...TRUSTEES TO REVIEW TUITION SCHEDULE THURSDAY...Evergreen's Board of Trustees meets
Thursday, December 14, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3114 to consider proposed changes
to the college's tuition and fee schedule, a new draft of the school Strike Policy, and
acceptance of final work on the Communications Building. Trustees are also expected Thursday to receive an update from President Dan Evans on the December 12 meeting of the Council
on Postsecondary Education, which will consider a staff report drafted on TESC and released
for study last week.
Tuition proposals call for three changes: eliminating out-of-state tuition rates for
Summer Quarter; creating a special rate for training courses Evergreen might offer for
credit through the State's Division of Human Resource Development; and approving a waiver of
tuition and fees for persons 60 years of age or more.
...EVERGREEN-VANCOUVER MOVES TO OFFICERS' ROW...The state's newest four-year college officially moved into one of Clark County's oldest facilities yesterday when President Dan Evans
welcomed the public to newly renovated headquarters for Evergreen's Vancouver Outreach Program. Located on East Evergreen Boulevard, a street named long before TESC-Vancouver opened
two years ago, the new collegiate headquarters are part of Fort Vancouver's old officers' row.
The two-story duplex, officially listed in the National Historic Register, was carefully renovated over the past two months to both meet the needs of local students attending EvergreenVancouver and to preserve the historic integrity of the handsome structure.
The first Evergreen-Vancouver program began in September 1976, based at Clark College
and headed by Evergreen Faculty Member Dr. Lowell Kuehn. Offering upper division studies
in human services, that program graduated eight Clark County residents its first year and
an additional 54 students in June.
This fall Evergreen-Vancouver is coordinated by faculty member Dr. Lin Foa, and has
enrolled 45 juniors and seniors in its interdisciplinary Community Studies program, which
still holds large group meetings on the rapidly growing Clark College. Clark's growth,
coupled with Evergreen-Vancouver's desire for a separate identity and campus led Dr. Foa to
direct a search for a new Evergreen home last year.
As of December 10, TESC-Vancouver has its own new house, complete with new faculty
and staff offices, a student lounge, and a large seminar room renovated following designs
approved by the Washington State Commission for Historic Preservation with funds provided by
Evergreen.
...SKI SCHOOL REGISTRATION OPENS...Registrations are now being accepted for Evergreen's Ski
School which plans to hit the slopes beginning Sunday,January 7 and Wednesday, January 10.
The classes, which include seven two-hour lessons and eight charter bus trips to Crystal
Mountain near Mount Rainier, begin with an orientation meeting for both Sunday and Wednesday

....SPORTS NEWS...GEODUCKS TAKE FIRST PLACE...The Geoducks seven-man A-team volleyball squad
walked away with a first place regional trophy December 2 at the Second Annual YMCA Invitational Meet in Tacoma. The event, which convened nine teams from around the state, was the
first U.S. Volleyball Association competition this season, according to Geoduck team captain
Mark Schmidt.
The first place victory was underscored by a 14-win-2-loss season for the Geoducks. The
Evergreeners topped the University of Washington's junior varsity, University of Puget Sound
and six community clubs from Wenatchee, Bellingham, Tacoma and Seattle in taking first-place
honors. "The victory," claims Schmidt, "puts Evergreen on the volleyball map — it was a
fine day for Evergreen and for Olympia."
The victorious Geoducks include Schmidt, an alum; Greg Moo, alum and Computer Services
staff member, Treg Bradley and Scott Cubberly, both alums; Dave Crosby, student; and Jerry
Aeschlimann and Kevin Armstrong, Olympia community members.
...SEMINAR ON JAPAN SLATED NEXT MONTH...Evergreen Faculty Member Carie Cable is offering a
day-long seminar on "Initiating Exports to Japan" January 19 for which TESC academic credit
may be earned. Cable's seminar, sponsored through her Seattle-based management education
service called Kyodai, is the first of three seminars she's designed on trade with Japan.
The keynote speech for the January 19 event, scheduled at the Washington Plaza Hotel in
Seattle, will be delivered by Robert Chase, senior director of marketing and planning in
Pacific Operations for Otis Elevator. Chase will discuss market entry channels and strategies in addition to talks by Ricky Smith from Seattle Stevedore Company, Iain Moffat of Standard Chartered Bank, Roy Leach of Royel Industries, Thomas Ward of Seaport Shipping Company,
Donald Jackson of Washington State Department of Commerce and Economic Development and Cable.
Full details on the Japan seminar will be available January 3 at Evergreen.

"HOMECOMING" ACTIVITIES BEGIN THIS MORNING
Students from four academic programs have combined forces in the past few weeks to
encourage greater community sharing and to sponsor what they call Evergreen's "first homecoming." The event, which begins at 11 o'clock this morning, will feature sharing of
design proposals to improve the climate of the college, particularly in the College Activities Building; an open mike to facilitate sharing of songs, poetry, news and views; and
displays of proposed campus changes.
