three awards to Greeners
MAXWELL WINS DANFORTH
Reginald Maxwell, a Tacoma Marine Corps veteran, has become Evergreen's second
graduate to win the prestigious Danforth Graduate Fellowship. Maxwell, who completed his
degree Fall Quarter, 1978, is one of only three persons in the State of Washington this
year to win tuition and fees paid to the graduate school of his choice for up to four
years, plus an annual stipend of up to $2,500.
More than 2200 persons this year applied from colleges and universities throughout
the United States for the awards, which are designed to help students who are committed
both to completing their doctorate and to careers in college or university teaching at an
undergraduate level. Some 480 of the 2200 were interviewed and from them 100 finalists
have been selected who have achieved an academic record of excellence and have demonstrated
promise for future strength in their professional field, as well as a commitment to obtaining
a well rounded, humane education.
Maxwell, who currently works as a counselor at the OK Boys Ranch in Olympia, attended
Laughbon High School in Dupont until the tenth grade. He then enrolled in a special program
at Fort Steilacoom Community College which enabled him to complete both his high school
diploma and his Associate of Arts degrees from FSCC. After completing a two-year
assignment in the Marine Corps, Maxwell enrolled at Evergreen in 1976 and completed his
bachelor's degree in literature and cultural history last fall.
The former Marine, who plans to attend Claremont College for his doctorate in English
literature, is the son of William and Gloria Maxwell of Lakewood, and is the second TESC
graduate to win the prestigious award in the past three years. Robert Shepard became
Evergreen's first Danforth recipient in 1977. Shepard also selected Claremont Graduate
School for his doctoral work.
BECK SELECTED FOR HUMANITIES SUMMER SEMINAR
Dr. Gordon Beck of Olympia is one of ten college and university professors from
throughout the United States selected to attend a Faculty Summer Seminar sponsored by the
National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in Venice, Italy. Dr. Beck, an Evergreen
faculty member in cinema arts and art history since the college opened in 1971, will study
"Paintings in Renaissance Venice" from June 18 through August 10, in a special art history
program sponsored by Columbia University and funded by NEH.
Taught by Dr. David Rosand, professor of art history and archaeology at Columbia,
the two-month summer seminar will be based at the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice and
will include examination of works by major Italian artists, including Gentile, Bellini,
Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese. In addition, the study will involve Dr. Beck
in intensive research on three historic paintings now located in Venice's Gallerie
dell'Accademia.
Dr. Beck, who has led Evergreen study tours to Europe for the past six summers,
leaves Olympia the first of May to direct a two-month study called "The Classical World"

COMMUNICATIONS BUILDING CITED FOR EXCELLENCE
Evergreen's Communications Laboratory Building has won the llth annual Grand
Award for excellence in the use of concrete from the Washington Aggregates and Concrete
Association. Award plaques honoring participants in the project, and those involved in
the projects named for special merit awards were presented at the association's annual
banquet, yesterday at the Washington Athletic Club in Seattle.
The Communications Building was designed by Walker/McGough/Foltz/Lyerla, a Spokane
architectural firm, which also served as structural engineer. Jones and Roberts Company,
Tacoma, was general contractor and Olympia Sand & Gravel Co. supplied the concrete.
Members of the professional jury praised the structure, calling it, "A professional
statement...a convincing and imaginative sculptural form in concrete, carried through to
the last architectural and engineering detail." Jury members included Don Winkelman of
N.B.B.J.; Victor 0. Gray of Victor 0. Gray & Co.; William Cranston of Kramer, Chin and
Mayo; and Relta Gray of Relta Gray and Associates.
Special merit awards also went to those who built the Pasco Kennewick Intercity
Bridge; Brier, Seaview and Meadowdale Hall at Edmonds Community College; and the
Viewland Hoffman Receiving Substation owned by the City of Seattle's Department of Lighting.

GEODOIKERS PLAY IN REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS SUNDAY
Evergreen's six-man volleyball squad, called the Geodoikers, plays Sunday in the
regional tournament set at Highline Community College. Coached by alum Mark Schmitt,
the men's squad last Sunday took second place in the "B" Division in a tournament also
sponsored by the U.S. Volleyball Association at HCC. Twelve teams competed last weekend
for the tournament title, which went to Pacific Lutheran University, who beat out Evergreen
in the final round. But the Geodoikers still qualified for the regional meet this Sunday,
which will see 15 teams from Oregon, Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana volley
for another championship.
The Evergreen team, says Schmitt, has "done incredibly well this season, especially
considering we don't have a regular place to practice." TESC spikers include students
Dave Crosby, Gil Crosby, Gregg Bennett, Michael Halperin, Ken Phillipson, Tom Erlichman and
Dave Hatfield and staffer Robert Kim. They'd welcome your enthusiastic support at Sunday's
tournament, which begins about 8 a.m. in the Highline pavilion.
SOCCER AND SWIMMING COACHES SOUGHT FOR FALL
Evergreen is formally seeking to hire its first three coaches for the new intercollegiate athletics program which begins Fall Quarter. Pete Steilberg, director of
recreation and campus activities, says the college is recruiting applicants for a men's
soccer coach, a woman's soccer coach and a coach willing to direct both men's and women's
swimming. All three positions are "seasonal contracts", carry a $1,000 salary, and have
an application deadline of Monday, May 14.
Complete information on the coaching jobs, which are open to Evergreeners as well as
off-campus applicants, may be obtained from the Personnel Office, 866-6361, Library 3238.
GUIDE TO WINNING SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED WEDNESDAY

(

Persons who want to attend college but think they can't afford to are invited to a
free 90-minute workshop on "The Art of Applying For and Winning Scholarships," offered
May 2, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in room 110 of the College Activities Building at Evergreen.
The free Wednesday evening session will focus on "how to prepare yourself for scholarship

