...BRITISH ZOOLOGIST TO LECTURE ON AFRICAN LIONS... Brian Bertram, noted British
zoologist who spent the past four years observing animal behavior on the grasslands of
East Africa, will present a free slide/lecture on "Ecology of the African Plains: A
Study of the Serengeti Lion" April 15 at 8 p.m. in Lecture Hall Four. Bertram, subject
of a recent half-hour television documentary, holds a doctorate from the University of
Cambridge and from 1969 to 1973 was assigned to the Madingly Institute of Animal Behavior,
an organization affiliated with Cambridge and located on the Serengeti plains.
...FUND RAISING DRIVE NETS $100 SO FAR...A fund-raising drive launched this week by
Evergreen students to rush immediate financial aid to victims of the catastrophic tornadoes which swept the Middle West earlier this month has already netted more than $100,
organizers report. The two-week drive ends April 19.
Students collecting funds on the mall of the Evergreen College Activities Building
say they've been receiving donations in the mail which they will send to Greene County,
Ohio, home of Wilberforce and Central State Universities. Both institutions were virtually
obliterated and more than half the nearby town of Xenia — about the size of Olympia •
was destroyed by tornadoes. Persons interested in contributing to the drive can send
donations
cash, checks or money orders —- to: TORNADO RELIEF FUND, Evergreen Branch,
South Sound National Bank, TESC, Olympia, 99505.
...BERKELEY POLITICAL SCIENTIST JOINS SUMMER STAFF...Norman Jacobson, a professor of
political science at the University of California at Berkeley, will serve as a Distin-r
guished Visitor to the Faculty and coordinator for one of the major offerings in Evergreen's 1974 summer school program. Jacobson will direct "The Immigrants," a coordinated
studies program focusing on the peoples who migrated to the United States, and particularly
to the Pacific Northwest, between 1820 and 1920.
Also new to the Evergreen summer faculty will be Painter Larry Gray, an assistant
professor of art at Humboldt State University, who will work with Marilyn Frasca of
the regular Evergreen faculty in the "Drawing from the Landscape" study program. A
Seattle working artist, Ben Sams, will return to Evergreen's summer school to present
program work in ceramics. And, one final newcomer to the summer faculty will be Calligrapher Tim Girvin, an Evergreen senior from Spokane, who will direct the program,
"Calligraphy: The Dance of the Pen."
Registration for the ten-week summer session has already begun. Interested persons
can register through May 31 in person or by mail. Registration materials may be obtained
from the Registrar's Office.
...MORE ADDED TO EMERGENCY LOAN FUND...The Southwest Washington State College Committee,
which spearheaded the 1967 effort to have the Olympia area designated as the site for
Evergreen, has added $682.74 to the emergency loan fund it created in 1972 for use by
Evergreen students.
The gift closes an account the committee of Thurston County residents established
as part of its promotional effort. It brings the Southwest Washington State College
Committee Emergency Loan Fund at Evergreen to more than $4,250, which is available for
use by students with a variety of financial needs.
...SEVEN-DAY WOMEN'S ART FESTIVAL BEGINS APRIL 15...Seven days of exhibits, plays,
demonstrations, performances, workshops and rap sessions begin early Monday, April 15
on campus. Guests from across the state and nation will be on hand. All events are

...EVERGREEN TO CONVERT VAN TO MEDIC I AMBULANCE,..Evergreen is seeking bids for conversion of a Ford parcel delivery van into a Medic I emergency vehicle. The conversion, the
first in the Olympia area, will establish a prototype for three substantially identical
units to be ordered from the successful bidder of the Evergreen project by the Thurston
County Emergency Services Committee.
The van, already owned by Evergreen, will be operated by the McLane Fire Department,
which services the Cooper Point campus and surrounding areas. Funds for the other three
vans, now on order, have been provided by Thurston County taxpayers through a recent bond
issue. The project was designed by Evergreen Staff Architect William Knauss and McLane
Fire Chief Charles E. Allison, following guidelines offered in a U.S.Department of
Transportation publication entitled, "Ambulance Design Criteria."
...ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SYMPOSIA TO BEGIN MONDAY...Twenty area businessmen and
educators and ten students will begin attending the first of six symposia designed to
train persons for public roles in arbitration and mediation April 15 at Evergreen, according to Faculty Member David G. Barry. The program, sponsored by the National Center for
Dispute Resolution, is a project within the Individual in Contemporary Society study
program.
"It is also part of a national effort directed toward preparing citizens for
community leadership in dispute settlement ranging from landlord-tenant disagreements to
consumer problems and ultimately to divorce settlements," Barry explained.
...EVERGREENER SELECTED FOR BATTELLE INTERNSHIP...Heidi Krogstad, a Seattle junior at
Evergreen, has been selected for a Northwest College and University Association for
Science (NORCUS) Summer internship at Battelle Northwest Laboratories in Richland. She
was among 30 students selected nationally for the program. The ten-week internship,
enabling Ms. Krogstad to work with professionals in scientific research projects, will
begin June 15 and include a $100-per-month stipend.