Participating in the overall "community effort" are students from Alternative Energy
Studies, Decentralization, Environmental Design and the Housing Design Project, with
assistance from architect Jon Collier, facilities staffers and faculty program sponsors.
Together the student teams have analyzed plans for making Evergreen a "warmer" place (aesthetically) to live, study and work. Among changes the group has examined is the soon-tobe completed shift of the Deli from the central portion of the second floor CAB mall to the
east end. The move will also include expanding the Deli's capabilities to include sandwiches, fresh juices and other delicacies, possibly even fresh pastries. Students have also
offered proposals for revising the bulletin boards around the Information Center and changing the look of the mall by removing two of the kiosks that dominated its eastern end.
Some student suggestions have already led to action, and they hope more will be in
effect by the time classes resume January 3. Be sure you venture over to the second floor
of the CAB today — between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. — to view the changes, examine the proposals,
and enjoy the efforts of an energetic and enthusiastic group of Evergreeners.
"Evergreen South" moves
VANCOUVER PROGRAM STAGES OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY
The state's newest four-year college officially moves into one of Clark County's oldest
facilities this Sunday when President Dan Evans welcomes the public from 3 to 6 p.m. to
newly renovated headquarters for Evergreen's Vancouver Outreach Program. Located on East
Evergreen Boulevard, a street named long before TESC-Vancouver opened two years ago, the
new collegiate headquarters are part of Fort Vancouver's old officer's row. The two-story
duplex, officially listed in the National Historic Register, was carefully renovated over
the past two months to both meet the needs of local students attending Evergreen-Vancouver
and to preserve the historic integrity of the handsome structure.
Hosting Sunday's open house along with former Washington governor Evans will be his
wife, Nancy, who as the state's first lady led successful efforts to restore the Governor's
Mansion; and nine members of the Vancouver Advisory Board, including Ellis Dunn, Mrs. Paul
Dygert, Larry Hpbbs, John Lee, Ron Morrison, Deajn Hosier, S_ue Mulligan, George Peekman and
Sally Peterson. Also on hand for the afternoon event will be Evergreen-Vancouver faculty
and staff members, including Dr. Lowell "Duke" Kuehn, who coordinated the first outreach
program begun in September, 1976 and based at Clark College. Offering upper division studies
in human services, that program graduated eight Clark County residents its first year and an
additional 54 students last June.
This fall Evergreen-Vancouver is coordinated by faculty member Dr. Lin Foa, and has
enrolled 45 juniors and seniors in its interdisciplinary Community Studies program, which
still holds large group meetings on the readily growing Clark College. Clark's growth,
coupled with Evergreen-Vancouver's desire for a separate identity and campus led Dr. Foa
-2-
to direct a search for a new Evergreen home last year. With the help of advisory board
member John Lee, director of Barnes Veterans Medical Center, Dr. Foa checked into the possibility of using an officer's row house for the new headquarters. Several students joined
in her efforts and compiled a report which was submitted last spring to the Veterans Administration, Vancouver's City Council and Community Development staff, and Evergreen's fivemember Board of Trustees.
Members of the Vancouver advisory board joined in the effort, aided by Clark College
personnel, and this fall classes began in temporary headquarters at 718 East Evergreen
Boulevard.
But, come Sunday afternoon, those temporary quarters will be deserted as TESC-Vancouver
moves east three houses into new faculty and staff offices, a student lounge, and a large
seminar room renovated following designs approved by the Washington State Commission for
Historic Preservation with funds provided by TESC's home campus in Olympia.
Evergreen-Vancouver holds a renewable three-year lease on its new home, which will
continue as headquarters for the Community Studies program through next year, and will
add an additonal two-year academic program in Management and the Public Interest beginning
in September.
TRUSTEES TO REVIEW TUITION SCHEDULE, STRIKE POLICY
Evergreen's Board of Trustees meets Thursday, December 14, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in
Library 3114 to consider proposed changes to the college's tuition and fee schedule, a new
draft of the college's Strike Policy, and acceptance of final work on the Communications
Building. Trustees are also expected Thursday to receive an update from President Dan
Evans on the December 12 meeting of the Council on Postsecondary Education, which will
consider a staff report drafted on Evergreen and released for study last week.
Tuition proposals call for three changes: eliminating out-of-state tuition rates for
Summer Quarter; creating a special rate for training courses Evergreen might offer for
credit through the State's Division of Human Resource Development; and approving a waiver
of tuition and fees for persons 60 years of age or more. Consideration of reduction of
Summer Quarter fees would bring Evergreen into line with the other state four-year institutions which do not charge the higher out-of-state tuition for summer sessions.
