After 3 years, Evergreen is eligible for
formal accreditation. (See story on page
10.) Monday noon, while others from the
visiting accreditation team had lunch with
various faculty and students, Chairperson
Father Paul Waldschmidt remained in the
Board Room to consolidate his notes of
the morning.
"I have a reserve, so I can do without
lunch," joked the portly University of
Portland president.
Father Waldschmidt evinced curiosity
about Evergreen's relations with the legislature, the efficacy of its interdisciplinary
approach in learning science and mathematics, the type of student the school attracts, and how students choose a course
of study.
Father Waldschmidt had more questions
than conclusions, but his comments reflected his familiarity with the workings
of small schools.
"Because of the enrollment freeze, this
school is not operating to capacity. Only
30 per cent of your budget is used for instructional purposes; with your present
facilities and staff, and with the addition
of more faculty, this school could easily

accommodate 4000 students. It's an intriguing problem: trying to maintain momentum, but not get too institutionalized."
Skov scores
The Red Bull Restaurant at South
Sound Center was the scene of Saturday's
Thurston County Democratic Convention. After a nominating speech by
faculty member Pete Sinclair, Neils Skov,
coordinator of the Man and Nature program, was chosen one of 26 delegates to
the state convention.
'We'll be meeting for an organizational
meeting on the 6th of May," Skov commented. "If I had my rathers, I'd like to
be in the platform committee."
Skov expressed gratification at student
participation in local politics, and added,
"Since traditionally the academic community has had the second largest representation in Congress, it's a shame that
more faculty don't participate."
This was Skov's first Washington convention. "I didn't go last year, I was too
busy organizing myself at Evergreen."
Another delegate chosen was Evergreen
graduate Dwayne Slate, clerk and re-

searcher for the Houst: Education Committee and head of the Thurston County
McGovern Organization. Brian Murphy,
Evergreen sophomore, was a nominee,
but fell somewhat short of the required
number of votes.
Robin Hess, county chairman, termed
the delegation "tremendous. I was amazed
and gratified Saturday that we got quite a
representative slate, with a wide range of
liberal, moderate and conservative delegates. Unfortunately, non-whites were not
represented because they were not involved at the precinct level, and the closest we got to delegates from low-income
groups were students. The platform is
really forward-looking and says some significant things." The platform includes
planks advocating amnesty for draft-resisters in exile.
The delegation will travel to the state
convention June 29th in the Tri-Cities;
the legislative district convention will
meet there on the 30th. Delegates to the
national convention will be chosen from
both meetings.

Taking sides
To the Editor:
Last Friday's film, Memories of Underdevelopment, offered a lesson to all of us;
its relevance was not merely as a film
about Cuba, but about us as well.
Sergio was the epitome of an intelligent
bourgeois who realized that he was a part
of a dying social order - that a new
order was being born without him. Frozen
in his static conception of reality, he was
unable to join the slowly evolving socialist society, nor did he want to oppose it.
As his girl friend Elena said, he was
neither a revolutionary nor a counterrevolutionarY - he was nothing. He was a
spectator to his own life. While realizing
that he had never been in control of his
own life in capitalist Cuba, he cbuld offer
nothing more to change his situation than
an impotent cynicism about the dying order and equivalent cynicism about the
new. Incapable of choosing sides, he
sought refuge and meaning in his life
thrJugh sexual fantasies and affairs.
4

Yet even here he could find no salvation. Perceiving human beings as mere
objects, he was unable to humanly relate
to the "slovenly Cuban girls" withouc acculturating them to his bourgeois standards of "good· taste" and "dignity." He
leaves Elena ringing his doorbell while he
fondles a picture of Venus - the perfect
woman whom he sought: the would-be
solution to his meaningless life.
As the film showed, he was unable to
find any meaning. Sergio, the creation of
a capitalist society (as are we), sought
only an individual solution to a social
problem: unsatisfying human relationships, alienation from oneself, emptiness
and despair. Because his life in capitalist
Cuba had been meaningless and absurd,
and because he was unable to change,
Sergio assumed that life was in essence
absurd. His vision could not transcend life
as it had always been for him. He turns
off the television news showing oppression in the U.S. - the oppression he once
saw in Cuba. In the end, disgusted with
everything, he smashes a glass knickknack (the sort of fancy schlock with
which every bourgeois home is cluttered)
and passively looks out his window over
the city where a new world is being
created.

Undoubtedly, Cuban audiences perceived the film very differently than did
most of my peers with whom I spoke. To
Cubans, the film was probably a sort of
tragicomedy. It was a memory of their
own mental underdevelopment in capitalist Cuba when they, like Sergio, could not
see beyond their immediate condition;
when they, like Sergio, assumed that life
was meaningless because life in a capitalist society was meaningless. When Sergio's friend who is leaving for Miami
states that he is leaving with a clean conscience because he didn't participate in
"politics" one can only laugh. Elena
claims to know nothing of politics when
asked, "Who smells worse - Russians or
Americans?" Sergio knows only that
Cuba is "underdeveloped" and that he is
miserable, though he doesn't know why.
He fails to make the connection between
his own life experience (a lifetime of capitalist society in which human beings are
means rather than ends in themselves, and
in which one's life activity is sold to those
who own the material basis of the society.
Sergio sold himself wholly; he considered
himself to be European and was totally
alienated from his own people.) and his
consciousness. Searching for a personal
answer, Sergio cou)c; •·. >t recognize that
Cooo.1er Point Journal

his dilemma was due to his "apolitical"
conception of reality.
As Jacques Roux said in the final line of
Marat Sade, "When will you learn to take
sides?"

Book swaps
To the Editor:
Since the TESC bookstore does not buy
back used books, I would like to suggest
that book-swaps be organized to take
place at the beginning of each quarter
where books can be bought, sold or
traded. It would be a money-saving way
to recycle books, especially texts, which
program members normally must buy
new, use a short time and then never
open again. Organization would be easy
- not much more than deciding the time
and location, and announcing it. Anyone
interested?

Jeering
childish?
To the Editor:
Until the Friday Nite Film Series
showing of The Girls I had been at a loss
to understand fully the causes of the irritation I felt at the people who hissed at
the sexist portions of the movies shown
on campus. 1 knew that part of my annoyance stemmed from a contempt for
anyone foolish enough to hold moviemakers of the past responsible for the
subtle sexism they portray; they are
merely reflecting the attitudes of the
times.
But as I sat in the dark of Lecture Hall
1 viewing a contemporary film dealing
with sexism, the hissing and cheering I
heard at the sexist and anti-sexist portions
reminded me of nothing so much as the
childish shouting of little kids expressing
their sentiments at a western when the
good guys were variously winning or
losing. At that moment I realized that the
aggravation I felt resulted from being associated with an audience that responded
so childishly to a movement they claim to
feel strongly about. It is very easy for
children, in the anonymity of a dark
theatre, to express their emotions.
But perhaps one of the reasons children
hiss at the bad guys in movies is so that
the younger children will learn who the
bad guys are. I wonder.

