...NEW ADMISSIONS DIRECTOR NAMED...Arnaldo Rodriguez has been named director of admissions at
Evergreen, according to Larry Stenberg, dean of Enrollment Services. Rodriguez begins work
Nov. 7 and assumes responsibility for all phases of the college's admissions operation.
Rodriguez, 32, has served as director of admissions and records at Southwestern Oregon
Community College in Coos Bay since 1971, as well as held assistant professor status on the
faculty at that institution. Rodriguez earned his bachelor of arts degree in psychology from
the University of Portland and masters of arts in counseling psychology from the University of
Oregon in Eugene.
The new admissions director replaces Greg Vermillion) who resigned in September to assume
a new post in private industry.
...EVERGREEN SPONSORS PRIVATE SHOWING OF KING TUT...There WILL be a way to avoid those long
lines and pushy crowds after all, when the King Tut Exhibit comes to Seattle next July. The
secret is to buy a ticket to a private evening showing, according to Dennis Peterson, Olympia
resident and vice chairman of The Evergreen Foundation.
The Foundation will sponsor a private showing at the Seattle Center July 18, just three
days after the now world-famous show premieres in Seattle. In addition to the exhibit itself, tickets to the Evergreen showing will provide free admission to an advance slide lecture
on Egypt and King Tut by Dr. Mark Papworth , Evergreen faculty archaeologist, who will have
visited the country to gather visual materials and artifacts in June; a dinner buffet at the
Evergreen campus; and charter bus service from Olympia to the exhibit and back.
A planning committee, composed of Olympia community and Evergreen representatives and
chaired by Olympia businessman Fred Goldberg, will finalize details of cost and times for
these events in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, Peterson encourages persons interested in the Exhibit to contact Evergreen's
Development Office, 866-6565, and reserve tickets immediately. He says once the tickets are
available, they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis and those who have indicated
an early interested will be notified first.

...ALASKA STUDENTS TO REPORT FINDINGS NOV. 9... The vast wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula
will come to life Nov. 9 when members of a recent expedition to that area present a free public
slide show beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall Five. The expedition
all 12 weeks of
it
was aimed at better defining plant, animal and mineral resources on the 350-mile long
Peninsula, as well as how human beings use and expect to use those resources.
Under contract to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the eight-member Evergreen student
research team has completed the formal study and is now preparing its findings for the federal
government. Once published, these findings could provide important data for use by Alaska
state and federal agencies and Congress to determine future uses of the Peninsula.
The Nov. 9 presentation will portray the wide array of life and activity on the Alaska
Peninsula. Highlights will include slides of brown bear, caribou, seals and other animal and
plant life in their natural habitat, discussion of native fishing and traditions of Aleut
and other Alaskan peoples, and descriptions of the day-to-day scientific work done by the
Evergreen party.
The Wednesday evening show represents the first public discussion of their scientific
findings and visual documentation of the Alaskan Peninsula.

. . . EVERGREEN SOCCER SQUAD FOUR AND ONE...The Evergreen Geoducks, a men's soccer team competing in the Southwest Washington Senior Soccer Association, has taken four of the first five
games of a ten-game season. The team, which usually plays Sundays at 2 p.m. on the campus
playfield, most recently downed the Centralia College Blazers 4-1 on Evergreen turf.

RODRIGUEZ TO HEAD ADMISSIONS
Arnaldo Rodriguez has been named director of admissions at Evergreen, according to
Larry Stenberg, dean of Enrollment Services. Rodriguez begins work on Nov. 7 and assumes
responsibility for all phases of the college's admissions operation.
Rodriguez has served as the director of admissions and records at Southwestern Oregon

CLASSIFIED STAFF MEETING TODAY AT 3:30
The proposed Christmas Holidays closure at Evergreen will be discussed
at the regular end-of-the-month meeting for classified staff conducted by
Director of Personnel Rita Cooper beginning at 3:30 in Lecture Hall Three.
FOUNDATION SPONSORS PRIVATE SHOWING OF KING TUT
There WILL be a way to avoid those long lines and pushy crowds after all, when the King
Tut Exhibit comes to Seattle next July. The secret is to buy a ticket to a private evening
showing, according to Dennis, Peterson. Olympia resident and vice chairman of The Evergreen
Foundation.
The Foundation will sponsor a private showing at the Seattle Center July 18, just three
days after the now world-famous show premieres in Seattle. In addition to the exhibit itself, tickets to the Evergreen showing will provide free admission to an advance slide lecture on Egypt and King Tut by Dr. Mark Papworth, Evergreen faculty archaeologist, who will
have visited the country to gather visual materials and artifacts in June; a dinner buffet
at the Evergreen campus; and charter bus service from Olympia to the exhibit and back.
A planning committee, composed of Olympia community and Evergreen college representatives,
and chaired by Olympia businessman Fred Goldberg, will finalize details of cost and times
for these events in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, Peterson encourages interested Washingtonians to phone their interest in
tickets to the events
whether tentative or firm —- now, by calling Evergreen's Development Office, 866-6565. Tickets, once available, will be sold on a first-come, first-served
basis, he said, with those who have indicated early interest being notified first.
The King Tut Exhibit includes 55 ancient artifacts unearthed after the discovery of the
boy-king's tomb in 1922 by two English archaeologists. Made of gold and other native materials, the fine workmanship of the relics portrays the height and artistic spirit of the
ancient Egyptian culture.
As the exhibit has moved between major American cities this year, large crowds have
prevented many interested onlookers from getting close enough to displays to detect fine
details of the artifacts and many others from even gaining admission. Private showings,
such as the one the Evergreen Foundation has arranged, are intended to provide a solution
to the problems of the time required to wait in lines for tickets and large crowds blocking
views of the exhibits. The proceeds from ticket sales to the private Evergreen showing
will go to the Foundation for scholarships and other educational purposes, Peterson indicated.

TRUSTEES APPROVE COG III, CALL FOR STUDY ON INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS
After lengthy discussion
and nearly two years' work by faculty, staff and students -I
Evergreen's Board of Trustees approved the second revision of the college governance document
(COG III) Oct. 20. The decision, which places COG III in effect by Nov. 21, followed an open
public hearing which le
to minor wording changes and the renaming of the proposed Geoboard
to the Evergreen Council. Trustees and others who testified at the hearing felt the name
Geoboard, proposed by the disappearing task force which revised the document, would be mispronounced beyond campus boundaries and was inappropriate for the quasi-governmental body.
President Dan Evans told trustees he felt COG III was "worth a try to see if we can't
evolve out of that (governance system) a sense of both participation and understanding of
our governanc e.''
Trustees spent the majority of the four-hour meeting receiving reports on campus issues,
including an update on the Vancouver Outreach program by Faculty Member Lowell Kuehn, a discussion of the Fall Quarter enrollment picture by Evans, a proposal to expand campus playfields, information on the roles and responsibilities of the Council for Post Secondary Education (CPE), and an explanation of the allocation process for Services and Activities Fees,
At Trustee Bob Flowers' request, the board also received an update on Evergreen's graduate
program from Provost Edward J. Kormondy. Last year Evergreen had drafted a proposal to establish a graduate program and sent it to CPE for approval, which must be given before the request can be sent on to the State Legislature. CPE Executive Director Patrick Callan told
the trustees his agency "wasn't terribly impressed" with Evergreen's proposal. "The ball is
back in your court," he noted, adding that, "until we see a final proposal, we can't give you
a time (deadline) for when we can act on it." Kormondy said he felt CPE's lack of enthusiasm
was due largely to objections from "our sister institutions" which didn't like Evergreen's
"undesignated" master's degree program. The other state colleges and universities have to
acquire specific approval for each new graduate program they devise, Kormondy explained.
They felt Evergreen, by having an undesignated degree program, would in effect "have blank^
approval" for all master's programs. Kormondy said he hoped to revise Evergreen's proposaj.
soon and that he would like to see a "small-sized" graduate program in operation as early as
the fall of 1979.
Trustees also heard a proposal to expand college playfields in a phased effort that could
cost more than $644,000. Facilities Director Bob Strecker said the phased expansion would
enlarge exis
outdoor playing fields across Overhulse Road and would offer a full-sized
football/soccer field, an eight-lane 400-meter track, a jogging trail, softball field and
areas for such traditional field events as hammer throw, shot put, high and long jump, and
pole vault. Phase One of the proposal would exclude funds for restrooms, storage buildings,
bleachers, and path lighting, and would bring the cost down to an estimated $464,600 which
Strecker hopes trustees will approve as part of the college's capital budget request to the
1978 session of the State Legislature. Trustees wanted to retain the pathway lighting and
to obtain more precise figures on Evergreen's entire capital budget request before granting
approval. They asked Strecker to revise the proposal so total costs come in under $500,000
and agreed to postpone formal action until their next meeting, Nov. 10.
Flowers, a former basketball player for the University of Washington, also asked the
college to prepare a feasibility study on Evergreen's potential involvement in intercollegiate
athletics. That study will include information on costs, projected student interest, and possible leagues in which Evergreen could participate. No deadline nor responsibility for the
study was assigned at the Thursday session, but President Evans assured the board "will do,"
STUDENT TAKES LIFE
Douglas Close, an Evergreen student from Wayland, Massachusetts was found
dead Oct. 21 in his van parked on campus. The 24-year-old Close, known as one
of the "Disco Kids," died of carbon monoxide poisoning, according to Thurston
County Coroner Ken Eros, who ruled the death a suicide. Close left a suicide
note in his room in the Residence Halls.

