aniel J. Evans, former governor of the state
by a day, is on campus today, January 13,
to begin prepara tions to take on the presidency of Evergreen in July, Evans was enthusiastically appointed president by the Board of
Trustees on Tuesday afternoon after the Presidential
Selection Advisory Committee recommended him for
the position unanimously on Decembel' Z2 .
Evans will be on campus regularly until February 28
to plan for his new job with President Charles J. McCann, whose resignation is effective June 30 . A commitment was made by the trustees to the Presidential
Search Committee to arrange a public question-andanswer session between Evans and Evergreen students,
which is expected to take place before the end ~f February .
The search committee's recommendation put an end
to months of speculation and rumors that Evans was
interested in the ' presidency. The only surprise was
how quickly the search committee made its recommendation. Evans was chosen by the committee during its
first and only meeting on December 22.
Since its beginning Evans has been associated with
the college. During his first term as governor, Evans
sought the establishment of another four-year state
college, and he was on hand with a bulldozer and
hard hat for the ceremonial groundbreaking of the library, which was named after him. Evans was also
present at Evergreen's Dedication Day in 1970, which
happened to coincide with the nationwide anti-Vietnam War May Day protests. The Republican governor
wore a black arm-band. On May '19, 1973, Evans
showed up in jeans and rappelled by rope from the
top of the 122-foot clock tower as part of the recreation center dedication. He praised the college then for
"the opportunity it offers the individual to remain individual and develop along.individual lines."
The selection of Evans has ~n criticized by some
newspapers in the state, and state Senator A. L. "Slim"
Rasm!JSlC!n has requested that ' the Senate Education '
Committee investigate the possibility of a "conflict of
interest" 'in the Board of Trustees" appointment. Evans
appointed all fiw ~embers ,of the board when he was
governor. '
'
,
The seneral feelins ort campuS about Evans is one
' of happinesa and .-eJief, althqU&h there is 'criticism by
some students and a few, faculty about the process in
which he was picked . The sentiment most typically
expressed is, " He'll be great for the school."
R
um ~ rs of the impending resignation of President Charles J. McCann were already in
circulation during the summer of 1976 , A
former dean confided to the COOPER
POINT JOURNAL in July that McCann would leave
the college by the end of the coming school year , and
he said that Governor Evans was McCann's possible
successor,
McCann had privately informed the Board of Trusor possibly earlier, the Board discussed with Evans his
aVjlilability for the presidency . Evans apparently declined to make a decision. Had he accepted, the trustees would have unanimously. approved his appointment and there would have been no Presidential Selection Advisory Committee.
Critics have speculated that Evans did not want to
accept in September because of the risk of bad public
reaction, and that a search committee process was designed to defuse potential trouble , Evans said in a press
conference in December that he had wanted to meet
the selection committee to insure that the faculty, staff,
and students wished him to come to the college. "And
I certainly would not have been willing to accept the
responsibility at Evergreen if there wasn't enthusiasm
on their vart," he stated.
On September 15,'1976, over a year after he had informed the trustees of his decision, McCann announced
publicly his resignation, effective in June, 1977. (At a
boardt meeting on Dec. 9, 1976, Trustee and search
committee chairman Herb Hadley maintained that
"the Board .. . upon knowledge just prior to Dr. McCann's announcement of his pending resignation, has
considered people who may be excellent for the position. ")
.
During October and No'vember theol'ganization of
the Presidential Selection Advisory Committee was
planned. Procedural problems were ironed out and on
December 9 the trustees approved the creation of a
IS-member search committee to begin recruiting a
new president.
Members of the committee were Chairman Herb
Hadley, and Trustee Thomas Dixon; faculty members
William Brown, Linda Kahan, and ~Ine Mimms;
Admi(listrative Vice Presidenl , ~ 'Clabaush;AIIociate Dean of Ubrary ServlCIi Dave Carnahan; Affinnative Action Officer Rindetta Jones; clauified .taff
.
members Helen Hannigan and Ben Wo lfe ; sludents
Colleen Hunt and Bud Cook; Evergreen graduate
Anne Lewin ; and community representative Mark
Hoehne ,
The approved pr.Qcedures called for the cnmmi ttee
to recommend six of 'the " best qualified ca nd idates tor
president." Minimum qualifications fo r tlll: nc\\' pres ident inclu ded: a "background of signa l ac hievem ent ,
knowletlge of and ability to wo rk with pr " l:ll ems tha i
colleges and universit ies will face in the next ten year"
successful high-level administrative experience , prl1 \'cn
ability in public and legislati ve relations , pote nti al iN
fund-raising. and an underst and ing of and sy mpa lhv
for. Evergreen 's philosophy . goals, and modes of in·
struction."
The committee was also' instructed to review Ever·
green's Affirmati;'e Action policy and to take "whatever steps are necessary" to secure qualified minority,
candidates in its search, This was approved by Evergreen's Affirmative Action Officer Rindetta Jones.
who was also a voting member of the search committee ,
Seventeen thousand seven hundred dolla rs was allocated to the committee to aid in its search and a December 22 introductory meeting was scheduled.
A much-criticized "short circuit" clause was also in
the board's charge to"the committee . It said the committee could immediately go to the trustees with a
recommendation if it discovered a person "eminently
qualified for the position" - which, of course. meant
Evans. And the committee could. be ·even further
short-circuited, a college spokesman admitted to the
press, because the job would go to Evans immediately
if he accepted it before the committee met on December 22.
A
few students at the December 9 board meeting were critical of the search committee .
Student Joe Dear said, "I would like to
express concern that I have and that is as to
whether the Presidential Search Committee is the 'Dan
Evans Search Committee' .and how this will be perceived by the Ever~ community. I have heard ru.mors, and t~ tend to run around the community .
The cause of my concern is this. If the students, and
, it's probably the whole school, perceives that this is a

To the Editor:
An open letter to the Women's
Center. Meg Christian, and Olivia Records:
I was looking forward to your
concert last Sunday evening. I
arrived with four of my good
friends to find a sign on the door
which excluded two of them from
attendance because they happen
to be men . That it was t6 be a
concert for women ONLY was
not well-publicized . I feel that
this reverse chauvinism is not
constructive. Women have been
repressed in the past but so have
men who have been expected to
live up to certain standards of
masculinity. Some women and
some men have gone through
changes. Others have a lot yet to
learn. I think that through music
much can be shared about growing, changing, breaking out of
roles . Meg Christian 's songs,
which I have heard on record
are enthusiastic proclamations of
these things. I am sad that Meg
was not willing to share them
with all people . Instead of stirring
constructive actions by your concert and through your words, for
many of us you have placed anger and disappointment. Must
feminists remain separate from
others, from men, for their words
to be strong and open, for their
goals to be realized, for their
work to be done? For these reasons I regret not being able to attend the concert.

Is this attitude really helping
women and men get along together in -this world or is it just
creating a separate society for
women to learn to hate and resent men more and more?
My goal for the sexes in this
life is to enrich communication
and understanding betwe~n myself and other womep and other
men so we can all live and grow
to be free r and happier individuals. I don't understand how my
male friends and acquaintances
are ever going to be really aware
of what women are struggling for
if closed off from this kind of
event involving what is to me
one of the most effective avenues
of communication: music.
I'm sorry and hurt. I decline
from attending Sunday's concert.
It takes two to "Tango."

Leaf Me Alone
To the Editor:
I am appalled at the use of
gasoline-guzzling machines to
blow leaves off sidewalks and
drives. What is the reason for
this? Is the noise alone worth the
"clean" effect this has?
I t seems to me that this is one
step too far. Why not just let the
leaves fall where they do. I think
it would only add beauty to a
good campus.
Richard Esteb
Elevated
Discourse
To the Editor:
It was nothing personal, you
understand, just an innocent attempt to raise the consciousness
of a few people here at the college toward energy awareness.
We'd tried it before at the University of Washington with a
mythical character we christened
Mitak Megawatt, admonishing
folks to be more careful of their
use of energy. Remember Good
Neighbor Nuke? We had Mitak
hovering above the light switches
over the water faucets that
dripped hot water down the
drain, and next to the elevator
buttons. I thought it might be
nice to resurrect the old guy and
put him back to use here at the
noble Evergreen, realizing, of
course, that the level of consciousness here is so high that I'd
only be addressing a few souls
out of two thousand. 1 even
changed Mitak's message a bit to
make it more reasonable, softer.
Use the stairs whenever possible.
I'm sorry to report that Mitak
is dead in LAB n. His lifespan
was about an hour on floors one
and three, and about four hours
on floor two. Someone found
this message offensive enough to
tear him from the doors, rip him
in pieces, and crumple him in the
nearby ashtrays. In a basement
confrontation, a faculty member
(who shall remain anonymous)
tried to bombard me with facts
about the mythical energy problem, saying that our consumption
of gasoline in automobiles and
energy in such things as elevators
made very little impact on the
eventual lifespan of fossil fuels,
that industry was the real culprit
and all our conservation would
mean nothing in the long run.
After delivering this message, he
pressed the button and rode the
elevator from the basement to
the first floor. I hope someday
his body forgives him his arrogance. Perhaps the people that
control industry began by always
riding the elevator when they
could have walked, always taking the car when they could have
bicycled, and always relying on
some form of mechanical, electrical. motor driven device when
their bodies cried for use.
As for our anonymous faculty
member's allegation that industry
is the main culprit of energy
abuse in the U.S., the most recent Science magazine (December 3, 1976) report on the subject
lists transportation as utilizing
25 % of the gross energy (excluding fuel exports) and automobile travel as roughly half of
that amount. As anyone with an
automobile can verify, much of
the travel done by car is trivial.
Homes utilize another 25 % of
the gross energy, most of that
going for heating. Industry of
various sorts utilizes 30 % to
40 %. During the "energy crisis"
of 1973, it was shown that by
cutting the consumption of fossil
fuels through more prudent automobile use by only 10 % to 15 %
was enough to make a significant
impact.
It was missing the point to
suppose I was naive enough to
think that more Spartan elevator
usage would save the world. The
point was that elevators for most
people, most of the time, are absurd uses of energy, especially in
three or four-story buildings. If
people are asked to think about
what they're doing more often
instead of taking our energy consumptive life-style for granted, it
might do some good.

