complained about the procedure. One
student, who later decided that he wanted course equivalencies, went back to
the faculty member and had them made out.
Another student involved, didn't even realize that his name had been forged
on the disclaimer or that the disclaimer even existed, until this year when he
was looking through his portfolio. He maintained that he had never been told
what disclaimers were for. The student also said he was sure that he hadn't
signed the form, since on the date of signature he had been on the top of Mount
Rainier.
Although this and another instance of alleged forgery which the Provost .and
:Registrar are investigating seem to be rare occurrences, there are other VIolations of policy involved which are not: the eredit disclaimers were not signed at
the beginning of the term, and not all of the .students were fully informed about
what a credit disclaimer entails.
Merv Cadwallader, a faculty member in Democracy and Tyranny, who as a
dean last year wrote the official policy on disclaimers stated, "I shudder to think
about it," when asked about faculty forging a student's signature on the document. "The policy was designed and the form written so that the faculty
member had to make it crystal clear to the student just what he was signing
away."

forged the student's signature (see box),
although this is not common. This year
the coordinated studies program Form
and Function made up its own disclaimer
statement and strongly urged all of the
students to sign it. Other individual contract faculty, including Dave Hitchens
and Chuck Nesbit, have been using disclaimers. Some students have complained
of signing the forms without really having understood them.
Administration response
Following in Cadwallader's footsteps,
all of the deans contacted were skeptical
about the disclaimers.
"I find it very hard to imagine a situation in which the nature of the work is
so sacrosanct that we can't translate it
into equivalencies," Dean Byron Youtz
explained.
Lynn Patterson, another academic
dean, stated, "it's incumbent upon the
faculty to counsel the students individ·
ually so that the far-reaching effects of
signing a disclaimer are understood. It is
not something that should be taken
lightly."
Dean Rudy Martin said, "The whole
thing has been a pain in the ass . . . I
don't know of a single method by which
faculty are inaugurated into the mysteries of a disclaimer." He also pointed out
that no college-wide policy on the disclaimers has ever been formulated.

TESC could learn
from Fairhaven's "Bridge"
BY CLAUDIA BROWN
An experiment called "The Bridge" at
Fairhaven College, a cluster college of
Western Washington State College, similar to Evergreen, has been receiving
enormous publicity lately - and with
good reason.
The Bridge program, begun last
winter, seeks to establish a multi-generational, living-learning situation in a college environment.
Fairhaven's Dean Kenneth Freeman
originated the idea when most educational institutions were having difficulty
keeping residence halls filled. With the
help of a grant from the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare (HEW)
The Bridge has changed Fairhaven from
a "youth ghetto" to a community encompassing four generations.
The Bridge consists of three programs:
a day care center, a middle-age recruitment program and a senior citizen program.
- The day care center is currently
providing child-care services for the faculty, students and staff of Fairhaven.
- The middle-age recruitment program is now in the organizational stages.

Bridgers

This program is having problems finding
prospective students. Those of this .age
group who are interested often have inflexible commitments such as jobs and
children, making it difficult for them to
come to Fairhaven.
- The senior citizen program is receiving the most publicity due to its
uniqueness and success. It is a residential program involving 32 persons ranging from age 55 to 82.
Although it is not required, the majority of these persons are auditing classes,
and several are working for degrees.
The office of Lenore Noble Western,
director of the program, is receiving applications from all over the United
States and has a waiting list of approximately 60 people. Mrs. Western organized 15 senior citizen clubs before taking
on the challenge of The Bridge.
The success of The Bridge is its community spirit. All participants agree that
members of one generation can provide a
rich re~ource to those of another within
the common bonds of education.
Sitting in Fairhaven's sunny plaza, one
can see the "senior wizards" as they
have been nicknamed, playing with the
pre-schoolers of the day care center. Kid
power and senior power buttons abound
. . . as do smiles. Fairhaven students,
young and old, are proud of this experiment and never tire of talking about it.
Allen Heggam is no exception. This
bright-eyed and energetic septuagenarian talked about the circumstances that
brought him and his wife, Alice, to Fairhaven.

