WINTER QUARTER PART-TIME STUDIES SET
Academic Dean Lynn Patterson reports that 27 Winter Quarter academic programs will open
to persons interested in becoming part-time students at Evergreen. Registration for the programs—including 17 Modular Courses, six team-taught Coordinated Studies Programs and four
Group Contracted Studies—will begin December 8 in Room 110 of the College Activities Building. (Complete details on registration included on back side of this Newsletter.) Winter
Quarter classes run from January 5 to March 19. Part-time programs are open to degree-seeking
persons who may not be able to attend college classes on a full-time basis or to those who
wish to undertake college-level academic work although not actively seeking degrees now. Most
part-time students take one unit of Evergreen credit (equivalent to four quarter hours), although those seeking degrees may take up to two units. Once again, many of the academic
offerings have been scheduled in the evening and child care facilities have been arranged so

during class hours. Complete details on Winter Quarter part-time studies are included in a
catalog, available from the Office of Admissions (866-6170).

PART-TIME REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Persons just starting part-time studies at Evergreen should enroll as "Special Students"—those taking academic work for credit though not seeking a degree. This allows
registration without making formal application, supplying transcripts, or paying application and advance deposit fees. Credit earned, of course, is applicable to a degree should
a person later wish to become a part-time continuing student. At that point, the student
would undergo formal admissions processing. Enrollment as a "Special Student", thus, is
a relatively easy matter. Fees should be paid at the time of enrollment ($68 per unit of
credit for a Washington resident).
THE SCHEDULE
December 8:

6:00-8:00 p.m.—Mini-Academic Fair (faculty available) and
Registration, 110 College Activities Bldg.

December 9-12:

8:00-11:45 a.m. and 1:00-5:00 p.m.--Registration, Office of

noon meeting today
WEEK OF MEETINGS BRINGS 23 PROPOSALS, VARIETY OF RESOLUTIONS FOR NEW GOVERNANCE SYSTEM
by: Judy annis
After more than a week of long and often harried discussions, 200 persons reached
agreement last night that could well lead to development of a new style of governance at
The Evergreen State College. But that new style will not be finalized for at least
another week. The final session in two intense days of meetings began at 2 p.m. yesterday
and as the last stragglers were heading home at 7 o'clock last night, some 23 proposals
stood ready for examination, along with more than a dozen resolutions, only six of which
were approved by the group.

As the hour drew late last night and participants, who had numbered as high as 600 or
700 at times, began to dwindle away, a compromise resolution was approved which asked that
those persons who presented proposals from the afternoon small group meeting to meet
today at noon in room 110 of the College Activities Building. Their agenda in brief will
be to :
a. copy all resolutions and proposals presented from 2 to 5 p.m. yesterday and organize
them according to: (1) those that discuss immediate structures to examine problems (including grievance procedures, curriculum, hiring and firing, admissions and budget); and (2)
those that address themselves to long-range plans;
b. rewrite proposals so they are clear and in a common language;
c. post copies of all of the proposals in the College Activities and Library Buildings
and make at least 500 copies available at the Information Center;
d. create an agenda of resolutions for a mass meeting to be held Wednesday, December 3;
and
e. see that each resolution proposal carries with it a contact name, number, date
and time of any meetings which might be held to explain and/or discuss that specific proposal
The group will also be charged with "negotiating" with the administration for time
off with pay for faculty and staff to attend the December 3 meeting.
Other resolutions passed called for (1) inviting President Charles McCann back to
answer questions after resolutions have been developed and finalized --- either December 3
or December 10; having "interested member of the Evergreen community form a group of
faculty-students-staff accountable to the entire community to formulate recommendations for
governance structure for Evergreen dealing with areas including grievance procedures, curri"
culum, hiring and firing, admissions and budget;" and making sure that "that group which
has just been created is an OPEN group - --- not a select group of any kind."
The decision to invite McCann "back" came after the President, speaking on a point
of personal privilege, suggested creation of a "Cog Three" group similar in composition
to a number of proposals aired earlier in the day which would "get on with consideration
of governance." He suggested the group begin meeting immediately with frequent public
meetings. McCann also cautioned that curriculum planning "must be gotten together for next
year." He said he felt students "ought to have a voice in curriculum planning. .. .and we
have to find ways to do that." He stressed, however, that the "actual final decision making
body (on curriculum)" was the faculty, working through the deans.
Throughout the two days of campus-wide meetings, student S her on Buchele and Faculty
Member Kaye V. Ladd shared moderating responsibilities. KAOS radio staff members carried
the entire proceedings live both days and a constant crew of camera-persons video taped
the whole process. Both moderators continually stressed that the meetings were "friendly"
and that everyone should have a chance to express her/his views. That friendly, courteous
tone prevailed through passage of the last resolution last night --- and though charges of
"railroading" were offered a time or two, most people did have their say --- and probably
will continue to do so as the meetings continue today and next Wednesday.

Evergreen's faculty will meet at 12:30 p.m. Nov. 26 in the Library 2100 Lounge for a
general discussion of what Faculty Member Merv Cadwallader calls "persistent curriculum

two fellow faculty members—Byron Youtz and Stan Klyn. Cadwallader was one of Evergreen's
original three academic deans and is considered the "father" of coordinated studies programs. It is expected he will offer some major proposals at the meeting, which has been
under considerable discussion in Evergreen corridors for the past two weeks. Exact details were not available at press time.