The telephone rang when I paid for my
dry cleaning bill. The expression on the
clerk's face made me linger. I saw shock
at first, then she calmly said, "''d like to
listen to more of your filth but I am busy
with a customer." She hung up.
"An obscene phone call," she remarked,
turning to face me. It was four o'clock in
the afternoon. School is out at that time
and parents not home from work yet.
"A high school youngster?" I asked.
"He could have been, now that I think
of it," she replied.
I quoted a few of the devil's phrases
spoken by the possessed young woman in
The Exorcist, and the clerk confirmed that
those words were used in the call.
I read William Blatty's book. I refuse to
see the movie. The author claims that his
story is based on an authentic case in
which a boy was the victim of satanic
possession. Why then did he center his
plot around a girl? Wouldn't it have been
closer to home if he had applied his extensive vocabulary to the male phallus?
The answer is obvious. The obscene language relating to the penis is not as shocking as the filth concerning the clitoris. The
female sex organs enabled Blatty to wallow in fertile ground.
Furthermore, there is the danger that a
substantial number of readers, or ticket
buyers at the box office, might have been
lost if the crucifix had torn and bloodied
the pride of every male.
Lastly, how unthinkable if women, inspired by The Exorcist would start to employ the telephone to bother men with
obscene phone calls.
Unthinkable indeed!
Louise Batson

Lending bodies
To the Editor:
Things . . . have been known to
happen. People have looked inside themselves (dreaming of conquered citadels)
found silence and said hello (hello).
On this planet one of many names that
have been associated with that looking in
is religion.
<
Things seem to irrevocably change over
the ages.
Something is going on.
Some think there is an ideal to progress
towards. Others think of universal perfection extending into every corner of the
past, present and future. Others think
that there's not really very much to think
about. Maybe we could agree. Maybe we
could share our knowledge and if there is

a distance to be traveled maybe our collective efforts will be greater and take us
farther than the sum of our separate efforts; it seems at least we could find out.
"Don't look at me with your shoes on
your head," she said, she said, '"cause I'm
buying a ticket to Bermuda - you can't
see the cherries until you're in the tree."
What all this is leading up to is that
here on campus we have a room where
people of various persuasions can go to
set up shop and pat themselves on the
back or else communicate with others, if
they want. It's called the Faith Center for
lack of anything more mundane (room
2212 of the Library).
Anyone of any faith or non-faith is welcome: atheists, christians, argonauts, satanists, rocket launchers, hang gliders,
etc . . . . We try to keep it in the context
of evolutionary genesis.
Right now we have a lending library
and a few lending bodies (hard to find).
This could become more of a live information dissemination space than it is
now. Books are nice but people can chew
your gum for you.
If anyone is at all interested in pushing
their particular trip or else just being there
for worlds to collide with, go on up and
take over. Or if you want more nonsense
(or known sense), call me at 866-3794.
The room is small, the space is large
and there's no limit on what can be done
inside.
John Adams

Trilliums and
trees
To the Editor:
As John's brother would say, "it's Ironical" that here at Evergreen a mild furor
would erupt from those trillium-picking
pluckers. Not only letters to the editor,
but phantom notes on tables and bad vibrations from trillium lovers?
When our school continues to consume
reams and reams upon rolls upon reams
of paper. Five to six dumpster loads a
day, tons monthly. The overwhelming
majority of which is regurgitated into the
community as institutional spittle of a
waste economy. Paper which is made
from the Douglas fir whose life span is
"seriously impaired," not for seven years
like a trillium, but for 25 to a 100 years.
(Like a human).
It would be a positive step, here at a
school proud of its communications tools,
equipment and expertise, to stop our
blind consumption of paper, and communicate among ourselves in a fashion
that is honest, economical, and in keeping
with the Evergreen holistic philosophy.

Dean selection difficult
BY STAN SHORE
Of the thirteen .faculty members nominated to serve a three year term as academic dean, all but Willie Parson and
Mary Hillaire have declined. Parson, who
was nominated to be dean last year, has
accepted his nomination and is in the
process of putting together a Personal
Qualification File, which will be open for
public scrutiny in the Library. As of
Wednesday May 1 Mary Hillaire has not
decided whether to seek the deanship.
The dean, when chosen, wilf replace
Byron Youtz as counsel in the Natural
Sciences and be responsible for overseeing
the planning of Phase Two of the Science
building. For this reason the charge to the
Dean Selection DTF, headed by Richard
Alexander, states that the person selected
should be knowledgeable in the natural
sciences.
'There is a great deal more than simply
having a familiarity with the Natural
Sciences," Alexander explained, "A great
deal more than familiarity is required."
Parson's main field of study is biology
and Hillaire's is sociology. This has led
many people to speculate that Hillaire
would not be qualified for the job ~ven if
she decided to accept. Alexander stressed
that the Dean Selection DTF itself did not
see fit to judge anyone's qualifications until a full qualifications file had been
assembled.
Why not be a dean
Larry Eickstaedt, Betty Estes, Bert Guttman, Steve Herman, Linda Kahan, Rob
Knapp, Betty Kutter, Chuck Nisbet, Niels
Skov, Bob Sluss and AI Wiedemann all
declined their nominatiQns to the deanship. 'There's a lot of reasons why folks
are reticent to have their names left in the
pot," speculated Dean Rudy Martin, "One
is that people are starting to make plans
for next year. For example Bob Sluss who
was nominated is going on sabbatical next
year. Hell, if I were Sluss I wouldn't stay
and be dean, either. Some other folks,
like Rob Knapp for instance, have a coordinated studies that they want to coordinate.''·
In partial answer to this problem, according to Alexander, future dean nominations and selection will be done much
earlier in the year.
There are also problems· in the nature
of the job itself that might make people
reluctant to take it.
As Martin explained, "It's an ass-busting
job. It's an ambiguous, fragmenting kind
of job. You wind up being pulled in a
hundred different directions. Another
rea!'on (why people might not want the
job) is that you take a lot of flack. In a
~

community like this one where everybody
is a part of everything all the time, you
know, it's hard for an administrator to
say 'Good Morning' without somebody
saying, 'Who are your sources? Have you
talked to the community?'"
Dean Lynn Patterson agreed that a lot
of people simply don't want to be in "the
center of the cyclone" so shy away from
the job.
She further explained, "What's frustrating about the job is that individually we
(the deans) don't have a lot of decisionmaking power. On one hand I'm responsible for a decision but on the other hand
I'm only a part of the process. If, in the
case of faulty hiring for instance, (which
Patterson was in charge of) you want to
know why so and so wasn't hired, I can't
give you a full answer - often I'm only
representing the faculty. When I make a
decision myself, it feels good. But it
doesn't happen that often."
Incentives
A number of ways have been suggested
to get faculty to want to become deans,
according to Patterson. These include
paying larger salaries, giving the deans
some sort of paid leave after their term,
and taking away a lot of the busy paper
work that a dean is required to do.
Both Martin and Patterson rejected the
increased salary. A dean is paid on the
exact same salary schedule as they were
when they were only a faculty member,
except that they are also paid for the two
summer months they work. Patterson disliked the salary increase idea on the
grounds that going back to a lower salary

LYNN PATTERSON

when they rotate out of the deanship
might be psychologically harrowing.
In conclusion Martin summed up his
feelings about the job and the rotation
policy. "''d much rather teach," he said,
"''d much rather teach. I'm better at it. I
understand it better. I get more excited
about it. It matters tq me more. There's
no comparison for me. But . . . for the
rotation policy to work - and I think it's
a good policy - folks who want to teach
are gonna have to do a dean's job for a
couple of years."

