PROVOST SEARCH RENEWED; UNION URGES GREATER FACULTY REPRESENTATION
The Provost II Search Committee, charged by President Dan Evans with beginning anew
the selection process for a permanent provost has set its next meeting this afternoon at
4 p.m. in Room 3121 of the Library. The committee, which hopes to recruit, select and hire
the chief academic officer before Spring Quarter, will also meet November 1 from 2 to 3 p.m.
in the same room.
Appointed to serve on the committee thus far are Faculty Members Carolyn Dobbs, George
Dimitroff, Stan Klyn, Peter Elbow, Ginny Ingersoll; Staff members John Aikin, Jovana Brown,
Dean Clabaugh and Rita Cooper; Academic Deans Jeanne Hahn and Will Humphreys, and students
Pat Williams and Donna Hayes.
Makeup of the committee drew interest from the Executive Board of the Evergreen Federation of Teachers which last week urged the faculty, deans and provost to make sure faculty

-2members "comprise a minimum of 50 percent of the membership." The reason, wrote the Union
Executive Board, was because "selection of the provost is a matter which is of special
importance to the faculty." Union officers felt the previous provost selection committee
was "far too heavily representative of the administrative side."
Union leaders also urged that the "committee" be transformed into a "normal" disappearing task force because the provost position "is of such consequence to the whole community that the regular procedures for making DTP membership and meeting times known, propagating minutes, etc. should be followed fully and carefully."
Attracting the most attention from Union Leaders, however, was the issue of where the
new provost should come from — inside or outside the college. "Very serious consequences
...would follow from the selection of a Chief Academic Officer from outside the college,"
wrote officials of the union, who warned that "without the protection that a qualified internal candidate could provide, the present structure and retention procedures would not
be acceptable to us as a professional organization..."
The faculty, union leaders explained, agreed to do without tenure because it believed
it "would be in important respects in control of its own affairs." Among provisions
guaranteeing faculty that control was the concept of rotating deans who would serve short
terms then return to the faculty. This policy was changed when terms of senior deans were
lengthened and when Barbara Smith, the newest senior dean was hired "from outside." Union
leaders also noted that the president is "from outside," adding that "while the particular
personnel decisions have been wise ones, the further effect of bringing in an outside person as provost would be to weight the academic administration heavily with persons who have
not had experience teaching in the Evergreen modes" — something union leaders see as
"quite undesirable."
In their formal statement of October 18, union leaders also urged that the roster of
internal nominees for the provost's job be made public during the nominating period so
Evergreeners will be aware of who has been nominated and who has accepted those nominations,
thus perhaps ensuring a wider internal applicant pool.

S & A WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS

The Services and Activities Fees Review Board this week met to offer an orientation
session for its six new student members and one new staff member, according to S & A coordinator Bill Hucks. The session was the second meeting for the group which this year will
meet weekly at noon on Wednesdays in Room 104 of the College Activities Building.
New appointees to the S & A Board are Dave Canning, Jo Charnas, Ernie Ellison, Dick
Jones, Pila Laronal and Liz Ulsh, students; and Larry Savage, office machine mechanic,
staff representative. Grant Logg and Tim O'Malley have agreed to serve as student alternates. A faculty member is yet to be named.
TUMWATER RUNNER BEATS 10-MILE RUN RECORD
Tumwater native Jim Brown broke the record for completing Evergreen's 10-mile road run
October 14, but he didn't take home a blue ribbon. Brown, a 25-year-old graduate of Tumwater High School who resides in Bellevue, clocked in at 58 minutes 30 seconds after running
what Recreation Director Pete Steilberg calls "one of the toughest courses we've devised."
Brown's time beat out the 18-month-old record of 60 minutes, 42 seconds set in 1977 by
Mike Lotter.
It was a sweet victory for Brown, who last year sought to break the record, only to
come in five seconds over the old record. The accomplishment won Brown the only competitor's award that day — a red ribbon for those who average between five minutes, thirty
seconds and six minutes per mile. "He didn't take home a blue ribbon," explains Steilberg,
"because that's reserved for those who average faster than five minutes, 30 seconds per
mile."
Other male winners in the race were Jim Thomas, clocking in at 63 minutes, 50 seconds;

-3and Bob Deal of Evergreen's Running Club, with a time of 65 minutes, 11 seconds. Both
Brown and Thomas are not affiliated with an organized running club.
v
Women winners in the race include Louise Taylor with a time of 87 minutes, 33 seconds
Kendra Wagner, 91 minutes, 43 seconds, and Mary Gentry, 97 minutes, 47 seconds. Gentry is
affiliated with Olympia Rain Runners; Taylor and Wagner are unaffiliated.
Steilberg says the run attracted 28 competitors, all but four of whom made it down
through the Delphi Valley and up the arduous Mud Bay Hill in good shape.
TESC's next run, the annual Turkey Trot, is a 2.3-mile contest November 18. As the
name implies, the fastest trotters that day will take home their Thanksgiving supper.

FATHER OF BLUEGRASS MUSIC TO APPEAR NOVEMBER 5
Bill Monroe, recognized worldwide as the originator of Bluegrass music and the only
Bluegrass musician to be honored in Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame, will appear in
concert with his "Bluegrass Boys" Sunday, November 5 in the main lobby of the Evergreen
Library. The concert, which begins at 7 p.m., is sponsored by students and faculty in
Evergreen's Country Music study program.
A definitive and expert mandolin player, Monroe, now 67, forged the Bluegrass sound
in the 1930's by blending the Appalachian string band music of his youth with other styles,
most notably the country blues of Southern Black people.
His Bluegrass Boys, which at one time included Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt, over the
years has become the "graduate school of Bluegrass musicians" and has included some of the
most notable stars in this style of music. Among the graduates: Bluegrass greats Vassar
Clements, Chubby Wise, Jimmy Martin and the Osborne Brothers. Current members of the Bluegrass Boys, who will offer a workshop at Evergreen after their concert, include Kenny
Baker, dean of country fiddlers, with Butch Robbins on banjo, Wayne Lewis on guitar and
lead vocal, and Randy Davis on bass.
The four will stage an afternoon workshop Monday, November 6, beginning at 1 p.m. in
Room 110 of the Communications Building at Evergreen. Registration is $10 and may be
completed by sending the fee and a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Bluegrass Boys Workshop, TESC, Communications 301, Olympia, WA 98505. Combination tickets for both the concert and the workshop are available by mail only for $12.50. Enrollment is limited and
will be reserved on a first-come^ first-served basis.
Advance tickets to the Suriday night concert are $5 general admission or $4 for senior
citizens and persons under 18. Those tickets are on sale now at Yenney's, Rainy Day Record

Included in the Friday evening program will be pieces by Mozart, Bach, Schubert, Chopin,
Debussy, Shostakovich, and Liszt.
A graduate of both the Cleveland Institute of Music and Indiana University, Taslitt's
musical career got an early start when, at age ten, he was recognized as outstanding talent
by piano artist Arthur Loesser, who instructed him for 9 years. The young performer has
since staged concerts throughout the United States as well as in Europe, Israel and Japan.
Called a "colorful pianist who combines facility and exuberance in masterful and scholarly