DIMITROFFS BRINGING YEARS OF CREATIVITY TO MURALS PROGRAM
By: Judy Annis
Together they have more than 80 years experience adorning walls inside and outside major
buildings throughout the United States. They've decorated banks in San Francisco, private
homes in Wyoming and prisons in New York. Their work stands in high schools, hospitals,
churches and concert halls. They've pieced together mosiacs, dobbed on fresco and brushed
with acrylics.
And, for the most part, they've done it together, working side by side as artists,
raising three kids and earning their American citizenship in the process. Now they've
agreed to work with one of their "kids" at The Evergreen State College and teach others
their finely tuned art of mural painting.
Lucienne Bloch and Stephen Pope Dimitroff have signed part-time visiting faculty contracts for Winter and Spring Quarters. Their task: to work with their eldest son, George,
a full-time Evergreen faculty mathematician, in a study program on "Murals and Architectural
Art".
(
Purpose of the two-quarter program will be to design, propose and, if proposals are
accepted, render artwork on campus buildings. Students will concentrate on developing skills
with acrylic paint, fresco and mosiacs, and will also under the Dimitroffs' direction, examine architecture, the history of murals, and the lives of muralists.
PARTNERSHIP BEGAN WITH RIVERA
The life of the Dimitroff partnership literally began at the drawing boards — when both
were working with the late Mexican muralist Diego Rivera in New York City in 1933.
Stephen
had emigrated to the United States from Dobromirka, Bulgaria and graduated from Flint, Michigan High School in 1931.
Lucienne had completed her studies at the National School of Fine
Arts in Paris after her emigration to the U.S. from Switzerland and after studying at the
Cleveland, Ohio School of Art.
During the hard times of the 1930s, Lucienne worked as a muralist for the WPA (Works
Project Administration) in New York and her new husband, who didn't want to "take the pauper'
oath", didn't work. As the economy recovered, Stephen found work in Flint with the General
Motors Company. She continued working with her murals — applying her skills to a house of
detention in New York City, a high school music room, the Swiss Pavilion at the New York
World's Fair, a Kentucky Post Office, and the Flint YWCA.
In the late 1940s, they moved to California and founded the Dimitroffs Frame Shop, which
Stephen ran for 14 years. As the eldest son, George recalls hours in that shop "where Dad
and I discussed nearly every painting that came in".
Meanwhile, Lucienne was illustrating children's books, painting more murals, and continuing her life long contract as a sculptor/designer with Royal-Leerdam Glass in the Netherlands. George says he often visits the homes of new acquaintances and finds glass figurines
designed by his mother.
VARIETY OF MURALS COMPLETED
By the middle 1960s, Stephen sold his shop and he and Lucienne had begun working togethe
full time on their mural projects. Their work since completed includes a 1,000-square foot
tile mosiac at Redwood High School; two 800-square foot fresco murals in San Francisco banks,

-3-

all the mosiac panels adorning the Greek Orthodox Churches in Oakland and San Jose, fresco
murals of four Reformation leaders for a Calvary Presbyterian Church, and tile mosiacs for
pr iva t e home s.
They've also continued to travel — looking at murals, photographing slides for their
program at Evergreen, and expanding their joint fund of artistic knowledge gathered over the
past four decades. And, they've also found time to return home. In July the Dimitroffs took
their two sons and daughters-in-law to Europe where they spent ten days each in Bulgaria and
Switzerland, as well as time in Paris and London.
Now settled in Gualala, California, the Dimitroffs are busily sorting slides and researching data for their program for which George, one of their most enthusiastic supporters,
can hardly wait. "How many students get a chance to work with polished professionals in a
field like this?" he asks. "And how many sons get this kind of an insight into the lives of
their parents?"
upcoming events
FILM ON WOMEN SLATED TODAY

Two films which focus on women and their roles in the work world will be shown from
2-4 p.m. today in Library room 3319. "The Women's Film", which is by, about and for women,
will be offered along with "Betty Tells Her Story", a film about a woman dealing with her
self-esteem and confidence. Following the films, Thelma Jackson, a representative from Work
Options for Women (WOW) will discuss her organization and its efforts to place women in nontraditional jobs. Both men and women are welcome to view the showings, which are sponsored
by Career Planning and Placement.
TROT FOR TURKEY TOMORROW

Grab your tennis shoes. It's time for the fourth annual Turkey Trot, sponsored by Evergreen and the Olympia Parks and Recreation Department. The event, slated for Saturday (Nov.
22) beginning at 11 a.m. in front of the Library, follows a 2.4 mile course along the College
Parkway.
Those with the fastest feet in each of the eight divisions will take home a turkey.
Second place finishers win a chicken; third place rates a game hen and fourth place merits
one dozen eggs.
Registration for the foot race begins at 10 a.m., also in front of the Library Building.
Participants may register in men's or women's competition, with four divisions for each gender: men or women up to 12 years of age; between 13-30 years old; between 31-45, or 46 and
over. All finishers will receive a Survivor's Ribbon.
EVERGREENERS OFFER FILM PREMIERE MONDAY