FORUM PLANNED TO DISCUSS STRIKE POLICY
The Strike Policy Advisory Group, appointed by the Board of Trustees and President
Dan Evans to examine the recently-adopted Strike Policy and to recommend alternatives,
will bring a discussion draft to the college community at a forum on Nov. 7 at noon in
Lecture Hall Three. Copies will be mailed to faculty and staff late next week and should
also be available Nov. 2 at the Information Center.
The draft document summarizes the history of higher education collective bargaining
and strikes, reviews applicable or potential laws, Evergreen's unionization status and
history, and the actions by the Governor's Office and Evergreen in the face of the 1975
and 1977 strike threats. It presents strike issues, comments on the legality of strikes,
and the special nature of sympathy strikes, outlines various policy approaches, discusses
strike resolution and aversion methods.
The Strike Policy Advisory Group encourages members of the Evergreen community to read
its discussion draft and to comment on it by Nov. 9, so the group may present its final
draft to President Evans in time for him to bring it before the Board of Trustees Dec. 8.
Comments or suggestions should be directed to Les Eldridge. assistant to the president,

GEODUCKS DOWN BLAZERS, TAKE ON SOUTH OLYMPIA SUNDAY
by Andrew Buchman, O.C.R. Sports News Director
The Evergreen Geoducks extended their winning streak to three this Sunday, blasting past
the Centralia College Blazers 3 to 1 in a soccer match distinguished by taut teamwork and
some memorable moments of hoof and head heroism.
"From the beginning it looked as if we were going to take it to them," mused team manager
Kirk Beeler Tuesday. "We controlled the game
the ball passed to our defensive end only
a few times. I don't know if they ever had a direct shot on goal from closer than 30 yards."
Despite this control, and plenty of shots-on-goal, it wasn't till late in the first half
that the ball bit the net. Student John Hitzarth scored on a break-away run and a beautiful
pass from Dale Wilson. Meanwhile goalie Tod Johnson kept up an invisible barrier that
stymied the opposition totally.
The chipped Blazers pressed a little harder in the second half, but Geoduck fullback
Craig Fisher made some fine defensive sweeps that made mish-mosh of the Blazers' best efforts.
Dick Kroon played well at goalie but was robbed of a shut-out on a penalty kick inside the
last two minutes of play.
Two beautiful shots, two more "duck" goals. Assistant Academic Dean Dr. Rob Knapp alertly
punched a blocked shot back past three defenders into the bit mouth's left corner. Student
John Blackham received a standing ovation from the crowd and his teammates for his textbookperfect corner kick, a 40-yard curve ball into the goal's far side.
Sunday the Geoduck's mettle will be put to the supreme test by South Olympia, possibly the
Senior League's best team led by league president George Gunderson, a Tuinwater dentist.

FULLER POETRY BEQUEST TO SUPPORT TEN-YEAR EFFORT
by Carolyn Byerly, Office of College Relations Editor

i
When Carol and Herb Fuller sit among the treasured volumes in their Olympia home library,
talking about the poets of their lives, it's hard to imagine them in more pragmatic roles.
Yet the same couple who takes inspiration from Anne Sexton and the Chinese Tu-Fu, and confirms their poetic convictions through a recent bequest to Evergreen, also dons the robes of
court judges and the hats of private attorneys in a law practice that spans three counties
of lower Puget Sound.
But then, by their own accounting, Carol and Herb Fuller have always been hybrids
products of more than one world.
Since becoming a team more than 20 years ago, their lives together have seen travel between Europe and America,the raising of three (now nearly grown) children, the establishment
of a partnership law practice, and the continued involvement with other things they love —
namely poetry and other arts, the out-of-doors, and their own individual pursuits.
MAINTAIN TWO HOMES
Typical of their lifestyle, the Fullers have for years maintained two residences
the
one they claim as their official domicile at Hoodsport on Hood Canal, and the one maintained
by their children (and sometimes them) in Olympia. The two-home system makes sense to the
Fullers. With law offices at Belfair and Shelton, and a third office and their family in
Olympia, home can be wherever duty calls.
Carol Fuller is a judge for Mason District Court (a half-time occupation), as well as
a partner in the firm of Fuller and Fuller. A specialist in domestic relations and issues,
Carol Fuller was an early advocate for family courts (one was recently established in Thurston County), and she still gives active support to private clients and organizations trying
to cope with child abuse and other results of family strife.
Herb Fuller, once a U.S. State Department Attorney assigned in Europe, now claims special
expertise in public sector labor law
an occupation that frequently calls him into casf
involving public employee rights.
Specialties aside, however, Herb believes that "We are generalists, too
together we
can handle just about any case that comes in." Carol believes a special sense of cooperation
between them has made the Fuller and Fuller duo work. "We've learned how to be partners, and
how to be our own lawyers," she explains.
POETRY "A DYNAMIC PART" OF THEIR LIVES
The partnership concept has also long pervaded other dimensions of their life together.
After falling in love in a legal contracts class at the University of Washington Law School,
and marrying, a newlywed financially struggling couple bought only one set of textbooks when
possible. Remembering those years with a twinkle, Herb muses, "One set worked out fine,
except Carol's marginal notes were distracting."
During those early years the Fullers also discovered their common interest in poetry,
a still dynamic part of their lives. Poetry has helped them "to come closer to the source of
ideas and human history," they claim. By delving into some of the earliest poems, such as
Chinese verse, for example, Herb has discovered many of the ideas and writing techniques that
influenced Kenneth Rexroth, another favorite. Today Herb reads avidly from the Chinese poet
Tu-Fu, Russia's Pushkin, and Germany's Rilke. He also enjoys translating German poems to
English, a pasttime he acquired years ago while living in Germany.
Carol is presently exploring women poets, including the late Anne Sexton and a longtime favorite Carolyn Riser, both Americans.
One ground floor of their Olympia home, located in the South Capitol area, contains a
ceiling-to-floor literary collection that still represents only about half of the total works
they own. Here resides their Russian poetry
possibly the largest private collection in
the nation
and worn old friends like The Museum of Modern Poetry.
Symbolizing their profound belief in the power of poets and their works, Carol and Her
recently established an annual poetry award at Evergreen "to encourage poets in the Evergreen community to share and publish their works." The bequest provides $250 each year for
ten years and assures continuation of Fuller Poetry Awards presented in 1973 and 1974 through
separate donations. The college plans to hold its next poetry festival and award competition
sometime in 1978.

...COOPERATIVE EDUCATION RECEIVES $29,000 GRAM1...Evergreen's Office of Cooperative Education has received a $29,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare
to strengthen its current on-campus program. Co-Op Director Barbara Cooley says the grant
will fund three efforts: development of more intern positions in the college's Vancouver,
Washington Outreach program; initiation of a program similar to the Vancouver effort in
another geographic area of the state; and reinitiation of more meaningful seminars for Evergreen faculty, intern field supervisors and students. The grant will also enable Evergreen's
Co-Op office to provide more national intern placements and to develop programs or components
to better meet minority student needs, Cooley reports.
...FALL ENROLLMENT DOWN SLIGHTLY...Evergreen's Fall Quarter enrollment count is down by 92
persons either way it's viewed -— by head count or by the number of full-time equivalent students (FTEs). Registrar Walker Allen says 2,544 persons enrolled for Fall Quarter, compared
to 2,636 last fall. The FTE total shows 2,404 this fall compared to 2,496 last year.
The figures reflect a slight decline in all areas of enrollment and no major declines in
any one area. They also reflect no clear answers for the slight decline, the first in Evergreen's seven-year history.
...NATIONAL SEARCH BEGINS FOR NEW DEM...Academic Vice President and Provost Edward J. Kormondy has launched a national search to replace Academic Dean Willie Parson, whose four-year
era as a "senior dean" ends in June. Parson, who has been primarily responsible for budget,
facilities and space as dean, will return to the faculty as a biologist next fall.
Long before that Dr. Kormondy hopes to have Parson's replacement on board. Job notices
have already gone out and applications are due Dec. 1. Dr. Kormondy hopes to name the new
dean by the end of January and bring that person aboard in March or April "to participate in
preparation of the 1979-81 biennial budget and also possibly to do some teaching Spring
Quarter."
...FACULTY RETURN FROM SABBATICALS WITH "NEW INSIGHTS"...Evergreen Faculty Members Dr. Larry
Eickstaedt, marine biology, and Dr. Byron Youtz, physics, have returned to campus following
sabbatical leaves which prepared them for new academic programs for the current academic year.
Dr. Eickstaedt spent part of his two-quarter sabbatical leave studying the relationship
between animal and human behavior at Stanford University's developmental psychobiology laboratories. His studies provide the basis for a Spring Quarter program on "The Biological
Bases of Human Social Behavior" which he will co-instruct with Evergreen graduate Sally Mendoza, who is currently completing her doctoral work at Stanford. He believes their spring
program will enable students to conduct original research in the developing field of psychobiology.
Dr. Youtz traveled throughout Europe and the U.S. last year to study solar and other
alternative energy systems. His mission: to learn the principles of researching solar energy
and to catch up on what other nations are doing in research and applications of alternative
systems. His findings are being shared with students this year in a three-quarter, teamtaught program called "Energy Systems
Conventional and Alternative," which will offer
students a chance to design a full-scale energy self-sufficient community for the Thurston
County area.
...CAMPUS CLOSED MONDAY
Evergreen will be completely closed Oct. 24 in observance of
the legislatively mandated Veterans Day holiday. All regular activities will resume on
campus Oct. 25.

