...FIRST MAJOR WOMEN'S ART FESTIVAL AT EVERGREEN APRIL 15-21...Seven days of exhibits,
plays, demonstrations, performances, workshops and rap sessions -— all led and organized
by women in the arts
are on tap at Evergreen April 15-21 in the first major women's
arts festival ever held on the West Coast. Sponsored by a collective of Evergreen and
Olympia-area women, the festival will offer a wide and complex variety of visual, audio,
and textural examples of women's artistic productivity.
Open to the public free of charge, the festival is aimed at all women, say its
sponsors, "whether they consider themselves artists or not." The festival will seek to
examine art seriously by presenting well known artists from throughout the western
states to serve as models of what women artists can achieve, to stimulate discussion,
direct workshops and encourage public participation. Festival organizers
will
also feature local talent, inviting poets to open readings, musicians to open mikes,
and everyone to other spontaneous art happenings for those who wish to share their
work but have not made previous arrangements with the sponsors.
Throughout the festival, men are invited to participate as members of the audience
and as staff people for the free day care center, which will run continuously all
week. Information on car pooling and housing is also available. For more complete
information, call the Evergreen Women's Center, 866-6162.
...JOB INFORMATION DAY TO DRAW 40 EMPLOYERS...More than 40 Washington employers will

introduce employers to both students and programs at the college.

...MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND ESTABLISHED...The friends and widow of Bernard Saibel
have established a scholarship memorial fund at Evergreen. The fund, established for
chamber music students, honors the intense interest in music held by Saibel, who served
as director of the State Child Guidance Services from 1958 to 1968. An Olympia resident
for 16 years, Saibel began his career in social work in Seattle in 1942. Following
his retirement from state work in 1968, Saibel served as an associate professor of
philosophy at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma.
An amateur musician, Saibel studied part time with Evergreen Faculty Member Robert
Gottlieb and frequently performed with other music students before his death in January,
Anyone interested in more information about the memorial fund is invited to contact