"Movie stars" from the Olympia, Seattle, and Port Orchard Fire Departments will see
themselves in two "world premiere" film showings scheduled at Evergreen Nov. 24. The films,
produced during the past six months by Faculty Member Robert Barnard and several of his students, provide the core of a statewide training program on defensive driving for fire truck
drivers and ambulance operators in Washington. The drivers' training package—involving 16
hours of classroom-type instruction, including the 16 millimeter color-and-sound movies—was
produced for the Office of Fire Service Training, part of the State Commission on Vocational
Education.
The two movies—"Emergency Response: Red Lights and Siren", which is 12 minutes long,
and "Backing Emergency Vehicles", nine minutes in length—were shot on location in Olympia,
Seattle and Port Orchard, with fire department personnel in those areas serving as the
"actors".
Scripts were written by Barnard, with the assistance of two fire specialists from
Seattle, the State Fire Service Training Office, and Wayne Small, a trooper from the Washington State Patrol's Shelton Academy. Actual filming and sound work was handled by seven Evergreen students, under the supervision of Barnard, who for many years has specialized in producing various kinds of learning packages which involve a variety of instructional media.
Film editing was accomplished by Pat Barber, a student teaching intern.
And, since some segments of the films involved animation, Barnard and his crew called
upon and received production assistance from another group of students and their instructor,
artist Marilyn Frasca.

-4SKI SCHOOL MEETING TUESDAY

spotlight on curriculum
PATTERSON OUTLINES 20 "MUST BBS" FOR PROGRAM PLANNING
Curriculum planning at Evergreen is definitely different this fall. A talk with Academic Dean Lynn Patterson readily reveals her serious intentions for long range planning.
Or, as she puts it, "planning a two-year curriculum within a four-year perspective".
Patterson, charged with coordinating curriculum development for 1976-77, has minced
no words in her directives to faculty and her requests for very specific kinds of input.
"Tighten up and lissen up", she says, serious in her intention, but a bit amused at her own
ferocity.
What she's asking for by tomorrow (Nov. 15) is faculty-designed programs and contracts
that fall within her "20 points". Outlined in Planning Document Number 2, issued this
week, Patterson says her 20 points are "must bes" for the next two years.
"CURRICULUM HAS BEEN ADRIFT"
"I've personally advised students for the past few months," she declares, "and, it's
been damn hard." "Our curriculum has been adrift. It's gotten away from our own first
principles and the specific needs of our students. What I want is curriculum planning which
will enable us to tell students not only what we'll have next year, but the year after that."
Her 20 points offer "guidelines on selection of programs", and advise faculty that "at
least one of your choices" for the coming year "must relate specifically to one of the 20
'must bes'".
A quick review of her "musts" reveal commitment to development of seven basic programs
which will "develop facility in reading and writing and provide for familiarity with basic
concepts/tools in several disciplines".
"These basic programs should be good starting points
for any future college work", she says. This year, Patterson feels, the basic programs
didn't offer students enough alternatives. "For instance," she says, "a student wanting
hard work in writing could take 'autobiography' or nothing. We need more overlap in these
programs." She cautions faculty designers of basic programs to remember that "these days
first-year students may be 35 years old".
That concern for the older or part-time student is reflected in Patterson's 20 points,
too. She insists that "opportunity for study in specific subject matter through evening
modules" be designed to support program activities. She asks that one program be designed
for those students interested primarily in studying management/administration/public affairs
within an interdisciplinary setting, "available at hours suitable for students who work parttime or full-time". And, she further insists that "at least three off-campus offerings in
the form of small, intense programs be designed to meet needs of off-campus students". She
asks also that one faculty member have, as a major part of his/her assignment, coordination
of study programs for Evergreen staff members.
All in all, she estimates her 20 points will require "approximately 90 faculty members".
"We've got about 120", she adds. "We can do it. It's gonna work."
STUDENT INVOLVEMENT ESSENTIAL

An essential part of Patterson's plan for making it work is student involvement. Initially she intended to call for a curriculum survey of all students as a vehicle for receiving their preferences on academic planning. After thinking it over, she decided, instead,
to ask programs and contracts to select one or two students to meet regularly with her to (1)
receive information about program planning; (2) serve as resource persons for their programs;

2.

•

(3) read and comment on proposals as they are developed; and (4) act as a sounding board.
"I think this kind of student involvement is ultimately the most rewarding and valuable","'
she says. Student input "must be more than an exercise in frustration". "It must be focused
on working with specific faculty members as programs and contracts are being designed." She
cautions that "clearly there are such things that a student consultative pool cannot do"
V
such as making decisions on specific program proposals, guaranteeing anything to fellow students who may hope that they act as representatives of their needs to her, or undertaking
writing programs on their own without a faculty member committed to work in such a program.
Patterson met with some 50 students last week and has set another meeting with them the
last week of November. She says by that time, she will have had a chance to examine faculty
proposals and can begin sharing those proposals with the students. She emphasizes her intention to keep in constant touch with student viewpoints
and, at the same time, asserts that

she is responsible for developing the curriculum.
Whatever happens, it's obvious Patterson is determined to develop comprehensive, well
balanced and tightly knit curriculum which will include not only 100 percent of next year's
programs, but 50 percent of the 1977-78 program
and clear direction for the 1978-80 curri-