and Fairhaven students enjoy a congenHeggam was a farmer in Ferndale, a
rural town north of Bellingham. Alice
Heggam attended Washington Normal
School (WWSC) and is a teacher. The
Heggams lived in California for several
years and, after retiring, settled in Nogales, Ariz. When the Heggams learned
of The Bridge they decided to return to
the Northwest so that Mrs. Heggam
could finish her formal education. She
expects to be awarded her teaching degree in June.
Mr. Heggam helps with the community
garden and generally enjoys himself.
With a sly grin, he said he wants to
start a class called Techniques of
Mischief. About his new home at Fairhaven he says, "the kids are great . . .
There are always some scoundrels but
that's beside the point. We're going to
stay!"
The Bridge seems to be an overwhelming success, and could rapidly become a
model for other educational institutions.
It is expected that the HEW grant will
be renewed and the program may expand next year.
The Bridge is a return to a type of
community that provides a useful and
productive place for all. In an era in
'which our society is segmented - thus
alienating many groups - The Bridge
stands out as an example in humanity.
The elderly have long been such an
alienated group. Their wisdom and experience can be put to use instead of
shuffled off to the side. Programs such
as The Bridge could work well within
many institutions, Evergreen included.

test:

BY DEAN KATZ

(The following story is based upon a
real incident. Only the names have been
changed, since the conversation is paraphrased and the author does not want to
be sued for libel.)
"Hello Mr. Katz. My name is William
Parry, and I'm with the Department of
Defense Investigative Unit. I'd like to
ask you a few questions about Diane
C
. Ms. C
has applied for a job
with the Navy, and she needs a security
clearance. Now, I'm not exactly sure
what she's going to be doing, so I'd just
like to ask you a few questions about
Diane's background.
Parry was about five-foot four, a
sldnny Uttle JUY. He fit my preconceived
notion of what a Defense Department
thug might look Uke. He bad beady eyes
that were bard to respond to. Not
beeause they were partieularly Intimidating, but beeause I eould never make
eontaet with them. Parry avoided a
direet visual eonfrontation with me
during the entire Interview.
As the questions began, I felt a conDiet arising in me. Here was a little goon
of the establishment running around
with his briefcase and overcoat, collecting information on potential candidates
for IMPORTANT U.S. DEFENSE JOBS.
God, I thought, if they even ask me, a
mere college student, what I .thought,
they must really be hard up for information; information of any kind.
Was answering the questions a responsibility I had as an American citizen?
Should my beliefs as a non-supporter of
the 'Military Establishment prohibit me
from participating in their game of Tell
On Your Neighbor For The Good Of The
Country? If I didn't answer the questions, would I be restricting Ms. C
's
right to satisfy the government in that
fashion? Just when were my values compromised?
The interview began slowly, with Mr.
Parry searching for words with which he
could correctly characterize his questions. The apparent nervousness he displayed impressed me as a psychological
tactic he must have learned in training.
Couldn't I just volunteer a few answers
for the poor man, he can't even ask intt'lligent questions?
lti

No sympathy
No, I thought, I'll let him suffer. He
got himself into this interview, and he'll
have to get himself out. Parry squirmed
in his chair, obviously aware of my absolute and total disdain for him. I offered
him no sympathy.
"Now, Mr. Katz, Diane listed KAOS
Radio as a place of employment while
she lived in Olympia. Is that correct?"
"Yes."
"And is it also correct that during that
time, you were employed at KAOS too?"
"Yes."
"Did Ms. C
ever display any characteristics which might lead you to believe she was mentally unstable or prone
to any particularly bad moral habits?"
"Well ... no, not that I can think of."

"What exactly did Diane do while she
worked at KAOS?"
"Not much actually. She had a classical
music show at six o'clock in the morning."
"Did she ever do anything that would
lead you to believe she might not be able
to handle a security job for the U.S.
government'?"
"No."

The anger in me was rising. Not so
much becaull'e I was being asked the
questions, but more because I was answering them. It felt wrong to respond.
Inside, my gut told me I was bending to
the pressure of some defense goon trying to get a peek at Ms. C
's mental
and moral cleavage.

"Now then, Mr. Katz, when did you first get this idea that your government was·o~~rly
sensitive?"
(.;ooper Point Journal

''Mr. Katz, was Diane ever pa
or subversive group advocating revo tion
or overthro\v of the U.S. governn1ent?"