-4performance," Taslitt currently serves as chairman of Piano Studies at the University of
Puget Sound in Tacoma.
A reception hosted by members of the Olympia Chapter of the Washington State Music
Teachers will follow the concert. Tickets to the performance are $2 general admission or
$1 for students, and will go on sale at the box office of Evergreen's Communications Building at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are also available at Yenney's.
EVANS SHARES VIEWS ON POPULATION PROJECTIONS

A discussion of this state's population explosion and the unexpected impacts that may
result will be explored by Evergreen President Dan Evans Wednesday, November 1, when he participates in a noon time series called "A Piece of My Mind" at the First United Methodist
Church in downtown Olympia.
Evans, who's kept a close watch on the state's demographic patterns for the past 20
years, says that while Washington's population has continued to grow at a dynamic rate, the
kinds of growth are somewhat different than once projected. The differences, he believes,
may "have a dramatic impact on the society we'll share in the 1980's."
Evans' noon talk is the fifth in the "Piece of My Mind Series" offered free to the public by Evergreen Campus Ministeries, the Olympia Ministerial Association and Associated
Ministeries of Thurston County. The public is encouraged to bring brown bag lunches and
enjoy the 40-minute talk, followed by an open discussion.
TRUSTEES FORMALLY APPROVE SOCIAL CONTRACT, REVISE ORGANIZATIONAL TABLE

In an all-day session last week, Evergreen's Board of Trustees gave final approval to
the revised Social Contract, adopted proposed changes to the college's organization table,
and ratified a bid award for remodeling of facilities at Evergreen's "south campus" in
Vancouver.
The Social Contract, revised by a disappearing task force last year after months of
work, was approved after a brief hearing that drew no testimony. The revision was the
first done on the document since 1973 and offered not only a much shorter version defining
"the individual responsibility of members of the college community" but a more precise explanation of those responsibilities. Copies of the newly adopted Social Contract will be
available at the Information Center sometime next week.
President Dan Evans asked for and received board approval to modify the college's
organizational table, reassigning supervisory responsibility for the Development Office
and for the newly created Office of Institutional Research. Development, which formerly
reported to Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh, now reports to Les Eldridge,
Evans's assistant whose primary responsibilities have been to aid the president and to serve
as the college's chief legislative officer. Eldridge was also assigned to supervise the
institutional research office. He has since launched searches to fill directorships of
both offices. (Development is currently headed on an acting basis by Paul Roberts; faculty
sociologist Dr. Lowell "Duke" Kuehn is directing research efforts on a part-time basis
Fall Quarter.)
Trustees also offered formal approval to a construction contract for remodeling officers'
barracks at Fort Vancouver, headquarters of the recently moved Vancouver Outreach program.
A bid of $33,858 was approved and accepted from RSV Construction Incorporated of Vancouver.
Trustees meet again Monday, November 13, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112.
FACULTY DISPLAY ARTWORKS
A varied exhibit, featuring works by 13 current and former faculty members at Evergreen,
fills the newly reopened Fourth Floor Gallery in the Library. The exhibit, which remains on
display through November 2, features artworks ranging from drawings to photographs, calligraphy to woodwork, weavings to metal sculpture.
Open between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. weekdays only, the Fourth Floor Gallery show is free
and open to the public.

...STUDENTS PUBLISH "THOROUGH" NUCLEAR STUDY...A massive in-depth study of nuclear energy in
the Pacific Northwest has been concluded and published in full by Evergreen students.
Nuclear Power in the Pacific Northwest: Essays on Prominent Issues examines nuclear energy
from its origins in this region through present controversies, pending legislative and other
actions affecting it. The effort
the most thorough of its kind yet to surface
is the
outcome of six months' intensive research by Evergreen faculty economist Dr. Charles Nisbet
and a six-member advanced student research team.
Funded by a Metropolitan Life Insurance grant, the study includes never-before-published
interviews with Washington State Congressman Mike McCormick and other public officials on
nuclear issues, as well as analyses of electrical load forecasts, public participation in
nuclear plant licensing, decision-making on energy policy, and the economics of coal and
nuclear power.
Researchers Thorn Lufkin (Seattle), Carol Benish (Olympia), Glenn Huntley (Spanaway),
Stephen Weekley (McLean, Virginia), Henry Date (Indianapolis, Indiana), and Curtis Milton
(Prosser) devoted full-time to the study of Northwest nuclear issues between January and
July for regular academic credit. Under the faculty sponsorship of Dr. Nisbet, the team worked
for two quarters, beginning with a complete reading of a four-volume draft environmental impact statement, The Role of the Bonneville Power Administration in the Pacific Northwest Power
Supply System, released by the BPA in July 1977, and progressing finally to final preparaion of the study's published papers this month. Copies of the Evergreen study are available
.m limited supply for $8.50 from Dr. Nisbet at Evergreen.
...EVANS REPORTS ON FALL ENROLLMENT...President Dan Evans reports Evergreen has 2,317
students enrolled for Fall Quarter classes. The figure includes 1,881 full-time students and
436 part-timers. Examined another way, the new fall count shows 1,781 students registered who
are Washingtonians and 536 who are from out of state. The count, Evans told trustees at a
public meeting Thursday, is below last year's tally. But, he added, "the count is up in some
areas. This year we have more students who stayed at Evergreen between Spring and Fall Quarters (retention shows a one-percent increase) and we have a higher number of students who've
enrolled from out of state."
...SPEAKERS BUREAU OFFERS 69 LECTURERS...Public School teachers, area ministers, and program
chairmen for community groups of all sizes and interests this week received a resource book
from Evergreen to help them plan activities for the 1978-79 school year. Some 69 Evergreen
faculty and staff have volunteered their services to present talks, many of them accompanied
by slides, on a wide variety of topics ranging from solid academic discussions such as "New
Research on Solar Energy Conversion" or "How Children Learn" to more playful talks on areas
of personal interest, examining "Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest," "Sailing for Fun," or
"Total Exercise."
Speakers, their topics and the times they're available are all listed in the newly
published 1978-79 issue of Evergreen's Speakers Bureau, a resource which came off the presses
this week, and went right into area mailboxes. Purpose of the Speakers Bureau, says College
Relations Director Judy Annis, is "to share the college's expertise with our neighbors."
Now in its sixth year of publication, the Speakers Bureau is an annual service offered to
hose living in the college's service area. Copies may be obtained by calling the Office of
College Relations, 866-6128 weekdays during regular working hours.