To the Editor:
I was sitting in Lecture Hall
One the other day feeling sorry
for myself when I decided to take
action. No one, I believe, should

this letter, which perhaps will do
some good.

1) DON'T RAMBLE
2) MAKE A POINT
3) DON'T BORE
4) DON'T WASTE OUR TIME
5) BE PREPARED
6) IS THIS LECTURE NECESSARY7
If these six simple points were
to suddenly appear on every
blackboard in the school, we'd
get some action . I have done my

To the Editor:
The Pacific Northwest, land of
volcanoes and wet snow. The
Cascades are not only notable
for their rainfall, but for extensive winter snow cover, too. Everyone knows about our rain.
The western slopes of the Cascades have rainfalls of between
80 and 100 inches yearly. ("That
ain't nothing," the' Olympics say .
With over 150 inches a year, they
got the Cascades beat hands
down.).
But how many folks know
about our snow? This year there
is quite a fuss about that white
stuff. 'Cause we haven't seen
much of it. In a lot of ways our
snowfall is more important than
our rainfall .
Seventy-seven percent of the
total glacier area in the U. S.
south of Alaska is found in our
Washington state. The North
Cascades and Mt. Rdinier are
definitely the prime stockholders
in this business . Mt. Rainier
alone holds 34 square miles of
ice (850 sq. km .). And with good
cause. The largest total snowfall
of anywhere in the world occurs
on Mt. Rainier. A couple years
back she pulled 1,121.4 inches of
snow out of the skyl Quite a
celebrity , 01' Tahoma.
The Cascades have the most
glaciers, densest and most magnificent forests, and least disturbed wilderness in our contiguous states. Their contrasts can
be quite sublime, with a range of
subtle and strong earth colors
emanating from the great variety
of vegetation, the dark forest
shadows, the myriad rock formations of the alpine regions.
Did you ever realize that you
are smack dab in the midst of all
this wonderful country7 The hills
are barely hours away from campus. The snows are a'comin'. A
winter wonderland awaits the
adventurous ones. Take a break
and pull the stakes. Hike the
trails and swim the lakes. A little time is all it takes. A world of
wind and snow awaits.
This plug for the Cascade
mountains has been brought to
you by The Evergreen Alpine
Club.

"What life has taught me I

Questions
for Evans
GET YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS AT
The decision of the Board of Trustees to appoint former
governor Dan Evans to succeed Evergreen President Charles
McCann has received two distinct types of criticism from
two distinct groups. Faculty and students have complained
about the method of Evans' selection, while members of the
outside community have complained about an apparent conflict of interest.
The charges of "cronyism" and conflict of interest can b:
disposed of most readily. Those who raise this complaint
claIm that because Evans appointed the members of the
Board of Trustees, their appointment of him as president is
suspect. The Daily Olympian, Shelton Mason County Journal and State Senator A. L. Rasmussen of Tacoma are among
those who have voiced disapproval on these grounds.
It is true that Evans appointed the Board of Trustees . but
during his twelve years as governor he made hundreds of
appointments affecting not only higher education but a lm ost
all segments of the state government. Likewise, Evans has
had his hand in countless budget decisions, pronouncements,
and legislative. maneuvering that leave little of the present
state government free of his fingerprints . He was governor ;
it was his job.
If Evans had decided not to take a position in Washington
state, there would have been no controversy. But give n his
decision to stay within the state, problems seem inevitable .
Certainly the Board was not acting out of political considerations. It seems unlikely that Evans could not have found a
more prestigious or better paying job if he had wanted. His
willingness to serve as Evergreen's president was welcomed
by the Board not because they owed it to him , but because
he has shown himself to be extremely popular within the "
state, and an able and intelligent adm inistrator.
Those who criticize the Boar.d's action as political are no
doubt motivated by political considerations themse lves . We
can only hope that this petty partisanship is forgotten soon
and does not affect Evans' term as president.
The second complaint about Evans. that the selection
process was shoddy and unfair, designed to choose him
alone, deserves more attention. The selection process was
unattractive: secretive, hasty, and unrepresentative. Those
who defend the selection process argue that in this case the
ends justify the means: Evans was such a perfect choice that
there was no need to follow the usual rrocedures. It may be
true that Evans was the best choice for the job, but under
the present circumstances no one will really know , since he
was allowed no real competition .
But the arguing over the selection process is now - if you
WIll pardon the expression - largely academic .
The president's job has three parts: public relations, administration, and educational policy. Everyone knows that
Evans is a PR godsend, and it can be assumed that he is at
least a fair administrator. What no one knows at this point
- because the selection process was so hasty - is what
Evans believes the school should be academically.
If Evans had been a normal candidate for the presidency,
he would have been asked many, many questions about his
educational views . (Well, better late than never, we always
say .) Evans should come to campus, make himself availabie
a.t a public meeting, and let Evergreeners ask him some questIOns.
Our suggestion for the first question : Would Evans allow
the circumventing of college hiring policy the way it wa s
CIrcumvented to hire him?

I am appalled at the use of
gasoline-guzzling machines to
blow leaves off sidewalks and
drives. What is the reason for
this? Is the noise alone worth the
"clean" effect this has?
I t seems to me that this is one
step too far. Why not just let the
leaves fall where they do. I think
it would only add beauty to a
good campus.
Richard Esteb
Elevated
Discourse
To the Editor:
It was nothing personal, you
understand, just an innocent attempt to raise the consciousness
of a few people here at the college toward energy awareness.
We'd tried it before at the University of Washington with a
mythical character we christened
Mitak Megawatt, admonishing
folks to be more careful of their
use of energy. Remember Good
Neighbor Nuke? We had Mitak
hovering above the light switches
over the water faucets that
dripped hot water down the
drain, and next to the elevator
buttons. I thought it might be
nice to resurrect the old guy and
put him back to use here at the
noble Evergreen, realizing, of
course, that the level of consciousness here is so high that I'd
only be addressing a few souls
out of two thousand. 1 even
changed Mitak's message a bit to
make it more reasonable, softer.
Use the stairs whenever possible.
I'm sorry to report that Mitak
is dead in LAB n. His lifespan
was about an hour on floors one
and three, and about four hours
on floor two. Someone found
this message offensive enough to
tear him from the doors, rip him
in pieces, and crumple him in the
nearby ashtrays. In a basement
confrontation, a faculty member
(who shall remain anonymous)
tried to bombard me with facts
about the mythical energy problem, saying that our consumption
of gasoline in automobiles and
energy in such things as elevators
made very little impact on the
eventual lifespan of fossil fuels,
that industry was the real culprit
and all our conservation would
mean nothing in the long run.
After delivering this message, he
pressed the button and rode the
elevator from the basement to
the first floor. I hope someday
his body forgives him his arrogance. Perhaps the people that
control industry began by always
riding the elevator when they
could have walked, always taking the car when they could have
bicycled, and always relying on
some form of mechanical, electrical. motor driven device when
their bodies cried for use.
As for our anonymous faculty
member's allegation that industry
is the main culprit of energy
abuse in the U.S., the most recent Science magazine (December 3, 1976) report on the subject
lists transportation as utilizing
25 % of the gross energy (excluding fuel exports) and automobile travel as roughly half of
that amount. As anyone with an
automobile can verify, much of
the travel done by car is trivial.
Homes utilize another 25 % of
the gross energy, most of that
going for heating. Industry of
various sorts utilizes 30 % to
40 %. During the "energy crisis"
of 1973, it was shown that by
cutting the consumption of fossil
fuels through more prudent automobile use by only 10 % to 15 %
was enough to make a significant
impact.
It was missing the point to
suppose I was naive enough to
think that more Spartan elevator
usage would save the world. The
point was that elevators for most
people, most of the time, are absurd uses of energy, especially in
three or four-story buildings. If
people are asked to think about
what they're doing more often
instead of taking our energy consumptive life-style for granted, it
might do some good.

This Is a Lecture
To the Editor:
I was sitting in Lecture Hall
One the other day feeling sorry
for myself when I decided to take
action. No one, I believe, should
have to go through the misery 1
must endure every week. Hence
this letter, which perhaps will do
some good.
A GUIDE TO LECTURERS:
1) DON'T RAMBLE
2) MAKE A POINT
3) DON'T BORE
4) DON'T WASTE OUR TIME
5) BE PREPARED
6) IS THIS LECTURE NECESSARY7
If these six simple points were
to suddenly appear on every
blackboard in the school, we'd
get some action . I have done my
part - now you do yours.

