...THREE NEW FACULTY HIRED...Vice President and Provost Edward J. Kormondy has announced
the appointment of three new faculty members for the 1973-74 academic year. Newly hired
are Linnea Pearson, an associate professor of English at Norfolk State College, Virginia:
George Dimitroff, an assistant professor of mathematics at Knox College, Galesburg,
Illinois; and Edward N. Reynolds, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College.
Contracts have been offered to three additional faculty for next year, and recruitment is continuing for some new art faculty, particularly in the areas of music, drama,
dance and visual art.
...STEPHERSON ROTATING INTO FACULTY; SMITH AND PEFFER INTO COUNSELING...Lem Stepherson,
director of counseling, will rotate into the faculty next fall and Faculty Member LeRoi
Smith will take over as director of the counseling center. Stepherson will teach for
two years, according to Larry Stenberg, dean of student services. Smith will direct the
counseling center the first of his two years away from the faculty. He will be assisted
by Lou-Ellen Peffer, currently director of resident activities and slated to become a
staff counselor in the fall. The second year, Ms. Peffer will become director of counseling and Smith will assist her.
... STUDENT ORGANIZES SYMPOSIUM FOR OLYMPIANS...Olympia-area residents are invited to a
symposium on leadership and group participation Wednesday (May 23) from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
in the Council Chambers at the Olympia City Hall. Goal of the symposium is to "help
persons learn how best to achieve their own objectives in a group situation," according
to Spokane student Mike Gilbert, who organized the session as part of his individual
academic contract on communication and psychology.
Four persons are slated to discuss different aspects of leadership, group participation and problem solving. Panel members include Ann Hunt, an advertising executive for
Jansen Sportswear; Margaret Connet, a specialist in the Family Day Care Office of the
Department of Social and Health Services; Harry Johnson of the Washington State Department
of Education, and Gilbert.
...NSF TO SEND WRITING TEAM TO EVERGREEN THIS SUMMER...The National Science Foundation
will send a writing team to Evergreen this summer to work on the first major curriculum
project directed towards the training of chemical technicians. Academic Dean Don Humphrey
said the team, from the NSF Chemical Technician Curriculum Project, will aim at instructing
students on the use of common laboratory instruments and developing skills in common
laboratory techniques.
The NSF team will complement the activities of 11 faculty members working on a
separate $50,000 NSF grant awarded to Evergreen for a summer program to develop self-paced
learning units in the natural and social sciences, Humphrey said.
...VALUABLE CHEMICAL SAMPLES KIT DONATED...A kit containing more than 1,000 regent grade
chemical samples has been donated to Evergreen by the Chemical Technicians Curriculum
Project of the National Science Foundation. Samples in the kit will be used by Evergreen
students and faculty as standards for analyses of various substances on analytical instruments now available in the new Laboratory Building. The gift was made available through
the efforts of Faculty Member Robert Barnard, who has been associated with the Chem Tech
project for several years.