The Strike Policy, first passed 18 months ago, has since been reviewed by a disappearing task force that offered recommendations to the board last month. Trustees then asked
Assistant Attorney General Richard Montecucco to review the DTF's recommendations and bring
his draft back to them. Montecucco delivered his recommendations for study earlier this
week and will review them with trustees Thursday.
Trustees will also be asked to formally accept the Communications Building, a sixmillion-dollar structure built by Jones and Robert of Olympia. The three-story building,
which houses more than 84,000 square feet, was designed by Walker, McGough, Foltz and
Lyerla Architects and Engineers of Spokane and opened officially last spring.
The Thursday session is open to the public.
SKI SCHOOL REGISTRATION OPENS
Registrations are now being accepted for Evergreen's Ski School which plans to hit the
slopes beginning Sunday, January 7 and Wednesday, January 10. The classes, which include
seven two-hour lessons and eight charter bus trips to Crystal Mountain near Mount Rainier,
begin with an orientation meeting for both Sunday and Wednesday skiers January 3, from 7
to 8:30 p.m. in room 110 of the College Activities Building.
Directed by former Evergreen recreation leader Ed King, the Ski School relies on the
American Teaching Method, and all instructors are trained and supervised by certified professionals from the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association.
Chartered bus transportation is provided Sundays leaving from the campus at 5:30 a.m.
or South Sound Center at 6 a.m.; Wednesdays the ski bus leaves Evergreen at 6:30 a.m. and
—3—
South Sound at 7 a.m. Cost for the entire package is $95 for the general public; $90
for Evergreen students. The ski school itself, without transportation, is $45 for the
general public or $40 for TESC students. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by
an adult.
Complete information on the Evergreen Ski School, for which registration closes on
December 31, is available by calling Evergreen's Recreation Center, 866-6530.
GEODUCK VOLLEYBALLERS TAKE FIRST PLACE
The Geoducks seven-man A-team volleyball squad walked away with a first place regional
trophy Saturday at the Second Annual YMCA Invitational Meet in Tacoma. The event, which
convened nine teams from around the state, was the first U.S. Volleyball Association competition this season, according to Geoduck team captain Mark Schmidt.
The first place victory was underscored by a 14-win-2-loss season for the Geoducks.
The Evergreeners topped the University of Washington's junior varsity, University of Puget
Sound and six community clubs from Wenatchee, Bellingham, Tacoma and Seattle in taking firstplace honors.
"The victory," claims Schmidt, "puts Evergreen on the volleyball map — it was a fine
day for Evergreen and for Olympia."
The victorious Geoducks include Schmidt, an alum; Greg Moo, alum and Computer Services
staff member, Treg Bradley and Scott Cubberly, both alums; Dave Crosby, student; and Jerry
Aeschlimann and Kevin Armstrong, Olympia community members.
Volleyball in the Olympia area has expanded from a single team, the Geoducks, one year
ago to five at the present time. Two all-women's and three men's (two of them at Evergreen)
squads comprise the five teams. In addition to the A-team which took the trophy on Saturday,
the Geoducks also field an all-student B-team coached by Schmidt. In U.S. Volleyball
Association ratings, there is only the AA-team category yet to achieve before a team is
eligible to compete for the Olympics.
The Geoduck's trophy is on display on the main floor of the College Recreation Building.
Persons interested in local volleyball may contact Schmidt at 491-3092 for more information
and schedules for up-coming practices. He can also be reached through the Recreation Office,
CRC 302, 866-6530.

"represents an endorsement"
EVANS RESPONDS TO CPE RECOMMENDATIONS
By:
Judy Annis, Director of Information Services
President Dan Evans Wednesday called a study on Evergreen released this week by the
Council of Post Secondary Education a "good report...one that represents an endorsement
of what Evergreen has achieved" and asked the help of legislators, educators, media and
the public to help the college improve the perceptions high school students and other potential Evergreen enrollees have of the college and its program. In a well attended morning
press conference, the President offered his "first analysis" of the report which, he pointed
out, amounts to a staff study that will not become official until after the CPE itself
formally reviews and approves improbably at its December 12 meeting.
The report, which has already been analyzed by news media throughout the state, is,
Evans believes, a comprehensive examination of Evergreen (so comprehensive that few persons have read it). (To ensure Evergreeners have at least the precise recommendations at
hand, the Newsletter offers those in brief on page 3. The entire 230-page document is being
reprinted for distribution on campus as soon as possible.) The President had obviously
read the document thoroughly when he met reporters Wednesday and he offered them a breakdown of the recommendations into three categories: those Evergreen is already working on;
those that ask the college to begin new directions, and that Evans says we will immediately
begin to analyze; and those which "at least preliminarily we may have difficulty in agreeing
with "
12 ALREADY UNDERWAY
Twelve of the 20 recommendations, Evans told reporters, are already being implemented
with enthusiasm. Among those, he said, were suggestions to expand the academic advising
system, to develop a master's degree program, and to cooperate with other institutions to
provide some teacher education programs on campus.