horror story, comes to the Evergreen stage Oct. 28 through Oct. 31 to chill the spines of
its audience and set the mood for the festive and frightening Halloween Eve. Directed and
performed by students in the English Theater academic study program, Poe's classic will be
offered as a live radio show, narrated by Portland senior Ted Roisum, complete with gruesome
sound effects and vivid details as he portrays the homicidal maniac who took the life of his
master.
Faculty Director Ainara Wilder says the chilling production will be staged in the
Orchestra Hall of the Communications Building at 8 p.m. all four evenings and again at 10
p.m. on Halloween. Admission is $1 for students and senior citizens and $2 for others.
...CAMPUS SPEAKERS OFFER EXPERTISE TO COMMUNITY...More than 70 Evergreen faculty and staff
members are offering to share their areas of expertise free of charge to organizations and
community groups in the Thurston County area. With the publication of the "1977-78 Speakers
Bureau Catalog," local groups may find the keys to pepping up their monthly meetings,
annual luncheons and other special programs. An extra feature of this public guide to Evergreen's human resources is its inclusion of many speakers' personal interests, as well as
their more academic subjects.
"The Speakers' Bureau," according to College Relations Director Judy Annis, "is a chance
for our personnel to take their stores of subject matter to the community. It's also an
opportunity for our neighbors to gain from Evergreener's expertise without having to come to
campus.
More than 300 copies of the brochure have already gone out to Thurston County organi^ations. Persons wishing a copy are invited to call the Office of College Relations, 866/L28, weekdays during regular working hours.

ENROLLMENT DOWN BY 92
Evergreen's Fall Quarter enrollment count is down by 92 either way you slice it
by
head count or by the number of full-time equivalent students (FTEs). Registrar Walker Allen
says 2,544 persons enrolled for Fall Quarter, compared to 2,636 last fall. The FTE total
shows 2,404 this fall compared to 2,496 last year.
The figures, reported to President Dan Evans Tuesday, reflect a slight decline in all
areas of enrollment and no major declines in any one area. For example, last year 2,144
full-time students enrolled compared to 2,070 this fall. Last year 494 were in part-time
programs; this year there are 474. Last year 2,113 students were Washington residents,
this year 2,041 in-staters are enrolled. Non-residents numbered 523 last fall, they number
503 this year (The percentage stayed exactly the same: 20 percent of Evergreen's students are from out of state.).
The final figures show no clear answers for the slight decline, the first in Evergreen's
seven-year history.
NATIONAL SEARCH BEGUN TO FILL PARSON'S SHOES

r*

Academic Vice President and Provost Edward Kormondy has already begun a national search
o replace Academic Dean Willie Parson, whose four-year term as a "senior dean" expires in
June. Parson, who has been primarily responsible for budget, facilities and space as dean,
will return to the faculty as a biologist next fall.
Long before that, Kormondy hopes to have Parson's replacement on board. Job notices
have already gone out and applications are due Dec. 1. Because Kormondy is concerned that
"at least one woman be represented in the dean's team which is currently all male," he has
extended the search nationwide. That extension does not, he points out "close the door for
internal candidates" and he encourages their applications as well.
Once applications are gathered, a consultative screening team will review them by Jan. 2,
so interviews can be conducted between Jan. 2 and Jan. 15. Kormondy hopes to name the new
dean by the end of January and bring that person aboard in March or April "to participate in
preparation of the 1979-81 biennial budget and also possibly to do some teaching Spring
Quarter."
Evergreeners are urged to encourage potential applicants to apply and to submit names of
persons, agencies or groups whom you would like to receive notice on the position to Kormond;
as soon as possible. Those interested in working with him on the consultative screening grou]
are also invited to contact his office as soon as possible.
CO-OP ED RECEIVES GRANT, OPENS THREE POSITIONS

The Office of Cooperative Education has received a $29,000 grant from the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare to strengthen its current program at Evergreen. Specifically,
the grant has three tasks: to develop more intern positions in the Vancouver Outreach program; to initiate another program like that in Vancouver, in another geographic location in
the state; and to reinitiate more meaningful seminars among faculty, field supervisors and
interns so "a mutual sharing of responsibilities, problems and growth can take place,"
according to Co-Op Director Barbara CoOley.
The grant will also enable the Co-Op office to provide more national placements beyond
the Pacific Northwest and to develop programs or components that meet minority student needs,
including placement, development and evaluation, Cooley says.

To complete grant tasks, a thorough evaluation of Evergreen's existing program needs
to be made, she says. To do so, she's opened three new temporary positions to students
current staff. Applications are due Oct. 28 for the following: a post to expand the volunteer service/career exploration component of the Co-Op program; a position to develop a
supervisor's handbook, and a job to evaluate and determine the publication needs of her
office.
For more information and detailed descriptions of the three positions, Evergreeners are
invited to check the Job Board outside the Personnel Office (Library 3238), the Information
Center, the Job Board in Financial Aid (Library 1200) or the Co-Op office (LAB I, room 1000).
sabbaticals offer new insights
EICKSTAEDT EXPLORED NEW BIOLOGICAL STUDIES
Dr. Larry Eickstaedt is a marine biologist whose developing interest in landed creatures
finally led to a two-quarter sabbatical leave last academic year that was, in part, focused
on them. While on leave from the Evergreen faculty, Eickstaedt explored the relationship
between human and animal behavior at Stanford University's developmental psychobiology labs.
And, come spring, Evergreeners will get the chance to share many of the things he found
and continues to find
in his new pursuit.
Establishing links between animals and humans has become the focus of many recent scientific efforts, he reports. Research on non-human primates, sociobiology and finding genetic
bases for behavior are some of the latest work along these lines.
NEW SPRING PROGRAM OFFERED
"The Biological Bases of Human Social Behavior," a program scheduled for Spring Quarter,
will be team taught by Eickstaedt and Evergreen graduate Sally Mendoza, who is now completing
her doctoral work at Stanford and preparing to serve a one-quarter visiting faculty appoii/
ment here in the spring.
Eickstaedt considers his recent sabbatical and the spring program to be a culmination of
an interest that really"took hold" when he sponsored Mendoza's individual contract in a related field four years ago. He believes their joint teaching effort in the spring will provide a chance for students to do their own original research in this developing field.
Eickstaedt has not, by any means, abandoned his devotion to marine biology. He is presently finalizing research that will lead to one chapter in the nine-volume text Reproductive
Biology of Marine Invertebrates soon to be published by Academic Press. And,he is also
fulfilling another exciting role
team teaching the Vancouver-Puget Coordinated Studies
program. Working with Faculty Members Dr. Bob Sluss (biology), Dr. Pete Sinclair (literature)
and their 40 students, he endeavors to recreate many of the discoveries made by early Puget
Sound explorers. The approach is interdisciplinary, including a study of literature (travel
chronicles, scientific journals, historical accounts of the area) , writing, and marine science
and crafts. In addition, the students and faculty are constructing four wooden boats, which
will provide the vehicles for better knowing and traveling the Puget Sound region.
BOATS AFLOAT BY WINTER
Made of Northwest cedar, the 21-foot vessels are slated to be finished and water-bound
by Winter Quarter. In them, half the class will be "in the field" at once, hence, a weekly
rotation of fieldwork and classwork is scheduled to begin once the boats are launched.
The ultimate goal of the Vancouver-Puget program, according to Eickstaedt, is to write
and publish a natural history of Puget Sound. The final product will evolve out of this
program and will provide original reference material, heretofore nonexistent, for the layperson.
Enthusiastic about the intent and promise of the Vancouver-Puget program, Eickstaedt views
with mixed feelings his anticipated move from its third quarter, come spring, in order to/
teach the Biological Bases program. Yet he also looks forward to laying groundwork in a field
where much progress is to be made, and he anticipates encouraging others to do the same.
YOUTZ INVESTIGATED ENERGY SYSTEMS
Dr. Byron Youtz has just returned to Evergreen after his journey abroad in search of

