83% "placed"

CLASS OF '77 FARES WELL IN JOB MARKET

Six months after they graduated from Evergreen, 83 percent of the Class of 1977 report
they have secured successful placement in jobs, graduate schools or other activities of their
choice, according to a new report
issued by the Office of Career Planning and Placement.
The report, which includes information on Evergreen's 2,394 graduates, shows more than 90
percent of the college's alums who have reported their activities are placed in situations of
their choice, with the Class of 1974 claiming the highest placement percentage -— a whopping
98 percent of those reporting.
The figures, according to Placement Counselor MoJJ.j Pjilllij)s, are based on current information gathered from 80 percent of Evergreen's graduates through exit interviews at the time
of graduation arid through an annual fall survey of alumni activities.
Despite a "still tight job market" and only six months time since completing their
degrees, 338 members of the Class of 1977 who reported their activities (405 out of 537) not
successful placement in jobs (66%), graduate schools (9%), or situations of their choice
(8%), such as homemaking, traveling, or applying to graduate schools. Of those employed, 50
percent are working in their areas of interest (including 6% who are self-employed); 16
percent are working in other areas. The remainder of the Class of 1977 includes 17 percent
who are seeking employment, 9 percent accepted to graduate schools, and 8 percent who are not
looking for any placements.
COUNSELING STILL POPULAR CHOICE
The career areas attracting the most students from the Class of 1977 are: counseling
and social services, in which 17 percent of reporting alums are employed; business and
economics, attracting ten percent (or nearly double the number of graduates employed in the
field compared to the Class of 1976); environmental science and planning, drawing eight percent; and visual arts, graphics and crafts, attracting seven percent of employed graduates.
Other areas of employment showed education drawing six percent of employed 1977 alums, and
public administration and law enforcement/fire prevention, each attracting five percent.
A special survey of the Class of 1977 was also conducted by Phillips to determine "level
of employment: professional, requiring a degree; para- or pre-professional; and non-professional." Some 187 employed graduates were surveyed. Sixty-five percent of those reported
employment at a professional level, including such jobs as city planner, teacher, chief of
police, employment specialist, research analyst and financial supervisor. Nineteen percent of
those surveyed were employed at pre-professional levels, holding such titles as television
broadcast assistant, soil conservation technician, engineering aide, marine technician or
statistical compiler. An additional 16 percent of the special survey were employed at a nonprofessional levels including jobs such as office manager, secretary, waiter or tree topper.
Phillips says that "compared to last year (Class of 1976) , this survey shows our graduates
are maintaining their professional level of employment, have increased in the percentage employed at a pre-professional level, and declined in the number employed in non-professional
jobs.
ADMITTED TO 95 GRADUATE SCHOOLS
Nine percent of the Class of 1977 is attending graduate schools, compared to six percent
of the Class of 1976 at the same period last year. That percentage for the Class of 1976 has
since climbed to 11. Overall, Evergreen alums have been admitted to 95 different graduate
chools ranging from John Marshall Law School to Miami University, University of Washington to
^uke, Cornell, Stanford and Texas A & M Universities. Acceptance of Evergreen credit has been
no problem for any of those alums reporting, Phillips notes.

Fifty part-time courses, forty of them in the evening, will be offered by Evergreen /Spring Quarter, according to Academic Dean Dr. Will Humphreys. The courses, which vary frl.
subjects in management and computer sciences to the arts and humanities, will be fully described in a Spring Quarter "Swingshift" brochure due off the presses Monday (Feb. 27).

INAUGURATION SUNDAY PROMISES TO BE^JIFFERENT_THAN^72 CEREMONY
Evergreen will inaugurate its second president Sunday in public ceremonies set to begin
at 3 p.m. in the main lobby of the Daniel J. Evans Library. The building, named before the
college opened, was dedicated in 1972 with the help of the man who will formally assume the
college presidency Sunday. Daniel J. Evans, then governor of the state, told participants at
the college's first inauguration six years ago that, "If Evergreen is to fulfill its commitment as an institution, it must dream not the small dreams, but the very large dreams."
Sunday he will formally begin directing Evergreen toward its fulfillment when he delivers
a brief inaugural address. The setting and the main speaker for the Feb. 26 ceremony are the
same as they were at the first inaugural. But the ceremony is destined to be far different.
Visitors to the 1972 inauguration were greeted by protestors and a flag flown at half mast for
the Vietnam War Moratorium. Then Governor Evans and newly inaugurated President Charles J_.
McCann donned black armbands and recognized, in brief remarks., students' frustrations with
what seemed a never-ending war.
(
"REPLACE HOPELESSNESS WITH HOPE"
But Evans did not confine his remarks to the nation's present on that Friday afternoon
of pageantry six years ago. Instead he urged his listeners to tackle unsolved problems within
the country and "to replace hopelessness with hope
to reach out and meet the needs of the
people."
At his own inauguration Sunday, Evans will respond to a series of greetings delivered by
seven representatives of the college's constituencies. Offering those greetings will be:
Congressman Joel Pritchard; Secretary of State Bruce^ Chapman; Director of Fisheries Gordon
Sandison, a member of the 1967 legislature which founded TESC; Herbert D. Hadley of Longview,
who has served on Evergreen's board of trustees for the past decade and is its current chairman
and Evergreeners Mary_ Ellen Lewis;, a 1975 graduate who serves as college admissions officer;
Karen Kramer, a junior who graduated from Sehlton High School; and Dr. Richard Jones, a member
of the original Evergreen planning faculty who arrived in 1970, the year before Evergreen
opened to students.
Music selections will be presented by the Evergreen Jazz Ensemble directed by Faculty Membe
Donald Chan,, and the Madrigal Singers, directed by Adjunct Faculty Member Joan Wind en. The
Reverand James Symons of the Community for Christian Celebration will deliver the invocation
and Brother Ronald^ Hu£s_t, O.S.B., of Saint Martin's College, will offer the benediction. Vice
President and Provost Sd_ Korjnondy will emcee the ceremonys which is expected to conclude about
4 p.m.
AUSTRALIAN EDUCATOR HEADLINES BANQUET
A recpetion and banquet, for which advance reservations are required, follows the public
ceremony beginning at 6t30 p.m. in the Greenwood Inn of Olympia. Headlining the banquet is
Australian educator Dr. John Ras_er, dean of the School of Social Inquiry at Murdoch University
in Perth, Australia. Dr= Raser, who has extensively studied innovative educational instit-(
utions throughout the world, will discuss "Evergreen: An International Perspective." The
American-born professor was a member of the founding faculty at Murdoch, a university opened
in 1975 offering liberal arts degrees and emphasizing interdiscipliary studies.
A photographic history of Evergreen's first decade will also be presented by Media

— 3 —
Services, along with musical selections by a group of Evergreen and community musicians, including Faculty Members Donald Chans Charles Pailthorp, Joan Winden and William Winden;
Brother Aelred Woodard of Saint Martin's College; and Mary McCann Zamora, an Evergreen alum.
Reverand Tricia Hamiltont Evergreen's campus minister, will present the invocation and
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh will serve as master of ceremonies for the
banquet, which will conclude with remarks by Evergreen's newly invested second president.
TRUSTEES FACE LIGHT PRE-INAUGURATION AGENDA
Evergreen's Board of Trustees meets tomorrow at 4 p.m. in Library 3112 to consider
adoption of a new tuition and fee schedule for the next academic year, approval of an agreement with the Washington Commission for the Humanities, and a number of presidential reports.
Proposed tuition for the 1978 Summer Quarter session is the same as last year: $197 for
full-time residents or $79 for one unit for in-staters. But, proposed tuition rates for the
1978-79 academic year will increase $9 per quarter
to $206
for full-time resident
students. Fees for non-resident students, which took a big jump last fall, will remain at
$661 per quarter. Fees for resident students taking one unit will increase from $79 to $83
and for two units, from $118 to $123 in the new proposed schedule.
The proposed agreement with the Washington Commission for Humanities establishes guidelines for college services to WCH and reimbursement, to the college for those services. It
has already been approved by WCH's executive committee.
Also scheduled for Saturday's meeting are an update on the status of Evergreen's suit
against the Veteran's Administration, discussion of space arrangements for the college's
Outreach Program at Clark College, and a report by Faculty Member Dr. Virginia Ingersoll on

upcoming events
"EQUUS" OPENS THURSDAY FOR EIGHT PERFORMANCES

"Equus," a play marked by simple scenery and complex human emotions, opens at Evergreen
March 2 for the first of eight evening performances in the just finished Experimental Theater
of the Communications Building. Directed by Faculty Member Ainara Wilder, the contemporary
drama will be performed by a 13-member student cast March 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12,
beginning at 8 o'clock each evening.
The play, written by British playwright Peter Shaffer, relies on flashbacks to trace the
complicated web of feelings uniting a frustrated child psychiatrist in a provential English
hospital with a teenage psychopath who has committed the horrifying act of blinding a stable
full of horses. "It's a drama which questions the tendency of many of us to accept well-ordere
watered-down existences without passion or anger," Wilder explains. It requires the teenage
patient to relive the horror of his own actions and the failures of his young life as part of
what she calls " the healthy process of abreaction which will cure him of his obsession with