Enrollment short
The Evergreen State College is presently
short 300 to 400 students that are needed
to meet next fall's projected enrollment of
2,250, according to Ken Mayer, director
of admissions.
But before you call back east or to California to tell your friends at home to apply quickly while there's room, consider
one. more fact: No more out-of-state students can be admitted for next fall. The
legislature has strongly suggested that
Evergreen not go beyond its present nonresident enrollment of 25 percent.
"The out of state student pays only
one-third of the cost of his education, approximately $1,000, which leaves the
Washington taxpayers to pay the other
$2,000," explained Michele Marshall for
the Admissions Office. 'The legislature
has made it clear that they don't want us
to go over our present 25 percent."
Evergreen presently has the highest nonresident enrollment of any public college
in the state. The University of Washington, for instance, has only 12 percent
non-residents.
One simple way to remedy the situation, according to Ken Mayer, is to have
the many non-residents who are qualified
apply for residency.
The other, less simple way is to recruit
more in-state students.
"Evergreen doesn't have a positive
image within the state - or it has no
image at all, depending on who you're
talking to," Mayer said in explanation 'of
why only 172 students came to Evergreen
directly from Washington high schools
last year. 'We're aware that we have a
negative stereotype and we're trying to
present a positive image."
As part of the positive image making,
the Admissions and College Relations
Offices, which publish a quarterly admissions newsletter, have taken out ads in
community college newspapers, telephone
each in-state applicant and encourage
them to visit the college, and are trying to
gel high school counselors throughout the
state to also visit the campus.
"We want to work with currently enrolled non-white students also," explained
Mayer, "And visit high schools, community colleges, talent sParch agencies, and
community organizatior > in areas which

Coouer Pohlt Joumtd

have non-white concentrations. These activities are in part directed toward the realization of the college's Affirmative Action goals."
Students can help
Mayer has written a letter to all registered s£udents asking them for their help .
A student can tell their in-state friends
that they should come to Evergreen or
visit their old high school or community
college and talk to the counselors.
"I think we'll make it," Mayer pointed
out, "but it will require the efforts of our
best public relations persons - current
students and faculty members - to really
get the message across."
Despite the need for students, some applicants are being turned away. According
to the Admissions Office, Evergreen presently has ·a more or less open admissions
policy, but that students who do not fill
out the supplemental application form
properly or who are interested in a field
that Evergreen is not equipped for, are
not admitted.

Vote for COG
After months of haggling and debate, a
revised Committee on Governance Document (COG II), defining Ever~reen's governance and decision-making process,
will come before the Evergreen community for ratification or rejection. Ratification of COG II will be determined by a
majority vote in favor of the document
by a significant portion of the campus
community. If COG II is ratified, it will
go to the Board of Trustees for final review on May 23.
The Input Resource Senter (IRS), an information-gathering group on campus,
has been given a major role in the ratification process by President Charles McCann. IRS will distribute a letter and
polling card to members of the community asking for a reaction to COG II.
Copies of COG II will be available at the
Information Center.
Several important changes have been
made to the COG II since a copy of the
document appeared in the Journal last
quarter, including a new section stressing
an active role for the Information Center .
The Board of Trustees viewed COG II
at their February 1 meetir.g. Trustee member Trueman Schmidt said the trustees did
not approve the document at that time be- '
cause "it sounded as though maybe everyone on campus wasn't satisfied with the
document." The board returned the document for further clarification of ratifying
procedures.
Herbert Hadley, chairman of the board,
said, "in the next meeting, the board will
be terribly interested in hearing the results
coming from the administration, faculty
a rod students."

Accreditors evaluate

...

·
Accreditation Team - Some members of the a~creditation team stand with Pres. Charles
McCann and Vice Pres. Ed Kormondy.
A ten-member accreditation team has
finished three intensive days of evaluating
Evergreen as part of the college's attempt
to receive full accreditation from the
Northwest Association of Secondary and
Higher Schools in mid-June . Although
Evergreen is not assured of accreditation
until that time, prospects seem good if
yesterday's report by the accreditation
team is any indication.
"Evergreen is a clear asset to Washington State," said chairperson Rev. Paul
Waldschmidt, "Students are open and enthusiastic ... We were impressed by the
intellect of the f_aculty."
Waldschmidt, president of the University of Portland • went on to list general

~week

recommendations for Evergreen's improvement. In curriculum planning the
team advised that planning time be allotted to faculty with input by resource staff
and that the deans should give reasons for
program choices; The team also recommended that the evaluation system be
simplified but cautioned against oversimplification which would weaken its purpose. "Don't shrink the evaluation down
to a grade ... with an IBM card," joked
Waldschmidt.
•In two weeks President McCann will
receive a report from the team in letter
form, which will be made public at McCann's discretion, in order to make comments and corrections before the final
June decision. (see related story .page 10)

Atom power
On May 10, 1974, Evergreen will host a
symposium titled, "Nuclear Fission Power:
A Faustian Bargain?" Organized by a
group of Evergreen students in the Nuclear Energy Workshop, and advised by
Ann Beug, Evergreen researcher, the symposium will present a diversity of views
on the completely intertwined moral,
economic, and technical issues involved in
the decision to "go nuclear" for energy
production.
According to Jim Duree, Jr., one of the
students on the symposium's coordinating
committee, "consideration in the symposium will be given .to such issues as reactor safety, radioactive waste transportation and 'disposal,' long-term low-level radiation exposure effects, food-chain concentration of radionuclides, economics of
fission plants, and possible alternatives to
a fission-based economy ." Speakers for
the event include nuclear physicist Dr.
John Gofman; nuclear engineer Peter B.
Henault, an environmentalist for Seattle
City Light; state representative Charles
Savage (D-Shelton), chairman of the Joint
Committee on Nuclear Energy; and economist Daniel Ford, a reactor safety expert.

The symposium will begin at 9 a.m. on
Friday, May 10, with a morning introductory session in Lecture Hall 1.
An afternoon session in the second
floor Library lobby will be devoted to the
general topic, "Shall the United States develop a nuclear fission-based electrical
power supply system, including use of the
'fast breeder reactor?'." Evening activities
will focus on the nuclear power decisionmaking process, including consideration
of the proposed nuclear power plants at
Satsop and in Skagit County.
The entire event will be free and open
to the public. Questions from the audience will be encouraged and KAOS radio
(89.3 fm) will broadcast portions of the
symposium. For more information contact
Ann Beug (866-6543 or 866-0927) or Jim
Duree, Jr. (866-5210).

Forum on
curriculum
Academic Dean Rudy Martin reports
that a Curriculum Planning Review disappearing task force (DTF) will conduct a
public hearing at 9 a.m., May 8 in room
110 of the Activities bldg. to hear campuswide comments about the processes leading to selection of 1974-75 academic programs. The DTF will present a visual
model of the processes actually used to

generate the 1974-75 curriculum so that
those attending the meeting will have
some idea of what was done . Discussion
will focus on what improvements can be
made.
The DTF, which meets Wednesdays at
9 a.m . in the Deans Confere~ce room
(first floor of the Lab building), has divided its considerations into three major
phases: 1) The Process and Cuntent of
the 1974-75 Curriculum; 2) Recommendations for Planning and 3) Long-Range
Planning. "The May 8 public hearing will
address itself oniy to the first phase,"
Martin said. "Other advertised public
hearings will be held as the group moves
into the second and third stages of its
work."

