...EVERGREEN GRADUATES COMPARING WELL WITH COUNTERPARTS...Evergreen graduates are
accomplishing their own goals and comparing well with those of other four-year colleges,
according to a recent report published by Gail Martin, counselor in the Office of
Financial Aid and Placement.
With a total 295 graduates since 1971, Evergreen has already recorded successful placements for 96 per cent of the 1971-72 graduates and 80 per cent of the 1972-73
graduates, Ms. Martin reports. "These figures are based on ALL Evergreen graduates,"
she adds, "not just those graduates who register with the placement office, as is the
case with reports from other colleges.
Of the 233 1972-73 graduates, 186 are placed
150 are employed, 17 are in
graduate school or pursuing further training, four are traveling, seven are homemaking,
one is doing volunteer work and nine are unplaced by choice. Seventeen per cent (39
persons) of the class continues to look for work. No record is available on the remaining three per cent (eight persons) who graduated in the 1972-73 academic year.
...PHILADELPHIA STRING QUARTET HERE MARCH l...The nationally known Philadelphia String
Quartet will perform in concert at Evergreen March 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the old cafeteria
on the fourth floor of the Library. The concert is free and open to the public.

Iglitzin on viola, and Charles Brennand on cello, will present a complete music program.
...EGG-HIBIT OPENS FEBRUARY 25...Two Evergreeners will present a "collaborative eggventure, .complete with a thousand laughs" when they exhibit their drawings, paintings
and sculpture in the Evergreen gallery, circulation area of the Library, February 25

works of Bremerton graduate Doug Kahn and Seattle student Barbara Shelnutt. The two
collaborated on "the fried egg as a common image," Kahn says, but adds, "the egg is only
one part of the show."