To the Editor :
I've about had it I Every time I
even mention Kittie Carlisle,
people grimace and act as though
I've sinned. My Godl What has
she ever done to deserve such
treatment1 I'll admit she's rarely
ever correct on her guesses, but
that's no reason to condemn her.
Even that slut Peggy Cass misses
occasionally.
Miss Carlisle dresses well, always has her hair looking nice,
and seems like a charming lady
in general. I like her. I would
even be proud to have her spend
a weekend In my home.

Glaciers Galore
To the Editor:
The Pacific Northwest, land of
volcanoes and wet snow. The
Cascades are not only notable
for their rainfall, but for extensive winter snow cover, too. Everyone knows about our rain.
The western slopes of the Cascades have rainfalls of between
80 and 100 inches yearly. ("That
ain't nothing," the' Olympics say .
With over 150 inches a year, they
got the Cascades beat hands
down.).
But how many folks know
about our snow? This year there
is quite a fuss about that white
stuff. 'Cause we haven't seen
much of it. In a lot of ways our
snowfall is more important than
our rainfall .
Seventy-seven percent of the
total glacier area in the U. S.
south of Alaska is found in our
Washington state. The North
Cascades and Mt. Rdinier are
definitely the prime stockholders
in this business . Mt. Rainier
alone holds 34 square miles of
ice (850 sq. km .). And with good
cause. The largest total snowfall
of anywhere in the world occurs
on Mt. Rainier. A couple years
back she pulled 1,121.4 inches of
snow out of the skyl Quite a
celebrity , 01' Tahoma.
The Cascades have the most
glaciers, densest and most magnificent forests, and least disturbed wilderness in our contiguous states. Their contrasts can
be quite sublime, with a range of
subtle and strong earth colors
emanating from the great variety
of vegetation, the dark forest
shadows, the myriad rock formations of the alpine regions.
Did you ever realize that you
are smack dab in the midst of all
this wonderful country7 The hills
are barely hours away from campus. The snows are a'comin'. A
winter wonderland awaits the
adventurous ones. Take a break
and pull the stakes. Hike the
trails and swim the lakes. A little time is all it takes. A world of
wind and snow awaits.
This plug for the Cascade
mountains has been brought to
you by The Evergreen Alpine
Club.

To the Editor:
Re: CPj Vol. 5, No.8, Dec. 2,
1976, "You Must See 'Hearts and
Minds'"
"What life has taught me I
would like to share with those
who want to learn ... Until the
philosophy which holds one race
superior and another inferior is
finally and permanently discredited and abandoned; that until
there are no longer first class and
second class citizens ' of any nation ; until the color of a man's
skin is of no more significance
than the color 'of his eyes; that
until the basic human rights are
equally guaranteed to all, without regard to race; that until that
day, the dream of lasting peace,
world citizenship and the rule of
international morality will remain in but a fleeting illusion to
be pursued, but never attained;
and until the ignoble and unhappy regime that now holds our
brothers in Angola, in Mozambique, South Africa in sub-human
bondage, have been toppled utterly destroyed; until that day
the African continent will not
know peace. We Africans will
fight, if necessary, and we know
we shall win as we are confident
in the victory of good over evil,
of good over evil."
- A speech by H.LM. Haile
Selassie I in California, 28 Febru-
ary 1968. Similarly applied to
Indochina we can clearly see that
what truth is is PEACE, for no

Questions
for Evans
GET YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS AT
The decision of the Board of Trustees to appoint former
governor Dan Evans to succeed Evergreen President Charles
McCann has received two distinct types of criticism from
two distinct groups. Faculty and students have complained
about the method of Evans' selection, while members of the
outside community have complained about an apparent conflict of interest.
The charges of "cronyism" and conflict of interest can b:
disposed of most readily. Those who raise this complaint
claIm that because Evans appointed the members of the
Board of Trustees, their appointment of him as president is
suspect. The Daily Olympian, Shelton Mason County Journal and State Senator A. L. Rasmussen of Tacoma are among
those who have voiced disapproval on these grounds.
It is true that Evans appointed the Board of Trustees . but
during his twelve years as governor he made hundreds of
appointments affecting not only higher education but a lm ost
all segments of the state government. Likewise, Evans has
had his hand in countless budget decisions, pronouncements,
and legislative. maneuvering that leave little of the present
state government free of his fingerprints . He was governor ;
it was his job.
If Evans had decided not to take a position in Washington
state, there would have been no controversy. But give n his
decision to stay within the state, problems seem inevitable .
Certainly the Board was not acting out of political considerations. It seems unlikely that Evans could not have found a
more prestigious or better paying job if he had wanted. His
willingness to serve as Evergreen's president was welcomed
by the Board not because they owed it to him , but because
he has shown himself to be extremely popular within the "
state, and an able and intelligent adm inistrator.
Those who criticize the Boar.d's action as political are no
doubt motivated by political considerations themse lves . We
can only hope that this petty partisanship is forgotten soon
and does not affect Evans' term as president.
The second complaint about Evans. that the selection
process was shoddy and unfair, designed to choose him
alone, deserves more attention. The selection process was
unattractive: secretive, hasty, and unrepresentative. Those
who defend the selection process argue that in this case the
ends justify the means: Evans was such a perfect choice that
there was no need to follow the usual rrocedures. It may be
true that Evans was the best choice for the job, but under
the present circumstances no one will really know , since he
was allowed no real competition .
But the arguing over the selection process is now - if you
WIll pardon the expression - largely academic .
The president's job has three parts: public relations, administration, and educational policy. Everyone knows that
Evans is a PR godsend, and it can be assumed that he is at
least a fair administrator. What no one knows at this point
- because the selection process was so hasty - is what
Evans believes the school should be academically.
If Evans had been a normal candidate for the presidency,
he would have been asked many, many questions about his
educational views . (Well, better late than never, we always
say .) Evans should come to campus, make himself availabie
a.t a public meeting, and let Evergreeners ask him some questIOns.
Our suggestion for the first question : Would Evans allow
the circumventing of college hiring policy the way it wa s
CIrcumvented to hire him?