Five recommendations call for Evergreen to seek new directions. Evans said college
officials "will begin to analyze these immediately." Those include expanding degree programs to include a Bachelor of Science degree, developing more clear pathways to careers
for new and potential students; and simplifying the college transcript.
Evans found only three main areas where he felt Evergreen may have some difficulty:
enrollment goals, program evaluation and approval by other institutions, and increasing
class size. The enrollment goals, in which CPE requires the college to increase its student
count by 93 percent in the next four years, were, Evans felt "too optimistic, especially
for the first biennium." CPE reported that Evergreen can reach "cost parity with the three
regional universities with an enrollment level of approximately 4,250 full-time equivalent
students," which the college has the physical facilities to accommodate. To reach that
goal, CPE suggested target enrollment of 2,700 FTE by 1980-81 and 3,500 FTE by 1982-83.
CPE recommends the college be granted "four years of breathing space" in which to achieve
those goals, but the second two years of that period would be "conditioned on evidence of
progress during the first."
TROUBLE WITH #19 AND #7
Evans also said the college would expect some difficulty meeting recommendation 19
that requires "proposals for new program areas...to first be circulated among the other
public four-year institutions for their review and comment." He believes it would be difficult to be ascertain "at what levels changed programs become new ones" and questioned
-2whether faculty at other institutions would be qualified to examine and evaluate interdisciplinary programs with which they may have had little experience.
But the President's strongest suggestions were reserved for recommendation number 7S f
which calls for, among other things, "utilization of large class sections to help offset
costs associated with smaller classes." He pointed out that Evergreen's direct eductional
costs per student were at par with other colleges and that "Our decision to maintain small
classes is an important element" for which he said, he "may have to fight."
In response to reporters' questions, Evans expressed confidence that the college faculty and students can adapt to whatever changes the report may lead to, but he emphasized
that the study "is no call for fundamental change in our direction." In contrast, Evans
said, the report "represents an endorsement that what we have achieved is valid." Our faculty, he added, is recognized nationally as an exceptionally good one that "is capable of
doing whatever must be done." But, he said, "the faculty would be terribly disappointed
to have to abandon a successful and good style of education," which CPE's report does not
ask them to consider.
Will Evergreen students be "willing to go along with" CPE's report, one reporter asked.
"A good share of the recommendations are ones which students will applaud," Evans answered,
including calls for a master's program, teacher education and improved advising. He admitted he didn't know what they felt about the recommendation (number 17) for intercollegiate
athletics, adding that he felt that was not one of the "top ten" among the recommendations.
"Would you like to see the Geoducks in the Rosebowl," he was asked. "Not playing football,"
Evans declared.
Asked if legislators worded the study authorization to "force Evergreen to do things
like everybody else does," Evans declared he "can't believe legislators had that in mind."
"You won't find anyone who would admit to prejudging a study and then spending $25,000 of
taxpayers' money to conduct one," he said. "Legislators asked for an objective study and
they got it."
EVANS TRANSLATES STUDY TO GRADES
In response to questions about the Council for Postsecondary Education's
study on Evergreen, President Dan Evans offered to translate the report —
which he called a "sophisticated evaluation" similar to the Evergreen evaluations — into grades.
A
- in terms of experience as a national, innovative institution.
B to B
- for the successes of our graduates and the views their employers
have of their work.
C (but climbing to a B) - for service to Southwest Washington.
- for image in local community.
D or D
- image in the national market.
B
If you assume each grade carries the same number of credit hours (say four)
our grade point average ranges from 3.32 to 3.57. We almost made the Deans^
list and we're only seven years oldl
PROVOST APPLICATIONS DUE DECEMBER 15
President Dan Evans this week issued a special invitation to campus faculty to submit applications before December 15 for the position of Vice-President for Academic Affairs/
Provost. In a letter to faculty, the president asked interested applicants to submit to ,
him a statement of their educational philosophy, their resume and three letters of recom- Y
mendation by the end of the quarter. Evans also noted in his faculty letter that Acting
Provost Byron Youtz has decided to apply for the permanent position, which the president
hopes to fill before the legislative session gets underway next month.
Advertisements for the position were sent to the Chronicle for Higher Education and
the Affirmative Action Register last month and Evans said the search for a permanent provost
would examine both internal and external candidates. The provost search has also been
discussed in faculty/dean meetings since Fall Quarter began.

CPE'S RECOMMENDATIONS REPORTED IN FULL
The Council of Post Secondary Education Wednesday released its long-awaited report on
Evergreen. The report, ordered by the;-last session of the legislature, is a preliminary
draft by the CPE's staff and will be considered for formal action by the council on December
12. Because interpretations of the report have already hit the presses
and because
complete copies of the 230-page document are not yet available for all Evergreeners, the
Newsletter offers below all 20 recommendations in brief, and advises Evergreeners to obtain
the full report and complete their own analysis before reacting to external critiques of
this comprehensive, thorough, and tough-minded study.
