COMPUTING CONSORTIUM DIRECTOR HIRED;

July 11. 1975
OFFICE BASED AT EVERGREEN

Washington State's two universities and four four-year colleges have taken the first
major steps toward implementing a state-wide computer resource sharing system with the
appointment of Ward C_. Sangren as coordinator of the newly formed Higher Education Computing
Consortium. Sangren, recently coordinator of computer activities for the University of
California at Berkeley, will assume his new duties about July 15 under the direction of the
six-member Consortium Board, composed of representatives of the presidents of the University
of Washington, Washington State University, Evergreen, and Central, Eastern and Western Washington State Colleges.
Sangren brings to the task more than 30 years experience in the fields of mathematics
and computer science, including seven years at Berkeley where he has been responsible for
coordinating decentralized campus academic computer centers for the University of California's
nine campuses.
Evergreen's Provost Ed Kormondy, chairman of the Consortium Board, said Sangren will
be charged with helping design and develop common administrative and academic computer
systems, including personnel training, development of institutional conversion schedules,
identification of potential common administrative systems and selection of administrative
development teams. He will be advised by a six-rmember Technical Committee composed of
computer center directors from each of the participating institutions.
Eastern, Central and Evergreen have already begun or completed the conversion process
ad Western is scheduled to begin converting to the new system in the Fall. Sangren will
oversee the conversion from his headquarters at Evergreen (Library 3122) in the Office of
State College and University Business Affairs, an inter-institutional budget agency which
already serves each of the six state colleges and universities.
CO-OP OFFICE RECEIVES $35,000 GRANT
Evergreen's Office of Cooperative Education has received a $35,000 grant from the
Office of Education, Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Ken Donohue, Co-Op
director, said the grant is the third of its kind in as many years received by his office for
"strengthening and expanding" the Co-Op program, which has placed more than 2200 student
interns in more than 800 governmental, business, education, professional and social service
agencies since the Fall of 1971.
He said the grant represents "not a change in our program funding, but a reaffirmation
of HEW's faith in our operation." The grant will help fund the 1975-76 academic year program,
and is the last such award for which the Evergreen Co-Op office is eligible.
WEST GERMAN CHOIR TO PRESENT FREE CONCERT SUNDAY
A free, public concert of "Choral Music from the 17th to the 20th Centuries" will be
presented by the Motet Choir of Stuttgart, West Germany Sunday beginning at 8 p.m. in the
Gloria Day Lutheran Chuch (1515 West Harrison, Olympia). The 44-member choir, conducted by
Gunter Graulich and accompanied by an organist/harpsichordist, is being brought to the
Olympia area by Evergreen. It is the group's first stop in Washington on an extended tour
''f the United States and into parts of Canada.

ELEVEN STAFFERS PIONEER NEW STUDY PROGRAM
Eleven Evergreen staff members are eating lunches together these days and "discussing
scholarly things," according to one of their faculty sponsors, Maxine Mimms. The group
composed of Jan Krones, John Sells, Kris Robinson, Joanne Jirovec, Gary Russell, lona
Adderley, Linda Peterson, Jackie Watkins, Everett Fortin and Percy Berry
are pioneers
in Evergreen's first Education Opportunity Program for Staff, and are earning up to full
academic credit while they munch lunch.
Idea for the program originated, Mimms says, when she realized it was hard for fulltime staff persons to get time off to go to college. "And," she smiles, "I'm constantly
looking for those situations where an academic advantage needs to be offered." Hence you
can find her and Faculty Member Charlie Lyons meeting with their 11 students every noon hour.
Mondays they work with Faculty Member Mark Levensky on writing; Thursdays students share
five written pages from their journals, offering critiques on books they're reading, the
previous week's activities and other items of note.
One week student/staffers concentrated
on "efficiency reading;" another week they studied problem solving skills. And, for two
class periods,they enjoyed what Mimms called a "marvelous presentation" on how to use
Evergreen's library by Frank Motley, head of the reference section of the library.
In addition to the noon seminars, the industrious Evergreeners are reading up to 20
"heavy" books, including "Theory of Relativity," "Human Side of Management," "Creativity
in Practice," "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," and "Working." They're also
exchanging ideas, and learning and teaching styles, according to Mimms.
The program's future is not yet certain, she says, "since the deans have made no
commitment to it." "But," she adds, "if this pilot program is successful, we'll attempt to
look at ways of continuing it." When Mimms looks for ways to do something, it's pretty
likely she'll find them.