- 4horses. "The cure," Wilder adds, "also kills the boy's ability to search for something
higher than himself."
Stage action in the Evergreen production builds to a "violent and naked climax" in
which the teenage patient relives his agonizing moments, Wilder says. "The sequence require
a brief nude scene and persons who prefer not to view it should not attend the performance."
"Equus" is the first performance to be staged in the college's Experimental Theater. The
production is simple and exact, with plain scenery and unusual horse costumes made of 'sculpted
wire and elevated iron hooves. All props and characters remain on stage throughout the play.
Starring as the drama's two protagonists are Ted Roisum, a Portland student playing the
psychiatrist Martin Dysart, and Tim Streeter, a Panama Canal freshman portraying Alan Strang,
his teenage patient. Also cast in the contemporary drama are David Raddatz of Lacey as
Strang's father and Linda Browne of Tacoma as his mother. The cast also includes Martha Woodhull, Elizabeth Price, Beriah Brown, Charles Williamson, Ernie Ellison, Jessica Huntting,
Kevin Porter, John Koch and Peter Tooke.
Connie Monaghan is stage manager; Kevin Porter and Dennis Kochta are handling set design
and Louise Hitchins is choreographer.

/

Five more students have recently reported their activies to their alma mater. Sharon
Schofield writes she's now employed as a real estate agent for Barbo-Daniels and Company in
Olympia and has just been appointed to the Lacey Planning Commission. Sharon is also a representative from Barbo-Daniels to the Olympia Area Chamber of Commerce. Karen Pearson, a
native of Amanda Park, Washington, is working as a forestry technician for the U.S. Forest
Service in the Olympia National Forest, Quinaoh. She's a project leader in "silviculture" and
heads the "timber stand improvement section contracting pre-commercial thinning," she says.
Eric Bardsley and Craig Apperson report they have had a paper accepted for the national
conference of the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama (ASGPP), which
meets in April in New York City. The two conducted their work at Western State Hospital on
"Psychodrama with the Criminally Insane." Eric is completing his master's degree in counseling at the University of Puget Sound and is also earning certification as a psychodramatist
training under Dr. Dean Elefthery5 president of ASGPP. He's also employed as a therapist at
Western State Hospital and as an adjunct faculty member at Green River Community College in
Auburn. Craig is conducting research in forensic psychology and prison systems reform for
the State Office of Research and studying psychodrama with Dr. Leon Fine. He plans to enter a
graduate program in clinical psychology next fall.
Linda Rasmussen, a June graduate, is serving an internship with the Alliance for Arts
Education at the Kennedy Performing Arts Center in Washington, D.C., on leave from her staff
position at Arts Resource Services in Seattle. She writes that, "While in D.C., I've used a
lot of my time visiting with people who work in various areas of arts management...! realize
I have become, in a very short time, a 'professional'. I also recognize that my experiences
have been with some of the most innovative project areas in relation to employment and the
arts." She says she believes "My Evergreen experience and my subsequent internships have
given me the background, the confidence and the resourcefulness that has made my post(
graduate work challenging, enjoyable and successful."
UPWARD BOUND SEEKS COUNTY STUDENTS
Sophomores and juniors in five Thurston County high schools are invited to apply immediately for admission to the Upward Bound program underway at Evergreen. Phill Briscoe,
director of the federally-funded program which is based at, but academically separate from,
TESC, says he is hoping to admit low income students from Olympia, North Thurston, Rainier,
Yelm and the Off-Campus High School to his program as soon as possible.
"We're already half-way through the academic year," Briscoe says, "and we're eager to
assist students who need help in sharpening their basic academic skills and deciding what
they want to do after high school."
Assisted by an educational coordinator and nine part-time tutors, Briscoe offers
Thurston County students individual tutoring, motivational counseling and career exploration
in their own areas throughout the academic year. For those who are interested, Upward Bound
also offers a six-week summer program which enables students to live on campus and attend
classes, sharpening their skills and refining their future plans.
"It's important for potential students to realize that we are not recruiting for Evergreen," Briscoe adds. "We want to help our enrollees explore options they may choose after
they've finished high school. Evergreen
and other four-year schools
are among those
options, but so are community colleges, vocational schools and apprenticeship programs. We
will help students consider them all," he adds. "We don't want to box anybody into anything."
Fifty-six students from Thurston, Grays Harbor and Pierce Counties are already enrolled,
but Briscoe says, "We've still got room for a few more students from this area."
Persons interested in applying to Upward Bound may do so either through their own higV
school guidance offices or through Briscoe's office (866-6011).

ceremony at 6:30 p.m. at the Greenwood Inn. Tickets, at $9 each, are available through the
Office of College Relations, 866-6128.
...YOUTZ EXPLORES ENERGY OPTIONS TOMORROW..."Energy from the Oceans," an investigative field
gaining increasing attention in the technical world, will be the subject of a free public
lecture by Dr. Byron Youtz, faculty physicist at Evergreen, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. in Lecture Hall
One,not in the Recital Hall as previously announced.
Part of the Tuesdays at Eight concert/lecture series, Dr. Youtz' presentation will
explain theories currently being tested for using ocean wave and tidal action and temperature
differentials in someday helping to supply what he deems "our nearly insatiable energy
demands."
A special feature of Dr. Youtz' lecture will be color slides of the Tidal Energy Center
on the Brittany Coast of France, the only tidal power plant operating in the world. Youtz
'.sited the site last year while conducting a study of alternative energy centers in seven
western nations.
Since his return, Dr. Youtz has joined faculty colleague Stan Klyn, a mechanical engineer,
designer and sculptor, in team teaching a year-long study of conventional and alternative
energy systems. Their 30 advanced-level students, who are combining a study of energy theory
with practical application, expect to culminate their efforts Spring Ouarter with full-fledged
design of an energy effective community appropriate for Northwest America.