"conflicting currents"
EVANS SAYS ENROLLMENT NEWS "NOT ALL BAD"

By: Judy Annis, Director of Information Services
"The enrollment is down," President Dan Evans told members of the Enrollment Design
Task Force Wednesday morning. But, he quickly asserted, "The news isn't all bad — there
are conflicting currents in the new fall count."
The figures show a total head count of 2,317 students enrolled by the tenth class
day, some 227 down from last fall at this time. The full-time equivalent count is 2,181.
But, Evans says, "That's not the total picture."
"We're up in some areas and down in some others," he said. "An analysis offers us
some clues of why that is." The president pointed out that the college's percentage of
out-of-state students rose by ten percent and retention of students from Spring to Fall
Quarter this year is higher than it was a year ago. "But we're substantially down
in the number of new students who actually enrolled and in the number of veteran students,"
he pointed out.
BAD NEWS AT "CRUCIAL TIME"
What Evans believes caused those differences are three bad splashes of new coverage
"at a crucial time, when new students in Washington state were making up their minds about
selecting a college." First, came the blast from the Veterans Administration last February,
charging that our students didn't have enough contact hours with faculty. That coverage
was accompanied by letters the V.A. is still sending to every new veteran interested in
Evergreen. Those letters indicate that, while veterans will receive financial assistance
to attend Evergreen, they may have to pay it all back if Evergreen loses the court action
it has filed against the V.A. "Those letters," said Evans, "are obviously a strong deterrent to veterans." Twenty percent fewer veterans are enrolled this year.
The second "bad news" burst upon the college this summer when an unhappy employee of
the State Fisheries Department kicked off comments about Evergreen degrees not being acceptable to that agency's personnel department. Though the publicity was later countered by
positive remarks from the Fisheries Director, the damage appeared to have been done.
Then, locally, the daily newspaper covered the State Auditor's report in a manner that
made it appear as though Evergreen "had lost a million dollars of equipment" with a splash
across its front page. Though the story was strongly refuted (No equipment was missing;
the college had simply not used the desired definition for defining "equipment."), it, too,
seemed to have impacted enrollment. Proof of the impact, Evans said, was in the numbers
of students who completed the admission process. "We had nearly identical numbers of students applying and being admitted this year and last year," he said. But 8 percent fewer
students decided — in late summer — right after the last two blasts — not to attend."
NEWS DIDN'T AFFECT ALL
Evans pointed out that the two areas where enrollment is up — retention and out-ofstaters — occurred where "students either were already here and knew enough not to be
swayed by the bad news — or they were beyond the reach of the stories."
Evans later commented that the perception of what's happening at Evergreen is "out
of synch with its reality." Seven years ago, he said, "expectations for what we could do
here were perhaps higher than the ability of a brand new, small college to meet. Now,
our
academic programs are much better than they're perceived tc be from the outside."

-2Confidently he added, "we won't have any problems with out enrollment once our reality
catches up with and changes that outside perception."
In his Wednesday talk Evans also pointed out to staff and students that, while enrollment is below what the college hoped, "it probably won't hurt us financially this year.
We budgeted very carefully and will be able to make any necessary adjustments."
MEDIEVAL MUSIC ON MEDIEVAL INSTRUMENTS HEADLINES TUESDAY CONCERT

Western Wynd Consort, an unusual quartet from Seattle, will bring more than 40 musical
instruments to the stage of Evergreen's Recital Hall Tuesday, October 24 in an evening concert set to begin at 8 o'clock in the Communications Building. Offering a program of medieval music played on instruments in common use during the twelfth century, the ensemble
will share the evening stage with Evergreen Faculty Musician Dr. Robert Gottlieb, presenting a viola recital accompanied by Olympia musician Jane Edge.
The second concert of the 1978-79 Tuesdays at Eight series, the October 24 event offers
presentation of seven anonymous selections by Western Wynd. The pieces originate from the
Carmina Burana, a manuscript from southern Germany written by medieval monks, The Consort
will also present "David's Lament," written by Peter Abelard, a medieval French composer.
The talented foursome uses a cross section of instruments including bowed and plucked
string, keyboards, winds, reeds and percussion. Their instruments range from the more common harp and recorder to the exotic rackett, rebec and cittern. All pieces performed by
the Consort are researched and edited by the group, often from original manuscripts and old
notations, thus recreating living music from ancient sources.
The second half of the October 24 concert presents Dr. Gottlieb and Mrs. Edge performing
a program of three sonatas: "Corelli Sonata Opus 5 No. IX" performed with ornamentation of
Geminiana, with bass accompaniment by Olympia cellist David Hoffman; "Premiere Sonata" by
Darius Milhaud; and the "1922 Sonata Opus 11 No. 4" by Paul Hindemith.
Admission to the concert is $2.50 for non-students and $1.50 for students. Advanced
reservations may be made by calling 866-6128 during regular working hours.
EVANS TO LUNCH WITH STUDENTS THURSDAY

Evergreen President Dan Evans will meet with students over lunch
Thursday, beginning at noon in Room 110 of the College Activities Building.
The brown bag session is offered as a chance for students to talk to the
president and ask whatever question they may have. Join him at noon on
Thursday.

the most thorough of its kind yet to surface — is the outcome of six months' intensive
research by Evergreen faculty economist Dr. Charles Nisbet and a six-member advanced student research team.
Funded by a Metropolitan Life Insurance grant, the study includes never-beforepublished interviews with Washington State Congressman Mike McCormick and other public
officials on nuclear issues, as well as analyses of electrical load forecasts, public

-3participation in nuclear plant licensing, decision-making on energy policy, and the economics
of coal and nuclear power.
MANCUSO CONTROVERSY EXAMINED

A special two-section feature addresses the Mancuso controversy, which has captured
public attention for more than a year and has been of specific interest to Washingtonians.
Dr. Thomas Mancuso of the University of Pittsburgh was a principle investigator of the
effects of low level radiation on workers at atomic industries until his federal contract
was suddenly terminated by the government in July 1977. The action, Mancuso still maintains, was precipitated by another report, published in 1974 by Dr. Samuel Milham, an
epidemiologist for the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.
The Milham report noted a statistical link between radiation exposure and death from
cancer among workers at this state's Hanford Nuclear Facility in Richland — a link which
Mancuso believes caused concern in both the government and industry about impending scientific findings in his own work.
The Evergreen study traces developments in the Mancuso case and outlines possible
directions the federal government might now take in continuing or discontinuing Mancuso*s
work. "It is clearly important that the Health and Mortality Study and all health studies
be conducted by truly independent researchers," the report states, just before questioning
whether public pressure might not be the key in assuring this independence.
SIX MONTHS FULL-TIME WORK

Researchers Thorn Lufkin (Seattle), Carol Benish (Olympia), Glenn Huntley (Spanaway),
Stephen Weekley (McLean, Virginia), Henry Date (Indianapolis, Indiana), and Curtis Milton
(Prosser) devoted full-time to the study of Northwest Nuclear issues between January and
July for regular academic credit. Under the faculty sponsorship of Dr. Nisbet, the team
worked for two quarters, beginning with a complete reading of a four-volume draft environmental impact statement, The Role of the Bonneville Power Administration in the Pacific
Northwest Power Supply System, released by the BPA in July 1977, and progressing finally
to final preparation of the study's published papers this month.
Copies of Nuclear Power in the Pacific Northwest: Essays on Prominent Issues are
available in limited supply for $8.50 from Dr. Charles Nisbet, The Evergreen State College,
Olympia, WA 98505, (206) 866-6651.
DANFORTH FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE

Inquiries about the Danforth Graduate Fellowships, to be awarded by the Danforth
Foundation of St. Louis, Missouri in April 1979, are invited, according to the local campus
representative, Charles. Xaske,, Member of the Faculty, Library 2108, 866-6632.
The Fellowships are open to all qualified persons who have serious interest in careers
in teaching in colleges and universities, and who plan to study for a Ph.D. in any field
of study common to the undergraduate liberal arts curriculum in the United States.
Approximately 60-65 Fellowships will be awarded to college seniors who are nominated
by Baccalaureate Liaison Officers. Another 40-45 awards will be made to Ph.D. graduate
students, nominated by Postbaccalaureate Liaison Officers.
Applicants for the baccalaureate awards must be college seniors and may not have
undertaken graduate level programs of study. The deadline to seek information about the
campus nomination process is Friday, October 27.
FOLKS LIKE MUSHROOMS, DISCO AND GLIDING

If the way we spend our free time has any influence on the direction of society, at
least here locally we can expect to see a few more disco dancers, hang gliders and mushroom
pickers in the months to come. Sandy Greenway, who oversees the Leisure Ed program for
Evergreen's Recreation Center reports that fall enrollment in 48 different workshops, yielded
more than 650 students, and that the top choices were Edible Wild Mushrooms, Hallucinogenic
and Poisonous Mushrooms, Disco Dancing, Hang gliding and Woodworking. In the case of Disco
Dancing, she noted that two extra groups had to be scheduled — one each for adults and
teens — in addition to the one original workshop.

Olympia is co-sponsored by the Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation, the Evergreen Political
Information Center, and TESC Campus Ministries.
OLEXA TALKS WEDNESDAY

Times, as the song goes, are "a changin'," and today's men and women are forced to reexamine their lives and their personal identities more closely than may have ever been the
case before. These changes in life style and personal definition cause sociologist Carol
Olexa to ponder how we define our futures and if traditional standards of good and evil are
applicable to us as we seek to come to terms with ourselves.
Olexa, an Evergreen faculty member, will share her musings with the public during a
free lecture/discussion Wednesday, October 25 beginning at 12:10 p.m. at the First United
Methodist Church on 1224 East Legion Way. Olexa's presentation is the fifth in a series of
eight Wednesday noon events titled "A Piece of My Mind," sponsored jointly by Evergreen
Campus Ministeries, the Olympia Ministerial Association, and Associated Ministeries of Thurston County.
NEW FILM SERIES BEGINS

A 13-week film series by Jacob Bronowski called "The Ascent of Man" began this week

also include a short film.
CHICANO STUDENTS INVITED TO MECHA MEETINGS

Student Susan Ybarra invites campus Chicano students to join her in efforts to revitalize
the college MECHA group which went out of existence here about three years ago. She's offering two meetings next week — Wednesday at noon or Thursday at 3 p.m., both in Library 3206 —
for students who'd like to expand Chicano activities on campus, organize a new MECHA, develop
peer support groups or explore Chicano culture, history, language and brotherhood together.
Persons who'd like to become involved but can't attend the meetings are encouraged to call
Ybarra at 6034.

-5COOPER OFFERS EVALUATION SESSION
Personnel Director Rita Cooper has invited all Evergreen "supervisory staff" to a daylong meeting Wednesday, November 1 in Library 3407 to discuss new evaluation criteria and
procedures applicable to all classified personnel. Special guest of the day-long session
is Pete Scontino, a Seattle management consultant who specializes in evaluation systems and
has been working on the new regulations with several state educational institutions. He'll
offer some practical hints on how to fill out the proposed staff evaluation forms and he'll
clarify legal requirements of the new program which became effective this past July. By law
all classified personnel who are on the payroll by April of 1979 need to be evaluated using'
the new system by June 30, 1979.
NEW SPEAKERS BUREAU OFFERS 69
Public school teachers, area ministers, and program chairmen for community groups of
all sizes and interests this week received a resource book from Evergreen to help them plan
activities for the 1978-79 school year. Some 69 Evergreen faculty and staff have volunteered
their services to present talks, many of them accompanied by slides, on a wide variety of
topics ranging from solid academic discussions such as "New Research on Solar Energy Conversion" or "How Children Learn" to more playful talks on areas of personal interest, examining
"Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest," "Sailing for Fun," or "Total Exercise."
Speakers, their topics and the times they're available are all listed in the newly published 1978/79 issue of Evergreen's Speakers Bureau, a resource which came off the presses
this week, and went right into area mailboxes. Purpose of the Speakers Bureau, says College
Relations Director Judy Annis, is "to share the college's expertise with our neighbors. We
have faculty members who have recently traveled to Cuba, Africa and Japan; we have others
10 are researching new development in solar power conversion and genetic manipulation, and
still others who are experts in fields ranging from Shakespeare to local history, from psychological disorders to financial management," she says. "They'd enjoy sharing what they know
with public school children, or local church groups or community service clubs who might be
interested."
Now in its sixth year of publication, the Speakers Bureau is an annual service offered
by Evergreen to those living in the college's service area. More than 300 copies have already
been distributed. Persons who would like to "book" an Evergreen speaker — or those who may
not have received a copy of the new brochure — may call College Relations, 866-6128, weekdays
during regular working hours.

FACULTY ESTABLISH "OFFICIAL VOICE;" ELECT YOUTZ CHAIRMAN
BY: Judy Annis, Director of Information Services
Provost Byron Youtz has been elected chairman of the monthly faculty meetings which by
a voice vote last week were established as "the official voice of the faculty." The meetings, to be conducted 3 to 5 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, will feature votes
on policy decisions. The majority vote "of those present at any meeting will represent the
policy positions of the faculty," which also voted to operate under a "no quorum rule" and
to elect an "Agenda Committee" of six to plan future meetings. Elected were Faculty Members Mark Levensky, David Marr, Kaye V. Ladd, Jeff Kelly, Betty_ Estes_ and Andrew Hanfman.
Unprecedented is the election of the chief academic officer to head a faculty policy
making body and the creation of a body that assumes the role of "official voice" using
actual votes, rather than consensus as a means for determining faculty viewpoint.
Also unprecedented was the unanimity of results of a "pop quiz" Youtz gave to faculty September 18 and repotted on at the October 4 afternoon session. The quiz, which asked
faculty to summarize institutional goals and methods, resulted in an usually high consensus
on those missions by the 77 persons who took the test. There was, said Youtz, "gratifying
unanimity of opinion" on statements of goals, defined by faculty in less than 15 minutes
three weeks ago.
HIGHEST GOAL: QUALITY EDUCATION
Highest goal of the college, said faculty examinees, was to "provide a quality liberal
arts education which emphasizes an interdisciplinary, problem-solving orientation and connects theory and practice." The challenge, faculty agreed, was to provide this education
in the context of a public institution which has already devised what amounts to a "core
curriculum" with its coordinated studies program. Other goals receiving strong support from
faculty were: helping students learn to solve problems in an independent and creative way;
developing in students the ability to think for themselves, to become responsible for their
own learning and to reevaluate their own goals; and to "instill a desire to continue learning
throughout life and develop the capability to do so."
Faculty respondents also agreed a major goal should be to "nurture an atmosphere on
campus conductive to the intellectual enrichment and cultural growth of students, faculty
and staff."
Eight methods for accomplishing those goals were cited. The first was "provide an
educational climate which is holistic, integrative, interdisciplinary and enlivening," faculty said. They reaffirmed support for seminar and one-on-one instruction and voiced strong
enthusiasm for the colleger's emphasis on "active rather than passive learning," Faculty
also agreed they must "teach students the necessary reading, writing, speaking and organizational skills so that they can present themselves confidently and articulately." As Youtz
summed it up, faculty wanted to "teach students to work hard -— so they can leave here
loaded with self confidence."
B
REQUIREMENT PROPOSALS WELL RECEIVED
Youtz urged faculty to consider a definition of "quality education" in "our own context,"
a definition he felt important to our own self evaluation, to the. studies of us "being undertaken by others and to the potential student seeking a good education." One definition the

