Academic Year

...SENIORS SLATE JUNE 8 COMMENCEMENT...More than 420 Evergreen seniors will participate in
outdoor commencement ceremonies beginning at 1 p.m. June 8 on the central campus plaza
(weather permitting). The Class of 1975, the largest in Evergreen's four-year history, is
the first to include student pioneers who have earned all of their academic credit at Evergreen. Seniors have planned their Sunday afternoon ceremony and invited three graduation
speakers: Director of Public Information Dick Nichols, Faculty Member Betty Estes, and
Acting Director of the Third World Coalition Elena Perez. Academic Dean Willie Parson will
introduce the graduating class and Evergreen President Charles ^J. McCann will offer congratulations to the departing seniors.
Other graduation events planned include a June 7 Grand Ball beginning at 8:30 p.m. in
the main lobby of the Evergreen Library. Music will be provided by the Evergreen Jazz
Sextet, directed by Faculty Member Donald Chan, and the Old Coast Highway Orchestra and
Tatoo Parlour. Seniors also plan light refreshments after the June 8 commencement ceremonies
with accompanying marimba music directed by Evergreen Faculty Member Abraham Dumi Maraire.
...ELEVEN CONFERENCES BOOKED FOR SUMMER...Eleven conferences
ranging in length from
three days to seven weeks and in style from a "slim down" program to a springboard divers'
meet
are scheduled at Evergreen during Summer Quarter. John Moss, Director of Auxiliary
Services, says the conferences are in addition to a number of one-day meetings by state
agencies, social clubs and other kinds of organizations which have selected the 1,000-acre
campus for summer meetings.
"Most of our conferences are organized by groups which have traditionally met on college
campuses," Moss says. "We're happy to have them here. It gives persons who might not
otherwise know about Evergreen a chance to see it for themselves. Many of the persons
attending conferences are potential students; others are community residents who haven't yet
been introduced to campus resources and facilities."
"Conferences also support our facilities, such as housing and food services, during the
summer when our enrollment is usually about one-fourth of that during the regular academic
year," he adds.
Already booked for the month of June are: two springboard diving workshops sponsored
by the Pacific Northwest chapter of the American Athletic Union from June 16-21 and June
23-28; a National Science Foundation workshop for elementary science teachers, June 16-27;
a National Cheerleaders Association Cheerleading Clinic from June 30-July 3; the Northwest
Alternative Media Conference, June 27-29; and Camp Murietta, a slim-down program sponsored
by Sports World, June 29-August 15.
Scheduled for July are: the Seattle Opera Association's "Ring" program, July 7-28;
the Department of Social and Health Service's Radiation Protection Division training workshop for X-ray operation and protection, July 15-17; and a conference led by Swami Muktanada
on meditation from July 18-20. The Media Standards Group of the Library Audio-Visual
Association, in conjunction with the State Office of Public Instruction, will also sponsor
a three-day workshop in August, and the Student International Meditation Society will
convene on campus August 1-7.
...ABERDEEN JUNIOR NAMED EDITOR OF JOURNAL...Theresa (Ti) Fleming, an Aberdeen junior, has
been named to a two-quarter appointment as editor of the Cooper Point Journal, Evergreen's
student-run weekly newspaper. The appointment was made May 23 by the college Publications
Board for Fall Quarter, 1975 and Winter Quarter, 1976.
A 1971 graduate of Aberdeen's Weatherwax High School, Fleming has recently served as
production manager of the newspaper and has also recently completed a Spring Quarter
journalism internship with the Washington State School Director's Association in Olympia.

...CHORAL BALLET SLATED JUNE 5 AND 6..."The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore," a
choral ballet of a madrigal fable, will be performed June 5 and 6 beginning at 8 p.m. in
Evergreen's outdoor recreation pavilion. Directed and choreographed by Faculty Member Bud
Johansen, the ballet tells the story of the strange Man in the Castle who..."shunned the
Countess' parties...yawned at town meetings, would not let the doctor take his pulse and did
not go to church on Sundays..."
Also called "The Thsee Sundays of a Poet," the play, written by Gian Carlo Menotti,
uses the unicorn as a symbol of the dreams of youth; the gorgon as a symbol of manhood, and
the manticore as the symbol of old age.
Admission for the evening performances is $2 for adults; $1 for students. Children
under 12 will be admitted free. Parking will be in lot "F" across from the Adult Student
Housing area on the northwest corner of the campus.

musical instruments and jewelry, paintings and sculpture, photography and batiks

its departing Class of 1975
and a tribute to the artists in its beauty and taste.

represents the work of 19 seniors and will remain on display until June 9.
...SOULE OFF TO USSR...Dr. Oscar Soule, Evergreen faculty member in biology, has been invited to present a paper on Nitrogen Fixation in Northwest Coniferous Forests to the 12th
