he wanted to be a disk jockey
BUT HARVEY ROBERTS IS A COP.AND HE LOVES IT
He wanted to be a radio disk jockey, but was afraid to admit it to his parents.
So he enrolled in a police science class as a cover-up for his real career goal. A
year later, clad in police blues, he's patroling the beats with Olympia City Police 40
hours a week and hoping to become a full-time policeman following his graduation from
Evergreen.
Twenty-year-old Harvey Roberts, a third year Tacoma student, began his year-long
internship with OPD last fall!He wanted to gain an understanding of police and law
law enforcement
not just theory, but a practical, realistic view of the field.
Working closely with Police Lt. Bill Remsen, his off-campus superviser, Roberts
said he's found police work "a frustrating experience at times
but filled with a
sense of accomplishment."
CAN'T ALWAYS BE JUST AND IT'S VERY SAD
"There's so many times when you come up against a situation where you have to make
a decision that may not be just," he said. "It's legal and it's what has to be. But
sometimes it's not really fair and it's very sad."
Viewing his experiences realistically, Roberts is most impressed with "the feeling
that you're not just doing a job of enforcing law...but you're actually doing something
that's good and worthwhile." The exciting part of the job is "constantly mixed in
with the routine," he said. Expressing obvious enthusiasm for the job, Roberts said he
finds "it exciting to talk with a kid on the street and find out I can help him just by
talking to him. It's exciting to check doors at night and find them all locked."
The 1970 graduate of Tacoma's Franklin Pierce High School said he's been fully
accepted by the officers on duty arid has been allowed to experience the whole range of
police work
from administrative paperwork to arrests, from riding in patrol cars to
breaking the news of a husband's death to a new widow.
OPD'S FIRST STUDENT INTERN IS "WORKING OUT WELL"
Lt. Remsen said Roberts is the police department's first student intern: "He's
working out very well. Because of him, -we're exploring the possibility of having
more interns
both from Evergreen and other colleges."
The officers "enjoy having Roberts working with them," Remsen said. "It gives
them a chance to do some instructing at the working level
and helps them both out."
The internship experience, sponsored through Evergreen's Office of Cooperative Educa
tion, is contracted through the college's Security Supervisor Rod Marrom. Marrom, who
has 20 years of police experience, says he's "mighty impressed" with Roberts and has high
hopes for him as a professional lawman.
"He's one of the most outstanding students I've ever working with and I think he's
opened up tremendous possibilities for positive interaction between the college and the
Olympia Police Department," Marrom said.
LOTS OF BOOKWORK REQUIRED
Supplementing his practical experience with "lots of bookwork," Roberts has been
reading about all areas of law enforcement
including police organization, community
relations, management and recent development in criminal justice. He and his intern
sponsors feel he'll be well prepared for a police career when he graduates next June,
but he may end up two inches short of his goal.
"I'm only 5'6" tall and many departments have a minimum 5'8" requirement,"
Roberts said. But with his determination and the support of those who've worked with

him, few doubt that the young Tacoman will stand tall in a police uniform within days
of graduation.
HUMAN INTEREST, HARD NEWS

POSITIVE STORY IDEAS WANTED

,/

With a campus of more than 2,000 folks, it's often times difficult
to keep in touch with all that's happening, to find and focus on the
positive stories which tell the real Evergreen story.
Faculty, staff and students all have their own story of Evergreen.
Let each of you share those ideas with the Office of College Relations.
It's our job to tell the "outside" world what's happening here
how
we are spending the taxpayers' dollars for the benefit of the society
into which our students will emerge. If you have a positive view of
Evergreen
a feature story on one student, one faculty or staff member,
or even one academic program, contact Dick Nichols, Director of Information
Services or Judy Prentice, Information Officer (Library 3114 or 753-3125).
Help us tell the Evergreen story.
SMITH'S REMINDER;

STUDENTS MUST BE REGISTERED BY MAR. 16

All students must complete Spring Quarter registration and payment of fees by 5 p.m.
March 16, according to Registrar Perrin Smith. ''This is an absolute deadline and failure
to register and pay fees by that deadline entails loss of place at Evergreen," Smith
said.
Students have already received registration and fee payment materials in the mail,
and if they have not processed the materials by Mar. 16, their registration will not be
permitted. Their advance deposits will be forfeit and re-admission will be achieved
only through reapplication.
Because registration is done by mail, Smith reminded students of the importance of
keeping current and "thoroughly useable" addresses filed with his office.