a press c n
"If the Evergreen ta: e
board of trustees asks me
the college I will accept."
PRESS REACTS
The appo in cment of Governor Dan
Evans to Evergree n's presidency received a gener .lllv warm reaction from
loca l newspaper ~, but more than one
ed it o rial noted a possible conf lict of interest.
The Seattle Post-lntelligencer ran an
article full of favorable reactions from
ot her co llege and uni '/ersity presidents
and , in a sepa rate ed :torial praised the
ch(lice " Li ke Amy Carter a nd lemonaJe . like gin and vermouth , like ham
n e~;g s , Governor Dan Evans and Evergree n State College seem meant for
rac h o th er ... " The editorial did not
mak e clear whether it was Evergreen
",'hich was lemonade-like and Evans
",h 0 was like Amy Ca rt er or vice versa , but no matter.
The Lacey Leader, noting the P -I edit<'rJal. ag reed that the choice of Evans
\\' <1 5 a "natu Ja!. " They also praised Evan s a s a ma:1 of " high quality , dedica tit," and ex )'er ien ce. "
T ''''' new;papers , the Shelton Mason
Cou nty Journal and the Daily Olympian IVe re less impressed with thE"
, i", icc' . All of the present Board of
TJ""I f'es were appointed by Evans ; as
,J '·,·,ul!. hiS selection as president rai sed
th o j,"s'ibility ot' conflict o f interest.
The Shelton Mason County Journal
- which is usually fair with Evergreen
and tough on elected officials - ran a
satirical article about Evans's job transfer. " In no more time than it takes to
say' incest' he I Evans I was offered the
presidency of The Evergreen State College," the article sta ted , It then went
on to list Evans's "qualifications,"
Among these were: "He is loyal - ask
Richard Nixon, He is on a first name
basis with Jimmy Carter. He's a nice
guy."
With startling vindictiveness, the
Daily Olympian attacked both the
choice of Evans and Evergreen. The
newspaper has lo ng been a bitter foe of
Evergreen's experimental program.
"The naming of Evergreen's library
after the governor raised an eyebrow
or two around the state," a December
23 editorial groused, "as will his hiring
by a board of trustees, all of whom are
Evans's appointees. While this may not
constitute conflict of interest, it smacks
of flagrant cronyism,
"
, This appointment," the editorial concluded , "if it comes to pass,
promises no benefit to the taxpaye rs of
this state who already have invested
nt'arly $100 million in The Evergreen
State Coll ege and have yet to find out
.'xac tl y what they have bo ught for
their money. "
continued from page 1
kind of 'set up' - that I Evans is I the person that's going tl) be picked, then it doesn't appear that this selection process is fair. It doesn't appear that many candidates have been reviewed, that Affirmative Action has
been applied in the process, and I think this could
have a very disruptive effect on the community, , ."
Trustee Herb Hadley's reply: " . . .'Is this a Dan
Evans Search Committee? ' I have been terribly honest
and I can honestly say, without any hesitation, it was
a unanimous decision of the Board to contact the
Governor, relative to his availability . I can honestly
say that the Governor has not indicated his willing ness to serve, and can say no more than that. That's
the truth. I'm proud to be able to say it. There's nothing hidden, That's not Evergreen philosophy. "
The committee and its procedures were approved
with minor changes by the Trustees,
Evans was still evasive about his plans in early December. He said he was considering an "exotic" position, but wouldn't say more. "I have neither accepted
nor rejected" the offer to be Evergreen's president, he
said.
In early December the trustees asked potential search
committee members one at a time what they · would
think if . the committee's operational procedures were
set aside and Evans was just offered the job. Trustees
Hal Halverson and Herb Hadley pushed this idea
strongly. Some potential committee members did not
like the idea at all.
On December 20 in the evening Evans called Herb
Hadley to say he wanted the job. Hadley called student committee member Bud Cook the following evenmg (December 21), and told him of Evans' phone call
the night before. Hadley expressed concern that Cook
and Hunt (the other student member) might think
they were being railroaded by such a surprise move .
The December 22 meeting was full of surprises. A
reporter from the COOPER POINT JOURNAL was
barred from the meeting, which began a little after 10
a.m. The members began by introdUCing themselves,
Bud Cook was the first to speak and he said he was
afraid that the committee was no more than a rubber
sta mp for the trustees' decision made months earlier.
A few other committee members agreed at first. Then
Ben Wolfe and ,Helen Hannigan introduced a printed
survey of the staff in which 7S % favored Dan Evans
for president.
Two other potential candidates were brought up at
this time. One was a black administrator from the
Chicago area and the other was a prominent black
legislator from the south. The faculty member and exempt staff member who brought up the names tabled
them in favor of Evans,
The committee discussed Evans until almost noon.
Herb Hadley and Tom Dixon insisted that the decision had to be made that day , Just before noon it was
suggested that Evans meet the committee that day ,
and Hadley left the room and returned quickly to say
that Evans would be coming soon, "The Governor for
the first time in the history of the state answered his
own phone," Maxine Mimms said later.
Evans arrived around 1 :00 p,m . and talked to the
committee until around 3: 30. Questioning went around the table and many subjects were raised.
Four maior points were brought out in Evans' favor
during the day :
First, it was estimated that enrollment would increase by 1,000 students because of Evans' association
with the college, The faculty liked that because it
meant they would be released from irksome recruiting
duties.
Second, it was projected that hundreds of thousands
of dollars in funds would be contributed from various
sources if Evans were president.
Third, Evans' state record in Affirmative Action is
one of the best in the nation for a state governor, and
with two anticipated administrative resignatio!).s at
Evergreen coming in the next year, the committee was
satisfied that Evans would take special moves to have
women or minorities fill these positions.
Fourth , Evans is committed to improving the image
of Evergreen within the state. The committee agreed
that Evergreen's reputation out-of-state was good, but
th at its local reputation was quite poor. Evans convinced the committee that he had the connections and
the know-how to improve Evergreen's image.
Evans informed the committee that he had been of-
fered positions at other colleges, He told the committee he did not want to commit himself to such specif ics as faculty and hiring policies until he actually began to work with President McCann, He admitted a
lack of knowledge in certain areas, such as problems
in working conditions at Evergreen.
When Evans left the room Ben Wolfe almost immediately proposed that Dan Evans be elected unanimously . The two student members were the only dissenters, and after much pressure, they gave in and
voted yes. Some faculty members on the committee
suggested the students were playing "crybaby" roles
by not going along.
A
fter the meeting some committee members
asked Colleen Hunt if she were afraid of
p~ysical Violence from students unhappy
With her vote. Hunt and Cook were astonIshed by this concern.
At the crowded Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, January 11, Evans was approved. Bud Cook read
a statement of protest to the board, which received
applause from members of the audience .
Asked at a December 23 press conference about
change at Evergreen, Evans said, " ) think one of the
attributes of Evergreen since its inception is that they
have not been static. They have changed and they
have tried new things. And occasionally when they
don't work very well, they back off and try something
else. But I believe Evergreen has lived up to the charge
it was given when it was started. And that is to be a
different kind of college . . . I think Evergreen has
been immensely successful. If there is a problem right
now, one which I think I can help alleviate , it is that
Evergreen has a national and even an international
reputation , well understood and respected by higher
educational experts all over the country and in other
parts of the world . I am not sure that the Evergreen
story is as well known or as well understood in out
own state, among the community leadership, among
some of those who are providing counseling and di rection to students in high school. But I think that
o nce the story is told, we are going to have to bar the
doors ."
FACULTY' COMMENTS
Faculty reactions to the Evans selection
centered on the process, not the man. In a
meeting optimistically scheduled in lecture
Hall 5 Tuesday, January 11, at noon ,
about twelve members of the faculty gathered to discuss their feelings about the December 22 selection committee meeting,
Richard Jones , a member of the selection committee, described the beginning of
the meeting, the stack of papers awaiting
them , and the sudden word that Evans
was interested in the job. " It was remarkable that we could call the Governor at
12:01 and he could be here by 1:00," he
said , Jones defended the committee's
speedy recommendation, citing its fear of
losing so qualified a candidate. "With such
an exceedingly good bird in the hand," he
quipped, "we didn't need to go around
beating bushes." He went on to say how
fully Evans satisfied his questions about
his qualifications to head an educational
institution.
Linda Kahan, also a committee member,
added tnat the Evans recommendation was
clearly the most practical decision . "It
would have been a farce to search for anyone else, say to round up five other candidates, when we know the Board of Trustees would choose Evans anyway. "
Tom Rainey was critical of the process
and voiced three concerns. "First," he said,
"when only one person is examined, yo u
really don't know if he is best. Second, in
the process of sea rching , some evidence
may have come out about Evans that may
have ca used second considerations. And .
third, o n the face , there's a clear violation
of affirma'tive action."
Richard Jones responded by stating that
Rindetta Jones, the college affirmative ac ·
tion officer and a se lection comm ittee
member , said that Evans did not represen t
an affirmative action violation . Her feel ing , he reported , was that Evans ' affirma tive action record was so good, he cou ld
help the co llege's program more than an y ·
one else might .
Questions were raised about the poss ibility that the Evans decision would se t a
bad precedent , all o wing people in the fu ture to skirt process and hire other apparently exceptional people with ou t fa ir antI
careful deliberation .
Richard Jones sa id , " The ma jo rit y sa"
Evans as a gift from heaven ."
. Other questions were raised abou t the
desirability of so meone with more exper ience in alternative education than Evans .
Richard Jones said he fo und Evans su rp rlS'
ingly well-informed abou t the co llege and
its experiment.
Linda Kahan no ted t hat the community
probably wouldn ' t want a person of idea s
to come in and change things to his or her
way. " Merv Cadwallader had a lot of
ideas, and they fought him every step ."
she said. "The question on m y mind wa s :
Is he goi ng to be a good president or not 7
I felt sat isf ied. I think he's goi ng to be a
terrific preside nt ."
The meeting closed with jokes about
how quickly Evans arrived. a nd t eac h er~
wandered back to th eir normal activities.