solar and other alternative energy systems. His year-long sabbatical took him through parts
of the U.S., England, France, West Germany,HoHand, Denmark, Sweden, Greece and Italy. His
mission was to learn the principles of researching solar energy and to catch up on what other
nations are doing in research and application of alternative systems.
His findings are illuminating. Northern European countries
those with the least amounl
of sunshine
are working hardest toward making solar energy practical, he says. "They
see the time when current energy sources aren't going to be around, and they're trying to get
ahead of the crunch."
In Denmark and Sweden, national decisions to move ahead on nuclear power have been delayed, at least another year, Youtz learned, in order to investigate solar, wind and other
sources of power. England is another nation hard at work to test wind power. West Germany,
determined to arrive at new ways of answering the power dilemma, has established "the most
expensive solar heating systems in the world." In Italy he happened onto a project that was
successfully using solar power principles in reverse
to cool buildings.
AMERICAN RESEARCH "ON THE MOVE"
When Youtz and his family ventured abroad late in 1976, the U.S. was "about even"
with other nations in solar research. By the time he returned, "I think we'd surpassed them,
and we're still moving." A physicist specializing in nuclear energy, Youtz has a personal
interest in seeing the advent of solar energy. We haven't answered the hard questions about
waste disposal or cost feasibility of nuclear energy, he claims. And there has been a tendency toward centraliziation of present energy resources and services; solar power could be
used in a variety of smaller-scale (decentralized) ways.
"There is reason to think that solar energy will become a fair-sized portion of the national energy budget," he predicts. And within ten years he sees solar energy to be a source
of electricity, available at "reasonable rates" to the public.
At home again on campus, Youtz has joined with faculty colleague Stan Klyn, a mechanical
engineer, sculptor and designer, to team teach "Energy Systems
Conventional and Alternative," a three-quarter program. Their 30 students are all juniors and seniors with some
technical and mathematical training. Combining theory and practice, the year's activities
will include reading, building instruments (sunshine meters, wind anemometers and measuring
devices of other kinds), and designing solar hot water systems and houses. In the spring,
the group will design a full-scale energy self-sufficient community for this area
in
theory for sure, maybe even in fact.
Dr. Youtz has a major hope for his present program: that it can become a part of a continuing area of scientific work for Evergreen.

sports news
GEODUCKS, TACKLE BLAZERS SUNDAY
The Evergreen Geoducks will take on the Centralia College Blazers Sunday in a men's soccer match set to begin at 2 p.m. on the campus playfield. The game is the fourth of ten
soccer meets scheduled this fall by the recently enlarged men's Southwest Washington Senior
Soccer Association, which includes four Olympia-area squads, three from Grays Harbor, and
the Centralia team.
The Geoducks, coached by student Jacques Zimiki. head into the game with a two-win, oneloss record and a squad that's more than doubled in the past year. Team Manager Kirk Beeler
reports the Geoducks last year saw 15 men turn out for practices four times a week on the
campus playfield. This year, he notes, the squad has 40 kickers on hand for practices and
the Sunday afternoon games.
"The state of soccer at Evergreen is amazing," Beeler notes. In the past, Evergreen
athletes
both men and women
have been mainly interested in non-competitive sports,
concentrating on jogging or swimming. But this year, Beeler says, there's a real change
they're turning out in large numbers and enjoying the fierce competition soccer stimulates.
Many of the Evergreen men players are new to the team and that cost the Geoducks their
first game, Beeler notes. "We lost to Olympia's Chatter box Tavern 5 to 1 because it was
our first attempt to play together competitively and we just weren't a team yet." But the
Geoducks pulled together better in the second game and produced a 5 to 1 win over Saint
Martin's.

By last Sunday, when the team traveled to Grays Harbor College to meet El Sombrero, s
an Ocean Shortes team, "we were able to settle down and play a fine, tight defense" that, V
Beeler says, resulted in a 4 to 1 victory for the Geoducks.
UNITED WAY DRIVE ON

President Dan Evans has accepted responsibility for chairing Evergreen's participation
in the 1977 United Way fund-raising effort. He's appointed Personnel Director Rita Cooper
and Faculty Member Dr. Chuck Nisbet to cochair the effort which, he says, must be concluded
by the end of the month.
Questionnaires have already gone out to the entire faculty and staff, seeking an explanation for Evergreen's previously "very low" participation in United Way, according to
Cooper. "Last year only 14 percent of our employees contributed to United Way
and their
per capita gift was about seven dollars," Cooper reports. "We want to find out why both the
participation rate and the amount of contributions are so small." Cooper says she's hoping
people will fill out the questionnaire and return it as soon as possible so she and Nisbet
can share the information gathered with United Way.
In the meantime, she and Nisbet hope to have completed their personal visits to every
employee by the end of the day. "We're asking each person in person to give to United Way,"
she says. "We're giving them the United Way contribution card and asking them to return it
to us by the end of the month." Their goal: at least 50 percent participation from Evergreen.
Mark your card today and help support 23 human services agencies which help all of us in
Thurston County.
VEHICLE PERMITS DUE NOV. 1

Facilities Assistant Director Dan Weiss reminds all Evergreeners they've
got just five working days left to secure their vehicle use permits through
his office. "Those who don't have one by Nov. 1 won't be able to drive
college-owned vehicles," Weiss warns. "They'll have to take the time to
complete the 15-minute driver awareness program before they can drive our
vehicles." So, he says "do it now and be ready." Stop by Facilities in
LAB II room 1254 today.
YOUTHGRANT APPLICATION DEADLINES ANNOUNCED

Application deadlines for the National Endowment for the Humanities Youthgrants have
been announced for 1978. Nov. 15 is the deadline for Youthgrant projects beginning after
May 1, 1978, and April 15, 1978 is the deadline to apply for funding projects that begin
after Oct. 1, 1978. Complete information on the Youthgrants (which have been won by four
Evergreeners in recent years) is available from Grant and Contract Accountant Bill Zaugg,
866-6451, Library 1103.
SPEAKERJLQFFER SERVICES
More than 70 Evergreen faculty and staff members are offering to share their areas of
expertise free of charge to organizations and community groups in the greater Thurston
County area. With the publication of the "1977-78 Speakers Bureau Catalog," local groups
may find the keys to pepping up their monthly meeting, annual luncheons and other specia^
programs. An extra feature of this public guide to Evergreen's human resources is its
inclusion of many speakers' personal interests, as well as their more academic subjects.
"The Speakers Bureau," according to College Relations Director Judy Annis, "is a chance

November and December when they simultaneously stage three children's plays in Saturday
matinees on campus and in community classrooms on weekdays, and eight performances of Charles
Dickens' classic, "The Chimes." All the dramatic works are part of the year-long study program directed by Wilder and culminating in a six-week trip to the British Isles next spring.
"Our performances all feature works by English playwrights, except for the Halloween
production," Wilder says. "We'll present "Pinocchio," "The Happy Prince," and "The Reluctant
Dragon" in our children's matinees next month," she says. "And, beginning Dec. 2, we'll present the Dickens classic on campus and in prisons and senior centers."
Winter Quarter her Evergreen students will tackle the 1976 Tony award winning play,
"Equus," by English playwright Peter Shaffer. Each of the productions will carry modest
admission charges to help the young actors fund their trip abroad in April.
SELF-HEALING CLASS OFFERED

Two six-week classes in self-healing will be offered to Evergreeners beginning Oct. 27
at 1 and 5:30 p.in. in the Campus Ministries Center, apartment L 103 of Adult Student Housing.
The sessions, which cost $23, are "appropriate for persons who want to protect and enhance
their current state of health and for those who want to work on special health goals such as
reducing tension headaches, improving digestion, or increasing their ability to cope with
stress."
Complete information is available at ASH Center or by calling Callie at 352-2161.

Youngquist, former director of personnel at Evergreen, will speak and answer questions at
the regular end-of-the-month classified staff meeting conducted by present Director Rita
Cooper. A limited number of complete copies of the new HEPB rules will be circulated next
month.
Also slated for discussion next Friday is the proposed closure of Evergreen over the
Christmas Holidays to save energy, a step already planned by the University of Washington.
Cooper says four days of voluntary time off from every staff member would enable facilities
to shut down heat and light for ten full days.
EX-OFFENDERS STAGE OCT. 30 BENEFIT

Three dynamite live, local musical groups will combine talents to stage a Halloween
Party Oct. 30 from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Captain Coyote's on Olympia's Westside. Proceeds

EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS

Academic Dean Will Humphreys has accepted an appointment to the newly-formed board of
the Youth Employment Service, an agency supported by the Olympia-Area Chamber of Commerce
and designed to help persons between 18 and 23 years of age find jobs. Humphreys has also
accepted membership on an advisory committee which oversees a new Tri-Cities Center for
state colleges and universities. Just open, the center is based at Columbia Basin College
in Pasco and seeks to coordinate offerings to that area by state institutions of higher
learning. Classes will be conducted in local high schools and coursework will be for upper
division credit only.
Faculty Member Mary Nelson has been invited by the American Indian Historical Society
to participate in its national meeting Oct. 28 in San Francisco. AlHS, Nelson reports, was
founded in the early 1960fs and involves more than 700 Native Americans from all walks of
life —— scholars, lawyers, doctors, nurses, engineers, journalists and other professionals.
Funded by the Ford Foundation, the agency meets on a regular basis as "a delegated body of
Native American people," Nelson notes. It also serves as a publishing house for Native
American authors. Nelson was a member of the AIHS board for three years and still remains
an active organizational member. She has published several articles through AIHS and is extremely pleased to be invited to the Oct. 28 gathering.
Faculty Member Alan Bailie (management/economics) was invited to Portland State University Oct. 6 to attend a workshop on the use of case studies in the classroom. The sessions
were conducted by Harvard Professors Richard Vancil and Walter Salmon and hosted by PSU P ^n
Don Parker of the School of Business Administration.
Former Evergreen Vice President and Provost David Barry, now dean of the University of
Toledo's Graduate School, writes that he continues to hear regularly from Evergreen students
and has enjoyed contact with them. He welcomes additional inquiries from Evergreeners about
opportunities at his university and says "we want all the good students here we can get."
Dr. Barry also sends his "very best wishes" to his friends on the faculty and staff.