- 3-

competition," according to workshop leader Maureen Pierre. "We'll explore ways to pursue
;applications, to present your positive side to the review teams who award grants, and to
make your applications stand out."
Pierre, a 1978 Evergreen graduate and mother of two, says she financed her entire
college education on scholarships and work study employment. "I couldn't afford to go any
other way," she says, "so I had to find out where the scholarships were and how to make
myself look like the right recipient."
Winner of scholarships from the National Business and Professional Women, Women in
Communications, Scripps-Howard Foundation, Fidelity Mutual Savings and National Press
Women, Pierre says she won every scholarship she applied for except one, for which she
came in as first runner up.
Pierre, who now works for the state's Council for Postsecondary Education, says she's
anxious to share "psychological tips" on how to apply for financial help. "It's important
for applicants to project a winning image because the scholarship committees will choose
to finance a potentially successful person," she advises.
The free evening program, sponsored by Evergreen's Office of Financial Aid, is open
to all persons interested in going to college
any four-year college, state or public.
Complete information on the Scholarship Workshop is available through Evergreen's
Financial Aid Office, 866-6205, weekdays during regular working hours.
FOUNDATION TO STAGE PHONE-A-THON, SEEKS VOLUNTEERS
The Evergreen Foundation will conduct its third annual nationwide phone-a-thon
the weeks of May 7 and 14 to raise funds for continued support of academic and cultural
events not financed by regular funding. Coordinated by Evergreen's Development office, the
phone-a-thon will raise funds for such projects as research in molecular biology, admissions
recruitment efforts, the Foundation Merit Scholarship Program, Career Planning and Placement
Job and Graduate School Information Days, and other campus activities.
Phone-a-thon '79 volunteers will call more than 3,500 parents of current students
and alums, and other friends of the college during the two-week fundraiser. Volunteers
will also answer questions about Evergreen and its events during their calling.
Persons with questions about the phone-a-thon or who would like to volunteer to
help with calling may contact Bonnie Marie or Russell Flemming, in the Development Office,
Library 3103, 866-6565.
ASIAN CONFERENCE SET JUNE 15 & 16
An estimated 200 college and university teachers from five states and one Canadian
province will share research and scholarship on modern Asia June 15 and 16 when they
attend a two-day conference of Asian Studies on the Pacific Coast at The Evergreen State
College. Chaired this year by Paul Marsh, an Evergreen faculty member in Asian studies and
international relations, the conference is one of eight regional meetings of the national
Association for Asian Studies and features 29 panel discussions on a variety of scholarship
topics dealing with Asian history, politics, religion, languages, literature and art.
Graduate students, librarians, and university professors from Alaksa, British
rK
Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii are expected to divide their time anong
six sessions, three each on Friday and Saturday, covering such topics as "Secluded Scholars:
the Education of Muslim Women in South Asia," "Local Government in Republican China," "The
Vietnamese-China Border War," "Economic Development in Asia," and "Teaching Asian Thought
to American Undergraduates."
The sessions, says Marsh, "are offered as a means of sharing research on current
issues and analyzing ancient thoughts, not only with professors who will carry it back to
their colleges, but with interested graduate students and others concerned about modern Asia.
Helping Marsh with arrangments for the two-day session at TESC are two fellow
Evergreen professors: Dr. Robert Gottlieb, who will present a paper on Indian Tabla Drumming
and chair a panel discussion on "Indian Music, Poetry and Thought;" and Carie Cable, a
member of the program committee and founder of Kyodai, a consultant firm created to help
American businesses improve their dealings with the Japanese.

STUDENT CAST NAMED FOR "THE SEAGULL"
/

A twelve-student cast will present Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull" at The
Evergreen State College next month, director Ainara Wilder has announced. The play will
run May 17-20 and May 24-27 at 8 p.m. in the Experimental Theater of the Communications
Building.
Described by Ms. Wilder as "a rare and beautiful classic," "The Seagull" will
feature Amy Fowkes as Irina Arkadin, Tim Streeter as Constantine Treplev, Mary Schickling
as Nina Zarechny, and Robert (Ted) Roisum as Boris Trigorin.
Other Evergreen students in the cast include David Raddatz as Peter Sorin, Becky
MeAninch as Masha, Ruthe Reed as Polina, Joe Rice as Eugene Dorn, Ed Kaye as Shamrayev,
David Tinny as Simon Medvedenko, James Bass as Jacob, and Richard Lewis as Butler.
Kevin Porter and Peter Waldron are set designers for the production; Glenn Horton
is light designer. Costumes are by Jean Elliot, Alyseum Lamb, and Didi Mitchel. Jo Charras
is stage manager.
"The Seagull" is a story of the theater, of actors and writers, of art itself,"
director Wilder explains. "Chekhov, considered by many to be a Russian Hamlet, focuses
his skill to create an absorbing, intricate mosaic of characters struggling with themselves
and each other for love and meaning in their lives. The story is played out against an
elegant country estate, a haunted, faded photograph of a society of lost Russian grandeur."
Tickets for "The Seagull" are available at $3 general admission or $1.50 students
and senior citizens at Yenney's Music in Olympia, at the Evergreen Bookstore, or at the
door.
EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
Academic Dean Will Humphreys has been named chairman of the advisory board for