Sounding Board
The Mayday meeting of the Sounding
Board focused on continuing discussion of
the ideas initiated by student Gary
Marcus on April 24.
In his opening statement , Marcus expressed the need for attitudinal change in
America as a whole and Evergreen in particular. He presented a revised viewpoint
of the governance system and called for a
"brain-storming" session to develop proposals on previously generated ideas .
Discussion centered around several
issues, the first being the process whereby
disappearing task forces (DTF) are formed
and how they operate. Recommendations
included the proposal that all DTFs be required to notify the sounding board of
their creation and final conclusions. Other
concerns were voiced on the process of
follow ~hrough on DTF recommendations,
the selection of membership, and meeting
schedules.
'Two agenda items for the next meeting
on May 8 are: A follow on Marcus' initiative with the formulation of specific
proposals based on the discussion of the
previous two meetings and an item from
student Jill Fleming questioning the
brevity of Spring Quarter, '74 .

Faculty grows
Evergreen has completed contract agreements with six new faculty for the
1974-75 academic year. These new faculty
members are: William Brown, geography;
Rainier Hasenstab, environmental design;
Stephen S.W. Hui, physics; Don Jordan,
Native American studies; Joyce Peskin,
communication/literature; and Lynn

Accreditat-ion: an Evergreen odyssey
BY TONY FORREST
The ten members of the Commission on
Higher Schools of the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools
assigned to investigate Evergreen's accreditation possibilities were seated and ready
to begin by 9 a.m. Monday morning in
the board room of the Library. Not all of
the Evergreen upper echelon people were
there by then, however, and the team
spent its time waiting by browsing
through some of, as one member of the
team called it, the "zillion printed materials" provided them by the administration
the night before.
Provost Ed Kormondy explained (apologized?) "Evergreen time" to the nine man
and one woman panel comprised of educators from other west coast colleges and
universities. "Somebody make a note of
that," joked Rev. Paul E. Waldschmidt,
chairman of the accreditation team and
President of the University of Portland.
Waldschmidt was to look into the ad- ·
ministration end of Evergreen, a duty he
said he inheirited because "after everybody gets all the good things I get the administration." The "good things" Rev.
Waldschmidt was referring to included coordinated studies, group and individual
contracts, student services, Library services and more. Absent from the areas announced were cooperative education and
computer services, but Kormondy and
head of student services Larry Stenberg
quickly pointed out these omissions to the
panel, who demonstrated what could be
said to be th~ir strongest points - flexibility and sincere interest in their work
- by immediately welcoming this information and correcting the oversight.
Three-day look
In essence the mission of the team
members was to take a three-day look at
Evergreen from top to bottom and see if
they liked what they saw. Then they will
submit their findings along with their recommendations concerning accreditation to
a June 18-20 meeting of the Association.
Dr. James Bemis, ex-officio member of the
group and executive director of the Commission on Higher Schools, expects that a
decision regarding full accreditation will
be made at that meeting.
Once underway, Monday's general
meeting moved alohg quickly; the team
members obviously anxious to get down
to business and get the feel of Evergreen,
a school all of these experienced educators
had heard about but few, if any, had
seen. At one point in the meeting the
current status of research grants and proposals was raised. Provost Kormondy informed the panel that most of the grants

at Evergreen so far have been in the Natural Science area and not, for example, in
the humanities . Asked why this was
Kormondy explained that the science faculty have been much more aggressive in
their efforts to attain monies.
"Is the rigor of the other faculty's
schedule related to this lack of grant requests?" asked a member of the group.
"It isn't unrelated . . ." began
Kormondy.
Representative mixture
Luckily the group broke up into smaller
teams at about 9:50 and Joel Gilman, a
Journal photographer, and I were going to
accompany two members, . Drs. Arnold
Picard and Terry Lunsford, on their visit
to the Nature and Society coordinated
study. Or so we thought. Dr. Picard went
into a seminar that was supposed to end
soon and Dr. Lunsford decide<;! to interview us. We occupied the outer portion of
program secretary Sandy Mallgren's office, who later took part in our discussion
while sorting mail in faculty boxes, and
were joined by a Nature and Society student named Clay. All in all it was a good
mix. Joel is a newcomer to Evergreen this
quarter who previously attended a community college in Eastern Washington,
Clay attended the University of Colorado
for a year-and-a-half before quitting
school for a while and then coming here.
This is the only college I have attended,
and Sandy probably knew more about the
school, particularly the fatuity, than the

rest of us combined.
Lunsford, academic director of the Field
Studies Program at Berkeley, asked all the
questions you would expect a visitor with
his job to ask, and seemed to take an
honest interest in each of us as people. It
was nice. He would fit right in here. He
asked about our overall feelings about
school, about what kind of students made
it here and about those who couldn't
handle the freedom, about our schedules
and work loads, our working relationships with faculty and other students. He
asked about how. we got into the programs we were in and about what we
were going to do once we were out of
school. We discussed modules. We talked
about the campus, the Evergret:n community . I told him that my theory was
that there used to be a tangible Evergreen
community fee!ing but that "they" had
talked it into oblivion, that it had become
a public relations blurb and thus died, or
ra!her changed. I hinted that by "they" I
meant the administration. Still we all
agreed that it was a friendly campus and
a good atmosphere to go to school in.
Administration 'uptight'
We even managed to ask him a few
questions. He told us he was so far impressed with the school and told us not to
worry about getting accredited. But "the
administration seems uptight," he said. "I
don't know whether to think that's because they've got skeletons in the closet or
whether this is a big step for the school
Cooper Point Journal

and they are nervous and anxious to
make a good impression."
We assured him that it was the latter.
Yet suddenly I felt like a Nixon aide. Sure
I believe in Evergreen. In a sense I work
for it by being a student, although Payroll will never go for that one, and I am
dedicated to the Evergreen concept. But
do I know all of the administration's dav
to day actions? Is there a slush fund? A
milk deal with SAGA? Are McCann's
cigars wired for sound? Oh well, I figured, might as well take Watergate's
Gordon Straughn's advice to "stay away
from it" one step further and not even
think about it.
Our conversation ended when Dr. Lunsford excused himself to go and talk with a
faculty member of Nature and Society.
Dr. Pickar was still in that seminar that
was supposed to have ended in a few
minutes. Apparently he was as interesting
and as interested as Dr. Lunsford. In fact
during the rest of that day and the next
two all of the group members proved
over and over their .dedication to and
interest in their task. From what I saw
and heard of those days I think they were
sufficiently impressed with us to recommend accreditation.
'Burger school'
Apparently most of the faculty were
never worried anyway. One common attitude seemed to be that expressed by faculty member Thad Curtz.
"Oh I'm sure we'll get accredited. There
are burger schools all over this country
that are accredited."
"What is a bmger school, Thad?"
"I don't know; I just made it up. I
guess that's where you get a degree and a
side order of fries."
How can we miss? Still a lot of students
were naturally concerned, even worried,
about what kind of impression the
accreditation team was getting. A large
number of them attended a meeting with
four members of the group. One time I
counted 68 people in the room but the
number varied from time to time. The important thing is that the people present
cared. And they were honest. There were
gripes as well as praise, there were arguments and agreements, and there was
communication right there in that room
on this campus just the way it's s'posed to
be.
Talking about specialization and how
to cope with it at Evergreen, a student
said he wanted to be a musician.
"But you also want to be a human being. So you came to Evergreen," commented Dr. Joe Axelrod from San Francisco State University.
T earn enthusiastic
There was an enthusiastic round of
applause. The other team members
present were Dr. Clarence Gorchels, director of the library at Oregon College of
Education; Dr. Arthur Kreisman, dean of
arts and sciences at Southern Oregon College; and Dr. Virginia Frobes, professor
ot psychology at the University of Utah.

...