...GRANT FUNDS STUDENT STUDY OF FISHING TRADITION,..Scott Miller, an Evergreen senior, has
been awarded a $9,845 Youthgrant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to document
the culture and craft of the reef netters of the San Juan Islands. Miller, 24, a former
reef netter himself, will spend more than six months chronicling on film the ancient fishing
art developed by the Lummi Indians and practiced almost exclusively by whites since 1913.
The Seattleite
working closely with Evergreen Alum Peter Alkins of Walla Walla —
has already invested nearly a year in anthropological studies of Pacific Northwest Indians
and in technical film production. He says only 81 licenses remain of the original 131
awarded in 1954 to reef netters, most of whom live on Lummi Island and are devoted to
their craft.
"Reef netters don't fish by traditional means to get rich quick," Miller says. "They
do it to preserve their unique relationship to the environment."
Reef netting has steadily declined since the late 1800rs when Lummis were forced onto
reservations and whites began to secure all the reef net sites. Some 69 sites are still
actively fished by reef netters, Miller says. Those fishermen alone retain the tradition
of relying on the rhythm of nature, not the modern mechnical whirl of technology, to harvest
the sockeye salmon of the Frasier River run.
...FACULTY VISITORS OFFER NUTRITION, TV EXPERTISE...Two visitors to the Evergreen faculty
this fall have brought with them talents in the field of television documentaries and nutritional chemistry. Dr. Rich Muller, a visiting professor from Hampshire College in
Amherst, Mass., is already directing a group of students interested in producing an on-campus
televised news program. Dr. Muller, director of educational technology at Hampshire, hopes
the bi-weekly programs will present campus events and issues through a "magazine approach,"
featuring several in-depth stories on each broadcast.
Dr. Jeffrey Bland, on leave from the University of Puget Sound, is a chemist who has
specialized in nutrition and the effects of Vitamin E. Dr. Bland is instructing an academic
program which integrates the political, economic, cultural and scientific aspects of nutrition
for its 30 student enrollees. He says his students will examine research on the nutritional
values of different foods, community nutrition, and the importance of trace minerals to the
diet. He hopes his students' research provides significant, new information in the field.
...UPWARD BOUND PROGRAM ENROLLS 42...Forty-two area high school students from Pierce,
Thurston and Grays Harbor Counties have enrolled in Evergreen's Upward Bound program, according to Director Phill Briscoe. The 42 — all low income students referred to Evergreen
through their high school guidance offices
will work with Briscoe and his staff this year
to improve their basic academic skills, gain exposure to career and life-long planning, and
examine their own motivation and potentials, Briscoe says.
His staff of ten tutors, all of whom are Evergreen students, will begin their assignments
next week at Olympia, Oakville, Rainier, North Thurston, Lincoln, Mount Tahoma and Henry Foss
high schools. Their on-site tutoring will be supplemented with four field trips throughout
the year, Briscoe says.
. . .McKINNON JOINS COUNSELING STAFF...Kathy McKinnon, former director of the Thurston-Mason
County Crisis Clinic, has joined the Evergreen staff as a professional counselor. She will
coordinate activities of the college's counseling center with the assistance of two part-time
clinical psychologists, Dr. Donald Akutagawa and Dr. Ellen Ahana, who maintain private
practices in Olympia.

YOUR AWARENESS OF FISCAL IMPACTS CHALLENGED
By Judy Annis, Director of Information Services
Evergreeners are hereby challenged to a Thurston County Awareness Quiz. Ten points
required for a perfect score. Name the top four employers in Thurston County. Two
points for each correct answer. If you said state government, the combined forces of
the Olympia-North Thurston and Tumwater School Districts, the Olympia Brewery and The
Evergreen State College IN THAT ORDER give yourself eight points.
For a perfect score of ten, answer this second, two-pointer.
What business during the past fiscal year brought more than 18 million dollars into
cash registers and bank accounts in Thurston County? If you said Evergreen, give yourself a perfect score and ignore the rest of this. If you didn't, read on.
According to the Olympia-Area Chamber of Commerce, the top employer in Thurston
County
by far
is state government, which employed 11,000 persons last month,
excluding those employed by institutions of higher learning. Together Olympia, North
Thurston and Tumwater School Districts employ approximately 1,550 persons this year,
ollowed in third place by the Olympia Brewery, with a work force of approximately 780.
Right behind them is Evergreen, which employs about 450 persons, not counting about 350
students hired each year in temporary jobs.
STUDENT IMPACT MEASURED
But those students do count when the impact of the college on Thurston County was
estimated last month by Evergreen Budget Officer Bill Robinson. According to his report,
Evergreen's 2,636 students spent an estimated 11,412,420 dollars in the past fiscal year
for books and supplies, room and board, medical care, clothing, personal care, gifts,
travel and entertainment. The college's 2,030 single students spent $7,673,400, according
to interviews Robinson conducted with a cross section of those enrolled; our 606 married
students spent $3,739,020.
If you take the student expenditures, add the college's 1976-77 payroll of $6,975,724,
most of which is spent within county boundaries, you find the fiscal impact of Evergreen's
students and personnel tops 18 million per year!
But it doesn't stop there. Over the past nine years, Evergreen has spent more than
68 million dollars to construct and equip its buildings. Since 1968, $14,485,435 in contracts have been awarded to 16 general construction firms; $1,175,000 has been awarded to
31 local subcontractors; and $1,350,000 has been spent for locally-produced concrete. An
additional $750,000 has been spent for other local construction products.
LABOR GAINS, TOO
Labor men and women have also felt the weight of the college's economic impact. In
the past nine years more than 1,035 laborers have been involved in college projects and
earned a total of $9,828,000.
Robinson's report points out that Evergreen's economic impact includes capital construction expenses, local purchases, the campus payroll, and student expenditures. "The
.ajor variable is construction," he adds. "All other elements are constant
and seem
to be steadily increasing." That increase, he notes, can't help but contribute to a
healthy economic picture in Thurston County.
Copies of his report are available through the Office of College Relations.

TRUSTEES TO HEAR COG III THURSDAY
The future of Evergreen governance will probably be decided Thursday, when the Board of
Trustees convenes at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112. The five-member board will stage a hearing at 11 a.m. to hear comments on COG III, the revised edition of the campus governance
system. The proposal, drafted by a disappearing task force chaired by Faculty Member Niels
Skov, has been in the mill for more than a year and trustees hope to grant final approval
Thursday. If they do, the new system will become effective the first of December. Full
details on the proposal are available in the Oct. 6 and 13 issues of the Cooper Point
Journal.
Trustees Thursday will also receive a report from Patrick Callan, executive coordinator
for the Council for Postsecondary Education which this year will conduct, a study on Evergreen's cost and curriculum. That study, mandated by the state legislature, "shall determine the actions necessary to broaden the institution's clientele base by introducing traditional undergraduate and graduate course offerings and reduce the institution's total
operating costs per full-time equivalent student to the average cost per FTE student at the
other three state colleges (now regional universities)."
Callen also plans to meet with Evergreen students, faculty and staff Thursday afternoon,
beginning at 3 o'clock in CAB 108.
Also on the trustees' agenda next week are reports from Administrative Vice President
Dean Clabaugh on the Services and Activities Fees Allocation process, Faculty Member LowejLL
Kuehn on the Vancouver Outreach program, and President Dan Evans on a strike contingency
plan.
The meeting is open to the public.
YOUTHGRANT RECEIVED
MILLER TO CHRONICLE FISHING TRADITION