culia as well.
EIGHT NOMINATED FOR DEANSHIPS
Eight faculty members have their Public Qualifications Folders on display in the reference section of the Library this week and will begin undergoing interviews with the Dean
Screen Disappearing Task Force next week. Nominated for deanships now held by Lynn Patterson
and Rudy Martin are: Betty Estes, Bill Winden, Richard Jones, Niels Skov, Mark Papworth, Bob
Barnard, Richard Brian and Mary Ellen Hillaire.
As their folders readily indicate, these faculty members offer a variety of backgrounds,
professional expertise, experience and viewpoints for consideration by the DTF. Each PQF is
distinctive; each offers different kinds of information including evaluations by students,
colleagues and deans; detailed vitea of their professional experiences; and, in some cases,
candid observations about their tenure at Evergreen. The PQF's will remain available for (
public scrutiny through Nov. 22.
The DTF will interview candidates until Dec. 5 and will try to send a non-prioritized
list of four finalists to Provost Ed Kormondy by 5 p.m. that day. He will announce his selections by Dec. 15.
The DTF which is chaired by Faculty Member Bob Sluss, will convene again Nov. 21.
ADMISSIONS STAFF "ON THE ROAD"
Admissions staff members from Evergreen are on the road this month, participating in
more than a dozen meetings with high school students throughout Western Washington.
Along with representatives from 20 Washington community colleges, four-year colleges
and universities, Evergreen Admissions Director Ken Mayer and Counselor Mary Ellen Lewis
are talking to high school students in Seattle, Everett, Mount Vernon, Bellingham, Mercer
Island, Auburn, Federal Way, Issaquah and Lynnwood.
The visits are part of the Washington High School/College Relations tour held every Fall
for the benefit of high school juniors and seniors planning to enroll in Washington's post
secondary school programs. The tour concludes Nov. 21.
CRAFT AND FOLK ARTISTS DEMONSTRATE SKILLS, OFFER SAMPLES SUNDAY
When the "Graphics by Rolf Nesch" Exhibit opens in Evergreen's Art Gallery Sunday, the
invaluable artworks will have a room full of lively, noisy and aromatic company.
The sights, sounds and smells of Norwegian art-in-the-making will echo across the
college's Library Building as Norwegian crafts men and women from all spectrums of the arts
join to demonstrate their skills, and in some cases, offer tasty samples of their artistry./
Their exhibits -- and the entire Norwegian festival — are sponsored in part by Evergreen, u»»e
Washington State Arts Commission, the National Foundation of the Arts, and the Norwegian
American Anniversary Commission.

3.

Organized by Olympia artist Mickey Hemstad, the grand opening of the Nesch exhibit will
feature demonstrations by weavers, spinners, wood carvers, bead workers, embroidery artists,
painters skilled at rose maling, an 80-year-old Aberdeen butter sculptor, and bakers of the
traditional Norwegian pastries including potato cakes, lefsa, and krumkake.
In the middle of all the activity will stand three show stoppers: a 17-foot hardanger
row boat built by Tacoman Arne Herstad; an antique three-legged cast iron crown stove from
Bergen, Norway, loaned for the show by Olympians Rulon and Belle Nielson; and original scores
of Norwegian folk music composed and performed by the late Oscar Torske of Silvana, Washington and preserved by his daughter Mrs. Nellie Jean of Raymond.
Offering their talents to the afternoon festivities will be woodcarvers Nels Nelskog of
Everett and Gunar Tranum of Olympia; bead work artist Solveig Swanson, Poulsbo; weaver Hazel
Pattison, Olympia; spinners Solveig Indredo of Tacoma and Jan Hays and Barbara Haight of
Olympia; embroidery artists Hilda Thorp and Esther Tufte, both of Olympia; rose maling experts
Pat Morgan of Montesano and Florence Buck of Lakewood; butter sculptor Hedda Olsen of Aberdeen; and pastry masters Vera Anderson (lefsa), Olympia; Pete Ellingsater (krumkake), Aberdeen; and Dagny Schervheim (potato cakes), Seattle.
A number of other artists will also be on hand to share the musical day of song, dance
and folk celebrations.
THE DOLL'S HOUSE OPENS THURSDAY