- 6Youth Employment Services (YES) of Olympia. The organization, sponsored by Employment
Security and the Senior Center's R.S.V.P. program, seeks to provide employment (full-time,
temporary or part-time) for youths between 18 and 23 years of age.
f
Evergreen alum Adele Hansen has been hired by Western Washington University as an
alcohol consultant, charged with helping educate students about alcoholism. "In this
country we program our kids to be drunks," says Hanson. Her job at Western is to help
students learn how to watch for their own behavioral changes and to work toward "responsible
drinking." Hansen studied counseling and development at Evergreen. Three years ago she
began working in Olympia with teenage alcoholics and their parents, and she later went on
to design and implement the Youth Substance Awareness Program within the Community Alcohol
Center in Thurston County.
Faculty Member Lovern King reports that a crew of Evergreen Native Americans,
including students from the Symbolization program and alums, are attending the Indian
World's Fair in Phoenix, Arizona this week. They are recording activities on color video
and colored slides. King, who is attending the fair with students, says she'll participate
in the National Indian Media Conference set in Phoenix this week, too. King also reports
she has published an article on "The Effective Use of Television in Adult Education,"
which appears in the March, 1979 issue of "Lifelong Learning: The Adult Years."
December graduate Sean McLin, reports he has begun teaching in the "Talented and
Gifted Program" at James Sales Elementary School in the Franklin Pierce School District
near Tacoma. McLin, who studied film at Evergreen, is working with 10 elementary youngsters
through June 8 and is filming his efforts. Though he completed his degree Fall Quarter,
he plans to return to campus June 3 for commencement.
And, two Evergreen students will present papers at the sixth annual Sociology/
Anthropology undergraduate research conference to be held at the University of Santa Clara
tomorrow. Patti Heinis will present "Language of Loggers", a socio-linguistic analysis
of terms, cliches, and special vocabulary used by workers on a logging site near Shelton.
Debby Taylor will read "Literary Reactions to the Notion of Progress in the U.S. Nineteen^1
Century". Debby's paper describes how such changes as industrialization and urbanization'
were perceived in the romantic literature of such writers as Ralph Waldo Emerson and
Henry Thoreau. The two papers came out of research conducted while Pattie and Debby were
enrolled in "The Novel Experience," taught by Faculty Members Sandra Simon and Eric Larson.
Both papers seek to explore the connections between language and culture within specific
social mileaus.
ALEXANDER REPORTS ON HIS ADVENTURES IN KOBE
Faculty Member Richard Alexander, just beginning an exchange program at the Kobe
University of Commerce in Tarumi-ku, Japan, reports he's already settled into a "standard
Japanese house" about 30 minutes from the college. He has "four compact rooms with bath,
tatami mats, enormous closets...no heating or central hot water." It has been especially
furnished for him with "a desk, a western toilet and the longest bed purchasable in Kobe."
With the help of his neighbors, most of whom are Kobe faculty members, he has learned to
ride the local buses and trains and to shop in downtown Tarumi, "which is like nothing so
much as the Pike Street Market."
Kobe, he reports, is a large city, "very crowded and busy, located on a beautiful
bay and backed up against precipitous, thickly wooded hills." So far, he adds, "I have
experienced little or no culture shock" though he did "make one gaffe" recently when he
wore slippers into a house. "The custom is to remove ANY shoes, no matter how soft, before
entering." He says he "strains to be properly polite, to remember or try to guess what
will seem polite here." "Of course, I often find myself falling back, unconsciously on my
old Southern Gentleman training. Thus, I find it especially vexing to adjust to what seems
to be expected etiquette towards women. Here in southern Japan the customs are the revere~
of all that careful southern training. I have to restrain myself forcibly from rising whl
women enter the room...which would merely embarrass them. The wives still prepare the
meals and serve them while the men eat, eating only later themselves and alone."
Alexander notes he is "constantly tested about food. For example, offered raw fish
with the clear anticipation that I will gag on it. I surprise everyone by gobbling it up
voraciously," he adds. His long and detailed letter, open to all interested readers in the
Office of College Relations, includes detailed accounts of the opening day of school,

of the students "who are not at all regimented", the faculty "which appears to be nearly
all male" and the Japanese educational system. He concludes with a note of "hunger for
news of Evergreen and Olympia" and promises "all letters would be gratefully received and
replies forthcoming." And, he urges you use this address soon and send your letter air
mail. "The boat takes six weeks..."

Legislative Memo Volume V, No. 13
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
Capitol Budget
The capital budget was brought before the House Wednesday, April 18, and contained
more than $1 million in appropriations for Evergreen: $635,000 was recommended for the new
soccer and baseball field, $194,000 for gymnasium planning, $110,000 for emergency roof
and set and model shop repairs, and $150,000 was reappropriated for final equipment purchase
for the Communications Lab. In a vote taken Thursday April 19 the bill ran into trouble.
The first vote taken was 30-62 against passage. Evergreen's section is intact. It appears
that the House may not pass the bill, but may leave capital budget framing (and the edge
in negotiations) to the Senate. The Senate's capital budget is considerably less than that
of the House. The Senate hoped to bring its versions of both operating and capital budgets
to a vote this week.
Master's Bill
On April 17, the Senate concurred with the House amendment to SB 2610, the Evergreen
Master's bill, by a 43-3 vote. Voting against the bill were Senators Slim Rasmussen of
Tacoma, Kent Pullen of Issaquah, and Ray Moore of Seattle. The bill has been reprinted
with the amendment included, and signed by the President of the Senate, the Co-speakers of
the House and sent to the Governor on Friday, April 20. The Governor signed the bill
April 26.
The bill, sponsored by Senator A.N. "Bud" Shinpoch, authorizes the award of a Master's
degree at Evergreen. The appropriation for the first program in the public administration
study area is already in the budgets of each house, appropriating $296,000 for next biennium.
The modified amendment added by Phyllis Erickson requires annual reports by the College to
the Council for Postsecondary Education on our progress in raising enrollments, cutting
costs, and expanding service to Southwest Washington. It suggests that the Legislature
review CPE recommendations on the College's curriculum and performance in 1985 and act upon
them. It does not impose any sanctions in statute for failure to meet enrollment goals.
A Social Note
A dinner/reception for legislators serving their first session was held at the
President's residence on April 16, and was attended by 26 legislators plus guests. Evergreen
staff, faculty, alums, and ECCO steering committee members rounded out the attendance of
nearly 80 persons. The Board of Trustees was represented by Jane Sylvester and her husband,