1. "It is recommended that the 1979-81 and 1981-83 biennia be dedicated to an opportunity for Evergreen, through an institution-wide effort, to increase its enrollment level
and reduce its unit costs by making adjustments in its educational concept and attracting
students. Target enrollments of 2,700 FTE students by 1980-81 and 3,500 FTE students by
1982-83 are suggested. It also is recommended that during this period Evergreen continue
to be funded at Instruction, Student Services, and Physical Plant formula levels comparable
to those applied to its sister institutions. Other support program expense should be maintained at current expenditure levels, adjusted only for inflation. It is further recommended that during this period Evergreen prepare and present annual progress reports to the
Council each November, and that the Council convey these reports with its comments to the
Legislature and Governor not later than the following January.
2. "Support for the establishment of master's level studies at Evergreen is reaffirmed.
However, it is recommended that in developing its graduate studies program, Evergreen pay
particular attention to the educational needs of persons associated with state government
in Olympia, especially their needs for the types of certification that specific degree programs and that the institution adopt curricular structures for its graduate programs consistent with forms recognized and accepted in the relevant professions."
3. "Evergreen and the Department of Personnel, along with other appropriate governmental authorities, should be encouraged to continue their study of the feasibility of
transferring the interagency training function to the College. If these efforts conclude
that such a transfer is feasible, it is further recommended that the transfer occur."
4. "It is recommended that Evergreen, in conjunction with its graduate studies efforts
and its State personnel training activities, develop and offer credit-bearing courses in
the evenings especially related to the educational needs of professionals working in the
Olympia area. Such courses should also be open to on-campus students."
5. "It is recommended to the Board of Trustees at Evergreen that it consider expanding the College's degree-awarding range to encompass the Bachelor of Science degree.
6. "It is recommended that Evergreen study the feasibility of an inter-institutional
agreement with one or more institutions in its service region that could lead to the conjoint provision of programs in teacher education on-campus.
7. "It is recommended that Evergreen seek ways of reducing the costs associated with
its support levels. Inter-institutional resource sharing arrangements, utilization of
large class sections to help offset costs associated with smaller classes, and continued
review of its administrative overhead and support program priorities within a context of
zero 'real dollar' growth should be seriously considered."
8. "It is recommended that Evergreen reconsider the need for its supplementary application form as part of a larger review of its student admissions program. In doing so it
should consider other means for determining whether students possess basic skills, including the announcement that it will test new students for possible placement in basic skills
courses. Evergreen should make all possible attempts to accept all applicants meeting
stated entrance qualifications."
9. "It is recommended to the Board of Trustees at Evergreen that career pathways in
the College's curriculum be clearly identified and that student and employer needs for
additional pathways be identified and the curriculum augmented accordingly. In considering
this question, the Board is encouraged to take into account the certification requirements
that accompany job offerings in the various career fields, requirements that must be met
before graduates will be considered eligible.
-410. "It is recommended to the Board of Trustees that ways be sought within the
College to institute greater structure and predictability in the curriculum, including
the offering of course options in the day program. It is also recommended that consid- /
eration be given to additional requirements for an Evergreen degree. Requirements that
would ensure student participation in a variety of study forms and a demonstration of
educational growth by the senior year are also recommended for consideration by the Board."
11. "It is recommended to the Board of Trustees at Evergreen that consideration be
extended to the provision of first-year requirements for entering students in the form of
basic coordinated studies programs and courses directed to preparation in the basic skills
areas and in the Humanities, and the Natural and Social Sciences, and to facilitating the
transition of students into the institution's programs."
12. It is recommended to the Board of Trustees that it reexamine the procedures by
which students are awarded internships or authorized to pursue independent study to assure
that procedures exist whereby these students are ready to undertake such forms and that the
faculty assigned as sponsors are qualified to do so."
13. "It is recommended to the Board of Trustees at Evergreen that it reexamine the
evaluation system with a goal to simplifying the student transcripts so that they may be
more readily reviewed and comprehended by persons not associated with the College."
14. "It is recommended that Evergreen reexamine its student advising program with
the goal of developing an advising and career counseling system that supports all students'
efforts to identify courses and programs which can fulfill their personal and professional
objectives at the College."
15. "It is recommended that Evergreen mount an extraordinary and sustained effort to
inform students, counselors and others in the high schools of its program to seek to counteract the negative perceptions of the College held by many of these persons."
16. "It is recommended that Evergreen make a sustained effort to meet the needs of
students in the community colleges of western and southwestern Washington and to communicate
to those students what it offers. Like the other effort, it should be an institution-widf
endeavor, involving Evergreen students meeting with community college students, and Ever-'
green faculty consulting with the faculty of those institutions on the Evergreen programs
and ways in which the various institutional efforts can coordinate."