Continued from page 16
The questions continued much in the
same vein for another five minutes. I
told Parry that I didn't really know
Diane all that well, but she had always
impressed me as a conscientious, hard
working, honest woman. Then, the
question he had been waiting to ask
came creeping around the corner. I had
been expecting it.
"Mr. Katz, did Diane ever give you
reason to think she was part of a radical
or subversive group advocating revolution or the overthrow of the U.S. government?"
"Mr. Parry, if you're asking me if she
is an American, I can tell you right now,
SHE IS AN AMERICAN."

I kept wondering what Parry was
thinking about asking a long hair, with
obvious left leanings, all these questions.
I wondered what Parry knew about me.
Had he checked up on me too? I soon
found out.
"Now Mr. Katz, did Ms. C
ever say
or do anything to suggest that she was a
Communist?"
"No. She was clean cut, if you know
what I mean. She was pretty straight
you know, and she always read the Associated Press news in the morning
without a bias or slant to it."
I answered the rest of the questions in
much the same manner; briefly and
tersely, but as a good American should;
truthfully and to the best of my ability
(or is it recollection).
Mr. Parry rose, thanked me for my co-

Review of disclaimer urged
In researching and writing the article
on
Disclaimers, we have formed
some opinions on what Dean Rudy Martin describes as this "pain in the ass."
It seems obvious that the use of dis·
claimers has gone far beyond what the
original policy intended. There also has
been too little discussion between students and faculty of what the students
were signing, including the extreme case
when signatures were forged.
Our r.ecommendation is that a DTF be
formed to study these questions:
1. Are there any instances in which
disclaimers should be used, and if so,
under what specific circumstances?
2. If disclaimer use continues, and
since Cadwallader's form was facetious,
should a new form be devised?

April 4, 1974

opflration, and assured me that everything I had said would be held in strictest confidence. Thank God for that, I
sure wouldn't want anyone to know what
I had said.
As I escorted Parry to the door, he
casually asked mt' when I was going to
get my own byline. (I work for the
Seattle P-I as a researcher.) I answered
him with some thoughtless comment, but
inside I had a hot-cold flash. Why in the
hell should he know whether I had my
own byline? What business of it was his
anyway? I began to wonder what Parry
knew about me before we ever met.
Parry left, and I sat down to think
over my encounter with him. I felt
terrible inside, much as I would imagine
a woman feels after she's been raped:
frustrated, angry and bitter.
Well ... next time fll know better.

3. In cases where student or faculty
member feels he has signed a disclaimer
without fully understanding it, what
procedure will be used to review the
situation and modi{y it if needed?
In the interim, while the task force is
working on the problem, we suggest that
either the deans or the Provost step in
and put a temporary ban on the use of
disclaimers. This is in no way to suggest
that we feel that disclaimers should be
banned permanently, but only that the
situation as it now stands is so out of
control that their use should be discontinued until a DTF submits a full and
consistent policy on disclaimer usage.

Faculty member Will Humphreys
thought that a compromise could be
worked out. "I can only think of them
being used in extremely rare cases," he
said, referring to the disclaimers. "The
effect that an equivalency disclaimer
would have on another college registrar
would be to imply that the work was
substandard . . . Instead, I think the
broadly defined subject areas should be
listed on the transcript and then in the
evaluation itself; specific work should be
detailed."
Academic Vice President and Provost
Ed Kormondy stated, "I have very grave
feelings about a faculty member who refuses to give course equivalencies." He
said he feels that a system of no course
equivalencies would hurt students' attempts to transfer.
"Asking a freshman or sophomore to
sign a credit equivalency disclaimer is a
little bit unfair," Kormondy concluded,
"and I feel pretty strongly about this."
Meanwhile President Charles McCann
explained a more moderate view. "I
don't feel strongly about this," he said,
"as long as everyone understands its implications and as long as it's not causing
headaches in a great many cases."
In summary, Merv Cadwallader stated,
"When the school was starting up a lot
of decisions were made to just let things
run as an experiment to see how they
worked. Disclaimers sort of fit into that
category. Now would be the time to
have a DTF review the whole thing."
Linda Kahn ueld a diff~rent view.
"Students who aren't comfortable with
disclaimers," she suggested, "should go
to the University of Washington to get
their course equivalencies."