(

jcot/t Miller, an Evergreen senior, has been awarded a $9,845 Youthgrant from the
National Endowment for the Humanities to document the culture and craft of the reef netters
of the San Juan Islands. Miller, 24, a former reef netter himself, will spend more than
six months chronicling on film the ancient fishing art developed by the Lummi Indians and
practiced almost exclusively by whites since 1913.
The Seattleite
working closely with Evergreen Alum Peter Alkins of Walla Walla
had already invested nearly a year in anthropological studies of Pacific Northwest Indians
and in technical film production. He says only 81 licenses remain of the original 131
awarded in 1954 to reef netters, most of whom live on Lummi Island and are devoted to
their craft.
NO WAY TO GET RICH
"Reef netters don't fish by traditional means to get rich quick," Miller says. "They
do it to preserve their unique relationship to the environment."
Reef netting has steadily declined since the late 1800's when Lummis were forced onto
reservations and whites began to secure all the reef net sites. Some 69 sites are still
actively fished by reef netters, Miller says. Those fishermen alone retain the tradition
of relying on the rhythm of nature, not the modern mechanical whirl of technology, to harvest the sockeye salmon of the Frasier River run.
Each reef netter works with two helpers on his own site, awarded him through the 1954
licensing process. That license, which can be transferred through sale or inheritance,
defines his territory and permits him to use only traditional reef netting gear: two boats
anchored to the floor of Puget Sound by cement blocks, a net fixed between and behind them
and a series of floating and anchored lines preceding the boat and mimicking the effects
of a reef, bringing the fish to the surface.
"This type of fishing requires great patience and keen understanding of the nature of (
the tides and the fish," Miller says. "Reef netters don't pursue the fish. They wait for
the salmon to come to them. Once the fish are guided into the net by the artificial reef,
the fishermen then pull the net up to the water line by applying equal force from both
boats. Eventually the salmon are worked into a tight triangle and pulled aboard one of

the boats, manned by two reef netters."
CALM REFLECTION IMPORTANT
When the fish are spotted from atop high ladders called "The Stands" on either of the
cwo boats, the excitement of their arrival is tremendous, says Miller who spent one summer
reef netting near Shaw Island. But, between catches, Miller says, the reef netters, afloat
on the sound and exposed to its environs, have calm periods, watching for more fish and
reflecting on nature and its cycles.
Nature was intimately understood by the Lummis, to whom salmon have a natural significance and are regarded as "spiritual brothers who must be respected," he notes. "Lummis
believed it is within the nature of particular salmon to be caught and that it is within
the nature of other salmon not to be. Because of this, Lummis didn't believe in pursuing
the salmon, but in waiting for the fish to come to them. That way fishing is a more noble
act, one that lets the salmon make the decision."
Miller, who is currently studying Salish and Georgia Straits aboriginal tribes with
Evergreen Faculty Anthropologist Lynn Patterson, says the reef netting tradition dominated
the Lummi culture for centuries and today still colors the daily existence of white and
Indian alike.
But the tradition and its relationship to both cultures faces extinction from many
external pressures. "One oil spill in their areas and reef netters would be finished,"
Miller says. "Their license is for one site only. If that site is irreparably damaged,
they're done."
Miller says the Boldt decision regulating the number of days reef netters can fish
has already affected their ways of life. Modern technology, too, has had its impact.
Reef netters now compete for fewer fish, reduced in part by the number of hydroelectric
dams which affect their spawning grounds, and with more fishermen, many of them equipped
with sonar and echo sounders and large, high-speed boats. But, Miller says, reef netters
are a determined lot, dedicated to practicing their peaceful, ingenious craft as defined
sy the ancient Lummis of the San Juans.
His study of the reef netting, slated to go on film in the spring and summer of 1978,
will be ready for airing on public broadcasting stations —— and at Evergreen —— late
next fall. Thus, he hopes, the same modern technology which threatens its existence may
provide the means to preserve the reef netting tradition and its relationship to the
environment and Lummi culture for generations to come.
His chance to do so would not have been possible, he asserts, without the educational
philosophy of Evergreen and the ever available assistance of Faculty Member Sid White.
"Evergreen enabled me to devote 100 percent of my time to this one study effort," he says.
"If I had had to divide my time among many subjects, I simply couldn't have devoted enough
attention to the research required to pull this grant proposal together."
White, a faculty artist/designer, worked closely with Miller "even when I wasn't a
student," he says. "Sid met with me every week for months
often long hours into the
early morning
helping me prepare for the project when I wasn't even earning credit or
actually enrolled as one of his students."
White will continue to advise Miller as he works toward completion of his project, a
two-year effort he says "I know couldn't have been accomplished anyplace but at Evergreen."
visiting faculty add expertise
MULLER AND STUDENTS TO SPONSOR TV NEWS
Evergreen nears another milestone: the return of an on-campus televised news show!
The biweekly half-hour program, yet to be titled, is the project of a group of Evergreen
students and visiting professor Dr. Rich Muller. Using a "magazine approach," or several
'n-depth segments, the show will present campus events and issues and will broadcast over
_losed circuit Channel Six.
Dr. Muller is sponsoring the project in connection with a half-time television journalism program he is teaching at TESC Fall Quarter. On sabbatical from Hampshire College
in Amherst, Mass., Muller is presently filling his "free" time with those long-postponed
books, polishing two articles for publication, and attending Evergreen's outdoor studies

program
as much for his own edification as
for
fulfilling a "resource faculty"
role.
Confirming the often mentioned notion of Hampshire and Evergreen College similarities,
Muller noted that "they were founded about the same time and have many of the same educam
tional goals." Both schools stress curriculum design for the individual and use narrative,
rather than grade, evaluations.
Hampshire, however, is a private school where Evergreen is public. And, Hampshire was
established by four older, traditional institutions in the Amherst area in order to provide
a modern "alternative" in higher education. The five schools now have a consortium through
which the idea and resource sharing occurs. This arrangement is a contrast to Evergreen,
which is the only four-year public post-secondary school serving Southwest Washington.
At Hampshire, Muller is the Director of Educational Technology. His interest in the
role technology plays in our lives is also illustrated by his 1973 doctoral thesis (Syracuse
University) on the social psychology of computer-human interaction.
Muller's students will have the chance to explore the relationship between TV technology
and journalism
and life
through readings, papers, discussions, and practical application.
As the quarter progresses, he has promised a sneak preview of winter and spring classes.
Meanwhile, stay tuned for details on when the Evergreen TV news show will begin.
BLAND INTEGRATES ASPECTS OF HUMAN NUTRITION
^r< Jeffrey Bland, a chemist specializing in nutrition and a nationally recognized expert on the effects of Vitamin E, began a one-year visiting professorship at Evergreen last
last month.
On leave from the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Bland is integrating the political,
economic, cultural and scientific aspects of nutrition in a course titled Contemporary Human
Nutrition (part of the Health Perspectives program). The 30 students enrolled this quarter
have arrived from all over the U.S., many of them just to study under Bland.
/
At 31, Bland has published extensively in his field and has gained recent attention for
research on cell aging. Eland's interest in nutrition grew out of what he calls "family
tragedies related to nutrition" and his belief that food is "more than what we put into our
bodies for sustenance
it is basic to ethics, spiritualism, and relationships to other
cultures." He lives on a five-acre plot on Fox Island, with his wife Pamela and their two
children, and grows most of his own food, using hydroponic techniques. Cooking is his hobby.
Research on the nutritional value of sprouts, community nutrition, and the importance of
trace minerals to diet are some of the subjects students will address this quarter. As much
of their research is basic, their findings could provide significant, new information to the
field of nutrition.

THIS BALLOON'S ON TRIAL
There's another balloon up on campus already. No, the porpoise has not
returned, but the season for academic planning has. The faculty and deans
have already hung their program proposals for the 1978-79 academic year in
four on-campus locations: the Dean's Area bulletin boards near Library 2219;
the lobby of Laboratory Building, Phase I; outside Food Services on the first
floor of the College Activities Building, and in the Communications Building.
All Evergreeners are urgently asked to review the proposals and offer
suggestions to the deans before the end of next week, when the balloon
goes down.

counseling, referral services for help that is available on and off campus, and workshops
as needed.
Counseling's hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, in Library room 3224.
You're invited to either drop in when you can or call for an appointment.
FORTY-TWO IN UPWARD BOUND
Forty-two area high school students from Pierce, Thurston and Grays Harbor Counties
have enrolled in Evergreen's Upward Bound program, according to Director Phill Briscoe.
The 42
all low income students referred to Evergreen through their high school guidance offices
will work with Briscoe and his staff this year to improve their basic
academic skills, gain exposure to career and life-long planning, and examine their own
motivation and potentials, Briscoe says.
His staff of ten tutors, all of whom are Evergreen students, will begin their assignments next week at Olympia, Oakville, Rainier, North Thurston, Lincoln, Mount Tahomarand
Henry Foss high schools. Their on-site tutoring will be supplemented with four field trips (
throughout the year, Briscoe says.