-2provost volunteered "might be the extent to which each student is stretched to do better
than he or she thought possible.." "This definition
he added, "is relative, but it is
applicable to all students, no matter what the starting point or education level."
Youtz also urged faculty to tackle the issues of "what an Evergreen degree means"
and submitted to faculty a proposal to establish two requirements for graduation beyond the
"minimum of 45 Evergreen units" now necessary. He suggested we require "at least four
quarters or 15 units of work in coordinated studies programs that cross both disciplinary
and divisional lines" for all three or four-year graduates. And he suggested that one and
two-year graduates (transfers) take at least one quarter of such work, The boyishly disarming
provost also urged that Evergreen require "some terminal work or event" of all seniors —
a recital, project, gallery show, significant paper, or competency exam — "the choices and
details of which should be worked out by the specialty area." Youtz cited "lots of advantages" to the requirements, including the prospect that they will enable students to more
clearly picture what they're working for and at the same time, they'll help Evergreen curriculum planners better shape coordinated studies programs as they're designed. He felt
the requirements would also "commit ourselves to both breadth and depth as an institution,"
and will "provide a specific ending point ... toward which students work."
He candidly confessed that "perhaps the disadvantages are equally numerous, but in my
debate with myself I believe they are not." The provost asked for faculty views and invited
their debate of his proposal.
In a report October 11 to the Enrollment Design DTF (see page 4 ), Youtz said his
proposal "was very warmly received" which he found "terribly flattering." But, he noted,
"the response was really probably more an indication that the faculty wanted to discuss
these requirements than it was an endorsement of my ideas."
The provost also told DTF members he was "interested in gaining a sense of student
view of our goals, but that he didn't quite know how to do it.

PAPER SHORTAGE HITS NEWSLETTER
As you can readily see, this week's Newsletter is different. At the
request of Central Services Coordinator Jim Duncan, we've resorted to printing
the Newsletter on 16-pound paper for the duration of the paper strike.
Though it takes more paper this way (since 16-pound is too thin to "back it
up" on both sides) Duncan says it's more efficient right now, because the
college's supply of 20-pound paper is rapidly dwindling.
"We're already running short of colors and types of paper in the Print
Shop," Duncan says. "We just won't have the selections to choose from until
the strike is settled."
He urges all users of both the campus Print Shop and the xerox and duplicating machines to "conserve now," or end up with no paper later. The Newsletter has heeded that urgent advice. Hope you'll follow suit too.

KUEHN TO BECQtjE... I.N.STITUTI.QNA.L RESEARCHER
Faculty Sociologist Dr., Lowell "Duke" Kuehn may soon assume part-time duties as acting
director of institutional research, according to Les Eldridge, assistant to the president
and possible head of a new group on campus, Kuehn's appointment, subject to both presidential and trustee approval, would require him to devote half-time Fall Quarter only to serve
as an interim director of the research office while a search for a permanent director gets
underway.
Eldridge says the new appointment is part of an overall reorganization which comes before the Board of Trustees next Thursday for approval. If approved, the new reorganization
will leave Eldridge with the same title, but expand his responsibilities to include supervision of Development and Institutional Research, in addition to his tasks as governmental
relations liaison and assistant to the president.
The new, as yet unnamed group, will consist of Development staffers Paul Roberts,

-3-

as acting director, and Marguerite Gibbs as secretary, with Roberts to return to an assistant director with alumni responsibilities once a new director is hired. Kuehn's staff
would include a half-time secretary yet to be hired and several student researchers. Eldridge
would oversee those operations with the aid of Bonnie Hilts, administrative assistant.
Eldridge says he^s especially pleased that Kuehn, who joined the faculty in 1975'with
a doctorate in sociology which included work in research and statistics, has agreed to the
half-time appointment. Tasks immediately facing the professor, who in the past two-years
has coordinated the highly successful Vancouver Outreach program, include conducting marketing surveys to identify Evergreen*s "segments of the educational market," and responding
to an ever-increasing number of data requests from state agencies and the legislature before
the January, 1979 session begins.
The Eldridge group is slated to be discussed as a personnel matter at the October 19
Board of Trustees meeting on campus, which begins at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112 and is open
to the public.

TRUSTEES CONVENE THURSDAY
Evergreen's Board of Trustees meets Thursday, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112
to consider changes to the college's organization table, bid approval for the Vancouver Outreach program, revision to both the social contract and the facilities use policy and to
hear a number of reports from campus personnel.
The organization table, which can only be changed with trustee approval, relates to
proposed assignment of increased responsibilities to Presidential Assistant Les_ Eldridge
(see preceding story), while the bid award would enable contractors to precede with remodeling work at the "Vancouver barracks," an old officers headquarters at Fort Vancouver being
remodeled into new Evergreen quarters for the Vancouver Outreach program. The new headquarters, by happy coincidence, are located on Evergreen Boulevard.
Trustees will call an 11 a.m. hearing to discuss revision of the social contract and
they'll also consider revision of the facilities use policy relating to campus events and
appearances.
President Dan Evans is expected to offer a report on enrollment, followed by reports
on affirmative action by Rin.de.tta Jones; art galleries reorganization by Faculty Member
Susan Aurand, and campus summer institutes by Academic Dean Barbara Smith, who will offer
information on both the kinds of conferences Evergreen has hosted during past summers and
the types the college could seek in the future.
The regular monthly trustee, meeting is open to the public.
MCQUARRIE RECEIVES TESC''S FIFTH YOUTHERANT
Edward McQuarrie, an Olympia resident and recent Evergreen graduate, has been awarded
a Youthgrant by the National Endowment of the Humanities to conduct a "Study of Literary
Criticism Through Dream Interpretation.." Mcqua.rrie, a 1976 TESC graduate who now serves as
an adjunct faculty member, received $5,542 to complete, his nine-month study, which will
culminate in publication of a full-length journal article and a short book. His project
is the fifth Evergreen proposal funded by the NEH Youthgrant program in the past four years.
The study, which calls for McQuarrie to conduct an in-depth analysis from both psychological and literary perspectives, will be completed with the assistance of Evergreen Faculty Members Dr. Richard Jones, Dr. Charles Teske and Dr. Craig Carlson.
The roots for McQuarrie's project lie in his undergraduate work in dream reflection
conducted at TESC under the nationally recognized authority of Dr. Jones, who has written
several books on dream analysis and is the founder of the technique of dream studies known
as the dream reflection seminar. Evergreen provided McQuarrie with the necessary experience
to explore what he calls "comparisons between two fields — literature (poetry in this case)
and psychology (dreaming)."