V",t tn Main land C hina) it is bee .HISt· Daniel Ja ckso n Evans has a
r"l' utatiL'n for being more than
, lJ\ ,lv erage poli ti cian.
His most
t'Jlduri n~ /tickname-, "S traight Ar -
r ow," refers to his integrity
through twelve years as governor
of Washington and eight years in
the state legislature.
Evans, 51, is a lifelong Republi ca n - but a liberal Republican,
one of th e very few left. In June
1974 , while Richard Ni xo n was
on a final image-bolstering trip
to Egypt. less than two months
before he was forced to resign,
Evans called for "amnesty" for
Nixon. This action alone linked
Evans with the Watergate cover ups in some people's minds, despite the fact that Evans obviously had no connection with
the national crimes.
In so me ways , the poorly timed
amnesty cal l was typ ical of
Evans's activities in the nati ona l
a rena: honest. si nce re , and politically ill-advised. He endorsed
Rockefeller, for instance, just before the Republican National
Co nventi on chose Nixon in 1968.
Eva ns was born October 16,
1925 in Seattle, and went to
Roosevelt High School there . His
parents were better off than most
during the Depression; his father ,
an engineer. During high school
Evans won his first elective office : vice-president of the sophomo re class, and became an Eagle
Scout. In his yearbook , a lo ngside hi s name. it s written, " Da n
wants to climb Mo unt Everest."
After graduat in g from hi g h
~c hool in 1943, he joi ned th e U.S.
Naval Reserve, and se rved a s an
Ensign aboa rd a n aircraft ca rri er
in th e Pacific. In 1946 he returned
to civ ilian life and the University
of Washington where he picked
up a B. S. in civil engineering by
1948, and an M.S. in 1949.
It was about thi s time that
Evan s first became involved in
politics. At a friend' s urging ,
Evans became a Republican King
Co unt y ca ucus member , suppo rting presidential ca ndida te Harold
Sta ssen over the even tual nom inee Thomas Dewey .
In 1951 he wa s recalled to ac tive duty to fight in Korea. He
served as an opera tions off icer at
the rank of Lieutenant, and was
la ter an aide to Admiral William
K. Mendenhall at the peace negotiatio ns in Panmunjom .
Evans - so the story goes told his boss that he was going
to quit the Navy and run for
public office back in the States.
Mendenhall wanted Evans to stay
on, but Evans replied: "The political business at ho me is a dirty
business and I think I can clean
it up ."
In 1956 Evans was elected to
his first public office, State Representative from the 43rd district
in Seattle. At the time the 43rd
was a so lidly conservative Republican district, and throughout
his term as State Representative,
Eva ns had a reputation for being
a co nse rva tive Republi ca n him self
In 1959 . Dan Evans marrieJ
Nancy Bell. and ha s si nce had
three children with her: all boys
now bet ween the ages of 10
and 16.
By 196') Evans had risen to the
post of Republican Fl oo r Leader
of the Hou se, a job which he
held unt il he wa s elected Governor in 1964. He fought a tough
campaign aga inst incu mbent Alber! Rosellini , who was running
fo r his third term. At the time
Evans was not much of a politi(al extrovert, being described as
having the public charm of a
"cold halibut " and earning the
nickname "Old Gluefoot" because of his ina bility to socia lize
with crowds. Even recently the
Governor ha ~ been described as
an " introvert ," " bookish," and
someone who is "cool as ice
when under pressure ."
He won the governorship in
1964, again in 1968, and became
the only governor in the state's
history to be elected to a third
term in 1972. In fact, Evans has
never lost an election.
Once Evans became governor,
he seemed to shift from a conservative to a more liberal stance,
advocating - most controversially - a state income tax, something which he had campaigned
only months earlier against.
In 1965 Evans gained national
attention, and dismayed local
conservatives, by inviting the
John Birch Society to leave the
Republican Party. "There's no
p lace in this party for fa lse
prophets, phony philosophers,
the professional bigots or destroyers. " At the time, in the
wake o f arc h- co nservat ive Barry
Go ldwater's presidential nomina tion and defeat , the Birch Society
wa s still a major force in the Republican Party. Evans 's stand
firmly a ligned him with the lib era l Rockefeller-lindsay branch
of the party.
In 1967 the state legi sla tu re
ma ndated the building of a new
four-yea r college in Washington.
Evans made the first and all subse quent appointments to the
Board of Trustees. He also had a
hand in insuring that the embryo nic college - which, of course,
was to be Evergreen - would be
an "alternative" school.
By 1968 Evans had gained
enoug h prominence within the
party to be Keynote Speaker at
the Republican convention . Evans
endorsed Rockefeller just before
the convention, but it was already clear that Nixon would be
the nominee. The los Angeles
Times commented on the keynote speech, saying "The consensus among veteran conventiongoers was that he delivered perhaps the best keynote address of
recent years . Devoid of political
cliches, it delineated sharply
America's current troubles."
In the speech , Evans voiced
disapproval of the Vietnam War,
but did not go so far as to advocate a unilateral withdrawal of
troops. "To have entered the war
by the path of error," he said,
" does not mean that we can now
leave thro ugh the door of defaul I. "
Time magazine featured Evans
o n its August 2, 1968 cove r as a
resu lt of hi s participation at the
Republican Nati o nal Convention.
In an article titled , "Loner from
Olympia, " Time praised Evans
as one of a new breed of Repub licans.
During Evans's second term , a
major reorga nization of th e state
government was undertaken , resulting in a super-department of
Social and Health Services (the
people who give out food stamps,
and in the first Department of
Ecology in the country.
The governor has long had a
Ken nedyesque reputat ion for
physical fitness and a concern for 0
the environment. He jogs regularl y, skis, and mountain -climbs.
In 1971 Evans became involved
in the only real scandal o f his
administration , when some liquor
control board members were accused of accepting excessive gifts
from liquor manufacturers,
Ever-witty Evans stated: 'Tm
taking the Fifth . . . " as he
showed an empty liquor bottle to
the press.
During his third term, many
people thought , Evans paid more
attention to national politics than
to state issues, With the ouster of
Spiro Agnew, and then Richard
Nixon , there was almost continual speculation thilt Evans would
be offered either the Vice-Presi dency, or, later, a Cabinet post.
In the summer of 1973, after a
three -week vacation on Orcas
Island , Evans surprised everyone
by returning to Olympia with a
beard . Despite the small storm of
controversy the hair caused,
Evans kept the beard well into
1974.
During the same year, Evans
became chairman of the National
Governors' Conference. According to Argus' magazine, Evans
was one of the most active chair men the conference had had. He
reorganized the staff structure of
the conference, giv ing it more
lobbying power in Washington.
He also campa ign t·J for .1 ":'-lew

that Evans was intereste d in Ev ergreen 's presidency . The po sition was finally unanim o usly of fered to him by the presidential
search co mmittee on Dece mber

In a sta tem en t to repo rters
Eva ns said , " It would be a tre mendous chal lenge to me .
to

In the five month interim be fore assuming outgoing President

THE REAL
BABY
by Brad Pokorny
Each January the Daily Olympian holds a First Baby of the
Year contest . The first child born
in Thurston or Mason County
wins a number of prizes donated
by local merchants. Two dozen
diapers, a case of Gerber's strained baby food, a pair of infant
auto seats, a free wheel alignment, a rocking chair and a
baby's high chair, a transistor
radio, a case of Pepsi-Cola, and
two free steak dinners for Mom
and Dad complete only part of
the list that the lucky tot receives.
At 8:55 a.m. on New Year's
Day, Eric Dean Roberson was
born at Saint Peter Hospital, the
first child of the new year. The
hospital promptly reported the
birth to the Daily Olympian.
Twelve hours later, at about
8:30 p.m ., Nicole Schuneman
was born the second baby of the
year. This, too, was reported to
the Daily Olympian.
The first baby's mother, Vicki
Roberson , 27, is not married. Nicole's parents are . The Daily Olympian has a policy of not
printing information about children born out of wedlock, so Nicole Schuneman won the contest.
A birth announcement with Eric's
name was not even printed.
"( don 't care about the prizes,"
says Vicki Roberson, the first
baby's mother, "I just want my
baby to have the credit that he
was the first baby born."
The community was quick to
react. KAOS-FM broke the story
of the Daily Olympian's confusion, and the local chapter of the
National Organization of Women
began putting pressure on the
Olympia newspaper to change its
policy. Karen McAndrew, CoPresident of Olympia NOW said,
"The recogni'tipn of the first birth
is a symbolic .o ne, and the marital status of the mother has nothing to do with the joy of a new
child coming into the world."

On Tuesday, January 4, the
Daily Olympian reiterated its
policy on unwed mothers, but
they admitted that a baby had
been born before the arrival of
Nicole Schuneman, and they
promised to duplicate the gifts.
But they did not print the real
first baby's name.
Readers wrote letters to the
paper, but the publisher, James
E. Lewis, refused to print them.
Linda Roberson, the mother's sister-in-law, called New York and
reached an executive of the Gannett News Service, of which the
Daily Olympian is a member,
who said he knew Lewis, Ms,
Roberson related the story to the
executive, and he told her he
would call Lewis and mention
the problem to him. He was dismayed that the Olympian would
not print the letters to the editor.
Last Sunday, January 9, the
Daily Olympian ran two letters
in favor of giving Eric Roberson
" his due credit. But his identity
, was still not revealed, His ' name
was, however, mentioned in Big
Bear, California, among other
places, for the Associated Press
had run the story on its national
wire .
McAndrews continued her dia logue with Lewis, trying to win
for children born of single parents in Thurston and Mason
Counties the right of acknowledgment. She says, "We were
talking, going around and around, when ( said, 'I'd love for
you to tell me why you have that
policy on unwed mothers,' And
he said something to the effect
'A bastard is a bastard.' Yes, he
did use that word ." It was re ported that Lewis feels <IIFlajority
of the community stands essentially the same way.
Monday evening, in a brief telephone convers<:tion wi th the
COOPER POINT JOURNAL ,
Lewis said, "As far as I'm concerned, there is no controversy.
We've printed our statement and
that's it. " When asked how much
community pressure it would
take to make the Daily Olympian
change its policy, he replied , "No
idea. "
Ms . Roberson still has not received any of the gifts promised
by the Daily Olympian.