Optimistic Lunch: Pres. Charles McCann confers with Dr. Virginia P. Frobes' of the Accreditation Team.
They were well-received because, like the
crowd tbeir presence had gathered, they
were willing to be honest - although
they wouldn't come right out and say we
were in. Actually they didn't have to.
"Would you enroll, or would you let
your children enroll here?'' a student
asked Dr. Kreisman.
He said that for two of his sons this
would have been a great place. Earlier Dr.
Gorchels had told some students that
Evergreen may be just the place for his
daughter.
"Are you having fun?" they were
asked.
''I'm having a ball," replied Dr. Kreisman.

Now Open

New faces appear
The Women's Center has new coordinators this quarter: Patrice Scoggins and
Constance Palaia. They are replacing
Sarah Gunning, coordinator for Fall and
Winter Quarters.
The center, located at Library rm. 3213,
is much busier this year than in past
years. Spotlighting their activities for this
month is the Women's Festival. The
Women's Center also sponsors workshops
and serves as a facilitator of women's activities for the Evergreen community.

Affirmative Action pressed
BY BRAD POKORNY

A number of things happening now
the adoption of the Affirmative Action
Program, the work of the Disappearing
Task Force [DTF) that is investigating the
concerns of the non-white community,
and the budget request of the Non-white
Minority Coalition - have brought into
focus some issues co,.cerning Evergreen 's
responsibility and commitment to the nonwhite community. This article will deal
with some of those events and issues.
The Affirmative Action program was
adopted at the April 18 Board of Trustees
meeting. It is a "goa,-oriented program
through which the coltege makes specific
additional efforts to recruit, hire, train
and promote non-whites and women; and
to recruit, admit, and educate non-white
and women students." The plan is an attempt to go beyond "benign neutrality in
employment and educational practices" by
setting goals for non-white and women
staff, students and faculty in terms of
ratios to white staff, students and faculty,
that are higher than ratios in the general
population. For example, the plan calls
for 25 percent of the faculty to be nonwhite by 1982, for 25 percent of the
students to be non-white by 1984, and for
15 percent of the staff to be non-white.
The 15 percent figure has been reached in
some of Lhe lower levels of the administrative hierarchy, but, as one goes up the
ladder, the percentages of non-whites
drop off, thus the timetable for staff
varies.
The enactment of the plan reaffirms
Evergreen's commitment to a wide spectrum of cultures on campus. But there is
some skepticism by various campus
spokesmen about the extent to which the
plan represents an honest commitment to
action as opposed to mere rhetoric.
Non-white coalition
The Non-white Coalition, an advisory
board consisting of eight representative
non-white students and an executive secretary who reports directly to the president,
stated in a memorandum to the Board of
Trustees that "simple enactment of the
plan will not effect the changes which are
intended;" that the success of the plan
will parallel the commitment of the institution's officials. Part of the coalition's
skepticism lies in a problem they termed
the "tumstile effect," where . non-whites
seem to resign as fast as they are hired indicating a dissatisfaction by non-whites
which does not show up in the statistics,
as the percentages remain the same.
,,.hird world folks have taken it on the
neck since we opened," said Academic
Qean Rudy Martin, referring to the em-

12

ployment situation at Evergreen. He cited
several cases where a position held by a
non-white was dissolved, the non-white
left, and then the position was reestablished and is presently held by a white.
This happened frequently during the administrative reorganization of spring 1973.
One case was that of Gerald Burke who
was director of housing, but was let go
when the position ,was dissolved. A white
male now holds the position.
In a similar way, there are indications
that the needs of the non-white students
are not being met. "The survival rate for
first-year non-white students just out of
·high school is very low," said Admissions
Director Ken Mayer. A faculty member
who worked in admissions the first year
talked about how the admissions staff
tried to get non-white students to come
here but, in most cases, Evergreen just
didn't seem to be what they needed or
wanted.
Clabaugh replies
Dean Clabaugh, administrative vice
president, when asked if he really wanted
25 percent of this school to be non-white,
replied by saying he didn't think the 25
percent figure was attainable. Why7 "Be-

cause for one thing we are in Olympia,
Washington. When this school was set up
there were only eight blacks on the Thurston County census rolls." He also wondered whether we have the funds to recruit and attract non-whites. Thomas
Ybarra, the executive secretary of the
Non-white Coalition, responded to this by
saying, "If you take care of the quality of
life, the figures will take care of themselves."

Y
Wong
- Evergreen should be strong enough
A non-white DTF was charged with investigating the concerns of the non-white
community and the quality of life at Evergreen. One of the issues, which they
termed the chicken and egg dilemma, was
how can we justify spending the time and
money to improve the quality of life for
non-white students when we don't have
enough non-white students to justify it,
and how can we attract any non-white
students unless we spend some time and
money meeting their needs.
Everyone working on the problem
seemed to be held at a sylogistic deadlock
until, at one DTF meeting, Charles E.
Smith, an associate dean at the University
of Washington Law School, suggested
that it seemed Evergreen is flexible enough
to meet curricular needs, and attractive
enough to get students.
Director of Computer Services York
Wong, who is on the Non-white DTF,
said that maybe we should try this approach. "l-et's go out and get as many
third world students on campus as we can
and we as Evergreeners should be strong
enough and committed enough so that,
with' our resources, we will · design programs for them."
Faculty needed
Thomas Ybarra, making it clear that he
was speaking for himself, stated that he
thought this would be a partial solution
but it wouldn't be adequate unless we
have the non-white faculty we requested.
"Without those faculty members there we
would have nothing but students to design curriculum."
Another issue regarding the quality of
life for non-whites on campus deals with
the Non-white Coalition's budget request.
Cooper Point Journal

At the last Board of Trustees meeting the
Coalition requested that their full $45,000
budget be granted. They said that the
$24,000 allocated was not sufficient to
meet their needs. They want the money
to, among other things, bring in curriculum consultants, bring in non-white cultural events, and to develop a non-white
skills bank.
But a number of people on campus
have questioned the need for that money
to be exclusively in the hands of the Nonwhite Coalition. They ask why the Coalition shouldn't go through the academic
budget for things like curriculum consultants, and through the Services and Activities budget for cultural events. Ybarra explained that if the Coalition has to depend
on other sources for funding then they
become an ess~ntially political organization instead of performing the basically
administrative task they were set up to
do. Dean Martin said "Their appeal was
aimed at getting a firmer base for funding
than simply through somebody's reserve
or contingency fund." It is his thinking,
he said, and that of the Coalition board,
that they should work with other budgetary units, but the Coalition also needs to
have some budgetary autonomy.
Funds not available
President McCann indicated at the
board meeting that funds were not available to meet the Coalition's request, but
the board directed McCann to meet with
the Coalition befo.re the next board
meeting to resolve the issue. Thomas
Dixon, a board member, said the issue is
so important that JJnless the problem is resolved he doesn't wish to remain a member of the board.
Ybarra summarized the problem: "1
think this school has done more than
enough talk about commitment. It's embodied in the Affirmative Action Plan, in