The great theatrical classic, "The Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen will open at Evergreen
Nov. 20 for five consecutive days and a total of seven performances, including two matinee
productions presented for Western Washington high school students.
Directed by Faculty Member Andre Tsai, the production is part of a year-long academic
study program entitled "Live and Recorded Performing Arts", and will be staged in the round
in the Daniel J. Evans Library Theater at 8 p.m. Nov. 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24, and at 2 p.m.
Nov. 21 and 24.
A ten-student cast, led by Alyson Garland, a Seattle sophomore as Nora, and Steve
Smalley, an Olympia freshman, as her husband Helmer, will present the dramatic classic, often
cited by feminists as an example of women's oppression by the society in which they live.
Written in 1879 by the Norwegian playwright, "The Doll's House" aroused a storm of controversy when first presented. Clergy and laymen alike saw it as an immoral attack on the
sancity of marriage and an obscene denial of a wife's primary duty to her husband and children. But, there's much more to the play than that. It touches on man's almost helpless
condition as he attempts to control rather than be controlled by his environment. It explores
the freeing as well as devasting impact of reality on those who live under illusions, and it
offers subtle comment on the levels of consciousness at which we all live.
Nora and her husband Helmer live in an illusion-filled marriage without communication.
She renounces her own individuality and pretends to be much less than she is for the sake of
maintaining Helmer's ego. To do so, she allows and even maintains a dishonest personal relationship with him. Helmer does not call Nora by name, nor refer to her as a woman, but
always as "featherhead", or "songbird". And the two of them preserve their illusions about
each other.
The major action of the drama centers on the destruction of those illusions. Once they
have been destroyed, Nora and Helmer face each other as total strangers. There are no heroes
heroines or villains in Ibsen's drama. There are only flesh and blood human beings and the
play's concern is how these real people discover each other and learn to live with their discoveries.
With Garland and Smalley in the cast are: Clark Sandford of Seattle as Dr. Rank; Laurel
White of Olympia as Mrs. Linde; Geof Aim, Seattle, as Krostad; Tina Nehrling, Indianapolis,
Indiana, as the nurse; Cheryl Wickland, Wenatchee, as the maid; and Mike McGalliard, Leavenworth, Washington, as the delivery man.
Tickets for the play, which cost $1 for students and $2 for others are available in the
main CAB mall
at Evergreen, Yenney's Music in Downtown Olympia, the Music Bar in South
Sound Center, and at the door.

Dick Nichols

A "double mission" for Evergreen in Washington's educational scheme of things was
/
affirmed by Dr. William Chance, Deputy Director of the state's Council for Postsecondary
Education, during a sparsely-attended campus presentation Wednesday. Dr. Chance, reporting
a set of draft planning and policy recommendations for Washington's postsecondary institutions during the next six years, said in response to a question, "In the Council's view,
Evergreen does have a double mission — providing needed innovative educational services
statewide and also being of primary service to the Southwest Washington Region". He said
he did not see the two roles as incompatible.
THREE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TESC
The Council, created to coordinate postsecondary educational planning in the state,
listed three specific primary recommendations for Evergreen in its lengthy report: (1)
"...the primary function be the provision of interdisciplinary instruction in the humanities,
social sciences, and natural sciences through the master's level"; (2)"...that TESC give
serious consideration to the development of a master's program that is an extension of its
undergraduate programmatic structure..."; (3) "The CPE supports a role for TESC as a nontraditional educational alternative in public postsecondary education, but it recognized a need
for TESC to render its educational approach to the educational requirements both of traditional and non-traditional students." While calling for designating Eastern, Western and
Central Washington State Colleges as "regional universities", the report suggests that Evergreen continue to be known as a state college to suggest its statewide service capability.
Dr. Chance said the "double mission" for Evergreen grew out of "a dilemma" caused by
two different historical developments. On one hand, he observed, was the original intent of
a Temporary Advisory Committee on Public Higher Education, which called for placing a new
college in Olympia to serve the needs of both Southwest Washington and state government. On
the other, he added, was the actual development of Evergreen as an alternative institution
at a time (late 1960s) when calls for non-traditional programs were being uttered loudly iri
educational circles. "Thus, we see Evergreen as serving two different needs", Dr. Chance
said.
"SERVICE TO STATE GOVERNMENT"
The CPE Deputy Director also remarked that Evergreen "was originally viewed as a service to state government". He noted that a great need exists in the Olympia area for graduate
studies in "public affairs", as witnessed by a new program launched by Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma and already filled with students from Thurston County. He said he and the
Council feel Evergreen can address this need without compromising its undergraduate program,
which reflects "an interdisciplinary and problem-oriented mode".
In a report which ranged over numerous other subjects—including concerns about "regional
planning areas" and the capacity of Associate of Arts degrees being granted at or by four-year
public institutions—Dr. Chance also disavowed publicly expressed fears that the planning program being proposed "is a Council power play". He said the plan "does not impinge upon internal institutional affairs, is not a vehicle to impose an intolerable workload on institutions, does not reflect a preoccupation with manpower planning, is not intended to emphasize
vocational education at the expense of liberal arts or non-vocational education (or the reverse) , and was not quickly conceived and thrust upon an unsuspecting public".
"This plan is the result of a long and participatory process", he added. He noted that
after a series of public meetings—now winding down—the report will be edited to reflect
valid suggestions. Formal adoption is tentatively scheduled for the December Council meeting.
ROLE OF SCHOOL AND FAMILY FOCUS OF WORKSHOP
The "Roles of School and Family," will be examined as the continuing Changing Family
Relationships Workshop continues Tuesday, beginning at 5:30 p.m. with a sack lunch at the (
Lincoln Elementary School on 21st and Washington. Coordinated by parent Barbara Cohen and
Latch Key Director Brent Cappell, the program will include several mini-workshops led by
community representatives. It is free and open to the public.