TRUSTEES FACE FULL AGENDA, AGREE TO REVIEW COG III

Aberdeen Trustee Wesley Berglund faced a full agenda at his first Board meeting last
Thursday. By day's end he and his peers had reviewed Services and Activities fees budgets,
approved an extension of the athletic field, adopted the college's first publications policy, created an Educational Opportunities Program, accepted appointment of an architect to
help with preliminary programming and designing of Phase II of the College Activities Building and agreed to a formal October 20 hearing on the third revision of the college governance
document.
Joining Berglund at the table were three new representatives from faculty, staff and
students. Serving with Trustees as ex-officio members this year will be Student Donna Hayes,
Budget Officer Bill Robinson and Faculty Member George Dimitroff.
President Dan Evans launched the morning meeting with a candid report of the enrollment
picture as of September 28, the evening before. "I think we have to face the fact we're
likely to be something under the number of students we'd like to have to meet our enrollment
contract (for 2,500 full-time equivalents)," he told trustees. "We're not up to last year's
enrollment at the moment," he noted, adding that the final figures will not be clear until
after the tenth class day.
$2.96 MILLION SOUGHT

Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh reported the college will request trustee
approval this month of a 2.96 million dollar capital budget request that must be delivered
to the Office of Financial Management by Nov. 1. Clabaugh said the "only major project" in
the request was "the same as it's been for the past four or five years —- our gymnasium."
That building, an addition to the recreation center, would absorb $2.4 million of the request
for construction and an additional $100,000 for modifications which would enable the college
to comply with Title IX (equal facilities for both sexes) legislation. Clabaugh will also
ask trustees to approve a request for $40,000 to correct hazardous conditions in the Set and
Model Shop; $40,000 to repair the ever-leaking library roof; and $380,000 to expand the outdoor recreation field. In a separate presentation Evergreen will seek $50,000 to make modifications to comply with the latest Rehabilitation Act. That request will come as part of
one from all state agencies.
Trustees then moved to formal business. They approved hiring of the ORB Organization as
planners and designers for an extension of the athletic field, with an estimated construction
tag of $135,000; they reviewed with Recreation and Activities Coordinator Pete Steilberg the
1977-78 S&A budget; and they approved a proposal submitted by Provost Ed Kormondy to change
his staff's organizational chart. The change places a new position — that of Director of
Educational Support Programs — in direct reporting line to Kormondy in place of the Third
World Coalition Director, who will report to the director of ESP. The new program (described
in last week's Newsletter) will get underway as soon as a director is appointed by the provost
COLLIER NAMED ARCHITECT

Trustees also approved a Publications Policy which covers all college publications printed
for public dissemination and labeled with the college name or logo. The policy requires approval for such publications by the president or vice presidents and sets up a publications
review team to monitor all publications for overall quality, consistency, production scheduling and cost control. Board members also approved hiring of Jon Collier as architect for
planning Phase II of the College Activities Building, but not without a number of questions
concerning Collier's background. Student Steve Francis, executive secretary of the S & A

Board, defined for the trustees what Collier's role would be in working with a student design team to develop schematic drawings for the proposed addition or remodeling of the CAB.
He ran into questions when it was discovered that Collier didn't meet the precise minimum (
qualification of "being a registered architect in the State of Washington or N.C.A.R.B."
Instead, Collier is registered in California and the two states recognize each other's licensing registration. After some hard questioning by Trustee Herb Hadley of Longview,
Collier was approved.
Trustees set their next meeting for Oct. 20 after agreeing to place on that day's agenda
a formal hearing to review "COG III," the revisions proposed by a disappearing task force to
the college 1 governance document. If trustees approve COG III, it will become effective
the end of November.
EVANS NAMES TEN TO ADVISORY COUNCIL

President Dan Evans has named ten college staff to the President's Council, an informal
group that he says will meet on call to share information and work on long range planning.
The Council, which met for the first time last Thursday, will "add members" depending on
the issues under discussion, Evans said.
Working with him on the Council last week were: Vice Presidents Dean Clabaugh and Ed
Kormondy, Academic Deans Will Humphreys and W i l l i e Parson, Dean of Library Services Jpyana
Brown, Dean of Enrollment Services Larry Stenberg, Business Manager Ken Winkley, Facilities
Director Bob Strecker, Assistant to the President Les Eldridge, and Director of Information
Annis,
Services
SAGA INTRODUCES SCRIP PLAN; EXTENDS MEAL HOURS

Evergreen's Food Services, a branch of Saga Food Service, Incorporated, is one of the
few of its 360 Saga services operating strictly on a cash or scrip basis, according to
District Manager James Wedge, on campus this week to review the college operation,
The rest of Saga's operations have a "board plan' through which students who live on
campus pay a specified amount for meals they have to eat during certain times of the day.
This year, Evergreen's operation went to a "scrip" system, where students pay either $135
for a scrip ticket book worth $150 or $240 for two books worth $300. They can use their
scrip "just like money," Wedge says. "They can spend scrip any time we're open — at the
snack bar, for regular meals, or at the Deli (the small food store on the main mall of the
CAB)." Scrip tickets are also transferable.
Evergreen s operation has also extended meal hours for breakfast and lunch and added
some specials to every menu. Vonda Drogmund, Food Services director, says breakfast is
now open from 7:45 to 9:30 a.m. weekdays and is provided on "cooked-to-order" basis. Each
morning there s also a breakfast special offered at a reduced price to students. Lunch is
from 11:30 a m. to 1:30 p.m. and also features a daily special at a discount of from 10 to
15 percent. Dinner, still open from 5 to 6 p.m., also provides the daily meal special. A
vegetarian dish is offered every meal, as is fresh fruit.
The scrip ticket system enables Evergreen to have "greater flexibility" than other Saga
operations, Wedge says. "Because we operate on a cash (and scrip) basis, we can offer anything our customers want." Wedge says he has been especially pleased to have been able to
promote Mrs. Drogmund to the Evergreen directorship. "She worked for us five years at St.
Martin's and four year at Evergreen, so when Dick Whiting resigned last spring, we were delighted to promote her," he adds.
Drogmund enjoys her new job and hopes soon to create a student food committee to meet
regularly with her on Saga offerings. She says she's also devoting time on her own to
nutritional studies, a concern Wedge says the national Saga corporation shares.
Evergreeners with concerns or ideas about Food Services are encouraged to talk to
Mrs. Drogmond — and to volunteer to serve on her food committee once it's underway.

faculty in the news
VARIETY OF INTERESTS ENRICH TEACHING TALENT

Missing from the roster this Fall is Faculty Biologist Linda Kahan who has been appointed
program manager for the Division of Science Education Development and Research with the Natonal Science Foundation for one year. Kahan is responsible for arranging the reviewing process for several hundred proposals which will this year be submitted to NSF from all over the
nation. She will also develop funding recommendations on each of the proposals. Provost Ed
Kormondy says Kahan's appointment offers her a chance to gain insight into the funding process at the national level and increases her awareness of trends in science education. "It
also gives her a chance to work with the movers and doers in her field," Kormondy says. Hers
is one of three or four such positions arranged by NSF this year and is considered by Kormondy "a real plum for her and the college."
Kormondy, who has announced his intention to resign as provost at the end of the academic
year, plans to apply for a sabbatical leave next year to pursue studies in "the interrelations between the field of ethics and the environmental movement." He wants to spend half of
his leave in the U.S.; half in Europe preparing himself to return to teaching responsibilities at Evergreen in the Fall of 1979. His leave is, of course, subject to approval by the
Professional Leaves Committee.
ALDRIDGE "IN CONTROL"

Bill Aldridge spent last year on non-academic leave pursuing the challenge, quiet, and
isolation of the woods. On 80 acres of land located in Maytown, Washington he rebuilt a
woodshed into a liveable cabin. Having no experience in architecture, he spent much of the
year acquiring skills in masonry and carpentry. The result: a cabin that is energy selfsufficient and uses only wood, a small generator and lots of human labor.
Aldridge is compiling a book portraying his experience in photographs and reflections.
He says getting in touch with the land, the animals, the light of day and the dark of night
has put him in control of his living environment and his life.
Nancy Allen spent three months of leave in Sydney, Australia researching material on
novelist Christina Stead, whom she met with at her home. There Allen spent many hours going through Stead's personal journals, articles, and media clippings, looking for information linking Stead's personal life to her novels. Allen will be publishing an article on
her search entitled: "Christina Stead and the Female Culture."
This quarter, Allen will be observing volunteer faculty members as an observer in a
program similar to the 1975 Danforth Foundation grant to Evergreen for improvement of teaching among faculty. At that time, several Evergreen faculty were selected to observe their
co-workers in their teaching environments. The fellowship ran out at the end of the year
and so did the program. Now Allen will follow its model, observing volunteer faculty members for a week at a time. Her faculty development process is completely separate from evaluation for retention, and her results will not be reported to deans or the provost. Her
aim is strictly to critique teaching skills in the areas individual faculty members define
as important. She will resume her program responsibilities Winter Quarter and another faculty member will take her position as observer.
Gordon Beck spent last Fall and Winter Quarters exploring five pilgrimage routes in
Europe. Four routes are located in France and all end in Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The different routes are reflective of the various styles of arts found in the Middle Ages.
He drove and walked all the routes, taking over 4,000 slides in the process. Beck says
he's made an intense study of the means of communication along each of the five routes including oral literature, poetry and drama.
He's planning a slide show of his explorations and intends to use his material in an
academic program next year entitled: "The Pilgrim Age: Search for Knowledge in the Middle
Ages."
Nancy Taylor is on leave this year working on her doctorate at the University of Washington. Taylor has her master's degree in history from Stanford University.
Lee Crowe, faculty member in psychology, announced her resignation effective last month.
_Ron Woodbury, soon to be retired from the Tumwater School Board, has already taken his
anticipated free time and applied it to the typewriter — as a weekly columnist for the
Lacey Leader. You can expect he'll be discussing some controversial issues, which he often
did at the board tables in Tumwater. He just doesn't give up —- thank goodness.