"SUBSTANTIATE" COMMONALITY OF DREAMS AND POETRY
Observing that "it's a commonly held belief that dreams and poetry contain similar
Imagery," McQuarrie says he "hopes to substantiate that belief" in his nine-month effort..
His journal article will attempt to demonstrate "how the practice of dream reflection
can increase our response to certain difficult literary works," he explains. He'll concentrate on the famous Greek play Oedipus Rex and seek to show "how the imagery of that play,
written by Sophocles in the 5th century B.C., can be seen as similar in pattern and function
to dream imagery." McQuarrie hopes to demonstrate that a background in dream reflection
"might lead us to new understandings of this complex Greek classic."
For his book, McQuarrie will make use of materials developed in the course of four
dream reflection seminars he'll teach at Evergreen Winter and Spring Quarters. Each tenstudent seminar will feature sharing and discussion of student dreams. From the 40 dreams
thus treated, McQuarrie will select eight "of the most extraordinary." Then he'll seek to
"give each of those eight dreams the kind of treatment a literary critic would give to a
notable poem."
McQuarrie says he chose Oedipus Rex as his sample poetic text to "show what dreams
can teach us about poetry." His in-depth criticism of the eight dreams, on the other hand,
"will show what poetry and poetic criticism has to offer to students of dreams."
After completing the article and the in-depth dream analyses, McQuarrie will conclude
both his study and his book by "re-examining Freud's position on the aesthetic potential
of dreams." He'll use one of Freud^s own dreams and "see what I can reveal about poetic
qualities in this dream which other commentaries may have overlooked." McQuarrie hopes
his article will be suitable for publication in a scholarly journal, and that his book "will
be suitable for a more general audience."
EVANS APPOINTS TASK FORCE TO EXAMINE "ENROLLMENT DESIGN"
President Dan Evans has appointed an 18-member disappearing task force to develop a
"Design for Enrollment at Evergreen." The DTF, which meets Wednesday mornings from 8 to
10 o'clock in Library 2118, is headed by Enrollment Services Dean Larry jatenberg and faces
a December 15 deadline for completion of its lengthy assignment..
Explained by Evans, the DTF has been asked to determine "how to translate our role and
mission into indescribably enticing and understandable language to potential students, the
local community, the legislature, and even to our own community.." In his October 5 charge
to the DTF the president said he was asking the group "to proceed as promptly as possible
to analyse the sometimes conflicting images we present to the public, to coordinate with
our role and mission statement now being developed, and to devise a comprehensive plan for
student attraction and retention,"
In addition., said Evans, "it is important that this task, force attempt to deal with the
problem of changing the perception of the local community toward Evergreen and bring that
perception closer to reality."
He urged the group to coordinate its efforts with the long-range college plan now being
developed to determine needed internal communications, and to examine external communications.
He also required the DTF to examine "our high school (recruitment) efforts," examine community college and transfer contacts and strive to achieve "some major decisions and directions" before the end of Fall Quarter..
DTF discussion could result, according to Chairman Stenberg, in a series of recommendations to deans and directors for changes in procedures and services that impact enrollment.
Stenberg said DTF members hope interested college staff, faculty and students will feel
free to attend the Wednesday morning sessions. Members are also not only willing, but
eager to discuss the DTF on an individual basis. Questions may be addressed to Stenberg
or any of the following members; Faculty Nancy Taylor, Virginia Ingersoll, Duke Kuehn,
Mary Nelson, David Marr, Burt Guttman or Greg_ Steinke; Staff Will Humphreys, Stone Thomas,
Arnaldij Rodriguez, Les Eldridge, Barbara Cooley and Judy Ann is; Students Bill Hucks,
Barbara Swain and Marilyn Ward; or community representative Mary Ellen Benson, an active
member of The Evergreen College Community Organization (ECCO) who is also an adjunct faculty
member.

-5upcoming events
CANDIDATES FAIR AND FORUM SET
Eighteen candidates for Congress, Washington State Legislature and Thurston County
offices will state their views and meet the public in a three-hour Candidates Fair and
Forum, Thursday, November 2 at Evergreen. The event, the third held at TESC since 1974, is
offered "to provide the public a chance to see, hear and talk to all the local candidates
in one place just before the election," according to Judy Annis, Fair and Forum organizer.
Moderated by KGY Radio News Director Bob MacLeod. the evening program will feature
brief presentations by all local candidates who face opposition in the November 7 General
Election. Unopposed candidates — and the 30 contenders for Freeholders' positions will be
introduced during the program and will be available to meet the public both before and after
the Forum.
All candidates will be on hand at 7 p.m. in the main lobby of the Library to distribute campaign literature and get acquainted with interested citizens. The Forum begins at
7:30 p.m. with welcoming remarks from both Evergreen President Dan Evans and Olympia Area
Chamber of Commerce President Lew Yarbrough. Following the 90-minute Forum, all candidates
and the public are invited to a half hour "coffee break" to provide an additional chance to
discuss views and clarify issues.
The free, three-hour program is co-sponsored by the Thurston County League of Women
Voters, Republican and Democratic Central Committees, Olympia Area Chamber of Commerce,
Association of University Women and Evergreen in an attempt to help better inform voters of
the issues and candidates before the November 7 election.
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FOCUS OF FIRST JOB DAY
Representatives of 11 public agencies and two graduate schools will participate in an
all day Job and Graduate School Information Day on Government and Public Adminstration, Wednesday, October 18, beginning at 9:30 a.m. in Room 110 of the College Activities Building.
Sponsored by the Office of Career Planning and Placement, the seminar will offer students a chance to explore employment prospects with representatives from the City of Mercer
Island, Washington State Association of Counties, Thurston County CETA Center, Puget Sound
Council of Governments, Washington State Department of Personnel, Washington Senate Research
Center, Washington House of Representatives Program Research, Common Cause, Federal Civil
Service Commission, Association of Washington Cities and Washington Federation of State
Employees.

Interested students are urged to attend a brown bag workshop Monday, October 16 at noon
in Library 1213. Students should sign up for both the brown bag workshop and the Wednesday
session by calling Career Planning and Placement, 866-6193 or stopping by the office in
Library 1214.
WORKSHOP FOR NEW STUDENTS OFFERED
Getting adjusted to Evergreen — or any college for that matter — can be a little
nerve-wracking. Filtering through the campus air like fall leaves are the familiar cries —
"My teachers must think I'm an idiot!", "God, I feel lost," or "Hey — this place is really
it!" Personal adjustment on campus is the special interest of Coordinator Tom Eastgard
and staff at the Evergreen Counseling Center, third floor Library. And they have just announced a special workshop to address the new student blues. Scheduled two times, Wednesday
October 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., at "The Corner" in Doru A, and again Friday October 20,
3-5 p.m., CAB 110, the workshops will be a brainstorming discussion time to come up with ways
that new folks on campus can survive transitions, overcome obstacles and otherwise achieve
a better hold on life and self. Call Tom Eastgard, 866-6151, if you have questions about
the Counseling Center or the workshops.