17. "It is recommended that Evergreen study the desirability and feasibility of
engaging in a limited range of intercollegiate athletics as one means of expanding its
appeal to graduating high school seniors and enhancing its relations with the Olympia community."
18. "It is recommended that Evergreen consider ways in which it can address the expressed concerns of students at the College for places and events on campus for purposes of
socializing. This appears to be an especially pressing need as a means of release for
students from the pressures of the College's educational program."
19. "The Council should modify its new degree program review procedures to accommodate
the review of new program areas at Evergreen. As part of this review process, proposals
for new program areas at that institution will first be circulated among the other public
four-year institutions for their review and comment."
20. "It is recommended that Evergreen study the possibility of offering off-campus
programs in the Longview, Aberdeen/Hoquiam, and Port Angeles areas, and, upon determination
of the need and feasibility of such endeavors, that it proceed to develop and offer offcampus programs in these cities."
VETERANS DECISION MAY BE ANNOUNCED TODAY
Judge Walter McGovern of Western Washington District Court is expected today (December
1) to render a decision on Evergreen's suit against the Veteran's Administration. The
college began legal action last fall when the VA sought to enforce a rule denying full
(
benefits to Evergreen veteran students who don't spend 12 hours or more a week "in class."
In federal court action last February, Judge McGovern granted the college a temporary injunction against enforcement of the VA rule.
Since that injunction, Evergreen has been joined in the suit by Centralia, Yakima,
Wenatchee and Fort Steilacoom Community Colleges. The decision today could apply to VA
enforcement of regulations at all five institutions.
-5ACADEMIC FAIRS DECEMBER 6, JANUARY 3
Evergreen will hold Academic Fairs for Winter Quarter registration on Wednesday,
December 6 and Wednesday, January 3, from 1-3:30 p.m. for full-time students and 5:30-7 p.m.

1979-80 PROGRAMS ANNOUNCED, SUPPLEMENT ON THE WAY
Copy for the 1979-80 Catalog Supplement has gone into typesetting and will arrive in
print by early January to help next year's students plan their studies. The Supplement
outlines "a good variety of programs in both basic and advanced-level studies," according
to Assistant Academic Dean Jeanne Hahn, who coordinated the information gathering for that
publication. In all, Evergreeners will be able to choose from 60 full-time interdisciplinary programs, in addition to dozens of individual courses yet to be announced. And,
Hahn reminds us, there may even be additional full-time offerings added to those listed in
the Supplement, if money and faculty hiring are approved in the months ahead. Here's a
sneak preview of the programs described in Supplement.
Nine "Basic Programs," which include the continuing "Ajax Compact," and new additions
like "Race Politics in the Third World," "Form and Content: The Arts of the Nineteenth
Century," and "Life and Health," represent the spectrum of arts, humanities, natural and
social sciences.
"Teaching in the Twentieth Century: The Construction of a New Reality," will be one
of six "Annual Programs." This full-year Coordinated Studies program will examine critical
theories of the past century — as formed by Darwin, Marx and Freud — then compare the
ways that these theories interface with actual and potential educational systems. Dr. Don
Finkel, faculty member in psychology> will coordinate the program, which is designed for
those with career goals in education but does not lead to a teaching certificate.
In addition, 42 offerings in "Interdisciplinary Specialties," represent both new and
continuing programs. Students can still expect to find favorites like "Management in the
Public Interest," as well as new offerings like the regionally relevant "Fishes and Fishing
in Puget Sound" and the always timely "Macroeconomic Theory and the Problem of Inflation."
"Energy Systems: Conventional and Alternative," "Introduction to Political Economy" and
"Introduction to Natural Science" will also return for those who want special focus in
these areas.
As always, next year's students may also consider independent study by means of Evergreen's "Individual Learning Contract" or may want to explore with faculty or Academic
Advising Staff how an internship or independent research project would fit into their degree
work.
The 1979-80 Catalog Supplement may be picked up from the Registrar's Office, Library
1101 in early January. Questions, in the meantime, may be forwarded to Dr. Hahn, Library
2220, 866-6521.
-6ISRAEL STUDY MEETING DECEMBER
Studies in Israel will be offered Summer Quarter at Evergreen by Dr. Ted
Gerstl. His two-month summer study program will be the topic of an information meeting Monday, December 11, beginning at 7 p.m. in the 1600 lounge of
the Library. Dr. Gerstl, an Evergreen faculty member in organizational psychology who has twice visited Israel in the past three years, says the Monday
evening meeting is designed to discuss plans for the credit-generating study
and to explore with potential students the aspects of Israel they're most interested in examining.
Summer Quarter classes begin June 18 and Dr. Gerstl says his group will
leave campus by the end of June and return to Olympia the first week of September.
Much of the two-month study will be spent on an Israeli kibbutz, like the
agricultural cooperatives where Dr. Gerstl and 15 Evergreen students spent six
weeks living and studying in 1976. Time will also be alloted for tours of
Israel to such areas as the Sinai and Negev Deserts, Jerusalem and Galilee.