"NIGHT OF THE IGUANA" OPENS THURSDAY
"Night of the Iguana," a drama hailed by critics as one of the greatest plays by America's
most important playwright, opens for the first of five productions Thursday, (Feb. 23) at Evergreen. Tennessee Williams' classic begins at 8 p.m. Feb. 23-26 and at 2 p.m. Feb. 24 in the
college's Communications Building.
Directed by Evergreen Faculty Member Andre. Tsai, the Winter Quarter production will transform the college's new Recital Hall into a dilapidated Mexican hotel with old-fashioned understage water works surrounded by lush tropical rain forests and populated by what Tsai calls
"tortured souls struggling for life and a meaningful existence."
Performed by a 14-member student cast, the "Iguana" takes its audience to a Mexico resort
in 1940 and depicts the lives of "captured iguanas"; those persons doomed but still struggling;
"iguana eaters"; and "iguana tormentors." "The clashes among these persons illustrate the
struggle between destruction and creation,, cruelty and compassion, sensuality and spirituality,"
Tsai says. "The drama deals with timeless themes involving man's existential loneliness and
unrelenting quests for love and understanding in the face of rapidly approaching death, symbolized by the fast growing tropical plants surrounding Iguana's players."
Heading the all-student cast is Becky McAninch, an Olympia High School graduate who shares
t-^e lead with Carrie Randlett of Easton, Pennsylvania and P.C. Bower of St. Albans, West
.ginia. Other members of the Iguana cast include: John Boyd of Shelton; Laura Bushnell of
Purdy; Mark Putton, Lawrence, Kansas; Dory Farash, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey; Amy Fowkes,
New York City; Bennett Fuchs, Demarest, New Jersey; Chuck Hamel, Tacoma; Joe Rice, Houston,
Texas; Gary Strandt, Milwaukie, Oregon; Katherine Tester, Kelso; and Brenda Wunsch, Puyallup.
Set design and technical direction has been done by recent graduate J.C. Wills.
General admission to the four evening performances and the Friday matinee is $3; students
are admitted for $1.50.
EVANS' INAUGURATION NOT HIS FIRST
It may not be the first inauguration he's ever attended, but when Daniel J. Evans formally
assumes office at Evergreen Feb. 26, it will be the first time he's been the recipient of the
title, "Mr. President." The state's three-time former governor says he's participated in
inauguration ceremonies from Pullman to Bellingham, Seattle to Washington, D.C. In fact, he
notes with a smile, "I've been sworn in four times (as a state legislator from the forty-third
district), inaugurated three (as governor) and sworn at innumerable times since."
The man who helped inaugurate college presidents throughout the state officially joins
their ranks next Sunday in formal ceremonies set to begin at 3 p.m. in the library which bears
his name.
The formal investiture heralds the beginning of a new career for the former engineer who
served 20 years in state government before retiring in January of 1977. During at least ten
of those twenty years, he was an active supporter and participant in the affairs of the college
over which he assumed leadership last June.
AN OBVIOUS MOVE
It seemed an obvious step for Evans, who drove the bulldozer in June of 1969 which broke
t, jund for the first college building. It was Evans who spoke at the inauguration of Charles J.
McCann, the college's founding president, in April of 1972; it was Evans who rappelled down the
length of the school's landmark clock tower in the Spring of 1973; and, it was Evans who
defended the state's newest four-year college through its first five years of battles "on the
hill" five miles southeast of the 1,000 acres Evergreen students call home.
As governor, Evans recalls participating in inaugurations for a variety of state educa-

— 2—
tional leaders — from community college presidents to university heads. It was also in his
role as governor he participated in two national presidential inaugurations — in 1969 and
1973. "As governor I missed the first chance to attend a presidential inauguration in 1965
/
because we were in the midst of a legislative battle over redistricting," Evans recalls. "I'cronly been in office a few days and I just couldn't be out of the state during the debate."
Of the two Nixon inauguration ceremonies he did attend, Evans vividly remembers the 1973
event where "I sat next to the governor from Georgia, a man named Carter."
The 3 p.m. Sunday inauguration ceremony is free and open to the public.
FOUR FINALISTS INTERVIEWED FOR BUSINESS OFFICER
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh and a disappearing task force this week
expected to complete interviews with four finalists for the post of business officer, vacated
when Bill Robinson accepted a new job with the Office of State College and University Presidents.
Scheduled to be interviewed yesterday and today were: Michael Bigelow, educational planner in finance for the Council for Postsecondary Education; Carolyn McCalden, research analyst
for the Senate Higher Education Committee; Sarah Perkins, fiscal officer for'the Health Services Division of the Department of Social and Health Services; and Thomas Keller, director
of budget and institutional research at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.
Clabaugh hopes to receive evaluations from d.t.f. Chairman Al Spence, President Dan Evans
and others who interviewed the quartet early next week, so he can announce the new position by
Feb. 24. He'd like to have the vacant position filled early in March.
Members of the d.t.f. include Spence; Faculty Members Betty Estes and Duke Kuehn; Academic
Dean Willie Parson; Enrollment Services Dean Larry Stenberg; Business Manager Ken Winkley,
and student Marney Pierce.

APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID NOW
Laura Thomas, director of Financial Aid, says the time has come to apply
for financial aid for the 1978-79 academic year. "We have the necessary forms
available in Library 1200 and urge anyone who is planning on applying to do so
as soon as possible," she says. Final deadline for applying is May 15, but
financial aid is offered to eligible students on a "first-come, first-served
basis" so she advises students to get their forms in early.
report from Hawaii
TROPICAL REEF STUDENTS ENJOYING "PRIMITIVE" EXISTENCE
While most Evergreeners skid to work on black ice and huddle under umbrellas, 31 students
and Faculty Members Dave Milne and Peter Taylor from the "Tropical Reef Ecology" program
report their research efforts are "going nicely" and they've all readily adjusted to life in
Hawaii, where they'll be on location for six weeks.
The crew left campus Jan. 23 for an eight day stop in Honolulu, where they visited a
number of Hawaiian study sites in preparation for their reef explorations. Students saw the
Waikiki aquarium, the Hawaiian Institute of Marine Biology on Cocoanut Island, and the Bishop
Museum. They also participated in what Milne calls a"spectacular fish identification exercise"
at Hanauma Bay with students from the University of Hawaii's Marine Option program. "Most of
us saw more species of fish in a single afternoon than we've seen in a lifetime," Milne
observes. Students also enjoyed the surf, "the long, clean beaches," the palms and the balmy
weather before they left for Maui Feb. 1 with their 115 pieces of luggage and equipment.
Settled at Camp Pecusa until the first of March, students welcomed Valerie Woods of
Olympia, a diving safety officer who supervised shipment of a "mammoth pile of scuba equipment
from Olympia."
WORKING TOWARD REEF PRESERVATION
The setting, Milne reports "is relatively primitive. We're living in small A-Frame cabins,
cooking our own meals in the camp kitchen. The beach is at our doorstep and excellent reefs

-3occur about 100 yards offshore." By last week, Milne says, their "pre-planned research efforts
were beginning nicely." "We discovered after our arrival that our reef is probably the secondt
; on Maui, and a prime candidate for preservation," he says. "Our studies, in fact, may
hoTp to ensure that it be declared a protected area — and we're working with this in mind."
Students are divided into study teams examining: the ecology of cleaner waisses (fish
which remove parasites from others); ecology and zonation of corals, distribution of sea
urchins on the reef and their role in destruction of reef rock; behavior of lobsters, shrimp
and crabs; schooling of some small fish, the territorial behavior of damselfishes, and numerous
other topics. Students are also attending seminars on the literature of reef and island
biology, listening to faculty lectures, and enjoying contacts with visiting speakers.
Milne says the group hopes to compile all results into a series of papers for possible
in-house publication when they return. He also promises "a terrific slide show and adventure
story."
EXCITING DISCOVERIES EVERY DAY
The group has totaled more than 500 diver hours conducting underwater explorations and,
Milne says "our work is really fun — new and exciting phenomena crop up every day and the pace
of new discovery hasn't dimished a bit." They've found many unexpected features of the reef,
"particularly the fact that invertebrates seem to be so scarce," he says. "Thus far we've
found only one starfish."
Weekends are spent hiking and camping in the West Maui mountains, body surfing, visiting
the Haleakala Crater, and scuba diving in other locations.
"Our setting is truely beautiful," he adds. "We face toward the south and can see the
islands of Kahoolawe and Hawaii...and the exposed rim of a small sunken volcano. The humpback
whales are at play in the waters directly off our campus and can be seen at almost any hour of
the day...The stars are spectacular at night and, thanks to the college's spotting scope,
we've spent many hours watching Jupiter, Saturn, the moon and other celestial objects. Everyone has acquired a healthy, bronzed appearance and Olympia and its rain seem very far away."
To reduce the distance a bit, he invites letters to: The Evergreen State College study
team, Camp Pecusa, Rural Route #1, Olowalu, Lahaina, Maui, 96761.

EVERGREENERS TO PERFORM AT SAINT MARTIN'S
A free program of Twentieth Century music will be presented jointly by the faculties of
Evergreen and Saint Martin's College Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. in Saint Martin's Abbey Church. The
program is part of an ongoing series in Twentieth Century music organized by Evergreen faculty
member Dr. Greg Steinke, a performer in the Tuesday evening concert.
Music by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Arthur Honegger, Charles Ives, and Oliver Messiaen will
be included on the program, as well as liturgical vocal and organ music by St. Martin's

-4Brother Ronald Hurst, O.S.B.. Other performers include Brother Aelred Woodard, O.S.B., and
organist Jane Edge, an adjunct member of Saint Martin's faculty.