the self-study report, and so on. What is
needed is to stop talking and start doing
something about it." ' Other non-white
spokesmen also saw disparity between actions and words.
President McCann spoke of the
progress that has been made in this way,
"I think that as an institution we've been
trying. Look at the statistics, look at the
Affirmative Action statistics. We've come
a long way in a short time." He also said
we have a long way to go.
The Affirmative Action figures state
that out of 110 faculty members, 15.5
percent are non-white; out of 36 professional staff positions 8.3 percent are nonwhite. This is compared to a state market
of 4. 7 per cent for non-white professionals; 9.1 percent of the student body is
non-white; the affirmative action goal for
next year is to have an 11 percent
non-white student body.
"What Evergreen said it was about
doesn't really seem to be what it is
about," said Jacquline Delahait, a Native
American student. She added "I am aware
of institutional racism here." On the other
hand, one Chicano student said he felt
that his needs were being met and he
wasn't dissatisfied.
Issue of consistency
Academic Dean Rudy Martin summed
up the whole issue as one of being consistent with the Evergreen philosophy. He
said, "I think that Third World folk's
concerns and the meeting of the Affirmative Action goals should be at top priority
because it comes at the very heart of what
Evergreen is about. We are built on the
notion of interdisciplinary studies. The
bourgeois and elite folks have been doing
interdisciplinary studies at Vassar and
other colleges for a long time now.
"I see Evergreen as trying to bring some

public institution, our admission policy is
practically an open door. Interdisciplinary
studies oughta be as valid for the masses
as for the classes, but up 'till now Evergreen doesn't seem to be as attractive to
the masses. Who are we here to serve7 If
we are to serve the upper class kids from
Bellevue and Mercer Island, then we are
one kind of college. If we are to serve the
masses from places like Longview and the
Tri-Cities then we are another kind of college. So far, we have been the first type
of college; it's time we started moving
towards that dream of the second type."

A grovving conflict
on Sand A fees
May 13 is the deadline for submitting
proposals to the Services and Activities
Fees Review Board (S&A) for funding
consideration. The board, through the Input Resource Senter (I.R.S.), is also issuing a questionnaire early next week to obtain student input on the $72,000 S&A
discretionary fund should be spent.
In line with these events, as well with
the continuing activities of disappearing
task force(DTF) headed by Don Meyer to
investigate tlze issue, Journal asked Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh
and Assistant Director of Student Activities AI Rose to each write a short article
explaining tlze S&A Board and their views
of its role.
In recent weeks the S&A Board has
been the center of controversy due to an

Dean Clabaugh
- Executive Vice President

Clabaugh figures
The typical Evergreen student pays a
$165 quarterly enrollment charge, made
up of three parts: $25.00 for 'Tuition,"
dedicated solely to capital improvements;
$91.50 for "Operating Fees," for the
purpose of regular institutional operations; and $48.50 for "Services &t Activities Fees," for the express purpose of funding student activities and programs, including capital facilities for · student activities. The Services and Activities Fees will
yield, in academic year 1974-75, approximately $318,000, supplemented by an
additional $30,000 in S&tA receipts during
the summer session. Those revenues, together with other miscellaneous income
(such as rental receipts from the bank)
totalling $17,000, constitute Evergreen's
14

April 2 memo by Clabaugh referring to
some of the current practices of the board
as "repugnant" and potentially illegal.
On the other hand, many members of
the S&A Board have asserted that students do not have proper say in all Activities Fees expenditures and that the money
(approximately $62,000) set aside each
year for College Activities Building Phase
II is unnecessary. Director of Facilities
Planning Jerry Schillinger has stated that
Phase One of the building (the present
Activities building) is large enough for
our projected top enrollment, 4,500 students by 1980. The DTF is currently meeting to investigate these and other problems including the payment of student
fees for staff ID cards, and multiple
source funding of student activities.
College Activities Fund. When supplemented by the approximately $24,000
which we anticipate to remain from
1973-74 income to the fund, that provides
a whopping $389,000 for the year.
The Board of Trustees, at its April 18
meeting, allocated this $389,000 in the
rounded amounts identified below.
The Trustees allocated $72,000 to the
Services &t Activities Review Board (constituted primarily of students, with staff
and faculty representation) for its sub-allocation to various activities, such as
UJAMMA, MECHA, Asian-American,
NASA, the Gig Commission, the Day
Care Center. The S&tA Board has final
say regarding that sub-allocation within
the constraints of law, subject only to a
never yet exercised veto by the Director
of Auxiliary Services.
Sixty-two thousand dollars were set
1
aside for College Activities Building Phase
II, owing to the need to add additional
space to that structure, particularly for
food service and bookstore, when Evergreen's enrollment reaches approximately
3,000 students (present projections would
have Evergreen at that size in 1979 or
1980). To accumulate funds for architectural design (estimated at about $186,000)
over a three year period at $62,000 each,
a one year period for design and other
paper work, plus two years for construction, accumulation must begin now to
permit construction completion by 1979.
The basic College Activities Building was
constructed with State funds, but law and
practice provide for further construction
from S&tA funds or from generated revenue. Given the fact that neither our
Bookstore ·nor our Food Service at this
time generate any "profit" (in fact, the
Food Service loses money), S&tA funds

are the sole source for constructing Phase
II. Good arguments have been made for
an alternate S&A fund use; to construct
the Gymnasium addition to the College
Recreation Center. I tend to reject that
plan because while we have alternative
sources to fund the Gymnasium (that is,
State appropriated funds), we have none
for funding the C.A.B. addition.

Trustee allocations to depreciation reserves are based on one percent of the
original construction cost of the College
Activities Building '($28,000) and ten percent of the original equipment cost in that
building ($25,000). A College Activities
Building operation allocation of approximately $100,000 provides heat, light, janitorial services, etc., for C.A.B.
A College Recreation Center allocation
- $58,000 - supports full time and student staff persons in the College Recreation Center. An I.D. Cijrd allocation is
$4,000; a $6,000 Transcripts and Portfolios allocation represents a prepayment
by sti.Jdents for transcripts and portfolios
which they will need after leaving Evergreen. The Trustees allocated $1.00 per
student per quarter for an emergency loan
fund administered by the office of Financial Aid &t Placement. A Contingency Reserve allocation ($9,000) stands against
any failure to meet anticipated revenues
and serves to meet emergencies which
may arise.
The simple listing of the proposed allocations suggests some of the complexities
which need to be addressed by a studentfaculty-staff task force which I convened
early in April to advise me on a number
of matters relating to the College Activities Fund. Among other things, I have
asked that DTF to make recommendations
regarding long range planning in the operations of the fund, a clear definition of
· roles and authority regarding the use of
' S&tA fees, a definitional statement re~ard­
. Ing what properly constitutes stui:ient
activities at Evergreen, and a number of
other questions.
DEAN E. CLABAUGH

In 1971, by legislative action, Services
and Activities Fees became a part of the
tuition and fees paid by students at the
!. time of registration. During the last three
academic years, the amount of Services
·,· and Activities Fees has been $48.50 per
, full paying student per quarter. Starting
, this fall it will increase to $52.50 per full
paying student per quarter. For academic
year 1974-75 this amount will total an estimated $320,963.
Cooper Point Journal