The program, which is being coordinated through the American Zionist
Youth Foundation in Los Angeles, requires no foreign language skills. Total
cost, Dr. Gerstl estimates, will amount to about $1,200, in addition to Evergreen tuition ($206 for full-time students who are Washington State residents).
Part-time study opportunities for shorter duration may also be available.
Persons interested in enrolling in the "Summer Study in Israel" program but
who are unable to attend the December 11 meeting are invited to contact Dr.
Gerstl at Evergreen (866-6702) or at his home (357-4999),

INTERNATIONALLY RENOWN PIANIST PLAYS HERE DECEMBER 12
Bela Siki, an artist internationally recognized as "one of the world's leading
pianists," closes the Fall Quarter Tuesdays at Eight series at Evergreen with a classical
recital Tuesday, December 12. Siki, acclaimed throughout Europe, Africa, South America,
Australia and the Far East as "an artist whose technical mastery of piano is awesome,"
performs at 8 p.m. December 12 in the Recital Hall.
The Hungarian born pianist, now based at che University of Washington, began his
career as a professor at the Budapest Conservatory when he was 23 years old. In 1947
he moved to Switzerland to study with pianist Dinu Lipatti and later to assume Lipatti's
post at the Geneva Conservatory. Three years later he decided to devote full-time to his
concert career, performing with major orchestras of Europe and other continents. In 1965,
he moved to Seattle to join the music department at the U. of W. Since then, he has continued to teach, record and appear as a concert artist whose performances, according to
the Melbourne Australia Sun, are "of a quality...hardest to attain...seldom heard anywhere."
Siki, whose Evergreen appearance is cosponsored by Patrons of South Sound Cultural
Arts (POSSCA) concludes the Fall Quarter Tuesdays at Eight series at Evergreen. Admission
to his December 12 concert is $2.50 for students; $5 for others. Advance reservations may
be made by calling the Office of College Relations, 866-6128 weekdays.
ELECTRONIC MUSIC CONCERT TONIGHT
Student musicians and composers studying in Dr. Greg Steinke's Electronic Music Studies
program will present a "Celebration of Winter" tonight (December 1) at 8 o'clock, in the /
Communications Building's Recital Hall. Coordinated by Peter Randlett, student and lab V
technician for the program, the 90-minute Celebration will blend poetry recitations, artistic slide/tape projections and original musical compositions for the electronic synthesizer.
Randlett describes the event as a "multi-media performance" that will be underscored by
-7liv.e synthetic music in the form of guitars and drums.
The year-long Electronic Music program includes eight students with advanced skills
in music performance and composition; the Friday evening performance will enact a portion
of their academic efforts this quarter. The cost for students, senior citizens and children is $1, and for all others, $1.25.
THREE PLAYS OPEN THIS WEEKEND
Two comedies and a mystery come to the stage of Evergreen's Experimental Theater for
six productions beginning this weekend. The three one-act plays, which open here tonight,
are entirely student produced, directed and performed. They begin each evening at 8
o'clock with George S. Kaufman's comedy, "If Men Played Cards As Women Do," a tale of malefemale role reversals. A drama of murder and revenge, written by George W. Cronyn and
entitled "A Death In Fever Flats" offers theatergoers a change of pace, followed by the
closing show, "A Good Woman," a comedy on misguided love by Arnold Bennet.
The Evergreen productions, directed by student Paul Bpwyer, will be staged December
1, 2 and 3 and again on December 8, 9 and 10, all in the Experimental Theater. Tickets —
at $2 general or $1 for students and senior citizens — are on sale now at the Bookstore.
SOULES SHARE GALAPAGOS TRIP TUESDAY
The exotic, famous world of the Galapagos Islands comes to Olympia Tuesday, December 5
when Dr. and Mrs. Oscar Soule share views of their recent study/vacation in the Tuesdays at
Eight concert/lecture series. The slide/talk, set to begin at 8 p.m. in Lecture Hall One,
takes viewers to nine of the Latin American Islands as part of a two-week excursion sponsored last summer by the Saint Louis Zoo. Dr. Soule, an Evergreen faculty biologist, served
as a resource person on animal energy systems on that voyage, which also attracted curators
of birds, reptiles and tropical plants.
The Galapagos Islands, part of the nation of Ecuador and situated on the Equator, are
celebrated not only for their rare and beautiful animal and plant varieties, but for the
renowned work performed there by Dr. Charles Darwin in the nineteenth century which led to
his monumental study, the Origin of Species.
The Soules' presentation will feature up-close looks at the Galapagos finches, one of
the species which played a key role in Darwin's conclusions, as well as other animals and
plants native to the area, and aspects of the Islands' geology. A surprise for many, the
Soules note, will be in the wide range of arctic to tropical species which inhabit the
Galapagos and in the ways they have adapted to their surroundings over the centuries.