Bob Sluss has received high praise from a 1975 graduate now working in Ghana. Grec[
Booth, who studied forest pathology under Sluss at Evergreen, says "Bob was an outstanding" professor who provided "an expanding yet comfortable learning experience" and made
"the Evergreen ideal a reality." Booth says he's currently in West Africa researching a
number of tropical forest diseases through the Smithsonian Institute Peace Corps Environ-/
mental Program. Once he returns home he'll pursue studies in forest disease biology and
management and hopes to continue international research when possible.
FILMER TO GERMANY

Bob Filmer wil1 be leaving campus Monday to attend the International Science and Automation Conference and Exhibit in Dusseldorf, Germany. From there he'll move on to the
Combustion and Environment Conference of the Society of German Engineers in Clausthel, Germany. Next on his two-week agenda is a Symposium on Problems Associated with Design and
Construction in Developing Countries offered by the International Association of Bridge and
Structural Engineers in Munich, Germany. Anyone want to tag along??
Betty Kutter's also going to be doing more traveling this year in relation to her work
on recombinant DNA research. Kutter has been selected to teach a Chautauqua course for college teachers (both scientists and non-scientists) called "Recombinant DNA: Social and Scientific Perspectives." She's co-instructing the session with Dr. Le Roy Walters, head of
Bioethics at Kennedy Institute, Georgetown University, under sponsorship of the National
Science Foundation and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Together
they'll present the course for two days each at three different colleges: Christian Brothers College in Memphis, Michigan State University in East Lansing, and the University of
Missouri in Kansas City. They'll return to the campuses in March for a follow-up session.
Kutter says NSF wanted her to co-direct the program but couldn't find her. Finally,
determined NSF staffers tracked her down last spring in Tromso, Norway, north of the Arctic
Circle, where she was giving a seminar on her research in biochemical genetics. Last
spring Kutter spent six weeks in Europe offering seminars on her research.
Robert Gottlieb spent a month vacationing in the South Seas last summer. He traveled
with his family and Jess and Hanna Spielholz to Fiji, Tonga, and Tahiti. His son, Mark,
made news in the Fiji Times for being the first person to play the violin under water, a
feat he accomplished in the Evergreen pool last year.
(
Sid White took professional leave during last fall and winter to conduct research on
realism, painting and photography in the 19th and 20th centuries. He first completed a
thorough search of books, periodicals and non-print materials dealing with the recent history of painting and photography. He established a conceptual basis for examining the
phenomenon of realism as it relates to painting and photography. After completing this
groundwork, he focused on various photographers and painters who work in the realistic mode.
He traveled to New York where he was able to review original works in museums and galleries.
There he also taped a discussion with Chuck Close, a significant Photo Realist.
From his research White prepared ten carefully illustrated lectures for an art history
module and group contract. The research provided valuable resources for a number of studies carried out by students of recent art and photohistory. White says he also worked on
curriculum planning and design activities while on leave.
Adjunct Faculty Member Craig Hickman has a show on exhibit at the Camerawork Gallery
in the Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. Hickman's one-man show remains on display
through Oct. 21. Formerly a photographer on Evergreen's staff, he's directing a module in
intermediate photography this quarter.
And, Richard Jones is a major presenter for the University of Oregon's symposium on
"The Psychoanalytic Psychology of Sigmund Freud" Oct. 21 and 22 in Eugene. Jones, nationally recognized for his work in psychoanalytic theory and dreams, fantasy and feelings in education, will discuss Freud's theory of civilization at the two-day session.
FACILITIES DIRECTING DRIVER AWARENESS PROGRAM
By Nov. 1, you won't be able to drive a college-owned vehicle unless you've got a TESf
Vehicle Use Permit from the Facilities Office. All budget unit heads are immediately res*
ponsible for informing employees and students about the new program which is the result of
a new state insurance policy.
Assistant Director of Facilities Dan Weiss says the driver awareness program requires
a review of current motor pool policies arid procedures "and only takes 10 to 15 minutes to
complete." Once you've done it, he'll give you your permit. Without it, you can't drive
colleae vehicles.

in education, offering Chamber members an update on the status of the Evergreen '38, a
sailing/fishing craft now under construction on campus.
BILL EVANS DANCERS SLATE OCT. 15 PERFORMANCE

The Bill Evans Dance Company, a professional modern dance group, travels to Evergreen
Oct. 15 on the first leg of its fall tour of the United States. The eight-member Seattle
company, headed by nationally known dancer and choreographer Bill Evans, appears at 8 p.m.
in the main lobby of the Library. Tickets are $3.50 general admission; $2.50 for students
and senior citizens; and $1.50 for children under 12.
The Seattle performers are just beginning a 26-week tour to some 30 communities in 20
states. Their Evergreen appearance, sponsored in part by the Washington State Arts Commission, includes a wide range of dance themes and moods presented in such pieces as "Barefoot
Boy With Marbles In His Toes," "Conjurations," "Tin Tal," and "Five Songs in August."
STUDENTS NO LONGER COVERED TO DRIVE STATE VEHICLES

Due to a new insurance program effective state-wide on the first of October, students
and volunteers not employed by the college are no longer automatically covered by insurance
to drive college-owned vehicles. Business Manager Ken Winkley says he's asked Assistant
Director of Facilities Dan Weiss to require all student and volunteer drivers of college
vehicles to "provide evidence that they have a minimum of $35,000 of bodily injury
and property damage liability insurance for 'non-owned' automobiles." This requirement
is already in effect, Winkley said. But, it does not affect students who are employed
specifically to drive college vehicles. They are still covered.
l
Students who aren't covered on their own policies to drive 'non-owned1 vehicles can
arrange for it on their regular policies for a nominal additional premium. Winkley urges
ALL drivers of college vehicles — including staff and faculty — to check their own
policies for coverage of this kind of driving. It's extra protection he considers well
worth the small increase in insurance premium.

...STILL TIME TO REGISTER FOR FALL...There's still time to register for full or part-time
studies at Evergreen Fall Quarter. Registration for more than 50 part-time study programs
designed to serve community persons during late afternoon and evening hours is open from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Oct. 3, the last day to pay fall tuition and fees.

...EVERGREENERS BRING HOME INVENTORY OF ALASKA PENINSULA...Eight Evergreen students have
returned from more than three months spent conducting an inventory of the animal, plant and
mineral resources of the 350-mile Alaska Peninsula. Instructed by Faculty Biologist Dr. Oscar Soule. the eight traveled by foot, bush plane and their own Zodiac boat, camping under
primitive conditions and sharing adventures with Alaska natives as they sought to complete
a $30,244 contract awarded them last May by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, Department
of the Interior.
The scientific inventory, which students hope to complete by the end of October, will
provide federal and local agencies, native corporations and private interests faced with
making decisions on the future of the Peninsula with urgently needed information on its resources. The study will also define how the area's 3,000 natives and visiting sportsmen,
government agencies and industries use and hope to use those resources.
Once the report is complete^Dr. Soule says, it wiVI offer a scientific chrornclej>£_
the Peninsula's more than 20,000 acres and the research"process TtseTTrWe^Msls^forTurther
research in the area; and a potential foundation for land use decisions that Congress and
public agencies must make in the near future. The students' efforts have already earned a
supplemental financial award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for satellite and other
aerial photographic measurement of the land's features.
But, Dr. Soule points out, it could also serve as an important bridge between Alaska's
past and future. More immediately, it is a tangible source of pride for Evergreen, its eight
students (now graduates), Dr. Soule and "all those who believe in the value of what the
undertaking has produced."

...OCTOBER ESTATE PLANNING SEMINAR ANNOUNCED...The effects of recent federal laws on estates
and bequests will be the subject of a two-part public seminar at Evergreen from 7-9 p.m. Oct.
13 and 20 in Lecture Hall One. Sponsored by the Evergreen Foundation, the Estate Planning
Seminar will focus on the costs of probate, joint tenancy, living trusts, gift taxes, generation skipping transfers, tax exclusions, community property and the Washington State Gift
Tax Law.
"Anyone concerned about the distribution of their property and the meaning of last
year's tax reform regarding their estates should find the seminar useful," according to
Dennis Peterson, Foundation chairman.
~ Serving as faculty for the event wilT be local experts Warren Vadman, a certified public accountant for Vadman, Dimond & Briggs; Frank Owens, attorney, Owens, Johnson, Weaver &
Davies; and Bob Frazier, trust officer, Seattle First National Bank.
Registration fees are $15 per person or $25 per couple. Call 866-6565 by Oct. 7 to
register.

TTTEVENI'NG REGISTRATION OFFERED FOR LEISURE: WORKSHOPS. .TspecTai evening registration hours

have been announced for Evergreen's Leisure Education workshops which begin next week. The
workshops — which provide opportunities for students and community members to enhance their
leisure time at nominal costs — are accepting registration weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
through Oct. 7. Evening registration hours are offered Oct. 5 and 6 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. i
the College Recreation Center.