5.
GRIBSKOV AND COONTZ TO DISCUSS 'WOMEN AND POWER'
Two Evergreen faculty members will play key roles in a public discussion of "Women and
Power", Nov. 20 at the Olympia Community Center (1314 E. 4th). Faculty journalist/educator
Margaret Gribskov will moderate the four-member panel, which will include faculty historian
Stephanie Coontz, State Legislator Pat Cochran, Olympia lobbyist Jolene Unsoeld and Sally
Haley, an Edmonds representative from the Fascinating Womanhood organization.
The dialogue will examine the role women "should play in public policy formation". It
is one of a series of public discussions centered on "Women in Public Policy Formation: Past
Present and Future". The programs are sponsored by the University of Washington's Office of
Women's Studies, the Washington Commission for the Humanities, Washington State Women's Council and several Thurston County organizations.
Child care will be provided during the free 7 p.m. presentation if it is requested in
advance. For information or child care arrangements, call 943-4592 or 352-2020.
SOCCER SQUAD BOOTS SEATTLE TEAM

Playing without five starters, including goalie Mike Joyce, Evergreen's men's soccer tean
last Sunday edged past tough Pacific Coast Investment of Seattle 3-2 in & Washington State
Soccer League Division Two contest at Woodland Park in Seattle. The win, reversing an early
4-1 loss to PCI, kept the Evergreen hooters in the middle of the standings with a 4-4-1 record.
PCI scored early, but Evergreen tied the contest late in the first half on a goal by
right forward Scott Henderson. Henderson, who played a sensational game, put TESC on top for
good at the start of the second half when he dribbled down the right wing, by two PCI defenders, and slammed a shot past the goalie from 12 yards out on a severe angle to the right.
Evergreen increased its margin to 3-1 a few minutes later when forward Dick Jones drilled home
a shot through three PCI defenders after receiving a pass from teammate Steve Noll. PCI then
went on the attack, scoring once with 20 minutes left and keeping constant pressure on Ever-^
green backup goalie George Schunk, converted from center-fullback to replace the absent Joyce
who was sidelined with studies. Schunk and his hustling teammates repelled all of the PCI
thrusts to preserve the win.
TESC is idle next week and returns to action Nov. 23, meeting Midnite Mart of Seattle at
Woodland Park.
STRUVE TRAVELS TO BERKELEY FOR CONFUCIAN STUDIES

Faculty Member Lynn Struve will head south this weekend for the first of seven trips
to participate in the Berkeley Regional Seminar on Confucian Studies conducted by the University of California at Berkeley History Department and funded by the American Council of Learn
Societies.
Struve was invited to participate in the seminar in part due to her participation in a
planning conference on "Early Ch'ing Thought", held at Berkeley last August, just after she
returned from a visit to Taiwan. She's "delighted to be able to attend this series...because
it ties in so well with things we are studying in my group contract, Yu Tao-Li: Chinese Philosophy, Religion and Society". She feels there will be "plenty of opportunities to share
what I learn at Berkeley with students at Evergreen".

PERSON IN PERFORMANCE DEFUNCT;

A.R.T.S. CREATED

The Person In Performance Coordinated Studies program folded up its stage this week
and dissolved. Faculty Coordinator Bud Johanson said as of yesterday, "P.I.P. no longer
exists."
The dissolution came about after the three faculty members
Johanson, Craig
Steinke, and Natalie Crowe agreed, more or less, to disagree. Academic Dean Lynn Patterson
worked with the three of them to develop new assignments. Steinke, Johanson and the majority
of the P.I.P students have since designed a new program, A.R.T.S. (Artistic Realization of
The Self), which is essentially a basic coordinated studies program to examine "the creative
process through the performing arts to develop self awareness," according to Johanson. Working with Johanson and Steinke in A.R.T.S. will be Denny Kochta, stage technician, and
Emily Rogers, student assistant. A.R.T.S. will begin officially next quarter as a totally
new program and will be open to new students.
In the meantime, former P.I.P. faculty continue to wrap up the loose ends of their
program and Crowe and Patterson are discussing several possible assignments for Crowe next
quarter.

..GRAPHICS BY GREAT NORWEGIAN ARTIST GOING UP SUNDAY..."Graphics by Rolf Nesch," a
comprehensive and invaluable retrospective exhibition of the life works of a man considered
one of Norway's greatest living artists will open Sunday, November 16, in Evergreen's Art
Gallery. The exhibit, the first one ever sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services in Thurston County, will remain on display through December 14 as
the college takes part in the nationwide commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the
first organized Norwegian emigration to America.
Scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, the grand opening is part of an afternoon Norwegian
celebration at Evergreen which will include re-enactment of a 300-year-old wedding
ceremony, art displays and demonstrations by contemporary and traditional Norwegian
artists, musical performances by a wide variety of groups, and a full-scale Norwegian
dinner.
Nesch, an 82-year-old artist born in Germany, received his early training through
apprenticeship with a painter and study at the German Dresden Art Academcy. Forced by
the political climate of his native country to emigrate to Norway in the 1930s Nesch
found new inspiration and his graphics of the period reflect his response to the unspoiled
land, mountains and seas of his new homeland.
The whole range of his expressions and techniques will be on display in the Evergreea
exhibit, which includes 50 of Nesch's etchings and metal prints, the development of which
have established him as a great 20th century technical innovater.
Also on display will be the paintings and sculpture of ten contemporary Norwegian
American artists from the Puget Sound area. Sounds and smells of Norwegian art-in-themaking will also fill the gallery Sunday as craftsmen and women from throughout Western
Washington demonstrate their skills at wood carving, bead working, rose maling painting,
butter sculpture, spinning, weaving and baking. Norwegian pastry chefs will make and
share samples of krumkake, potato cakes and lefse. And the whole day's activities are free