Movie Buckles Swash
The Three Musketeers is either a
thrilling comedy or a very funny melodrama. It blends hilarious slapstick with
exciting sword fights, and surprisingly
enough the result is director Richard
Lester's finest film yet.
With brilliant cinematic skill and a
high-spirited sense of humor, the film is
by turns joyful, serious, satiric, and suspenseful. It was obviously carefully
made, but paradoxically the spontaneity
and roughhouse atmosphere are its most
delightful characteristics. The extraordinarily well-choreographed sword fights
are especially pleasant to watch because
of David Watkins' fine cinematography.
The musketeers - Oliver Reed, Frank
Finlay,Richard Chamberlain, and Michael
York as D'Artagnan, careen through the
movie, swashbuckling all the way. Their
heroism is shown to be ridiculous in light
of the ignorant and insensitive royalty
they would gladly die for, but their .
absurd ideals make them real and human
and the audience cheers for them as they
tangle with villainy, represented by
Faye Dunaway as a rotten princess and
Charlton Heston as Cardinal Richelieu.
Raquel Welch gets thrown downstairs
and knocked around a bit, much to everyone's delight.

Immediately following the obligatory
happy ending, a sequel to The Three
Musketeers is announced, and a short
teaser full of action scenes follows. Apparently, after the movie was completed
the producers got greedy and cut it in
half, subtitling this part The Queen's
Diamond, and the next part The "Revenge of Milady. From the looks of the
preview scenes, and on the promise of
this happy movie, it will be a movie
worth waiting for.

FRIDAY FILM
Ever since Woody Allen's Broadway
play, Play It Again, Sam, was turned
into a movie (1972) I've been waiting for
the obvious double bill: Play It Again,
Sam and Casablanca. It has finally happened. The Friday Night Film Series will
bring us both the Bogart original and Allen's evocation of the film.
Casablanca is probably the most
famous of the films done at the peak of
Bogart's career. It ranks with The
Maltese Falcon in defining the character

that was to be Bogie; the . tough, hard,
sometimes cruel figure whose ultimate
goodness would shine through, as long as
he wasn't played for a sap.
In Play It Again, Sam, Allen appears
as Allen Felix, 29-year-old writer for a
film weekly. A cute (though hardly sexy)
neurotic, he wants nothing more than to
be like Bogart. As he strikes out with
one girl after another, he imagines the
ghost of Bogart
advising him,
urging and chiding him. Finally
in the end - but
that would be
telling - know
simply that the
film opens with
Allen
watching
the end of Casablanca and closes with
him acting it out (with Diane Keaton
playing Ingrid Bergman).
When Play It Again, Sam was first
run it opened to, at best, mixed reviews.
Many critics felt that the film lacked the
manic-genius of the films that Allen directed as well as starred in. This line of
criticism has some validity, but the payoff with Sam is in balance. The works in
which Allen has had complete control, directing as well as writing and starring,
have tended to be uneven. Herbert
Ross's directing has perhaps put a
damper on Allen's genius but has also
served up a more polished and complete
product than Allen's early independent
works such as Take The Money and Run.
However, it will be interesting to see
how Ross's loose and breezy style with
Play It Again, Sam will stack up against
the tightness of Michael Curtiz's directing of Casablanca.
One of the questions which the doublebill will undoubtedly raise is the question
of the values portrayed by Bogart in the
40's, their ultimate worth then, and their
place in the 70's. While there is much
that is appealing about the forceful masculinity that is much of who Bogart was
in the movies, I have serious doubts
about how far one could get with lines
like "I never met a woman who didn't
understand a slap in the mouth or a slug
from a .45."
As one begins to weigh the values portrayed in the 1940's and wonder about
their applicability to the 1970's, another
double-bill suggests itself. Two films
based on Raymond Chandler's detective
novels about Philip Marlow, The Big
Sleep, another Bogart, with Robert Altman's new film, The Long Goodbye, in
which Elliott Gould plays Marlow would make a delightful double-bill. The
Big Sleep is one of Bogart's best. The
Long Goodbye takes the same character
and drops him in the midst of the 70's
with mildly disconcerting effects.