-6CURTZ TO EXPLORE JUNGIAN THEORY
Dr. Thad Curtz, professor of literature at Evergreen, will offer new perspectives on
"Jungian Theory and the Way We Live and Work," during a free lecture-discussion October 18,
12:10 p.m., at the First United Methodist Church, 1224 E. Legion Way. Curtz' presentation
is fourth in a series of eight Wednesday noon events titled "A Piece of My Mind," sponsored
jointly by Evergreen Campus Ministeries, the Olympia Ministerial Association, and Associated
Ministeries of Thurnton County.
The theories of Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, are of interest to student and scholars
alike, Curtz says, because they apply to so many aspects of the human personality and everyday life. To American poet Robert Ely, for instance, Jung's thought suggests that people
who have long, fruitful careers are those who develop and integrate the weaker aspects of
their personalities, in part by learning to relate to a community of many different kinds
of people rather than those just like themselves.
In his talk, Curtz will discuss these ideas and relate them to practical situations
like careers, writing and marriage.
PRINTMAKERS COLLECTION GOES ON DISPLAY MONDAY

A rare showing of prints by Washington and Northwest master printmakers will be presented to the public October 16 through November 6 in Evergreen's Library Gallery, according
to Sid White, exhibits coordinator and faculty member in the arts. The exhibit is part of
the total Evergreen Printmakers Collection, which includes the works of 50 master printers
in Washington and other Northwest communities.
Selections will include "Garden Walk," an intaglio print by Keith Achepohl; "The Color
Square," a collagraph by Glen Alps; "Golden — I.C.," a lithograph by Paul Brekke; "Baja
Shores," a collagraph by Margaret Sahlstrand; and "X, XA: Time Dilation," a photo-silkscreen
by Joel Jenssen; and numerous other works representing a wide range of printmaking techniques.
The Evergreen Printmaking Collection was acquired in 1970-71, says White, and was presented in an original showing at the college April 1972. Selected with the expertise of
specialists from the State Arts Commission, State Capitol Museum and Evergreen, the collection
has since been in circulation at galleries, colleges and other public buildings in Washington
state.
Pat Matheny-White, director of Evergreen's library user services, says that the total
collection will again be placed in public circulation following its Evergreen appearance.
Organizations may contact her at 866-6250 to request the show.
Accompanying selections from the Evergreen Printmaking Collection will be a second showing of works from the summer program "Photographs." Student produced, these samples reflect
a wide variety of topics and photography techniques.
The Gallery, first floor, Library, is open 8-11, Monday through Thursday; 8-7, Fridays;
1-5 Saturdays and 1-9 on Sundays.
OFF-CAMPUS GROUPS TO "BOOK" THROUGH WARD

All persons from off-campus seeking use of college facilities will be asked to "book"
their space requests through the Conference and Convention Office, headed by Donnagene
Ward and based in the College Bookstore. The newly affirmed procedure should, says Ward,
"eliminate some confusion for both community persons and those on campus who seek to host offcampus groups." If you have questions about reservations or assignment of spaces by offcampus groups, please check with Ward at 866-6216.
On-campus requests for use of facilities are still to be cleared by Space Analyst Kris
Robinson in Facilities (866-6340).
SOCCER SQUAD BOOTS DOC'S TEAM SUNDAY
The Evergreen Geoduck soccer team will meet Doc's Sport Shop for its second rousing
game of the season Sunday, October 15, 2 p.m., at St. Martin's field. Geoducks polished
off their initial rivals, St. Martin's College, last Sunday in a 6-2 battle.

curriculum seminar urged
DEANS TO LAUNCH ACADEMIC TRIAL BALLOON THURSDAY

Assistant Academic Dean Jeanne Hahn has announced key dates and new steps for creating
the 1979-80 Evergreen curriculum. Hahn, who's eyeing a November 1 deadline for completing proposed curriculum plans, asks faculty and students to mark three key dates on their calendars:
Thursday, October 12, the date the "Trial Balloon'* will be launched; Wednesday, October 18,
"The Curriculum Open House," and Friday, October 20, return date of the Trial Balloon to the
deans' offices, complete with student and faculty critiques, suggestions and review.
New to the process this year are the advanced status of the curricular design this first
week of school and the institution of "curriculum seminars" in the midst of the Trial Balloon's
flight.
"We're already several weeks ahead of where we usually are (with curriculum planning)
this time of year," says Hahn, who credits a three-day faculty retreat at Fort Flager in June
for the headstart. Many of the faculty drafted proposals for next year's programs at Flager,
which gave Hahn and the other three deans a chance to analyze plans before faculty returned
last month. The deans' analysis and "distillation" of Flager notes were ready for Faculty
"eptember 13, and by next Thursday the results of those early plans, the deans' review, and
.acuity redrafts will be up for all to see, promises Hahn.
BALLOON HOISTED IN THREE PLACES
The "Trial Balloon," as each year's proposed curriculum is dubbed; will be officially
launched in three places next Thursday — the deans' hall in the Library Building; the hall
outside the cafeteria in the College Activities Building; and the hall nearest Cooperative
Education Offices in Laboratory I. Hahn and fellow Assistant Dean Rob Knapp will post complete descriptions of all programs in each of the three areas. From there, it's up to students and faculty to take up the tasks of review, critique, analysis and redesign.
"We'll leave the proposals up until Friday, October 20," says Hahn. "In the meantime,
we hope students will carefully study all the proposals and give us their reactions." This
year, Hahn's determined to get "better quality" reactions, both written and verbal, from
student reviewers and has added a new step in the curriculum review process in hopes of
raising that level of analysis.
"We're asking all faculty members to set aside one seminar session to discuss the proposed curriculum with their students," says the new dean. "If students read the proposals
before the seminars, they'll then be prepared to discuss their reactions with both faculty
and fellow students." Hahn says the "curriculum seminar" will give students a better opportunity to inform themselves about "not just the proposed curriculum, but the whole curriculum
process at Evergreen;" it will offer "faculty better information on how students perceive
the curriculum planning process and the whole academic structure;" and it will give both
faculty and students "a chance to exchange views" in a way that's not been done before.
Hahn also sees the curriculum seminars as a "tremendous opportunity for "socialization"
of first year students who will have been on campus only a few weeks. "They'll have a chance
to discuss some of the aspects about our academic program planning they might not have undertood — and faculty will get the opportunity to dispel some myths and clear up confusions,"
-ahn hopes. Students studying in advanced speciality areas will be able to offer their
faculty some "specific suggestions about what they want in their areas" while faculty gain
the chance "to help better educate students about what those speciality areas are designed
for," Hahn theorizes.

-2PART OF ADVISING EMPHASIS
The curriculum seminar, she believes, "is another aspect of our new emphasis on advisi?r
In this case its a two-way process: educating students about curriculum and giving faculty greater access to student views."
The seminars, Hahn plans, will be staged before Wednesday, October 18, when deans will
host a "Curriculum Open House" from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the 2nd floor Library lobby. Faculty
("and hopefully some student") representatives of basic, annual and interdisciplinary programs
will be on hand to answer what Hahn hopes will be "some very specific questions" about the
proposed curriculum. Response sheets will be distributed to obtain written comments from students who Hahn hopes "will be better informed than they've ever been about what is being
proposed."
Once the Trial Balloon lands (when the deans pull it off the walls October 20), Hahn
promises there will still be time for a hard reality check that examines which programs in
this year's curriculum drew enthusiastic student response (were full or over-enrolled) and
which did not (or were underenrolled).
That check, plus filling of any identified curriculum holes, polishing of program descriptions and initial assignment of faculty to next year's programs must all be accomplished by
November 1, when the final version of Supplement copy has to be delivered for editing, designing, and printing if a January 1 publication date is to be achieved.