GRAPHICS BY GREAT NORWEGIAN ARTIST GOING ON DISPLAY AT EVERGREEN
"Graphics by Rolf Nesch", a comprehensive and invaluable retrospective exhibition
of the life works of a man considered one of Norway's greatest living artists will open
Sunday, November 16, in Evergreen Art Gallery.
The exhibit, the first one ever sponsored by the Stnithson ian Institution Traveling
Exhibition Services in Thurston County, will remain on display through December 14 as
the college takes part in the nationwide commemoration of the 150tn anniversary of the
first organized Norwegian emigration to America.
Scheduled for 2 p.m. Nov. 16, the grand opening is part o f an afternoon Norwegian
celebration at Evergreen which will include re-enactment of a 300-year-old wedding
ceremony, art displays and demonstrations by contemporary and traditional Norwegian
artists, musical performances by a wide variety of groups, and a full-scale Norwegian
dinner.
"LIFE INTO GRAPHICS"
Nesch, an 82-year-old artist born in Germany, received his early training through
apprenticeship with a painter and study at the German Dresden Art Academy. Since 1923,
the artist says he has "tried to put life into graphics". In that effort he developed
new processes of graphic art in the late 1920s. Then, when the political climate in
Germany became unbearable, he emigrated to Norway, taking his new procedures and techniques with him, but leaving behind or destroying many of his early works.
While suffering severe physical hardships during the War, Nesch continued to create
important graphic series, interpreting his response to the unspoiled land, mountains and
seas of his newly adopted country. Included in the exhibition at Evergreen are prints
from his "Snow Series", the "Lofoten Series" (devoted to fishing and the sea), the
"Beach Scenes", and "In the Mountains".
A streetcar accident in 1943 crippled the artist on his left side and he spent
several years recovering. By the 1950's he had become a Norwegian citizen and recovered
enough to return to work. His imagery through the 1950s and 1960s became increasingly
personal with compositions richer both in texture and color.
50 PRINTS ON EXHIBIT
The whole range of the artist's expressions and techniques will be on display in
the Evergreen exhibit, which includes 50 of Nesch's etchings and metal prints, the
development of which have established him as a great 20th century technical innovater.
The show was compiled by Dr. Knut Berg, director of the National Gallery in Oslo and is
sponsored by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington. D.-C., the Norwegian American
Sesquicentennial Committee, and the Smithsonian Institution.
The exhibit, located on the main floor of the Evans Library Building, is free and
open to the public. Gallery hours are from: 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Thursday;
8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday; 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 9 p.m. Sunday.

of public talks St. James will make in the Puget Sound area this month and will be accompanied by a showing of her film, "Hookers", which depicts a number of prostitutes as thev
see themselves.
(
St. James is founder of the two-year-old COYOTE, a San Francisco-based group which
she describes as a "loose woman's organization". It's primary objectives are
decriminalization of prostitution and unionization of its members.
Called the Gloria Steinem of the prostitutes' liberation movement, St. James was
born and raised in Washington and arrived in the Bay city in 1962 at age 25, divorced and
broke. She was arrested for prostitution and following a number of encounters with law
enforcement officials, started to "get angry about the sexist and racist injustices of
laws regulating this victim-less crime". She says the law has viewed "only one party —
the woman — in a two-part agreement as deviant", and she began her crusade.
The 25-minute movie, "Hookers", which will preceed St. James' talk, was produced by
Max Scherr and is done in a semi-documentary style which attempts to dispel many of the
myths commonly held about prostitution. Both St. James' talk and the film are free and
open to the public.
SAIBEL TRUST FUND SUPPORTS PUBLICATION OF SPL TEXT
A modulation manual has recently been completed by Faculty Member Dr. Robert Gottlieb
working with the help of several advanced students in music. This manual is now available
for student use in the Self-Paced Learning Center (Lab. 1047).
The publication deals with the theory and the practice of harmonic modulation in
western tonal music. Unique features include the fully-tabulated chord relationships for
all keys and a cassette tape manual (available separately) which illustrates the musical
examples. The chord tables for this manual were initially prepared by Jim Bennett, formerly a science student at Evergreen, who worked out the chordal relationships with the
aid of a computer. The following students helped with the writing of the musical exampf
and the preparation of the text; Jonathan McLaughlin, Stephen Perry and Karen Gottlieb.
The printing of this manual was supported through funds from the Bernard Saibel Memorial Trust Fund. Bernard Saibel, formerly a member of the Olympia community, audited music
classes at Evergreen. Because of his love for music and his interest in music at Evergreen,
following his death last year this Trust Fund was set up in his honor to support the development of new learning materials in music. The publication of the Modulation Manual is the
first project of this kind to be sponsored by the Trust Fund. This manual can be purchased
at the Evergreen Book Store for $5.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POSTSECONDARY ED TO BE DISCUSSED
William Chance, Deputy Coordinator of planning and research for the Council for Postsecondary Education will meet with faculty, staff and students Wednesday (Nov. 12) at 1 p.m.
in Lecture Hall One. Topic of Chance's meeting will be CPE's draft "Planning and Policy
Recommendations for Washington Postsecondary Education, 1976-1982".
Supplies of the recommendations are available in the office of President Charles
McCann who urges all interested Evergreeners to read the study and take the opportunity to
air their questions and concerns with Chance next week.
PREGNANCY AND MATERNITY LEAVE POLICY UP FOR REVIEW
Affirmative Action Officer Rindetta Jones has asked for community reaction to a policy
on pregnancy and maternity leaves drafted by her and reviewed by a Disappearing Task Force
this Fall. Jones says the policy is required by the Higher Education Personnel Board and
must soon be submitted to Evergreen's Board of Trustees for review and approval. Copie/ f
the policy are available in the Affirmative Action Office, Library 3103. Written commenus,
suggestions or reactions are due to Jones by Nov. 12.