SPANISH UNION LEADER TO SPEAK
Miguel Mesa, a representative of the Spanish National Confederation of Labor (CNT) will
discuss "Spanish Labor: The Rebirth of Unionism in Post-Franco Spain" at Evergreen Thursday
beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall Three.
His talk, sponsored by the Evergreen Political Information Center and the Tacoma-Olympia
Branch of the Industrial Workers of the World, is free and open to the public.
Mesa says that the end of 36 years of the Franco dictatorship has ushered in a period of
great social upheaval in Spain. His talk will discuss ways in which working peoples of Spain
are responding to the change, which has legalized unions for the first time since 1939. The
CNT, which Mesa represents, is the only major Spanish union not tied to a religious or political
group and claims a membership of 200,000 in such diverse jobs as teachers, transport workers,
metallurgical plant employees, entertainers, graphic artists, and construction, agriculture,
fishing and department store workers.
EASTERN'S CHAMBER ORCHESTRA HERE FEB. 27
The Eastern Washington University String Chamber Orchestra will appear in a public concert
at Evergreen Feb. 27, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
Directed by Dr. Wendal S. Jones, the 20-member ensemble of selected string players features
three EWU faculty artists: Kelly Farris, violin; C. Webb Coffee, flute; and James Edmonds,
harpsichord.
Their free Monday evening program will include Bach's Brandenburg Fifth Concerto, Variations on a Theme of Tchaikowsky by Arensky, Concerto Grosso in D by Geminiami, and Concerto
No. 4 (Winter) by Antonio Vivaldi for violin and orchestra.
All members of the Chamber Orchestra participate in Eastern's Symphony Orchestra and will
be on a three-day tour of Western Washington sponsored by the university and its Associated
Students.
GONG SHOW PROMISES "LESSONS IN HOW TO LAUGH"
Thanks to the efforts of four determined staffers, Evergreen employees may relearn "how
to laugh" March 17 when the first annual "Gong Show and Crab Feed" is staged from 5 to 10 p.m.
on the fourth floor of the Library.
Personnel Director Rita Cooper, Facilities Assistant Dan Weiss; Custodian Cleveland Green
and Associate Library Dean Dave Carnahan have combined talents (?) to organize a show they say
"will make us all laugh." "Life is a Gong Show," Cooper explains. "We think it's time folks
around here learned to accept the fact that life at Evergreen is also a Gong Show and that
laughter is the best way to deal with it all."
The festivities will feature, says Cooper "lots of acts — and some talent" by campus
"stars", including Evergreen's Very Own Playwright Malcolm Stilson; Songsters Les Eldridge
and Larry Stenberg; Musicians Will Humphreys and Charlie Teske; and Band Leader Tex Mitchell,
whose country/western group promises to keep the floor bouncing.
On tap for the hungry participants is beer, crab, tossed salad and garlic bread — and
possibly a few cream pies ("But, they won't be to eat," Weiss grins.) Cost of the five hours
of frolic is $5 for adults and $2.50 for children. Volunteers are needed to help organize
and clean up after the festivities — and to perform before a judicious group of gongers.
"We're hoping talented types or just brave fools — will volunteer soon to perform," says
Cooper. "Anyone who's willing to do anything should contact any of the four of us right away."
Watch coming issues of this Newsletter for more details on a Saint Patrick's Day you won,'^
forget (how ever hard you may try).
STUDENT MEETING ON LEARNING SKILLS SET
Students with reading or writing problems are invited to a meeting Friday (Feb. 24) from

...PLANS FOR PRESIDENT'S INVESTITURE ANNOUNCED...Daniel -J- Evans will be formally invested
with the powers of the presidency of Evergreen Sunday, Feb. 26, in a public ceremony set to
begin at 3 p.m. in the main Library lobby. Named president in December of 1976 as he completed three terms as governor of the State of Washington, Evans assumed the office June
15, filling the position held by Evergreen's founding president, Charles J. McCann, since
1967.
The Feb. 26 ceremony will feature a series of brief "greetings and charges" from representatives of the college's many constituencies, followed by a response to the charges from
President Evans. A reception and banquet will follow the afternoon investiture beginning
at 6:30 p.m. at Olympia's Greenwood Inn. The investiture ceremony is free and open to the
public. Admission to the banquet is $9 per person. Advance reservations are required for
the banquet and tickets are available through the Office of College Relations.
...TUMWATER AND CAPITAL STUDENTS EARNING EVERGREEN CREDIT...Cooperative efforts between
Evergreen and two Olympia area high schools now make it possible for advanced students to earn
college credit while working toward their secondary diplomas. Nearly a year in the making,
the joint college-public schools program could, if successful, signal a continuing innovative
direction for local schools in serving their young adults' learning needs.
Taught by Evergreen professor Jeff Frohner, literature classes at Tumwater and Capital
High Schools offer their students the chance to challenge college-level work and receive
:redit accordingly. The 13 participants at Capital High earn one secondary credit and one
TESC unit, while Tumwater's 11 class members are enrolled concurrently in a companion English
usage class generating two secondary credits and one Evergreen unit.
Participation in the "college-level" course entitles students to predictable reading and
writing assignments and classroom discussions in doses appropriate to first-year college
courses, as well as the chance to test their skills against materials and work beyond that
required for regular high school curricula.
...FIRST ALUM TO EARN DOCTORATE REPORTED...Sally Mendoza, a 1974 graduate of Evergreen, became the college's first graduate to receive her doctorate. Mendoza was granted her ph.d.
"with distinction" in psychobiology from Stanford University Feb. 3. The biologist, who will
join Evergreen's faculty next quarter to co-instruct a program in Sociobiology with Faculty
Member Larry Eickstaedt, is a 1969 graduate of Puyallup High School.

..."EQUUS" PRODUCTION SET FOR MARCH...A controversial drama featuring the relationship between
a teenage psychopath and his frustrated child psychiatrist opens the Experimental Theater at
Evergreen the first two weekends in March. Written by British playwright Peter Shaffer,
"Equus" will be performed by a 13-member student cast under the direction of Faculty Member
Ainara Wilder March 2-5 and 9-12, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Communications Building Theater
"It's the first time Evergreen audiences will enjoy a theatrical performance with proper
seating, adequate lights and a real stage," Wilder says. "It's also the first time "Equus",
which was first staged in the Pacific Northwest last year, has been presented in Thurston
County.
Starring as the play's two protagonists are Ted Roisum, a Portland student playing the
psychiatrist Martin Dysart, and Tim Streeter, a Panama Canal freshman portraying Alan Strang,
the teenage psychopath who has committed the horrifying act of blinding a stable full of
norses.
Wilder says the play "requires a sequence involving nudity" and suggests persons who are
uncomfortable with that
or with the intense nature of "Equus"
should not attend the
performances.

PLANS FOR PRESIDENT'S INVESTITURE ANNOUNCED
Daniel J. Evans will be formally invested with the powers of the presidency of Evergreen
Sunday, Feb. 26, in public ceremonies set to begin at 3 p.m. in the main Library lobby. Named
president of Evergreen in December of 1976 as he completed three terms as governor of the
State of Washington, Evans assumed the presidency June 15, filling the position held by Evergreen's founding president, Charles J. McCann, since 1967.
The Feb. 26 ceremonies will feature a series of brief "greetings and charges" from
representatives of the college's many constituencies, followed by a response to the charges
from President Evans. Slated to deliver the five minute "charges" to Evergreen's second
president are: U.S. Congressman Joel Pritchard; State Fisheries Director Gordon Sandison.
a member of the 1967 legislature which founded TESC; Mary Ellen Lewis, a 1974 graduate of
Evergreen who serves as a college admissions officer and will speak on behalf of her fellow
alums and staff members; Karen Kramer, an Evergreen freshman and graduate of Shelton High
School; Dr. Richard Jones, a member of the original planning faculty who joined TESC in 1970,
the year before the college opened; and Herbert D. Hadley of Longview, who has served on
Evergreen's board of trustees for the past ten years and is its current chairman.
Adding music to the Sunday ceremonies will be the Evergreen Jazz Ensemble directed by
Faculty Member Donald Chan and the newly-formed Madrigal Singers, led by Adjunct Faculty
Member Joan Winden.
A reception and banquet will follow the ceremonies, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Olympia's
Greenwood Inn. Visiting Australian educator Dr. John Raser will deliver the evening's major
address. Dr. Raser, dean of the School of Social Inquiry at Murdoch University in Western
Australia, has made an extensive study on innovative institutions of higher education throughout the world. His federally-funded liberal arts university opened in 1975 and, like Evergreen, emphasizes interdisciplinary studies. The evening banquet will also feature a visual
"History of Evergreen" prepared by the college's media services staff; a musical interlude by
faculty and community vocalists, and brief remarks by the formally invested new Evergreen
president.
The investiture ceremonies are free and open to the. public. Admission to the banquet is
$9 per person. Advance reservations are required for the banquet and tickets are available
through the Office of College Relations.
VA HEARING RESCHEDULED FOR YESTERDAY
By the time you read this, Evergreen should (finally) have had its day in court with the
Veterans Administration. The case, transferred to Western District Federal Court on Jan. 31,
was scheduled to be heard by Judge Walter T. McGovern in Seattle at 10 a.m. Feb. 9. If it
was — and if results were achieved -- a special news bulletin will be appearing on campus
this morning as a supplement to the Newsletter, which goes to press Wednesdays at noon.
Congressman Don Bonker called the Newsletter Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 7) to report that
he and President Dan Evans had been able to meet with Max Cleland, head of the Veterans
dministration, in Washington, D.C. According to Bonker "we finally penetrated the barriers
of the VA's office and have reached the person who can at least respond more favorably to our
situation." The "situation" is an order the VA issued last fall ruling that veteran students
who do not spend 12 hours per week in class are not full-time students and are therefore not
entitled to full VA benefits. The "response" came from a letter Bonker drafted and had cosigned by Washington State Senators Warren Magnuson and Henry Jackson requesting an extension