UNSUNG COMIC POET SHARES HERITAGE SEARCH WEDNESDAY
Native Olympian and celebrated writer and genealogist Willard "Wede" Espy comes home to
give a free public lecture on the joy and means of discovering one's heritage on October 11
at 7:30 p.m., at the Olympia Community Center. Now based in New York, Espy has been deemed
"our best unsung comic poet" by critics such as Alistaire Cooke for his witty and human arti 1es
in Harper's, Punch, Nation and Atlantic, and for works like An Almanac of Words at Play;, Omi
Me Yours Tonight and his recent Oysterville: Roads to Grandpa's Village.
Espy's appearance is the first of a series of events to appear with "The Heritage Program,"
sponsored by Thurston County Senior Center, State Capitol Museum and Evergreen and coordinated by Dr. Ronald Manheimer, Heritage Program director.
Wede Espy began tracing his own family tree in 1935, which makes Oysterville a long
evolved personal project. Published last year by Clarkson Potter, Oysterville tells the story
of the Espy family for several generations in the Washington coast hamlet of the same name,
which was, in fact, founded by Espy's grandfather. About genealogy Espy believes that "exploring one's family origins do not only establish descent, they throw light on one's make-up."
"Each of us is a link between the past and the future," he asserts, even though he maintains
that the real roots are the ones we create in our own lives.
Espy switched from a career in public relations to the pleasure of light writing when he
was "in his early sixties," and claims to be enjoying himself more than ever. The signs of
his pleasure have proliferated seven full-length works in as many years, with his book 0 Thou
Improper, Thou Uncommon Noun to appear this fall.
In his Wednesday evening lecture he will urge his listeners to gather material about
their own families, however sparse or abundant, and he will give tips on how to make this fun
and productive. Espy will also meet with students and faculty at Evergreen in special seminars on writing and genealogy while in Olympia.

MADDOX BECOMES SECOND TESC "DR."
Olympian Tom Maddox. 33, has become the second Evergreen graduate to attain the doctor?"
degree, education'^ highest award. The Evergreen alum, class of '-75, recently completed
three years of advanced work in literary studies at American University, Washington D.C. and
received his Doctor of Philosophy award with honors from Phi Kappa Phi scholastic fraternity.
Dr. Maddox has returned to Olympia to begin teaching English and literature, and to

"get reacquainted with the Puget Sound area," which he feels, is home.
Evergreen's first alum to receive the coveted doctoral award was Sally Mendoza, who
".ompleted her advanced degree work in psyehobiology at Stanford University last Winter and
.eturned to team-teach "The Biological Bases of Human Social Behavior" at Evergreen Spring
Quarter.
Maddox says he chose American University's graduate program in literary studies because
it allowed him to continue the kind of interdisciplinary learning he had found at Evergreen.
Combining aspects of philosophy, psychology and literature, Maddox's three years of advanced
studies concluded with a thesis that took a psychoanalytic approach in examining Gravity's
Rainbow, a novel by contemporary author Thomas Pynchon.
The advantage of interdisciplinary education, according to Maddox, is that it relates
areas of knowledge and better fosters critical thinking. During his last year of undergraduate school at Evergreen, Maddox was a seminar discussion leader in "Dreams and Poetry," an
academic program taught by Dr. Richard Jones and Dr. Leo Daugherty and concerned with the
disciplines of psychology and literature.
Maddox believes that Evergreen should stand firm on the features that make it unique
— its support for individualized degree goals-. Interdisciplinary learning, intellectual
freedom, and excellent faculty. Looking back, Dr. Maddox observes, "Evergreen encourages
intellectual responsiblity. It should never play that down."

WOODBURY TO EXPLORE THE IRRATIONAL WEDNESDAY
We all come to assume certain things about the world and other people, observes Dr.
Ronald Woodbury, faculty political economist. But, it helps us to have a more accurate world
view when we can sort out irrational and false notions, he says. Woodbury will share some
ways of "Breaking Down the Irrational" when he leads a free discussion on Wednesday, October
11 at 12:10 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 1224 East Legion Way..
His presentation is third in a series of eight Wednesday noon events titled "A Piece of
My Mind" sponsored jointly by Evergreen Campus Ministeries, the Olympia Ministerial Association and Associated Ministeries of Thurston County., All events are brown bag, with beverages
provided. Speakers presentations last 40 minutes, with discussion following.
Woodbury is presently teaching "An Introduction to Political Economy," a one-quarter
academic program at Evergreen that combines, history, political science, sociology and economics
an interdisciplinary study of issues. His Wednesday talk will address irrational common
^otions including those about the competitiveness of the U.,S. economy and free enterprise
system and other emotionally-packed notions dealing with male and female stereotypes and the
assumed appearance and actions of rape victims.

10-MILE ROAD TEST SET
Hearty souls are invited to a 10.. 2-mile road run Saturday, October 14 by Evergreen's

CLABAUGH CHARGES COMPUTER REVIEW DTF
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh had convened a 13-member disappearing task
force to review the college's computer services operation. The DTF, which must complete
its report by November 15 in order to update the college's five-year plan for the state Data
Processing Authority, met for the first time Wednesday, under the direction of temporary
chairman John Aikin.
A copy of the DTF charge is available for review at the Information
Center.

HANDICAPPED PARKERS NEED "PROOF"
Parking Supervisor Carl Renshaw has- asked that persons seeking to use the handicapped
parking slots show "proof of handicap." That proof, he says, can be "visual proof, a special
permit issued through the Department of Labor and Industry or a doctor's statement indicating
the person is unable to walk." Handicap permits will then be issued in the Security Office,
Room 2109 of the Seminar Building.
Vehicles parked in the handicap spaces without a permit will be subject to impound at
owner/operator expense, he notes.

COUNSELING SERVICES OPEN FOUR DAYS A WEEK
Tom Eastgard, newly named coordinator of the campus Counseling Center, says his operation will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday in Room 3223 of the Evans
Library. Eastgard, formerly a therapist/consultant for the Community Mental Health Center,
is replacing former Counseling head Kathy Jordan for Fall Quarter, while recruitment for a
permanent counseling coordinator takes place.
Among services offered at the Center are counseling of a "short term, personal or crisis
nature," group counseling in response to "expressed needs," consultation to academic programs
in mental health and human emotions, and referral service.
Eastgard is assisted by Ellen Ahana and Don Akutagawa, clinical psychologists, available
on Tuesdays and Thursdays respectively.

EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS.
Faculty Member Carrie Cable has. made the pages of two of the state's major daily newspapers in recent weeks. Cable, on leave from Evergreen, has founded a management consulting (
service in Seattle to help American businessmen better understand Japanese business practices.
The industrious Evergreen professor first lived in Japan in 1969 while studying folk religion
and later led an Evergreen student team to that country for a year-long academic program.

recent Oysterville: Roads to Grandpa's Village.