On December 22 the Evergreen Presidential Search Committee
met for seven hours, including a question-and-answer session with
Governor Dan Evans, and voted unanimously to approve Evans
as the next President of this college . This important. decision was
made by a committee representing students, facuity, staff, administrators, area community members, and the Board of Trustees, or
so it seems.
The facts as stated above are essentially true, but presented in
that simple form they obscure a more important and fundamental
fact underlying the decision to accept Evans and most other significant choices made at Evergreen. The decision-making process
at Evergreen involves two groups of people : those who make decisions and those who are affected by decisions.
The recent discussions and re-evaluation of the campus governance document by the COG III DTF has made abundantly clear
that all decisions are subject to consideration at the administrative
level and administrators are directly responsible to the Board of
Trustees (all of whom, inCidentally, were appointed by Dan Evans).
On the other side of the coin, those affected by decisions at Evergreen are the people who study and work here. They are students,
faculty, and staff, including administrators.
This basic relationship between the governed and the governors
is often obscured by a campus governance system in which the decision-makers ask the people affected for input through committees and DTFs. The process for selecting a new president was a
significant example of a decision being made by the Trustees. while
the people who would be affected by that decision were handed a
role that was deceptively important.
To bear this out, let us follow the presidential selection process
from the beginning. On September 15th President McCann announced during a meeting with faculty that he would resign after
this academic year. Academic Dean Will Humphreys asked some
faculty members to meet with McCann about his successor . McCann called the Board of Trustees, asking about the Presidential
Search Committee. The Trustees replied that they had not yet considered the involvement of the community in choosing a new president. They had already offered the iob to Evans, but because he
didn't accept immediately, the Board decided to set up a Search
Committee like the one they had in 1967.
During the first week of October, the faculty elected six people
to meet with the Trustees about the search committee. The staff
followed a similar procedure. On November 18 Trustees Herb
Hadley and Tom Dixon met with some students from the Wednesday Student Forum, This was the first time students were given an
idea of their role on the Presidential Selection Committee (maybe
a mistake that they didn't have their own idea of that role earlier),
Also on the 18th, Trustees met with representatives of faculty and
staff to discuss composition of the committee and the procedure it
should follow. Rough drafts of selection procedures for a new
president were handed out for comments from the community,
The Wednesday Student Forum publicized the opportunity for
students to become involved in the presidential search. On December 1st the Forum heard students discuss why they were interested in serving on the Presidential Search Committee. Six students
with concerns for open hiring, academic development, and humane
institutional structures were selected to meet with the trustees.
On December 8th, Trustees Halvorsen and Hadley met individually with two student representatives suggesting that the search
be set aside and they go downtown to meet with and offer the job
to the governor. This was reported to other students who on the
following day attended a Board of Trustees meeting and confronted
the Board with the question of offering the job to Evans without
completing the search process.
Herb Hadley candidly answered that the Board had already
asked Evans and, had he accepted, there would have been no
search committee . The Board went on to finalize the make-up of
the search committee and the procedure for choosing the new president, adding a "short circuit clause," That clause providing that if
an outstanding candidate made himself available, the committee,
by a majority vote, could forward that name to the Board of Trustees for approval.
On December 22, the "short circuit clause" was utilized, and
even the student members of the Search Committee bowed to the
pressure of an intense meeting with high officials. The students
were expecting to be involved in a long and important search and
evaluation process. When the Search Committee finally met, they
were confronted by the Board of Trustees moving 90 mph with
their candidate, Evans. Under those circumstances, it was difficult
(particularly for students) to cast a dissenting vote . So in the end,
Evans received unanimous approval.
The first and last meeting of the Presidential Search Committe~
happened in the Board Room of the college while the great majority
of the college community was away on vacation. This is symbolic
of the reality that the decision to select Evans as the next president
was made without the real involvement of those people who will
be affected. We don't deny that Evans may have a positive impact
on some aspects of Evergreen's business, but we insist that his selection was arbitrary, and further, the actual decision-making was
hidden by the belief that the Search Committee would have an important function .

THE REAL
BABY
by Brad Pokorny
Each January the Daily Olympian holds a First Baby of the
Year contest . The first child born
in Thurston or Mason County
wins a number of prizes donated
by local merchants. Two dozen
diapers, a case of Gerber's strained baby food, a pair of infant
auto seats, a free wheel alignment, a rocking chair and a
baby's high chair, a transistor
radio, a case of Pepsi-Cola, and
two free steak dinners for Mom
and Dad complete only part of
the list that the lucky tot receives.
At 8:55 a.m. on New Year's
Day, Eric Dean Roberson was
born at Saint Peter Hospital, the
first child of the new year. The
hospital promptly reported the
birth to the Daily Olympian.
Twelve hours later, at about
8:30 p.m ., Nicole Schuneman
was born the second baby of the
year. This, too, was reported to
the Daily Olympian.
The first baby's mother, Vicki
Roberson , 27, is not married. Nicole's parents are . The Daily Olympian has a policy of not
printing information about children born out of wedlock, so Nicole Schuneman won the contest.
A birth announcement with Eric's
name was not even printed.
"( don 't care about the prizes,"
says Vicki Roberson, the first
baby's mother, "I just want my
baby to have the credit that he
was the first baby born."
The community was quick to
react. KAOS-FM broke the story
of the Daily Olympian's confusion, and the local chapter of the
National Organization of Women
began putting pressure on the
Olympia newspaper to change its
policy. Karen McAndrew, CoPresident of Olympia NOW said,
"The recogni'tipn of the first birth
is a symbolic .o ne, and the marital status of the mother has nothing to do with the joy of a new
child coming into the world."

On Tuesday, January 4, the
Daily Olympian reiterated its
policy on unwed mothers, but
they admitted that a baby had
been born before the arrival of
Nicole Schuneman, and they
promised to duplicate the gifts.
But they did not print the real
first baby's name.
Readers wrote letters to the
paper, but the publisher, James
E. Lewis, refused to print them.
Linda Roberson, the mother's sister-in-law, called New York and
reached an executive of the Gannett News Service, of which the
Daily Olympian is a member,
who said he knew Lewis, Ms,
Roberson related the story to the
executive, and he told her he
would call Lewis and mention
the problem to him. He was dismayed that the Olympian would
not print the letters to the editor.
Last Sunday, January 9, the
Daily Olympian ran two letters
in favor of giving Eric Roberson
" his due credit. But his identity
, was still not revealed, His ' name
was, however, mentioned in Big
Bear, California, among other
places, for the Associated Press
had run the story on its national
wire .
McAndrews continued her dia logue with Lewis, trying to win
for children born of single parents in Thurston and Mason
Counties the right of acknowledgment. She says, "We were
talking, going around and around, when ( said, 'I'd love for
you to tell me why you have that
policy on unwed mothers,' And
he said something to the effect
'A bastard is a bastard.' Yes, he
did use that word ." It was re ported that Lewis feels <IIFlajority
of the community stands essentially the same way.
Monday evening, in a brief telephone convers<:tion wi th the
COOPER POINT JOURNAL ,
Lewis said, "As far as I'm concerned, there is no controversy.
We've printed our statement and
that's it. " When asked how much
community pressure it would
take to make the Daily Olympian
change its policy, he replied , "No
idea. "
Ms . Roberson still has not received any of the gifts promised
by the Daily Olympian.

On December 22 the Evergreen Presidential Search Committee
met for seven hours, including a question-and-answer session with
Governor Dan Evans, and voted unanimously to approve Evans
as the next President of this college . This important. decision was
made by a committee representing students, facuity, staff, administrators, area community members, and the Board of Trustees, or
so it seems.
The facts as stated above are essentially true, but presented in
that simple form they obscure a more important and fundamental
fact underlying the decision to accept Evans and most other significant choices made at Evergreen. The decision-making process
at Evergreen involves two groups of people : those who make decisions and those who are affected by decisions.
The recent discussions and re-evaluation of the campus governance document by the COG III DTF has made abundantly clear
that all decisions are subject to consideration at the administrative
level and administrators are directly responsible to the Board of
Trustees (all of whom, inCidentally, were appointed by Dan Evans).
On the other side of the coin, those affected by decisions at Evergreen are the people who study and work here. They are students,
faculty, and staff, including administrators.
This basic relationship between the governed and the governors
is often obscured by a campus governance system in which the decision-makers ask the people affected for input through committees and DTFs. The process for selecting a new president was a
significant example of a decision being made by the Trustees. while
the people who would be affected by that decision were handed a
role that was deceptively important.
To bear this out, let us follow the presidential selection process
from the beginning. On September 15th President McCann announced during a meeting with faculty that he would resign after
this academic year. Academic Dean Will Humphreys asked some
faculty members to meet with McCann about his successor . McCann called the Board of Trustees, asking about the Presidential
Search Committee. The Trustees replied that they had not yet considered the involvement of the community in choosing a new president. They had already offered the iob to Evans, but because he
didn't accept immediately, the Board decided to set up a Search
Committee like the one they had in 1967.
During the first week of October, the faculty elected six people
to meet with the Trustees about the search committee. The staff
followed a similar procedure. On November 18 Trustees Herb
Hadley and Tom Dixon met with some students from the Wednesday Student Forum, This was the first time students were given an
idea of their role on the Presidential Selection Committee (maybe
a mistake that they didn't have their own idea of that role earlier),
Also on the 18th, Trustees met with representatives of faculty and
staff to discuss composition of the committee and the procedure it
should follow. Rough drafts of selection procedures for a new
president were handed out for comments from the community,
The Wednesday Student Forum publicized the opportunity for
students to become involved in the presidential search. On December 1st the Forum heard students discuss why they were interested in serving on the Presidential Search Committee. Six students
with concerns for open hiring, academic development, and humane
institutional structures were selected to meet with the trustees.
On December 8th, Trustees Halvorsen and Hadley met individually with two student representatives suggesting that the search
be set aside and they go downtown to meet with and offer the job
to the governor. This was reported to other students who on the
following day attended a Board of Trustees meeting and confronted
the Board with the question of offering the job to Evans without
completing the search process.
Herb Hadley candidly answered that the Board had already
asked Evans and, had he accepted, there would have been no
search committee . The Board went on to finalize the make-up of
the search committee and the procedure for choosing the new president, adding a "short circuit clause," That clause providing that if
an outstanding candidate made himself available, the committee,
by a majority vote, could forward that name to the Board of Trustees for approval.
On December 22, the "short circuit clause" was utilized, and
even the student members of the Search Committee bowed to the
pressure of an intense meeting with high officials. The students
were expecting to be involved in a long and important search and
evaluation process. When the Search Committee finally met, they
were confronted by the Board of Trustees moving 90 mph with
their candidate, Evans. Under those circumstances, it was difficult
(particularly for students) to cast a dissenting vote . So in the end,
Evans received unanimous approval.
The first and last meeting of the Presidential Search Committe~
happened in the Board Room of the college while the great majority
of the college community was away on vacation. This is symbolic
of the reality that the decision to select Evans as the next president
was made without the real involvement of those people who will
be affected. We don't deny that Evans may have a positive impact
on some aspects of Evergreen's business, but we insist that his selection was arbitrary, and further, the actual decision-making was
hidden by the belief that the Search Committee would have an important function .