SPRING FESTIVAL SET JUNE 1-3

Take five high school bands, a raft of cartoons, a sunny day's worth of softball
games and a zigzag skateboard rally. Add art exhibits featuring Thurston County craftspersons, community displays for upcoming summer festivals, and a variety of student and
faculty entertainment and exhibits and you'll come up with just some of the plans for
the first Spring Festival planned at Evergreen June 1, 2, and 3.
The event, still in design stages by an industrious committee, seeks to serve two
purposes: to celebrate the successful conclusion of Evergreen's eighth academic year
with a "show and tell" Open House that encourages the public to visit every nook and
cranny of their local state college; and to herald the coming of summer and the variety
of festivals and activities that come with it —— from Lakefair to the Mad Arts Festival,
from the McCleary Bear Festival to Yelm Prairie Days.
The idea for the festival, which will conclude with graduation ceremonies June 3,
was generated by the Enrollment Design Disappearing Task Force, which pointed out the
need for more social activities at Evergreen
a lack also noted in the January report
by the Council for Postsecondary Education.
Duke Kuehn, special assistant to President Dan Evans, two weeks ago appointed
Larry Stenberg and Judy Annis to cbchair plans for the event, which many hope will become
an annual "rite of spring". Stenberg and Annis invited some 15 persons to meet with them
last week to begin laying the groundwork and, when the committee met again Friday,
tentative schedules were to be finalized and a host of work assignments delivered.
"We kind of see this as Evergreen's gift to the Thurston County community," Stenberg
says. "It's our way to say "thank you' for having us." At the same time, Annis notes,
"It's our chance to show what we've done with all the resources the state has given us
what projects our students have completed, what exhibits or displays they've compiled
what we've done here during academic year 1978-79."
Within the next two weeks, invitations will go out to a variety of on and off
campus groups, seeking performers, craftspersons, all folks who'd like to become involved
in the festival in some way.
"We're still looking for activities and ideas to enrich our agenda," Annis says.
"We plan on starting things off on Friday afternoon, going all day Saturday with a variety
of activities for nearly every age group
from athletics to classical music, from tours
to a mud-generating tug of war game
and concluding Sunday with commencement."
The committee, which meets Friday mornings at 10 o'clock in Library 3112, invites all
interested Evergreeners to volunteer now to help with the festival. If you'd like to help
but can't attend the meeting, call either Annis (866-6128) or Stenberg (866-6296). All
suggestions are welcome.
PRAG BEGINS WORK WITH CONSULTANTS

Following four weeks of interviews with consultants from marketing, public relations
and advertising firms, the Public Relations Advisory Group (PRAG) this week recommended
selection of Hill and Knowlton, the largest public relations firm in the United States, to
assist the college in its efforts to double enrollment within the next five years.
President Dan Evans conferred with PRAG and his special assistant Duke Kuehn, last

- 2-

,

Monday, following an hour-long orientation by Norm Calvoe and Archie Tucker, both of Hill
and Knowlton's Seattle office. The president agreed with PRAG recommendations and expected
representatives from Hill and Knowlton to meet again with PRAG members Thursday to begin
final determination of contract responsibilities.
/
The firm was one of four which offered to help the college explore both short-term
plans to boost Fall Quarter's enrollment, and long-term efforts to impact the college's
public image and help Evergreen double its student body by 1985.
With the Hill-Knowlton contract still in the negotiations stages, another consultant
has already been hard at work since the first of April. Earlyse Swift was hired as a
special consultant to "develop a marketing approach for the college's curriculum" between
now and October 1. A former teacher and head for the "Focus on Opportunity" outreach
program at Whatcom Community College, Mrs. Swift will meet with faculty members, particularly
specialty area conveners and program coordinators, to help them identify potential audiences
for their Fall Quarter programs and to develop "marketing tactics." She'll also strive to
identify key groups of potential Evergreen students within Thurston County, especially
those already working as public employees, and she'll help coordinate publicity for the
Vancouver and Port Angeles Outreach programs.
TRUSTEES TO MEET APRIL 26
Evergreen's Board of Trustees convenes on campus Thursday, April 26, to consider
a proposal altering the faculty salary schedule and to weigh approval of a contract that
will enable Evergreen to offer teacher certification to its undergraduates through work
with another four-year institution. Trustees will also be asked to formally approve the
appointment of Byron Youtz as provost and to consider tuition waivers on certain grantsupported activities.
Dominating what appears to be a full agenda, are eleven presidential reports to
the board, ranging from an update on academic advising and on enrollment statistics from
Spring Quarter, to a recent faculty vote to abolish the Evergreen unit of credit and use /
the more standard hours of credit per quarter.
The board meeting, which begins at 10:30 a.m. April 26 in Library 3112, is open to
the public.

to Evergreen for one performance only Wednesday, April 25, beginning at 8 p.m. in the main
lobby of the Library Building. The multi-racial troupe, which has earned a national and
international reputation with its special blend of zany comedy and penetrating satire,
packed houses at Evergreen last year with a comic dramatization of urban renewal, "The
Hotel Universe." "Electrobucks" dissects in one hour, the "me" movement, the emerging
V
Chicane middle class, and the glittering new electronics industry.
The scene is the windowless assembly line of a microprocessor plant in the Santa Clara
or in the Willamette Valley. Wisps of harmful solvents and acids hang in the

Haunting the women's every move is Juan Hernandez, alias John Henderson, an upwardly
mobile production manager who has dropped the Mexican in him to become 99 percent "American."
Henderson wants a penthouse at the top, and to get it he has to squeeze more and more work
out of the overworked, underpaid women.
"Electrobucks," designed, directed, composed, produced and performed by the entire
Mime troupe, features original songs in English and Spanish, as well as a medley of countrywestern, soul and salsa tunes.
Admission price is $3.50 general or $2.50 for senior citizens and high school students.

...EVERGREENER WINS STATE'S_ONLY NSF/SOS AWARD...Robert Roach, an Illinois senior, and TESC,
have been awarded a $7,538 grant to evaluate means of preventing Acute Mountain Sickness
(AMS). This is the only grant awarded this year in the State of Washington through the Student Originated Studies program by the National Science Foundation. Roach, a science student,
says his year-long project will involve six other Evergreen students, working with the advice
of Evergreen faculty member Dr. Jeff Kelly, in concert with Dr. Tom Hornbein of the University
of Washington Medical School and Dr. Jeff Bland of the University of Puget Sound.
Purpose of the grant, Roach says, is to evaluate treatments proposed for AMS, an illness
which may involve headaches, nausea and vomiting. It seems to occur when persons climb to
high altitudes so rapidly that their bodies do not have time to adjust to the new environment.
Roach's Evergreen student team will evaluate the effectiveness of proposed treatments for
AMS and submit a final report to the National Science Foundation by next February.