-2of the VA's date for cutting off benefits to Evergreen veterans, whom the VA felt didn't meet
the 12-hour rule. The letter also requested, Bonker said, a "nationwide study — to be concluded this academic year — on the VA r s new 12--hour requirement,"
Bonker reported Cleland's personal response to the letter was a promise that "students
Evergreen who are receiving VA benefits will not have them reduced or cut off by Feb. 1 deadline as previously ordered." Cleland also told Bonker he was "trying to work out a time
extension for better review of the situation at the college."
Bonker, who said Cleland was "harder to reach than either President Carter or Anwar
Sadat," happened to be "on the hill" Tuesday when President Evans was visiting the capitol.
Bonker added that he felt Cleland and the VA "will find that the more thay get into (this
12-hour rule situation) the more thay'11 find they don't have a case." If the case goes to
court and the VA wins, Bonker said, "there will probably be legislative remedial action
because the VA program is not intended to discriminate against institutions that are innovative and progressive."
By today we should know what happened in court. Watch for the news bulletin from College
Relations.
TUMWATER AND CAPITAL HIGH STUDENTS FIGHTING "SENIORITIS" WITH EVERGREEN
By:

Carolyn Byerly, Office of College Relations Editor

Cooperative efforts between Evergreen and two Olympia area high schools now make it
possible for advanced students to earn college credit while also working toward their
secondary diplomas. Nearly a year in the making, the joint college-public schools program
could, if successful, signal a continuing innovative direction for local schools in serving
their young adults' learning needs.
Taught by Evergreen professor Jeffrey Frohner, literature classes at Tumwater and
Capital High Schools offer their student participants the chance to challenge college-level
el
work and receive credit accordingly. The 13 participants at Capital High who meet from 7
to 9 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays earn one secondary credit and one Evergreen unit, while
Tumwater High's 11 class members meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon and are
enrolled concurrently in a companion English usage class generating two secondary credits
and one Evergreen unit.
MOSTLY SENIORS ENROLLED
Students — seniors and in some cases juniors in advanced standing — elected to take
"Yorkshire to Yonkers: A study in British and American Literature" at Capital High and
"Literature: A Psychological Perspective" at Tumwater High last fall during regular registration for Winter Quarter classes. Although they pay $79 Evergreen tuition — the cost of
taking one class for one quarter — the public schools absorb the costs of required reading
materials as they do for all high school courses.
Participation in a "college-level" course entitles students to predictable reading and
writing assignments and classroom discussions in doses appropriate to first-year college
courses, as well as the chance to test their skills against materials and work beyond that
required for regular high school curricula.
The experience is at least, in the words of Tumwater High Principal Gordon Prehm, "One
cure for senior-itis," that is, the dilemma facing serious students near graduation who are
ready for a tougher learning challenge. Expanding their views on reasons for offering high
schoolers a college-level course, Prehm and Capital High Principal Larry Norwood say the
Evergreen programs: provide challenges for talented and motivated learners, gives a critical
transitional link between high school and college, and enhance regular high school curricula
with more specialized courses.
And, Prehm adds, the college's willingness to "bring the class to us" also made the
programs attractive.
FACULTY OFFER VISITING LECTURES
Evergreen offered a similar program in Shelton High School last fall, which was also (
conducted by Frohner. An Evergreen graduate, he believes the college should "reach out to
interested high school students who are ready for college work." With the support of school
personnel and governing boards, he worked with Capital High English Department coordinator
Patricia Krueger; and Tumwater English chairman Mike Bryant and composition teacher David
Littleton to build courses so that, in Krueger"s words, "there would be some interface between

-3new and existing subjects."
Both programs, still in their first few weeks, offer students exposure to familiar
:lassics, such as Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms, Kafka^s Metamorphosis, or the works of poets
Whitman, Frost and Yeats, as well as writers like Kate Chopin and Grace Paley, whose works are
now coming into their own. To assure many points of view on literature and life, Frohner
invites other Evergreen faculty to serve as visiting lecturers. He also schedules special
events, such as one recent meeting between high school participants and adults of varied ages
enrolled in the Evergreen class "Dialogue Across Generations," taught by adjunct faculty
member Dr. Ronald Manheimer.
Come spring, students themselves will be able to turn a scrutinizing eye to what they
have gained from these initial efforts to extend college learning to high school people.
Capital High's Patricia Krueger insists that she will ask for "tough and honest answers" to
questions about whether or not students have felt their investment offered a genuine return.
Evergreen also, according to Frohner, will continue to evaluate the ongoing programs and
strive toward more meaningful ways to work with public schools.
ENERGY SYMPOSIUM PLANNED NEXT QUARTER
A three-day symposium on energy use in the Pacific Northwest will be offered by and at
Evergreen in conjunction with International Sun Day May 5, 6, and 7. Organized by students
studying energy systems, the "Energy Northwest Exposition" seeks to "encourage individual and
community awareness and improved human welfare through appropriate and thoughtful energy
use," explains student spokesman Kelly Wolcott.
The conference will, he says, attempt to "demonstrate the viability of varied energy
systems and to concretely illustrate options available to us in the Pacific Northwest."
From Friday to Sunday, the exposition will present several activities simultaneously,
but all focusing on "hands-on pragmatic learning," Kelly adds. "We want to promote thinking
and questioning about energy use and its production. We'll have continuous educational and
informative displays on various aspects of energy systems, usage, social effects and other
related topics," he promises. Workshops, seminars and films will be offered each day, along
with a keynote speaker and an evening cultural event. An orientation launches the exposition
Friday evening, and a Sunday evening square dance concludes the energetic gathering.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT SOUGHT
Planned as an educational outreach to southern Puget Sound residents, the conference will
involve local public schools presenting varied displays and projects; and local inventors,
gadgeteers and builders displaying their work and conducting workshops. Wolcott, an Evergreen
senior, says the conference will also offer "an opportunity to discover and share new tools,
processes, and ideas in wind, solar, biofuel and hydro technologies.
"We hope," he says, "that the exposition will give everyone a chance to reaffirm the
usefulness and importance of these age-old methods and to recognize new sources for their
development, both locally and nationally."
Faculty sponsors Stan Klyn, an engineer, designer and artist, and Dr. Byron Youtz, a
physicist, say the exposition is the result of months of work by their studetns in a full-time
study program called "Energy Systems: Conventional and Alternative." The thirty-five Evergreeners spent Fall Quarter researching the background of and constructing instruments for
testing energy effective designs. Winter Quarter students are concentrating their studies on
building projects and completing designs to display at the three-day exposition.
MAY LEAD TO ENERGY CENTER
At the same time, students are seeking individuals and groups involved in energy systems
planning and construction who would like to participate in the fair. They hope the conference
will "attract and inspire the inventiveness and creativity of our neighbors in Southwest
Washington," says Wolcott. "Out of this exposition we hope to create an energy resource
center at Evergreen which will offer the public continuing access to information on appropriate technologies," he adds.
Complete information on the energy exposition is available through the Energy Northwest
office, 866-6191, or the Evergreen Office of College Relations, 866-6128.