In addition, the visual and narrated journey to the southern hemisphere will wind
through the colorful markets of Ecuador and into the source regions for the Amazon River.
Admission to the Soules' presentation is $1.
RUNNERS COMPETE TOMORROW
Thurston County area runners will have a chance to test their endurance tomorrow,
December 2, when the Evergreen Running Club sponsors a 7.6-mile road run around the Cooper
Point campus. The run, which begins at 11 a.m. in front of the Library, carries a 50-cent
registration fee to cover the costs of awards. Best time recorded for a male runner for
the Evergreen event is 41 minutes and 13 seconds, set by Olympia runner Larry Nielson
last spring; while the best time run by a woman competitor is 55 minutes flat, set by Mary
Beth Felix of Olympia Technical Community College last December.
WEYCO'S NISQUALLY PROPOSAL TOPIC OF MEETINGS
Representatives of the Nisqually Delta Association and the Black Hills Audubon Society
will combine efforts with Evergreen biologists who have conducted studies of the delta for
two free public discussions and slide presentations Thursday, December 7 at noon and 7 p.m.
in Lecture Hall Three.
The program, sponsored by the Evergreen Environmental Resource Center, will focus on
-8proposed development of an expert facility by the Weyerhaeuser Company on the delta.
A question and answer session will also ::& staged at both programs to encourage persons
to fully explore the complex issues relating to development on the delta and its potential impact on southern Puget Sound. Additional information on both programs is availabl
through the Environmental Resource Center, 866-6784.
SAINT MARTINS/EVERGREEN STAGE MUSICAL EVENING DECEMBER 8
Singers, instrumentalists, and dancers from Thurston County's two four-year colleges
will combine forces Friday, December 8 to present "A Concert of Medieval and Renaissance
Music," beginning at 8:30 p.m. in the Recital Hall. The evening program, designed by TESC
faculty musician Dr. Robert Gottlieb, will illustrate successive stages of musical development from early polyphony through the high renaissance, spanning a time period from the
beginning of the ninth century to 1570.
Featured in next Friday's concert will be three vocal groups, including the Evergreen
Choral Ensemble, directed by Visiting Faculty Member Joan Winden, and Saint Martin's Schola
Cantorum and Vocal Consort, both under the direction of Brother Aelred Woodard, O.S.B.
Instrumental ensembles will also lend their talents on such instruments as recorders, viols,
Irish harps, racketts, sackbutt, drums, harpsichord and Krummhorns; and dancers will present
choreography representative of the medieval and renaissance periods.
Slides will accompany musical selections to provide historically relevant background.
Views of Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals will be shown simultaneously with music from
those periods; castle scenes will accompany performances of Trouveses songs; and hunting
scenes will set the stage for a fourteenth century French "Chace" to be performed by Evergreen faculty Member Dr. Charles Pailthorp and Brother Elias Lien, O.S. B., of Saint
Mar"in's
In addition, battle scenes x^ill accompany the "Agincourt" song of victory, and
slides, of late fifteenth century Flemish miniatures will set the scene for music of Flemish
composers.

produced by two Evergreen academic groups, Design in Music and Arts in Social Perspective,
and by Saint Martin's College. General admission is $2; $1 for students.
EVERGREEHERS IN THE NEWS
Evergreen Faculty Member (and former Provost) Ed Kormondy sends news of a recent
"Evergreen takeover" in Washington, D.C. Kormondy, on leave to study at Georgetown University, says he and his wife Peggy recently conducted a "rump meeting" of Evergreen faculty,
staff ''.nd students to "plot the overthrow of something." But, Kormondy notes, "in typical
Evergreen fashion we couldn't decide what to overthrow, let alone when." So the group,
which claims not to have discussed Evergreen once, had a "terrific evening." Participants
included Faculty Members Linda Kahan, currently on leave with the National Science Foundation; J$etty_ Kutter, traveling with a lecture program for the American Association for the
Advancement of Science; and Sig Kutter, studying at Goddard Space Center; plus former Faculty Members Francita Lampert Agostino and Carol Spence, working with the National Institute
of Mental Health. Also participating were former Evergreener Steve Ehrman, now with the
Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education and alum Ellen Mo sher.
Faculty Member Leo Daugherty last month visited Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin
to serve as the evaluator of progress-to-date in the college's three-year curriculumsupport grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The privately funded, until
recently traditional liberal arts college has sought to establish a more interdisciplinary
curriculum for its 650 students. The NEH grant was awarded to support planning and operation of these additions to Northland's program. Daugherty, who will offer a final written
report of his study early next year, says the thrust of Northland's effort is toward inte-^
grating hiimanistic and environmental concerns.
Evargreen Faculty Member in dance Peter Geiler has been elected to the board of
board of directors of the Northwest Family Training Institute, a Puget Sound affiliation
of mental health professionals.