...FOUR FINALISTS FOR ASSISTANT DEAN...Four Evergreen faculty members have accepted nominations
for a two-year appointment as assistant academic dean, according to Screening Committee chairman Thad Curtz. The four
Dr. Jeff Kelly, Dr. Richard Cellarius, Dr. Greg Steinke, and Dr.
Kirk Thompson
will be interviewed on campus the week of April 23. The Screening Committee
hopes then to complete recommendations on the finalists and forward their report to Provost
Byron Youtz by May 2. The appointment, a nonrenewable one to fill the post currently held
by Dr. Rob Knapp, becomes effective Fall Quarter and continues through Summer, 1981.

April 30. Evergreen students are asked to submit their work by Monday, April 23.
Purpose of the contest, supported by donations from Olympia attorneys Carol and Herb
Fuller, is to "encourage the composition of poetry and to recognize the achievement of student
poets," says Dr. Carlson.
Awards for the contest are $50 for the high school winner. Evergreen poets may win $100
for first place; $75 for second or $50 for third. All works must either be previously unpublished or have been published since September, 1977.

Its Art History" in a public slide/lecture Tuesday, April 17, at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall
of the Communications Building. Kawasaki, a member of Evergreen's faculty in art and art
history since 1976, will offer clues to understanding what he calls "the conflicting messages
that bombard foreign visitors to modern Japan" in his presentation, part of the Spring Quarter
Tuesdays at Eight concert/lecture series.
...HISTORIAN TO EXAMINE "HEROES_AND HEROINES" WEDNESDAY...American historian, author and professor Page Smith believes that we live in a period of the anti-hero, where our old models for
leroism, bravery and courage have broken down and we're forced to busily search for new examples. In a free, public presentation April 18, Smith will shed new light on old theories
about "Heroes and Heroines in American History", the fifth event in the Future of Our Heritage
Series. His talk begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Olympia Public Library and will be followed bydiscussion and refreshments.

drama that paints a spiritual portrait of America in the 1960s, comes to western Washington
for one performance only Saturday, April 21, at Evergreen. Written by Robert Patrick, who has
been called "Off-Off-Broadway's most produced playwright," the award-winning drama will be
staged by Portland's Storefront Theater beginning at 8 p.m. in the Experimental Theater of
the Communications Building.
Set in a New York bar in 1974, the play focuses on five characters who never interact
with each other; instead they individually relive their experiences during the post-Camelot
era. Together the quintet presents what reviewers have described as "an expert mixture of
bittersweet nostalgia, self deprecating humor, sarcastic social commentary and a subtle but
moving sense of lost youth and failed ideas."

50 more recommendations
SYMPOSIUM GENERATES STUDENT SUGGESTIONS, PLANS TO CONTINUE WORK
By Carolyn Byerly, College Relations Editor

Carol Gilliland discussed the need to strengthen academic advising rather than impose
set requirements for graduation. Steve Francis observed that the word "pathways" to degrees
connotes singularity: one road, one end. Martha Turner raised the need for students on independent contract or internships to meet each other. In all, more than a dozen student spokespersons and over 50 concrete recommendations for Evergreen's future formed the finale of a twoday symposium Wednesday afternoon when a crowd surpassing 200 gathered on Red Square. The
mood was festive, yet participants seemed concerned and aware that more work on the part of
students, faculty and staff still lay ahead before future studies and enrollment plans would
be final.
The two days of small group and plenary sessions, initiated by students last week and
endorsed fully by Evergreen faculty, examined nine issues related to college operations,
academics and plans for enrollment boosts. Participants took excused leave from regular
academic schedules to examine these issues: contracts and internships, graduation requirements,
curriculum prediction and career pathways, part-time studies, advising, college image and
marketing, social activities,and student involvement in decision making and academic planning.
PRESERVE, BUT STRENGTHEN
Recommendations had grown out of many hours of discussions and debate in small workshops
Tuesday and Wednesday, when students spoke out on concerns about the college's future and
offered their own suggestions for shaping it. Some recommendations overlapped; others offered
new light on old subjects. Preservation of Evergreen's present system was a recurring theme,
as was the need for stronger freshman and continuing academic advising; many felt that the
more students are informed about the Evergreen system and its options, the better decisions
they can make about their personal education. Another strong theme centered on a need for
expanded part-time studies for working persons and women returning to the classroom.
The need for local community involvement in Evergreen affairs was mentioned nearly half
a dozen times, with one workshop proposing a survey to determine educational needs of local
residents. Other presenters pinpointed the need for different campus information systems to
inform students about faculty expertise, college resources, and how to become part of various
activities.
Recommendations for a better public image for the college gave rise to thoughts like placing more emphasis on Evergreen successes (alums, programs), expanding our use of photos and
other broadcast media, and taking personal responsibility to talk to others about the college.
To expand enrollment, some thought everyone should "bring a friend to campus
permanently,"
or that Evergreen could expand its exposure by outreach to county fairs and other forums
around the state.
WORKSHOPS WILL MEET THROUGH MAY
Responding to strong expressions for student involvement in academic planning and college
affairs, Provost Byron Youtz recommended a process that would allow student input while still
recognizing the responsibility of faculty and administrators for final decisions. Essentially,
symposium workshops will continue meeting as study groups now through early May, when recommendations on specific programs will be finalized. New participants may join during this time.
Interested Evergreeners are encouraged to keep pace with the sessions through the
campus Information Center which will be adding new boards for use in following these developments .

post currently held by Rob Knapp, becomes effective Fall Quarter and continues through Summer,
1981.