-4FIRST DOCTORATE AWARDED TO EVERGREEN GRAD
Sally Mendoza, a 1974 graduate of Evergreen, became last Friday the college's first
graduate to receive her doctorate. Mendoza was granted her ph.d. "with distinction" in
psychobiology from Stanford University Feb. 3. The biologist, who will join Evergreen's
faculty next quarter to co-instruct a program in Sociobiology with Faculty Member Larry
Eickstaedt, reported receipt of her degree excitedly to Eickstaedt from a celebration in
Palo Alto. Evergreen Faculty Member JteryJL Crowe was on hand to hear Mendoza's doctoral
seminar report — and to help her celebrate Friday evening.
Another Evergreener, Jon Cruz, sends word that he is working on his doctorate in
sociology at the University of California at Berkeley. Watch upcoming issues of the Newsletter for a full report on the activities of recent alums as compiled by the Office of
Career Planning and Placement and scheduled for release the end of this week.
MEETING ON SAGA CONTRACT SET
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh has called an open meeting Monday (Feb. 13)
at 10 a.m. CAB 110 to discuss renewal of Evergreen's food services contract with Saga Corporation. Clabaugh says "we've not signed a renewal contract yet, but we must act soon. Anyone
with comments about the proposed renewal should either attend the Monday meeting or deliver
to me oral or written remarks as soon as possible."
Negotiations with Saga, Clabaugh reports,have succeeded in securing an agreement
which will enable Food Services to become self supporting by mid-1980. Price increases, he
notes,"will result only to the extent required to offset inflation." Clabaugh believes the
agreement will bring "a markedly improved cafeteria and snack bar operation" and indicates
he has detected "no significant opposition to Saga's continued service for prepared foods."
Persons on campus have pointed out that The Deli, a retail food store on the main CAB
mall, could improve its product selections and its prices. "We believe we can bring Saga ,
to meet the more reasonable of their demands for changes at the Deli and we plan to negotia
to that end," he says. Clabaugh says he does not believe that separating the store's
operation from Food Services would serve customers as well as an "integrated but improved
Saga shop."
Meet with him Monday if you have an opinion to share.
"EQUUS" CAST SELECTED
A controversial drama featuring the relationship between a teenage psychopath and his
frustrated child psychiatrist opens the Experimental Theater at Evergreen the first two
weekends in March. Written by British playwright Peter Shaffer, "Equus" will be performed by
a 13-member student cast under the direction of Faculty Member Ainara Wilder March 2, 3, 4,
5, 9, 10, 11 and 12, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Communications Building Experimental Theater.
"It's the first time Evergreen audiences will enjoy a theatrical performance with proper
seating, adequate lights and a real stage," Wilder says. "It's also the first time "Equus",
which was first staged in the Pacific Northwest last year, has been presented to Thurston
County audiences."
Starring as the play's two protagonists are Ted Roisum, a Portland student playing the
psychiatrist Martin Dysart, and Tim Streeter, a Panama Canal freshman portraying Alan Strang,
the teenage psychopath who has committed the horrifying act of blinding a stable full of
horses.
Also cast in the contemporary drama, which uses a series of flashbacks to explore Strang's
mutilating acts, are David Raddatz of Lacey as Strang's father; and Linda Browne of Tacoma
as his mother. The cast also includes Martha Woodhull, Morristown, New Jersey; Elizabeth
Price, Olympia; Charles Williamson, Gaylord, Minnesota; Ernie Ellison, Elma; Jessica Huntti-^,
Minneapolis, Minnesota; Kevin Porter, New Orleans; John Koch, Seattle; Beriah Brown, Olympi
and Peter Tooke, Dallas, Texas.
Connie Monaghaman of Vancouver, Washington is stage manager for the eight productions;
Kevin Porter and Dennis Kochta are handling set design, and Louise Hitching is choreographer
for the Winter Quarter drama.

—5—
Wilder says the play "requires a sequence involving nudity," and suggests persons who
are uncomfortable with that — or with the intense nature of "Equus" — should not attend
the performances.

Twentieth Century Music" academic program under the direction of Faculty Musician Dr. Greg
Steinke, Subotnick's lecture/workshop will be held from 2-5 p.m. in room 110, Communications
Building, and will combine a short presentation in the use of control tracks in the creation
of his piece "Four Butterflies," discussion with the audience on electronic music composition, and critical listening of student electronic compositions.
During an evening concert, scheduled at 8 o'clock, in the Recital Hall, Subotnick will
deliver a longer presentation describing his creation of "Four Butterflies," and culminate
in a performance of the -celebrated piece.
Presently a faculty member at California School of the Arts in Valencia, Subotnick has
also served on Oakland's Mills College faculty, was musical director of the Repertory
Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City, and worked in the Intermedia Program at the
School of the Arts, New York University. Subotnick was the first composer to be commissioned
for electronic composition in the record industry, commissioned when he created "Silver
Apples of the Moon." "Before the Butterfly," a Bicentennial composition was performed by
Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles and Boston symphony orchestras.
Admission to events led by Subotnick is $1.50 for the workshop and $3.50 for his evening
concert, or $4.50 for a workshop/concert package. Tickets may be purchased in advance by
mailing in a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Dr. Greg Steinke, Communications 301.

before 5 p.m. today for further information.

NELSON SEEKS USED BOOKS
Faculty Member Mary Nelson is at it again. This time she's thanking
Evergreeners for sending her postcards which she is forwarding to pleased
youngsters on the Colville Indian Reservation — and requesting used paperbacks, text books and "any kind of books" you have on hand to share with
students on the Chehalis Reservation. Nelson says she's also interested
in worthwhile periodicals, like Arizona Highways, National Geographic, etc.
If you've some good reading materials around you think youngsters would
profit from reading, pass them on to Mary in room 2024 of LAB I.
NEWS BRIEFS
Theresa Gallant of the Puget Sound Blood Program offers "a tremendous thank you" to
all Evergreeners who donated 118 units of blood last Thursday which, she says, will serve
"approximately 354 patients". She says the blood donated is separated at the center into
component parts so that each donated unit can "help as many as three Puget Sound area
patients." The success of her program depends on regular contributions from the community
and Gallant promises her organization will be back on campus May 9 for what she hopes will
be another successful visit.
Faculty Member Larry Eickstaedt says all persons interested in enrolling in the Spring
Quarter program "The Biological Bases of Human Social Behavior" should pick up a question- i
naire from his office (LAB II, room 3251) as soon as possible.
Cooperative Education staffers announced they have arranged internship opportunities
for Evergreen students in Washington, D.C. The internships are available Spring Quarter in
Congressional offices, executive agencies, public interest organizations and judicial
agencies, as well as in many other areas of interest. Students interested in applying for
the internships are urged to contact Co-Op Ed as soon as they can, but before Feb. 15.