As is the case with any new state law,
we must depend on clarification and interpretation rendered by the Attorney General's Office. With Services and Activities
Fees, there are three points which are
supposed to govern their use. The first is
that use of Services and Activities Fees
must be related to a decision made by the
students. Secondly, all students must
derive some benefit from the use of Services and Activities Fees. And the third
point is that Services and Activities Fees
cannot be used directly in support of academic programs. These three points probably conjure up some personal interpretations. Generally, determination for how
Services and Activities Fees are to be used
is up to the discretion of the Board of
Trustees at each institution.
Evergreen's Services and Activities Fees
are allocated and dispersed in a variety of
· ways. Some items have been determined
by administrators to be fixed costs. These
include Emergency loan funds, the cost of
Identification cards (for students, staff,
and faculty), portfolio and transcripts,
and the operational c,osts for the College
Activities Building. The operations support costs for the College Activities
Building and the Campus Recreation
Center are considered more semi-variable.
That is, they are necessary, but there is
some discretion in what the total amount
will be.
We have, at Evergreen, a couple of
variable budgets. The most important is
the Student Related Activities budget.
This is the discretionary fund allocated to
student organizations by the Services and
Activities Fees Review Board. The other
variable budget is the newly created
Directors Fund. This is a fund to be allocated at the discretion of the Director of
Auxiliary Services.
Some of the costs incurred by Services
and Activities Fees are somewhat hidden.
We have, for the last three years, provided rent free space to the bookstore and
the food service operation. Also we have
paid utilities, provided equipment and
maintenance, and even given cash subsidies to the food service operation (which
is a private corporation).
Starting with fiscal year 1974-75 a substantial amount of Services and Activities
Fees dollars will be used for depreciation
of the CAB and its furnishings ($28,000
per year for the CAB and $25,000 per
year for its furnishings). The other item
which uses Services and Activities Fees is
the building fund ($62,000 for fiscal year
1974-75). This is much the same as the depreciation costs in that students have had
virtually no say in its establishment or its
continuance. The money will presumably
be used to fund additional facilities if it is
even determined that we need additional
facilities.
During fiscal year 1974-75, there will be
$320,963 available in Services and Activities operating funds. Of this amount
$115,000 has been set aside by the administration for a building fund and depreciaMa,rl, li'14

tion. The only formal input by students
into this decision (provided by the Services and Activities Fees Review Board)
·
was almost completely rejected.
The Services and Activities Fees Review
Board (S&A Board) has a dual responsibility with regard to the allocation of
Services and Activities Fees. With the•
total Services and Activities Fees, they
provide input to the administration which
at this point may be accepted or rejected.
Part of the total budget is the Student Related Activities budget ($71, 713 for fiscal
year 1974-75) which is their discretionary
pool of funds to be allocated to student
organizations. John Moss, director of auxiliary services, has veto power over any
decision made by the S&A Board. The
makeup of the S&A Board includes six
randomly selected students (from the
Community Service List), ~me randomly
selected faculty member (from the com-

do not control these budgets. We advise
as to the legality or feasibility of an idea
and attempt to help people work through
the mountains of white tape which is always present in a state institution. Occasionally, I find that the policy makers establish procedures which discourage certain types of expenditures,· so it becomes
my task to find a way around, through,
over, or whatever is necessary to get the
project completed.
There are, I think, some problem areas
which the institution is eventually going
to have to face. Since we don't have a
student government, we don't have an
administrative watchdog or a student advocacy office.
That students realistically don't have a
say about what happens with a large portion of the Services and Activities Fees;
that certain allocations are line items (no
direct allocation from students) while
others must make requests on a yearly
basis; that some college policies discourage rather than encourage spending; that
Services and Activities Fees are being used
to subsidize operations without student
input; that some costs are considered
fixed and automatically funded while
others are discretionary are all areas I
think should seri\)usly and immediately be
considered. I afso think the decisions
should be made by students not for students.

member (also from the computer).
There are some inherent problems in
the S&A Board Process. Such things as
board members with vested interests, personality conflicts among members of the
board, and many times the lack of dollars
available for requests have tended to slow
down or weaken the process. But any
time a human process is developed, there
are going to be human problems.
There is presently a DTF convened to·
study the whole area of College Activities
Funds. This DTF is charged with creation
of policies and procedures and recommendations concerning the future of Services and Activjties Fees and other College
Activities Funds. Hopefully some guidelines will come out of their deliberations
which will clear up the allocation and disbursement processes for Services and Activities Fees. Of course students are in the
minority on this DTF.
Once a student organization is funded
by the S&A Board, they work through
the Office of Recreation and Campus Activities. Pete Steilberg and myself have

Provost decried
At the Faculty Forum's March 13 meeting, the faculty members
present voted 18-1 to request that "Vice President Kormondy immediately appoint a disappearing task force (DTF) comprised of
faculty, students and staff to critically examine the current Faculty Handbook." Kormondy did appoint a DTF to discuss section
4.000 of the handbook dealing with faculty policies, but not one
student or one staff member was asked to participate: instead 13
faculty members were appointed. What reason did Kormondy
give for his failure to include staff or students on the DTF, thus
disregarding guidelines set up in the committee on governance
document (COG)? "Because it's only on the Faculty Handbook,"
he said, "It concerns only one cluster of the college."
Kormondy should remove his blinders. After only a few
minutes' attendance at a meeting of the DTF (while conducting
followup research on a story dealing with the handbook), I felt
compelled to shed my role as reporter and give the viewpoint of a
student, a perspective ctfmpletely vacant except in the occasional
reflection of a well-meaning faculty member. When the discussion
turns to faculty members spending one-third of a three-year contract beyond their particular fields of expertise that concerns students. When the discussion is on deadlines for faculty completion
of student evaluations that concerns not only students but also
secretarial staff whose responsibility it is to type up those evaluations. It concerns only "one cluster of the college?"
This is not the first faculty-only DTF to work up a grant proposal for the National Science Foundation. At tlae January 30
meeting of the Sounding Board, when asked about this,
Kormondy said he based his decision to use only faculty due to a
time factor and a need for expertise. "One has to be realistic,. " he

said. But is Kormondy being "realistic" with the Faculty Handbook DTF7 There is no limiting time factor. There is no expertise
problem, except the expertise lost by not having students and staff
serve on the DTF.
Helen Hannigan, chairperson of the DTF revising the committee
on governance (COG) document which defines the guidelines for
decision-making and governance at Evergreen agrees that all
DTF's should have faculty, student and staff participation.
"There's no decision which doesn't affect all three areas of the
college," she said, "You throw a pebble in the water and the
ripples go out from there."
The COG document states that administrators should be accountable for decisions made and "must include clear opportunities for input by those other members of the College community
who experience the results of the administrative process." If Vice
President Kormondy does not agree with the COG document as it
stands now, and would like to create DTFs of his own volition
and make-up, he has the right, as does every Evergreen member,
to submit his recommendations for revising the COG document,
which is in its final ratification stage before going to the Board of
Trustees. But he does not have the right to blatantly ignore the
guidelines expressed in the governance document, guidelines set up
to insure that administrators will solicit consultation from "people
who are affected by and interested in the issues" (in this case the
students and staff), guidelines set up to guard against oligarchies
in which the power is vested in a few.
I suggest to Mr. Kormondy that he reconsider his interpretation
of the COG document and since it is most likely too late to
change the official make-up of the Faculty Handbook DTF, in the
future recognize all the "clusters of the college" when forming
DTFs.

Winter Consort offers a rich and
awesomely beautiful musical experience that everyone should be able
to enjoy and be touched by, whatever their particular musical taste.
Their music defies classification :·
there are elements of rock, jazz and
classical music but like a long-simmered stew with many spices, the
flavors have become so intertwined
that they are impossible to isolate.
Similar to John Mclaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra in approach,
Winter Consort blends the sounds
of many diverse instruments and
the techniques of many disciplines
into a unitary whole with an incredibly wide range of expressive possibilities.