Legislative Memo Volume V, No. 12
MASTER'S BILL PASSES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
On Monday April 9, the House of Representatives passed Substitute Senate House Bill 2610,
the Evergreen Master's bill, adding a House Higher Education Committee amendment. The
amendment described in last week's legislative memo merely requires reports on progress
(
in implementing the CPE report recommendations "increasing enrollment, reducing costs and
expanding service to Southwestern Washington." It calls for the college to report annually
"steps taken with respect to achievement of: target enrollment levels, provision of a
master's program in evening credit offerings, the expansion of career preparation pathways,
the re-examination of admissions procedures, expanded efforts in Southwest Washington
high schools and community colleges to increase Washington resident enrollments at the
college" and a number of other recommendations of the CPE report.
There was no floor debate opposing the bill Monday. Speaking in favor of the bill were
Representatives Dan Grimm, Democrat-Puyallup, who moved its passage and Representative
Ron Dunlap, Republican-Bellevue, who moved that the bill be advanced from second to third
reading for its final passage. Also speaking on behalf of the bill were Representatives
Scott Blair, Republican-Seattle, Representative Jeff Douthwaite, Democrat-Seattle,
Representative Delores Teutsch, Republican-Kirkland, Representative Hal Zimmerman,RepublicanCamas and Representative Dick Barnes, Republican-Seattle.
The appropriation for the bill was placed in the House budget two weeks ago on an
amendment offered by Representative Ron Keller, Democrat-Olympia, along with two other
Evergreen amendments totalling $428,000.
The bill now goes to the Senate for concurrence with the House amendment. If the
Senate concurs, the bill will be signed by co-speakers of the House John Bagnariol and
Duane Berentson, and President of the Senate Lt. Governor John Cherberg and delivered to
the Governor for her action. Upon delivery, the Governor has five days to sign the bill
or veto it. If she fails to act on it within that time, the bill becomes a law without
Gubernatorial signature.
The Capitol Budget Bill (HB 235) is being written this week by the House Appropriations
Committee. The Governor's budget contained no appropriation for TESC's capitol request.
f.
It appears likely that the House will add some capitol projects for Evergreen.
An effort to remove the Faculty Collective Bargaining bill from the House Labor
Committee and place it on the calendar, failed 49-49 on Tuesday. Wednesday was the last
day for consideration of this bill under current cut-off date agreements.

ROACH AWARDED STATE'S ONLY NSF/SOS GRANT

(

Robert Roach, an Illinois senior, and Evergreen have been awarded a $7,538 grant to
evaluate means of preventing Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). This is the only grant awarded
this year in the state of Washington through the Student Originated Studies program by
the National Science Foundation. Roach, a science student, says his year-long project will
involve six other Evergreen students, working with the advice of Evergreen faculty member,
Dr. Jeff Kelly, in concert with Dr. Tom Hornbein of the University of Washington Medical
School and Dr. Jeff Bland of the University of Puget Sound.
Purpose of the grant, Roach says, is to evaluate treatments proposed for AMS, an
illness which may involve headaches, nausea and vomiting. It seems to occur when people
climb to high altitudes so rapidly that their bodies do not have time to adjust to the new
environment.
"In the past few years," Roach says, "several therapeutic agents have been suggested
for the prevention of AMS. Among these treatments is the ingestion of large amounts of
Rolaids (up to 24 tablets a day) as recommended by Larry Penberthy of Mountain Safety Research
in Seattle."
An Evergreen student team will evaluate the effectiveness of such treatment by
utilizing Rolaids and a placebo in a "double-blind, randomized" procedure. "This means
that neither the climbers, nor the person distributing the tablets will know which agent
is being given," Roach says. The physiological signs and symptoms will be monitored to
determine the effectiveness of the treatment as well as to gather further information
about AMS.
Working on the project full-time with Roach will be Evergreen students Susan Bartlett
of Concord, Massachusetts and Debbie Johnson of Chester, Vermont, and working part-time
are Jeff Hardesty of Eugene, Oregon and Jeri Edelston of Armonk, New York. Roach plans
soon to add two more full-time students to the project, which will be conducted primarily
during the summer, with final reports due to the National Science Foundation by
February, 1980.
EVERGREEN POETS SOUGHT FOR FULLER CONTEST
Student poets from Mason and Thurston County high schools and Evergreen are invited
to submit their works to the third annual Carol and Herb Fuller Poetry Contest, now underway.
Dr. Craig Carlson, Evergreen faculty member and chairman of the annual contest, says
entries from high school poets are due in his office by Monday, April 30. Evergreen
students are asked to submit their work by Monday, April 23.
Purpose of the contest, supported by donations from Olympia attorneys Carol and Herb
Fuller, is to "encourage the composition of poetry and to recognize the achievement of
student poets," says Dr. Carlson. "Both the Fullers feel that other students engaged in
the arts
dancers, musicians and actors
have a chance to perform; or, in the case
of painters, sculptors and photographers, to exhibit their work," Dr. Carlson says.
"The Fullers, devotees of poetry and also parents of Evergreen students, feel poets, too,
should have a chance to display their works," Carlson adds. "They offer this contest as
a vehicle for that recognition."
Awards for the contest are $50 for the high school winner. Evergreen poets may win
$100 for first place; $75 for second or $50 for third. All works must either be previously
unpublished or have been published since September, 1977.
The contest also requires participants to submit three or more short poems or a total
of 200 lines of verse, whichever amounts to the smaller number of lines. Five copies of
each poem must be typed and submitted without the name of the poet on them. An envelope
containing the poems will carry the poet's name, which will not be seen by the four-member
panel of judges. The envelope should contain the poet's mailing address, telephone number
and student status. All poets who want their poems returned must supply a self addressed
stamped envelope. Contestants who do not follow these rules will not be considered for the
prizes.
Contest judges are: Dr. Charles Teske, Evergreen faculty member in literature;

Molly Phillips, TESC graduate and current legislative analyst for the Office of the Council
of State College and University Presidents; Rusty North, Evergreen alum, artist-printer
f"
and poet; and Cal Kinnear, poet, dancer and owner of Word of Mouth Bookstore.
All entries should be mailed to Dr. Carlson, Library 2114, The Evergreen State College,
Olympia, Washington 98505.