MAJORITY OF STUDENTS FROM SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON...More than 50 percent of the 2,570 students
enrolled at Evergreen Winter Quarter hail from three Western Washington counties: Thurston,
King and Pierce. The enrollment tally, the highest ever recorded during Winter Quarter at
Evergreen, also shows that the largest number of students are from Olympia, Seattle, Tacoma,
Lacey and Vancouver.
Created in part to serve educational needs of Southwest Washington, Evergreen annually
draws its largest percentage of students from the 13-county area, despite the fact that the
rate at which those counties directly enroll high school seniors into Washington's four-year
public institutions is the lowest in the state.
According to a report issued by the Council for Post Secondary Education (CPE) in
December, the seven counties with the lowest rate of college enrollment are all among the 13
which comprise Evergreen's service area. The CPE study also notes that the highest participation rate of those 13 counties (Thurston with 15.3 percent) is less than the 39-county
average (of 16.1 percent). The percent participation from all 13 western and southwestern
counties is less than 11 percent, compared to the 18.3 percent participation figure for the
remainder of the state.
Evergreen's Winter Quarter 1978 county-by-county tally shows 888 students from Thurston
.mty, followed by 352 from King and 215 from Pierce. Other Southwest Washington counties
contributed a total of 281 students, including 73 from Clark; 55 from Mason; 40 from Lewis;
31 from Grays Harbor; 30, Kitsap; 20, Cowlitz; 14, Jefferson; 11, Clallam, and 7 from Pacific.
...VITAMIN E FOCUS OF "TUESDAY AT EIGHT"... Only lately has new light been shed on the mysterious
Vitamin E, the nutrient said to cure everything from sterility to old age. Dr. Jeffrey Bland,
a chemist and nationally recognized expert on the effects of Vitamin E, will give a free
public lecture on this subject Tuesday (Feb. 7), beginning at 8 p.m. in the Communications
Building Recital Hall.
Dr. Bland is presently serving a one-year visiting professorship at Evergreen, on leave
from the University of Puget Sound. A specialist in nutrition, he has served as principal
investigator of a national research team studying the effects of Vitamin E on the human body
and has published nearly a dozen scientific papers on Vitamin E and cell aging. His free
lecture is part of the "Tuesdays at Eight" concert-lecture series sponsored by the Washington
State Arts Commission, the Evergreen Foundation, and the Evergreen College Community Organization.
...FAMILY CIRCUS TO STAGE VAUDEVILLE PRODUCTION...The Family Circus Theater comes to campus
Feb. 9 to stage a vaudeville production "specifically for older people." The production
begins at 8 p.m. in the main library lobby by the Portland-based theater collective which
writes, directs, designs and performs original comedy productions on current social issues.
The Evergreen performance will focus on low cost housing and the plight of senior citizens.
The fast-paced comedy, called "Millie and Max," tells the tale of two retired vaudevillians
who, faced with eviction from their residence hotel, organize an effort to save their friends
^rough an evening performance of tap dance, songs, slapstick, juggling and "a. generous dose
music."
Admission to the 60-minute performance, sponsored by the Evergreen Political Information
Center, is $2 general or $1 for high school students and senior citizens.

"at critical time"
CPE LAUNCHES "COMPREHENSIVE" STUDY OF EVERGREEN
By:

Judy Annis, College Relations Director

The Council for Post Secondary Education has begun conducting its comprehensive study on
Evergreen. Ordered to do so by the last session of the State Legislature, CPE will conduct a
thorough assessment of Evergreen's educational programs and costs and develop recommendations
for presentation to the 1979 special session of the legislature. The complete report, due
next October, will be preceded by a "detailed progress report" delivered in June.
In a December report on their efforts, CPE staffers noted that Evergreen "is at a critical point in its history." In it's first ten years, they point out, Evergreen's existence
has been debated "or placed in some jeopardy" at every regular legislative session. It's
full-time enrollment has declined for the past three years, and its present full-time equivalent enrollment is only slightly higher than it was in. 1973.
CPE notes that "the importance of this study...cannot be stated too strongly," The bill
specifically requires that the study "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 FTE students to the
average cost per FTE student at the other three state (universities) colleges."
CPE STRIVES FOR "FULL PICTURE"
Given "high priority" by CPE, the study recognizes the need to consider a number of
topics beyond the legislative charge in order to present a full picture. For example, CPE
notes that "to fully understand the growth patterns at Evergreen, they should be considered
in comparison with the experiences of other new institutions which were created and began
operations about the same time. There are several throughout the U.S.," CPE notes, and "part
of the study purpose will be to identify those institutions and utilize them in the comparative framework for the review of Evergreen."
Conducted jointly by William Chance of CPE's Planning and Research section and Denis
Curry of its Finance and Information Systems division, the study is being undertaken in close
cooperation with Evergreen staff. Together CPE and TESC will review the comparative effectiveness of Evergreen's educational modes, analyze its historical participation rates,
especially of these counties considered within Evergreen's primary service area (see story on
page 2), and study Evergreen's educational costs "in an effort to identify their relationship
to the educational program and those savings, if any, that would be gained were Evergreen to
change its educational mode to one similar to that conventionally employed by other institutions. "
In addition, CPE will compare support program costs among the state colleges "to determine the potential for equalization." Currently, CPE notes, Evergreen's direct instructional
costs compare favorably to such costs at the other four-year institutions and "there appears
to be no direct relationship between the high total costs and the instructional program."
DIRECT INSTRUCTIONAL COSTS LOWER
At Evergreen, average faculty salaries and benefits per FTE student are "somewhat below
the average figures for the other four-year institutions." Even when these costs are added
to other expenses related to instruction, Evergreen "continues to fall below the average of the
other four-year institutions."
CPE points out that Evergreen's total costs per FTE student are higher than the other
institutions due to the funding levels in its support programs. Total support costs related
to instruction for 1974-75 approximated a per student cost for "overhead" of $1,975, compared
to $1,065 for the three older state colleges. "These figures," CPE says, "suggest support

-2costs for Evergreen are approximately 85 percent above the average for the three regional
universities."
CPE further notes that plant operations and maintenance costs at Evergreen "are almost
entirely influenced by the fact that the institution has a physical plant sized to accommodate
an enrollment approximately double the present figure." It also notes that some of Evergreen's
cost variance "is a function of scale," and insists that "the subject of enrollment levels
and service patterns is critical to an understanding of Evergreen."
The final report, once viewed as a serious threat to the college by many, is seen by
President Dan Evans as an opportunity to fully answer a number of questions which have plagued
Evergreen since it's existence. He's optimistic the results will provide clear evidence that
Evergreen is achieving its educational goals in an effective and responsible manner that will,
when the college reaches its full enrolmment of 4,000, be as cost effective — if not more
so — than the other four-year institutions.
MAJORITY OF STUDENTS FROM SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON
More than 50 percent of the 2,570 students enrolled at Evergreen Winter Quarter hail from
three Western Washington counties: Thurston, King and Pierce. The enrollment tally, the
highest ever recorded during Winter Quarter at Evergreen, also shows that the largest number
of students are from Olympia, Seattle, Tacoma, Lacey and Vancouver.
Created in part to serve educational needs of Southwest Washington, Evergreen annually
draws its largest percentage of students from the 13-county area, despite the fact that the
rate at which those counties directly enroll high school seniors into Washington's four-year
public institutions is the lowest in the state.
According to a report issued by the Council for Post Secondary Education (CPE) in
December, the seven counties with the lowest rate of college enrollment are all among the 13
which comprise Evergreen's Service area. The CPE study also notes that the highest participation rate of those 13 counties (Thurston with 15.3 percent) is less than the 39-county (
average (of 16.1 percent). The percent participation from all 13 western and southwestern
counties is less than 11 percent, compared to the 18.3 percent participation figure for the
remainder of the state.
Evergreen's Winter Quarter 1978 county-by-county tally shows 888 students from Thurston
County, followed by 352 from King and 215 from Pierce. Other Southwest Washington counties
contributed a total of 281 students, including 73 from Clark; 55 from Mason; 40 from Lewis;
31 from Grays Harbor; 30, Kitsap; 20, Cowlitz; 14, Jefferson; 11, Clallam, and seven from
Pacific.
Cities with the highest number of students attending Evergreen include Olympia with 733;
Seattle, 207; Tacoma, 167; Lacey, 75; Vancouver, 62; Bellevue, 49; Shelton, 48; and Tumwater,
39.
Out-of-state students, who Winter Quarter accounted for approximately 18 percent of the
total Evergreen enrollment, include 113 from California; 59 from Oregon; 53 from Illinois;
49 from New York, and 40 from Ohio. The percentage of out-of-staters enrolled at Evergreen
is the highest of all the state's public institutions — a point which college President Dan
Evans says "is a positive indication of our excellent national reputation."
VA SUIT MOVES TO SEATTLE
An already once postponed hearing in federal court between the Veterans Administration
and Evergreen has been postponed once again — this time because Federal Judge Marshall Neill
transferred the case from his Spokane Court to Western District Court in Seattle.
At a brief session in Spokane Tuesday, all parties to the suit, including federal
attorneys from Washington, D.C., were surprised by the Neill action, which left unsettled all
major issues in the dispute over award of full VA benefits to Evergreen and Spokane Commun/
College students who appear not to fit the VA's new "12-hour rule."
Issued last fall, that rule defines full-time students as those who spend 12 hours in
class a week. If students spend less time than that in class, the VA has ruled they are not
eligible for full benefits. Evergreen filed suit in October challenging the VA's definition
of full-time, insisting that the new rule amounts to a VA attempt to dictate educational