a nd supplement are special because they show in the m ost concrete form yet the results of the
Long -Range Curriculum Planning
DTF which met last year.
Instead of the old, largely arbitrary division of programs into
Beginning, Divisional, Intermedi ate and Advanced, the college
now has
.
Beginning, Annual and Interdisciplinary Specialization programs.
The Annuals programs are the
least self-explanatory. They are
designed to be experimental or to
fulfill special, transitory, needs.
Like all Evergreen programs once
were, these Annual programs will
be redesigned from scratch each
year.
Each of the nine areas of specialization has four or five programs, most of which, like the
very successful FONS (Foundations of Natural Science) - will
repeat from year to year.
The new catalog is the bestlooking one yet , although some
people may consider it unduly
slick . Like most catalogs, ours IS
optimistic, if not deceptive. We
wan t minority students at Evergrt'en. To attract them, we print
a disproportionate number of
photographs of non - whites. The
result was considered deceptive
by student April ' West , who
wrote an 'angry letter to Dean of
Enrollment Services, Larry Stenberg, and sent a copy to our office.
But , like an employment resu-me , the catalog is supposed to be
optimistic, sunshinier than real
life. Another instance of this is in
the "sample student" listing of
courses of study. It's a regular
feature in our catalogs. a substitute for course requirements and
a reassurance to those who a re
confused by~ policy of no t
askin g for declared majors. This
year five of the eight sample stu dents listed were said to be from
Washington high schools. This is
a percentage of about 62.5. In
fact , only about 16 % of Evergreen's incoming students are
from state high schools. Th,s IS a
continuing problem for the school
and no doubt the optimism in the
catalog was meant to be something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
StilL it might be considered de ceptive .
The Supplement - which is a
listing of next year's offerings is quite concrete . If it isn't in the
supplement. it won't be at Evergreen . Although I will not be
around, I have still chosen a fav orite program for myself. It's
called, "14,000 BC (A Program
in Increasing Imagination)" and
will be coordinated by Susan
Aurand.
The reason I like this basic program is its absurd program description, from which I quote :
ood
"Very few people today know
anything about this topic. Even
the people who know something
about it know almost nothing
about it. It is quite probable that
no matter what happens now or
in the fu ture no one will ever
know very much about this topic

Music for Women Only
by Karrie Jacobs
Music by women and for women is the main product of Olivia
records , a Los Angeles-based col lectively-run firm . It was started
in 1973 by ten women whose
goals were to make women's music, to provide talented womanoriented musicians with access to
the recording industry and control over their music , to provide
training for women in all aspects
of the recording industry, and to
provide jobs for large numbers.of
women, with reasonable sa lanes
and in unoppressive situations.
The Olivia collective currently
.consists of eight women, two of
whom, Meg Christian and Teresa
Trull, appeared in concert last
Sunday night on the Evergreen
campus.
The concert was sponsored by
the Evergreen Women's Center,
which was responsible for putting
out the necessary advertising for
the event. Unfortunately, in all
the promotional material that
was distributed, there was no
mention of the artists' desire to
perform to an all-female audience. This omission, due to the
legal stickiness of the situation,
and to oversight, caused a great
deal of confusion and annoyance
among the men and many of the
women who set out to attend the
concert and encountered the following sign at the library lobby
entrance :
"Men, Please Read This.
"Men exclude women in order
to protect, assert, and maintain
their power. Women exclude men
to claim a little space for ourselves and to carry on the struggle to take control, not of men's
lives, but simply of our own. The
men who genuinely support our
struggle will, of course understand and accept this - to do
otherwise is to assert their power
over us,
"So men are asked not to come
tonight." ,
Although men were not actually prevented from attending the
concert, very few chose to come
in. A number of women who
were upset by the separatist pol icy at the concert also decided
not to attend. One woman, who
was part of a small crowd that
gathered at the doors, said, "This
is the kind of stuff that hurts
things more than it helps. "
That statement seemed to represent the consensus of opinion
among the people, both women
and men who stood outside try ~
ing to decide whether they really
wanted to go to the concert or
not.
Meg Christian and Teresa Trull
have been touring the Pacific
Northwest, starting in Vancouver

B. C. and heading towards California. Most of their appearances
have been at women's community coffee houses and similar
places, where the policy of excluding men would not draw
much fire. They prefer to play to
all -w oma n audiences, and feel
that "open" concerts are only
valid as a way of outreach where
it seems necessary.
In a statement by Meg Christian and Holly Near on the subject of women-only concerts ,
they discuss the reasons for such
an attitude. "Women," they say,
"must have an opportunity to
come together to develop our
culture as part of the process of
taking control of our lives . After
a long time of having our needs
denied or ignored, we are affirm ing a culture which puts women
first. "
Christian and Near go on to
say, "Men represent our oppression .. . sexism. For women who
have been raped, beaten, deserted, fired, misled, manipulated,
discriminated against, had their
children taken away, etc., the
man at the concert may trigger
her pain even if he is the nice~t
guy in town. We want women s
concerts to be the most open,
unoppressive, liberating evening
possible."
.
Any confusion or antagoms~
that might have been present In
the audience because of the women-only policy was soon spirited
away by the warmth and sparkle
in Trull's and Christian's stage
presence. Both have strong vOic.e s
and are talented guitarists. Chflstian graduated from the University of North Carolina with a degree in music, as a gui~ar maj.or.
Her musical and claSSICal gUItar
background came through in her
performance.
Trull displayed some interesting talents during the c~nce~~,
one of which was yodeling. I
grew up learning to yode!," said
Trull, "and that's how I learned
to sing." Just to show off, she
yodeled her way through the
lonesome lovesick Blues, Trull
also did a kazoo solo, to take the
place of a missing back- up band,
during the Margaret Sloan song,
i
I'd like to Make love With You .
It might not have been quite up
to Maria Muldaur's or Jean Shepard's kazoo standards, but it was
up there.
In an introduction to what was
perhaps the angriest song in the
concert, Trull talked of Inez Garcia and Joan Little, and the need
for physical defense in a physical
situation. " There is violence done
against women every day that's
real violence, and to call self-defense violence is really wrong."
"When they s!ab us in the back
Give me a knife and watch
me use it, "
said the song, and indeed, Teresa
Trull is a woman of action. She
told of her participation in what
she termed a "dyke squad ," which
routed flashers from the local
laundromat and pursued burglars
with baseball bats, in her North
Carolina home town.
Trull is a self- taught lesbian
feminist musician, who had been
playing with various folk groups
and on her own for a number of
years . She toured clubs in upstate
New York and Pennsylvania after a stint as a truck driver in
N. C. It is only recently that she
has come to think of music as a
profession. She became a part of
Olivia Records seven months
ago , after some friends of hers
sent Olivia a tape of her music.
Trull now works full-time with
Olivia and is now on her first
tour as an 0 livia artist. Her album , The Ways a Woman Can
Be will be available in March.
Meg Christian has played music all her life and never considered being anything but a musician. She went to Washington,
D.C. after she graduated from
college and played on the nightclub circuit there. In 1973 she
gave up her nightclub career to
play women's music and became
involved in the formation of Olivia records . She has an album,
I Know You Know, on the Olivia label and is due to release an other one this year.
Meg Christian and Teresa Trull
are just two of many women who
spend their lives making women's music. Music that according
to Christian, "speaks honestly
and realistically about women's
lives."

of course, to the 1977 - 79 Catalog and the 1977 - 78 Supplement.

a nd supplement are special because they show in the m ost concrete form yet the results of the
Long -Range Curriculum Planning
DTF which met last year.
Instead of the old, largely arbitrary division of programs into
Beginning, Divisional, Intermedi ate and Advanced, the college
now has
.
Beginning, Annual and Interdisciplinary Specialization programs.
The Annuals programs are the
least self-explanatory. They are
designed to be experimental or to
fulfill special, transitory, needs.
Like all Evergreen programs once
were, these Annual programs will
be redesigned from scratch each
year.
Each of the nine areas of specialization has four or five programs, most of which, like the
very successful FONS (Foundations of Natural Science) - will
repeat from year to year.
The new catalog is the bestlooking one yet , although some
people may consider it unduly
slick . Like most catalogs, ours IS
optimistic, if not deceptive. We
wan t minority students at Evergrt'en. To attract them, we print
a disproportionate number of
photographs of non - whites. The
result was considered deceptive
by student April ' West , who
wrote an 'angry letter to Dean of
Enrollment Services, Larry Stenberg, and sent a copy to our office.
But , like an employment resu-me , the catalog is supposed to be
optimistic, sunshinier than real
life. Another instance of this is in
the "sample student" listing of
courses of study. It's a regular
feature in our catalogs. a substitute for course requirements and
a reassurance to those who a re
confused by~ policy of no t
askin g for declared majors. This
year five of the eight sample stu dents listed were said to be from
Washington high schools. This is
a percentage of about 62.5. In
fact , only about 16 % of Evergreen's incoming students are
from state high schools. Th,s IS a
continuing problem for the school
and no doubt the optimism in the
catalog was meant to be something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
StilL it might be considered de ceptive .
The Supplement - which is a
listing of next year's offerings is quite concrete . If it isn't in the
supplement. it won't be at Evergreen . Although I will not be
around, I have still chosen a fav orite program for myself. It's
called, "14,000 BC (A Program
in Increasing Imagination)" and
will be coordinated by Susan
Aurand.
The reason I like this basic program is its absurd program description, from which I quote :
ood
"Very few people today know
anything about this topic. Even
the people who know something
about it know almost nothing
about it. It is quite probable that
no matter what happens now or
in the fu ture no one will ever
know very much about this topic
That's the spirit, I say .