Kazuhiro Kawasaki, a calligrapher and art historian who's been perfecting his
techniques since the age of three and a Japanese national who's become a stranger in his own
country, will explore "Contact With Japan Through Its Art History" in a public slide/lecture
Tuesday, April 17, at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building. Kawasaki,
a member of Evergreen's faculty in art and art history since 1976, will offer clues to
understanding what he calls "the conflicting messages that bombard foreign visitors to
modern Japan" in his presentation, part of the Spring Quarter Tuesdays at Eight concert/
lecture series.
The conflicts most visitors perceive but don't understand arise from Japan's "borrowing
of cultural attitudes" from China throughout its history and from the United States since
the end of World War II, Kawasaki says. Modern Japan offers immediate and ready evidence
of western influence
in its media, its transportation, even its fashion, he adds. The
country has, since 1945, adopted various western cultural ingredients that contribute to
convenience
such as discarding of kimonos by women office workers who now favor more
comfortable western style dresses.
But, the most difficult concept to grasp is how the Japanese have incorporated these
western influences, he says. And the best way for him to share his understanding of modern.
Japan is through its art and art history.
Presenting slides which span 14 centuries of Chinese influence and two decades of
westernization, Kawasaki says he'll offer a thematic approach to his talk, emphasizing
aesthetic trends in Japanese art history and pointing out the "extremely sensual and
emotional approach to art employed by the Japanese."1
Kawasaki has had ample opportunity to explore Japanese art, having been born into a
Tokyo family of calligraphers. He began learning that art at the age of three. His
life-long involvement with drawing and calligraphy led him to a job as a fashion illustrator
for a Tokyo department store. He soon rose to the task of fashion coordinator,, charged
with responsibility for hiring models, staging fashion shows of western clothes and improving
the "cultural awareness" of his models, many of whom lacked formal education. He directed
them to the city's art exhibits and concerts, attempting to offer them a sense of their
cultural heritage.
While working in that post, Kawasaki began to perceive himself as a "misfit," because,
as he recalls, "modern industrial Japan seems to require conformity and suppression of
individuality. I needed to break away from that." Joining family friends in Seattle,
Kawasaki enrolled at the University of Washington where he has completed his bachelor and
master's degrees and all but his dissertation for a doctorate
all in art and art history.
After five years in Seattle, he returned home in 1970. "The shock was so great," he
remembers, "I didn't go gack for five more years." The country had undergone changes
which Kawasaki had predicted. What he had not forecast were his own changes in attitudes.
"I'd become a stranger in Japan," he says. "Even taxi cab drivers would ask where I came
from. Though I speak fluent Japanese, I guess I'd lost my regional accent and I'd come
to behave in a manner distictive from my countrymen."
Kawasaki will share his views about the transformation of his country
and the
continuing sophistication of its art
in his talk Tuesday at Eight. Tickets go on
sale at 7:30 p.m. April 17 at the door of the Communications Building for $1.

"HANTA YO" AUTHOR TO SPEAK TUESDAY
Ruth Beebe Hill, who spent nearly 30 years of her life researching and writing the
Indian epic Hanta Yo will be the featured speaker at the annual meeting of Olympia Friends
of the Library, April 17, at 7:30 p.m. Hill, a resident of Friday Harbor, meticulously
traces the ancestry of two Dakotah Indian families from the 1750's to 1830 in her work,
recreating the Indian culture as it was before white people's influence.
Smithsonian
magazine has called Hanta Yo a "blockbuster novel" and a "linguistic spectacular", and
ABC-TV has purchased rights to the manuscript with plans to dramatize the work
using the same team that produced "Roots" three years ago.
Author Hill devoted nearly half of her 65 years creating Hanta Yo. A white woman,
she became inspired by her own discovery of an ancient Dakotah document printed on tanned
elk hide. With the assistance of Chunksa Yuha, a Santee Sioux, Hill translated the
manuscript into Dakotah, and finally into nineteenth century English. The story finally
woven from this rare document depicts the tortuous sun-gazing ceremony, routine scalpings,
brutal children's games, the tender growth of friendship, and the intimacy of the marriage
ceremony. Hill calls her work, released in February, a "spiritual travelogue." She
believes that in the process of writing the book, she became quasi-Indian herself through
daily life on reservations.
Evergreeners and Olympia area residents may hear her personal account of Hanta Yo
during her April 17 talk. The event is free and open to the public. For more details contact
Ed Younglove, 357-7793.
HISTORIAN TO EXAMINE "HEROES AND HEROINES" WEDNESDAY
American historian, author and professor Page Smith believes that we live in a period
of the anti-hero, where our old models for heroism, bravery and courage have broken down
and we're forced to busily search for new examples.
In a free, public presentation Wednesday, April 18, Smith will shed new light on old
theories about "Heroes and Heroines in American History," the fifth event in the Future
of Our Heritage series, funded by the Washington State Commission for the Humanities and
coordinated by the Senior Center of Thurston County, The Evergreen State College and other
local organizations.
Professor Smith will speak at 7:30 p.m., at the Olympia Public Library, with refreshments and informal discussion following his talk.
Born in Baltimore, and educated at Dartmouth and Harvard, Dr. Page Smith has taught
American history at William and Mary College, and the University of California at
Santa Cruz and Los Angeles. Dr. Smith currently resides in Santa Cruz, where he continues
work on a several volume series on our nation's history since the Revolution.
Traditionally, Smith says, western culture's heroes were men who performed extraordinary
physical feats in battle or somewhere else. Even today, he continues, we tend to identify
the heroic with the conspicuous
public figures for the most part
when there is
evidence all about us that we seek a new kind of hero, a person more like ourselves.
"We have overlooked, been embarassed by the feats and day-to-day survival of
ordinary people," Smith says, "people like ourselves." "Yet we have recently begun to go
back, to find heroism in the person who struggled for a belief or cause or just daily
existence."
Noting the overwhelming success of the television program "Roots," as one example,
Smith says we are looking into our own past histories to celebrate the achievements of
ordinary people, especially people to whom we are linked.
Smith recalls new insights into heroism formulated by contemporary thinkers like
Harlem teacher Tom O'Gorman, who has written that in his own work his most essential task
is to "help students recognize the enormous presence of the hero in themselves," a concept
that Smith feels extends far beyond the ghetto and into all of society.
We are looking for the commendable in ourselves and we will come to celebrate it in
persons with whom we can identify, he predicts.
Through historians like himself we are coming to know more about some of the little
known heroic men and women in our own cultural past. In his research and writing Dr. Smith