The National Science Foundation is
sponsoring a project to introduce new
science teaching materials into the
Olympia public schools. Twelve Evergreen students will be selected to participate in an interacti-on workshop on
science curriculum improvement study
materials to be held at Evergreen June
17-28.
Participants will have most workshop
expenses and full tuition paid by the foundation grant, and will be awarded one
unit of credit. Students will then work in
the Olympia schools next year with teachers in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades to
implement the new approach to elementary school science teaching. This program can be integrated into contracts or

Cooper Point Journal

ven coordinated studies programs.
Evergreen project director Don Humhrey should be contacted before May 15
at Lab. 3006 or 866-6672. He expects this
o be an exciting program giving students
xperience in education and science.

Pub meets
The Evergreen State College Board of
ublications will meet tomorrow at 1
p.m. in the Board Room located in
Library building rm. 3112. The topic for
discussion will be the 1974-75 budget for
the Cooper Point Journal. The meeting is
open to the public.

iTapes reviewed
The Ad Hoc Cable Casting Review
oard automatically came into being
when a student group, led by Chuck
ifowner, began producing Thurston Thursday, a local-news show shown on a commercial cable channel.
The Board's Friday afternoon meeting
to discuss review procedures was attended
by seven of the 13 appointees. At issue
was whether or not campus-produced
tapes should bear a label acknowledging
their Evergreen origin. Some ideas
bandied about were "acknowledging with
thanks" the use of facilities, disclaimers,

/ even reconvening last fall's College Broadcasting DTF. The only conclusion reached
was a decision to meet again.

For further information contact George
Porter at 866-6220; Trey or Kitty at
357-3829; Julie at 866-0284; or Joe at 3574235. The DTF meets every Thursday at
noon on the third floor of the Activities
building.

Brown appointed
The Evergreen Security office has announced the assignment of Ann Brown to
the post of campus police assistant. The
new job designation for Brown is the
result of months of on-the-job training
under security chiefs Rod Marrom and
Mack Smi(h, and her recent commissioning as a deputy sheriff of Thurston
County.
Formerly a secretary for security,
Brown will now be obligated to "perform
the duties of a legally authorized matron
in the enforcement of laws and campus
regulations involving women ." Specifically , her job will include the following
work: acting as liaison between the college Security office and the office of the
dean of developmental services; accompaniment of officers questioning or detaining women; operation of police radio;
dispatching of other security personnel
and liaison with the Fire department.
Although legally no longer a secretary,
Brown will, at times, be required to fulfill

Disney In
wonderland
More and more often these days one
sees a growing appreciation for the technical and imaginative genius of Walt Disney. This is nothing new in the sense that
since it began nationwide distribution in
the late twenties no single production
company has pleased as large an audience
so consistently as Disney.
What is surprising, however, is the fact
that this burgeoning cultural awareness
seems not to be coming from preadolescent fluoride mutants or camper-happy
parents carousing central Florida's Magic
Kingdom with impotent superlatives lolling off their tongues like hot mustard at
the shrine of an investment in fantasy so
collosal it dry humps the imagination, but
from gifted young cartoonists, artists
graphic and otherwise, even a smattering
of promising new novelists and poets who
might otherwise have frowned upon
"Media Mass-art" as something slavish
and symptomatic of a rampaging social
botulism curable only by massive doses of
organically-grown lentils and palsied
breathing patterns hissing vaguely at the
word, "godchristgurus."

Thank godchristgurus that old W.O.
lies in sub-zero state at the ready to one
day soon take the helm of his magical
submarine stern-wheeler from the hands
of corporate entropy and that a trickling
of his excellent old cartoons still make
their way into the theatres. Though far
from the best of them, Alice in
Wonderland is running this week at the
Capitol Theater and seeing how most all
its predecessors appear to be logged away
sanctimoniously in archives and ironclad
release rights, it's a shame to miss it. With
the exception of Fantasia and One
Hundred and One Dalmatians it is probably one of Disney's less exciting films.
Fantasia gets out these days because somehow it enjoys the misreputation of being
Disney's only experimental film and is
enjoyable to a non-Disney audience laboring sweetly under the influence of dubious
chemical agents. This, however, is nonsense. In the first place almost every prefifties Disney film was experimental in
one sense or another and in the second
place, like or not, there is no such thing
as a "non-Disney" audience.
Hand-drawn animation
If for no other reason, Alice in Wonderland is important because it is the last
film Walt made without the use of the
Xerox camera, an innovation that made
the process of animation labor-saving and
cheap to produce as well as giving images
a more static two-dimensionality. By the

HELPI
Volunteer help and equipment is needed to realize TESC's third annual Graduation Festivities. Students, faculty*, and staff are asked to lend a hand on the
following days:
Saturday, june 1st: 18 people and 6 trucks are needed to help pick up 1400
chairs in the Olympia area.
.
Sunday, june 2nd: 10 people are needed to set up chairs; 15 people are needed
to make drinks (coffee, tea, and punch); and 10 people are needed to take down
chairs.
Monday, june 3rd: 18 people and 6 trucks are needed to return the chairs.
* This is a good opportunity for faculty members to provide a pragmatic service to
the students. One faculty member has already volunteered (Wince!) to help make
drinks.
A sign-up sheet will be posted on the Graduation DTF bulletin board near the
information center in the CAB building. Please try to sign up by May 17th. For
additional information, call Joe at 357-4235 after 5:00p.m.

time Alice was made in 1950 the handdrawn technique of animation had been
perfected to a peak that has never been
surpassed. This, coupled with the multiplane camera, a Disney invention born
out of a desire to produce a startling illusion of depth perception, makes Alice a
film of splendid visual esotericism. Aside
from that, there's the voice casting of
Sterling Holloway as the Cheshire Cat
and Ed Wynn and Jerry Colonna backing
up the Mad Hatter and March Hare with
caricatures that don't quite let you forget
it. The choreography and fast breaks in
character movement are astonishingly precise and sometimes spectacular (to use no
less a word).
If there is any reason for not seeing the
film it is for the sake of Lewis Carroll's
book. If you want the story or subtle linguistic humor of the writing then you will
most likely be disappointed. Much of it is
lost. In place of this, however, are some
equally subtle sight gags and good slapstick. What makes the movie especially
good though is the preview of coming Disney first runs, Super Athlete and Love
Bug Rides Again. They make one tragically aware of what fantasy entertainment can be.
Also deserving of mention is the accompanying short, a Silly Symphony circa
1930. This cartoon was produced only a
few years after Disney operations moved
out of converted garages, and faith in
Mickey Mouse was as yet unestablished.
Seeing it is like sitting again before the
television on Saturday mornings when
Saturday mornings were a sacred indulgence in cartoon intoxia, and Johnny
Quest would have been laughed off the
screen as a torpid little Aryan faggot, in
the days when humans were viewed only
from the ankles down and got hot-footed
by slue-foot mice packing 4x4 matchsticks.

Katharine Hepburn made her big comeback in the movies with a delightful
romantic-comedy in 1938. Holiday, in
which she co-starred with Cary Grant,
was a flop when it opened which is unfortunate since it seems to get funnier with
each passing year.
Two years after Holiday Hepburn decided to try again. In addition to Cary
Grant she had James Stewart as co-star in
George Cukor's Philadelphia Story. The
film continued the romantic-comedy style
which had worked well if unsuccessfully
in Holiday. This time the formula paid off
with a richly deserved success.
On Wednesday, May 8 at 1:30 and 7
p.m. in Lecture Hall 1, academic films
will be showing Philadelphia Story, on a
double bill with My Man Godfrey. It
should be a full house so plan to arrive
early and prepare to be delighted by one
of America's finest and most powerful
actresses.