Music for Women Only
by Karrie Jacobs
Music by women and for women is the main product of Olivia
records , a Los Angeles-based col lectively-run firm . It was started
in 1973 by ten women whose
goals were to make women's music, to provide talented womanoriented musicians with access to
the recording industry and control over their music , to provide
training for women in all aspects
of the recording industry, and to
provide jobs for large numbers.of
women, with reasonable sa lanes
and in unoppressive situations.
The Olivia collective currently
.consists of eight women, two of
whom, Meg Christian and Teresa
Trull, appeared in concert last
Sunday night on the Evergreen
campus.
The concert was sponsored by
the Evergreen Women's Center,
which was responsible for putting
out the necessary advertising for
the event. Unfortunately, in all
the promotional material that
was distributed, there was no
mention of the artists' desire to
perform to an all-female audience. This omission, due to the
legal stickiness of the situation,
and to oversight, caused a great
deal of confusion and annoyance
among the men and many of the
women who set out to attend the
concert and encountered the following sign at the library lobby
entrance :
"Men, Please Read This.
"Men exclude women in order
to protect, assert, and maintain
their power. Women exclude men
to claim a little space for ourselves and to carry on the struggle to take control, not of men's
lives, but simply of our own. The
men who genuinely support our
struggle will, of course understand and accept this - to do
otherwise is to assert their power
over us,
"So men are asked not to come
tonight." ,
Although men were not actually prevented from attending the
concert, very few chose to come
in. A number of women who
were upset by the separatist pol icy at the concert also decided
not to attend. One woman, who
was part of a small crowd that
gathered at the doors, said, "This
is the kind of stuff that hurts
things more than it helps. "
That statement seemed to represent the consensus of opinion
among the people, both women
and men who stood outside try ~
ing to decide whether they really
wanted to go to the concert or
not.
Meg Christian and Teresa Trull
have been touring the Pacific
Northwest, starting in Vancouver

B. C. and heading towards California. Most of their appearances
have been at women's community coffee houses and similar
places, where the policy of excluding men would not draw
much fire. They prefer to play to
all -w oma n audiences, and feel
that "open" concerts are only
valid as a way of outreach where
it seems necessary.
In a statement by Meg Christian and Holly Near on the subject of women-only concerts ,
they discuss the reasons for such
an attitude. "Women," they say,
"must have an opportunity to
come together to develop our
culture as part of the process of
taking control of our lives . After
a long time of having our needs
denied or ignored, we are affirm ing a culture which puts women
first. "
Christian and Near go on to
say, "Men represent our oppression .. . sexism. For women who
have been raped, beaten, deserted, fired, misled, manipulated,
discriminated against, had their
children taken away, etc., the
man at the concert may trigger
her pain even if he is the nice~t
guy in town. We want women s
concerts to be the most open,
unoppressive, liberating evening
possible."
.
Any confusion or antagoms~
that might have been present In
the audience because of the women-only policy was soon spirited
away by the warmth and sparkle
in Trull's and Christian's stage
presence. Both have strong vOic.e s
and are talented guitarists. Chflstian graduated from the University of North Carolina with a degree in music, as a gui~ar maj.or.
Her musical and claSSICal gUItar
background came through in her
performance.
Trull displayed some interesting talents during the c~nce~~,
one of which was yodeling. I
grew up learning to yode!," said
Trull, "and that's how I learned
to sing." Just to show off, she
yodeled her way through the
lonesome lovesick Blues, Trull
also did a kazoo solo, to take the
place of a missing back- up band,
during the Margaret Sloan song,
i
I'd like to Make love With You .
It might not have been quite up
to Maria Muldaur's or Jean Shepard's kazoo standards, but it was
up there.
In an introduction to what was
perhaps the angriest song in the
concert, Trull talked of Inez Garcia and Joan Little, and the need
for physical defense in a physical
situation. " There is violence done
against women every day that's
real violence, and to call self-defense violence is really wrong."
"When they s!ab us in the back
Give me a knife and watch
me use it, "
said the song, and indeed, Teresa
Trull is a woman of action. She
told of her participation in what
she termed a "dyke squad ," which
routed flashers from the local
laundromat and pursued burglars
with baseball bats, in her North
Carolina home town.
Trull is a self- taught lesbian
feminist musician, who had been
playing with various folk groups
and on her own for a number of
years . She toured clubs in upstate
New York and Pennsylvania after a stint as a truck driver in
N. C. It is only recently that she
has come to think of music as a
profession. She became a part of
Olivia Records seven months
ago , after some friends of hers
sent Olivia a tape of her music.
Trull now works full-time with
Olivia and is now on her first
tour as an 0 livia artist. Her album , The Ways a Woman Can
Be will be available in March.
Meg Christian has played music all her life and never considered being anything but a musician. She went to Washington,
D.C. after she graduated from
college and played on the nightclub circuit there. In 1973 she
gave up her nightclub career to
play women's music and became
involved in the formation of Olivia records . She has an album,
I Know You Know, on the Olivia label and is due to release an other one this year.
Meg Christian and Teresa Trull
are just two of many women who
spend their lives making women's music. Music that according
to Christian, "speaks honestly
and realistically about women's
lives."

aniel J. Evans, former governor of the state
by a day, is on campus today, January 13,
to begin prepara tions to take on the presidency of Evergreen in July, Evans was enthusiastically appointed president by the Board of
Trustees on Tuesday afternoon after the Presidential
Selection Advisory Committee recommended him for
the position unanimously on Decembel' Z2 .
Evans will be on campus regularly until February 28
to plan for his new job with President Charles J. McCann, whose resignation is effective June 30 . A commitment was made by the trustees to the Presidential
Search Committee to arrange a public question-andanswer session between Evans and Evergreen students,
which is expected to take place before the end ~f February .
The search committee's recommendation put an end
to months of speculation and rumors that Evans was
interested in the ' presidency. The only surprise was
how quickly the search committee made its recommendation. Evans was chosen by the committee during its
first and only meeting on December 22.
Since its beginning Evans has been associated with
the college. During his first term as governor, Evans
sought the establishment of another four-year state
college, and he was on hand with a bulldozer and
hard hat for the ceremonial groundbreaking of the library, which was named after him. Evans was also
present at Evergreen's Dedication Day in 1970, which
happened to coincide with the nationwide anti-Vietnam War May Day protests. The Republican governor
wore a black arm-band. On May '19, 1973, Evans
showed up in jeans and rappelled by rope from the
top of the 122-foot clock tower as part of the recreation center dedication. He praised the college then for
"the opportunity it offers the individual to remain individual and develop along.individual lines."
The selection of Evans has ~n criticized by some
newspapers in the state, and state Senator A. L. "Slim"
Rasm!JSlC!n has requested that ' the Senate Education '
Committee investigate the possibility of a "conflict of
interest" 'in the Board of Trustees" appointment. Evans
appointed all fiw ~embers ,of the board when he was
governor. '
'
,
The seneral feelins ort campuS about Evans is one
' of happinesa and .-eJief, althqU&h there is 'criticism by
some students and a few, faculty about the process in
which he was picked . The sentiment most typically
expressed is, " He'll be great for the school."
R
um ~ rs of the impending resignation of President Charles J. McCann were already in
circulation during the summer of 1976 , A
former dean confided to the COOPER
POINT JOURNAL in July that McCann would leave
the college by the end of the coming school year , and
he said that Governor Evans was McCann's possible
successor,
McCann had privately informed the Board of Trusor possibly earlier, the Board discussed with Evans his
aVjlilability for the presidency . Evans apparently declined to make a decision. Had he accepted, the trustees would have unanimously. approved his appointment and there would have been no Presidential Selection Advisory Committee.
Critics have speculated that Evans did not want to
accept in September because of the risk of bad public
reaction, and that a search committee process was designed to defuse potential trouble , Evans said in a press
conference in December that he had wanted to meet
the selection committee to insure that the faculty, staff,
and students wished him to come to the college. "And
I certainly would not have been willing to accept the
responsibility at Evergreen if there wasn't enthusiasm
on their vart," he stated.
On September 15,'1976, over a year after he had informed the trustees of his decision, McCann announced
publicly his resignation, effective in June, 1977. (At a
boardt meeting on Dec. 9, 1976, Trustee and search
committee chairman Herb Hadley maintained that
"the Board .. . upon knowledge just prior to Dr. McCann's announcement of his pending resignation, has
considered people who may be excellent for the position. ")
.
During October and No'vember theol'ganization of
the Presidential Selection Advisory Committee was
planned. Procedural problems were ironed out and on
December 9 the trustees approved the creation of a
IS-member search committee to begin recruiting a
new president.
Members of the committee were Chairman Herb