others in forming an electric country band which he hopes will perform both on and off
campus. Foote, who performs on the pedal steel guitar in the now three-member group, says
he needs a guitarist and a pianist — both of whom can also sing — for the group, which
now also includes Mike Carroll on base and Jim Lindley, a vocalist who plays the rhythm
guitar. Interested persons should contact Foote as soon as possible by calling either
866-6676 or 866-6016.
SOCCER SQUAD LOSES BRUISER
Subjected to what coach Derek Goldingay describes as "the most physical game of the
year", Evergreen's men's soccer team lost a bruising 2-1 contest to Alki Lumber of West
Seattle last Sunday at Woodland Park in Seattle. The loss dropped the Evergreen squad's
record to 3-4-1 in Washington State Soccer League Division II play.
Evergreen scored first early in the game when left wing forward Ross Jones kicked
home a point on a rebound of Goldingayfs blocked shot. Alki tied the score about ten
minutes later and notched the winning goal midway through the second half.
Evergreen sees action again Sunday at Woodland Park, tangling with Pacific Coast
Investment of Seattle.

...EVERGREEN AND NORWEGIAN GROUPS PLAN HISTORIC FESTIVAL...Grand opening of an invaluable
art exhibit on loan from the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C. , re-enactment of
a 300-year-old Norwegian wedding ceremony, demonstrations by modern Norwegian crafts men
and women, and music
sung, danced and played
by members of Norwegian groups from
throughout Western Washington are all being planned for Nov. 16 when Evergreen joins hands
with numerous Norwegian groups to sponsor a Sesquicentennial Celebration.
The afternoon activities, set to begin about 2 p.m. on the central campus plaza, are
being organized by Mickey Hemstad, an Olympia artist of Norwegian descent, who first
arranged for the invaluable "Graphics by Rolf Nesch" exhibit to travel to Evergreen's Art
Gallery from Washington, D.C. After succeeding in booking the rare exhibition, the
industrious Mrs. Hemstad decided it offered a perfect opportunity for a full-blown Norwegian
celebration.
"We want to commemorate the arrival 150 years ago last month of the first ship load of
Norwegian immigrants to America," she says. "We're going to offer Norwegian arts and
crafts, fine Norwegian cooking, festive dancing and singing
all the traditional
elements of an old-fashioned festival."
The event will conclude with a full-scale Norwegian dinner served at 6 p.m. in
Evergreen's College Activities Building. Dinner reservations for the $3.20-per-plate
meal are being received at 866-6229 week days. Watch the Daily Olympian for more details.
...SENIOR TAKES NATIONAL FILM AWARD...David Current, a Seattle senior at Evergreen and
an independent slide/tape producer, has been awarded the Silver Cindy Award by the
Information Film Producers of America. Current, one of the few students to receive an
award in the national, professional competition, won second place in the category of slide
tape and public affairs productions under 20 minutes in length. His award winner was
produced for the Children's Home Society of Washington.
...OLYMPIA WOMAN NAMED COORDINATOR OF ACADEMIC INFORMATION...Mary Moorehead. an Olympia
woman active in community activities, has been named to a full-time post as coordinator
of academic information at Evergreen. Her appointment, announced by Provost Ed Kormondy
last week, is effective immediately.
In her new position, Mrs. Moorehead will carry primary responsibility for gathering
and sharing information on Evergreen's curriculum with students. She will also offer
academic advising. Mrs. Moorehead returned to college herself last Fall and expects to
earn her degree from Evergreen in December. She was appointed to a temporary post last
summer as special assistant to the Director of Admissions to promote Evergreen programs
in the Olympia area, and she also designed a special academic program for area women interested in returning to college.
...GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION TOPIC OF SESSION...Representatives from county,
state and federal governments will be joined by employers and employees in the field of
public administration for an all day workshop on "Government and Public Administration" at
Evergreen Nov. 5. Sponsored by the Career Planning and Placement Office, the day-long meet
is designed to acquaint Evergreen students with career possibilities in the fields represented.

works to 1870 traditional pieces and examples of unusual and exotic clothing fill Evergreen's Art Gallery thru Nov. 14 in an exhibit entitled "Textiles: Traditional and Contemporary." Included in the display are family heirloom quilts — some 100 years old