-3policy for an already fully accredited institution. Last month, the college requested an
injunction preventing the VA from withholding benefits. That injunction was not acted upon
pending a hearing scheduled Jan. 27, then postponed until Jan. 31.
State Assistant Attorney General Richard Montecucco, arguing on Evergreen's behalf, says
he will urge the Seattle courts to schedule a hearing on the VA issue as soon as possible.
Although scheduling in the Western District Court is known to be heavily backlogged, he's
asked for a hearing before Feb. 15.
In the Eastern District Court, the VA was under oral directives not to do anything that
"would adversely affect the status of Evergreen veterans". In Tuesday's session, VA represent
atives indicated they would take no future action until Registrar Walker Allen completes a
survey of Evergreen veterans' courses. Other action taken Tuesday postponed the VA's cutoff
date for determining award of full-time benefits from Feb. 1 to Feb. 15. Presumably that
date could be extended again if the hearing is not conducted in the Seattle courts before the
15th.
EVANS TO APPEAR ON "TODAY"

President Dan Evans is tentatively scheduled to be interviewed on the Today show
February 7, beginning at 7, which will be carried locally on KING television, channel 5.
Evans will be in New York attending a meeting of the American Association of Colleges where
he will participate in a panel discussion with representatives from Hampshire College, Massachusetts; Ramapo College, New Jersey; the University of California at Santa Cruz, and the
University of Wisconsin at Green Bay. He's scheduled to share the "Today" show spotlight with
Adele Simmons, president of Hampshire and George Potter, president of Ramapo.
STRIKE POLICY REVIEW DTF CALLED

President Dan Evans has asked a 16-member disappearing task force to begin meeting at
noon today in Library 3121 to conduct a review of the college's proposed Collective Bargaining
and Strike Policy. The review, Evans hopes, will be completed by Feb. 15.
The original Strike Policy was developed by an advisory group last summer to provide
information to the Board of Trustees who had approved a tentative policy last June. Expressing a strong dislike for the June version, trustees requested a report which would suggest an
improved policy. The advisory group, composed of nine administrators and one faculty member,
attempted to solicit reactions from throughout the campus community but met with little
success. Evans called the new d.t.f. he says, to "insure that sufficient review by all segments of the campus community is carried out."
The d.t.f. expects to elect a chairperson today from among its members: Faculty Peta
Henderson, Stephanie Coontz, Carolyn Dobbs and Oscar Soule; classified staff Melanie Crawford,
Earlene Zaugg, Mary Dillaway and Jerry Marcy; administrators John Aikin, Rita Cooper, Pat
Sparks-Cauchy, and Frank Motley; and students Michael Price, Heidi Wirt, Dave Gallagher and
Irene Christy.
upcoming events
VITAMIN E FOCUS OF "TUESDAY AT EIGHT"

Only lately has new light been shed on the mysterious Vitamin E, the nutrient said to
cure everything from sterility to old age. Dr. Jeffrey Bland, a chemist and nationally
recognized expert on the effects of Vitamin E, will give a free public lecture on this subject
and other "Frontiers of Science" Tuesday at 8 p.m., in the Communications Building Recital
Hall.
Dr. Bland is presently serving a one-year visiting professorship at Evergreen, on leave
from the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma. A specialist in nutrition, he teachers a program
on "Contemporary Human Nutrition" at Evergreen and sponsors student research to determine the
value of sprouts, trace minerals, and other elements to diet.
Turning his attention to nutrition more than five years ago after what he deems "family
tragedies related to diet," Dr. Bland has served as principal investigator of a national

-4research team studying the effects of Vitamin E on the human body and has published nearly a
dozen scientific papers on Vitamin E and cell aging. He holds degrees from the University of
California-Irvine, University of Oregon Medical School, and the University of Oregon.
His free lecture is part of the "Tuesdays at Eight" concert-lecture series sponsored b^
the Washington Arts Commission, the Evergreen Foundation and the Evergreen College Community
Organization.
FAMILY CIRCUS STAGES VAUDEVILLE PRODUCTION THURSDAY
The Family Circus Theater comes to campus Thursday to stage a vaudeville production
"specifically for older people." The production begins at 8 p.m. in the main library lobby
by the Portland-based theater collective which writes, directs, designs and performs original
comedy productions on current social issues.
The Evergreen performance will focus on low cost housing and the plight of senior citizens because, according to Family Circus, "it has become more and more clear that destruction
of cheap, inner-city housing is only a part of an over-all urban philosophy which values
business interests over people's needs." The fast-paced comedy, called "Millie and Max",
tells the tale of two retired vaudevillians who, faced with eviction from their residence
hotel, organize an effort to save their friends through an evening performance of tap dance,
songs, slapstick, juggling "and a generous dose of music."
Admission to the 60-minute performance, sponsored by the Evergreen Political Information
Center, is $2 general or $1 for high school students and senior citizens.
COMPOSER GRIGSBY HERE FOR CONCERT, LECTURE
A portion of work by American composer Beverly Grigsby will be performed in her presence
by The Evergreen Ensembles Thursday, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building. Grigsby, associate professor of composition and music theory at California
State University at Northridge, will be on campus Feb. 6-9 to offer a public lecture and '
conduct seminars in composition and analysis for Evergreen music students.
Monday, the California composer, who also directs the computer music laboratory at
Northridge, will discuss the works of composer Stravinsky in a free talk which begins at
10 a.m. in room 320 of the Communications Building. Thursday evening Grigsby will attend the
concert at which her works will be performed along with selections by modern composers John
Cage and Vincent Persichetti and by Evergreen student composers Peter Randlett, Steve Layton,
Eli Whiting and Michael Huntsberger.
Selections from the Feb. 9 concert — and from other musical performances presented by
the Evergreen Ensembles this year — will be repeated this spring when students and their
faculty director, Dr. Greg Steinke, go on tour to Moscow, Idaho, Ellensburg and Leavenworth,
offering concerts of "Music from Evergreen" to the public. All of their tour concerts,
according to Dr. Steinke, "will present a broad and comprehensive picture of music from this
year's academic study, "Explorations in Twentieth Century Music: A Composer's View."
Admission to the Feb. 9 concert is $1; students and senior citizens will be admitted for
50c.
DANCE TROUPE SLATES SATURDAY PERFORMANCE
The ReUnion, a five-member dance troupe specializing in contact improvisation, will
present a public performance and workshop series Feb. 11 and 12 at Evergreen. Sponsored by
TESC Library Gallery, ReUnion will perform next Saturday at 8 p.m. in room 307 of the College
Recreation Center. Admission is $2.50 at the door.

will present a workshop series Feb. 11 from noon to 3 p.m. in the Evergreen Library and
Feb. 12 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Recreation Center. Cost for both weekend workshops and
the evening performance is $25.

Lepkoff, and Nancy Stark Smith pursue their individual careers as dance performers and
teachers in California, Vermont and New York. Once annually, the troupe gathers to tour and
present live performances and workshops, principally on the West Coast. From their yearly

-5gathering comes their name, ReUnion.
Formed in New York in 1972, ReUnion first pioneered the technique of contact improvisation, a free-form spontaneous style that depends on the imagination, mood and skills of
dancers. In the words of ReUnion dancer Paxton, contact improvisation is "the pleasure of
dancing with someone in an unplanned way, where you're free to invent."

SUGARHOL1CS BEGIN SIX-WEEK TRIAL
Overcoming sugar addiction in one's diet may be the main goal of a new six-week course
sponsored by Evergreen, but instructor Ginny Ring predicts that successful participants will
also begin to alter their life styles. Addressing 16 determined adults at the first meeting
Wednesday morning, Ring, a staff member at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, observed
that "many of us are unconscious sugarholics because of everyday foods we eat — many of
which contain large amounts of refined sugars."
The first step toward a holistic modification in diet will be the denial of foods with
both refined and high concentrates of natural sugars, and the substitution of more nutritional
foodstuffs, Ring says. Gone for now, and perhaps forever, are soft drinks, pastries, ice
cream, alchohol, chocolate, potato chips and many other ail-American stand-bys. Participai(
Evergreeners and other Olympia area residents — will record their thoughts and feelings about
the denial of sugar as they proceed on their individual paths to more healthful living.
Ring, a former sugar addict herself with "self-destruction to the death" tendencies,
incorporates many of her own experiences and perceptions and current information about nutrition in this class. Cost of registration is $20. Class meets each Wednesday at 10 a.m. in
Library 1504.