6-

says he has sought "to do as much for women as for men in pointing out notable people."
His works include Daughters in American History, A People's History of the American
Revolution, The Chicken Book, and As a City Upon a Hill (the story of towns in American
history).
The Future of Our Heritage series seeks to explore how individuals and the cultural
experience link the past with the future. Dr. Page Smith will discuss his views on this
theme informally after his talk. He will be joined in this informal session by elders
from the Olympia community who are participating in the Heritage series.
The next Heritage event will present Ron Clarke and others who specialize in
community planning, in a program about community planning, policies and the environment,
May 9, 7:30 p.m., in the Olympia Public Library.
STOREFRONT THEATER

f

TO PERFORM "KENNEDY'S CHILDREN" APRIL 21

Kennedy's Children, a satirical drama that paints a spiritual portrait of America
in the 1960s, comes to western Washington for one performance only Saturday, April 21 at
Evergreen. Written by Robert Patrick, who has been called "Off-Off-Broadway's most produced
playwright," the award-winning drama will be staged by Portland's Storefront Theater
beginning at 8 p.m. in the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building.
Set in a New York City bar in 1974, the play focuses on five characters who never
interact with each other; instead they individually relive their experiences during the
post-Camelot era. Together the quintet present what reviewers have described as "an
expert mixture of bittersweet nostalgia, self deprecating humor, sarcastic social commentary
and a subtle but moving sense of lost youth and failed ideas."
Focusing on what his characters say rather than what they do, Patrick has crafted a
dialogue which sticks to the minds of theatergoers and insures that their involvement with
each character intensifies as the evening
and the degree of alcoholic blurring
continues. Telling their tales of disappointment are Jerry West, as the spaced out Vietnam'
veteran who got high on the war; Luna Pettebone, as a social worker quietly obsessed with
President Kennedy's assassination; Dana Clavin as the political activist who has run out
of causes; Joanna Connolly, as an actress who once hoped to replace Marilyn Monroe as the
nation's sex goddess; and Sunny Sorrells, as the cynical and defeated Off-Broadway actor.
Seated at separate tables, the five present a tapestry of interlocking, yet isolated
monologues, carefully guided by director Richard Nesbitt, currently the manager of
Evergreen's Communications Building, but former business manager for Storefront. Nesbitt
and the cast of Kennedy's Children spent a week with the playwright, gaining his interpretations of the characters, men and women who were not only Patrick's friends, but his
heroes.
Their dissolution and loss of innocence make for what reviewers have called a "must
see" performance. Reservations for the Saturday evening production may be made by calling
866-6128. Tickets go on sale at 7:30 p.m. April 21 at the door of the Communication
Building for $3 general admission or $1.50 for students.
YUGOSLAVIAN DANCE PERFORMANCE SET APRIL 22
"Music and Dance of Yugoslavia" will be celebrated in a public performance by The
Olympia Folkdancers, the Vela Luka Tamburica Orchestra and the Olympia Balkan Singers
Sunday, April 22, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Experimental Theater of the Communications
Building at The Evergreen State College.
The musical production, which carries a $1 admission charge, will be directed by
former Evergreen student Richard Home, currently director/choreographer of the Vela Luka
Dance Ensemble of Anacortes, a city which encompasses a community of persons of Croatian
descent.
Home, who will serve as master of ceremonies for the Sunday evening performance,
says he conceived the program as part of his Winter Quarter studies in Slavic dance and
folklore with Evergreen Faculty Member Dr. Al Wiedemann, who will participate in the

- 7performance as one of the local dancers.
Clad in Yugoslavian costumes. The Olympia Folkdancers will present nine dances from
the Yugoslavian Republics of Serbia and Croatia in the 90-minute program, which will be
interspersed with historical and cultural commentary by Home.
Providing music for some of the dances will be the six-member Vela Luka Tamburica
Orchestra, also of Anacortes. In addition, a number of songs will be performed by the
Olympia Balkan Singers.
Tickets to the April 22 performance go on sale at 7 p.m. at the door of the
Communications Building.
MECHA OFFERS CHICANO SYMPOSIUM

PLANNING MEETING FOR BEAUX ARTS BALL TUESDAY
Evergreeners are warmly invited to grab their sewing machines and create their
costumes now for the third annual Beaux Arts Ball, planned Saturday, April 28, beginning
at 8 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Evans Library. The event, a celebration of the fine
arts first originated in Paris during the 1920's, will offer participants a chance to
create and wear costumes which recognize both the coming of spring and the vitality of
the arts. Music by two professional bands, including Portland's Montuno Latin Jazz group,

graduated in 1974, has earned his law degree from the University of Washington.
Faculty
Member Paul Marsh reports that Corgan, who graduated from the U Law School in June of 1977,
may well be our first official lawyer, though the Newsletter knows of two other Evergreen
alums who have also earned their coveted law degrees: Bart Vandegrift and Chris Meserve.
Chris, who currently heads the Alumni Association and works for the State Supreme Court,
was recently named "Young Career Woman" by the Business and Professional Women's Club
of Olympia and by District Five of the State Federation of BPW clubs. Judging was based

FACULTY ENDORSES TWO-DAY SYMPOSIUM, DUMPS "UNIT"
Evergreen's faculty members have fully endorsed a plan presented to them by students
April 4, calling for a two-day symposium to discuss Evergreen's future, and they voted
to alter that future by dropping the use of the Evergreen "unit" as a measure of
credit.
The symposium, presented to faculty members by students Ellen Kissman and David
Weeks, begins Tuesday at 9 a.m. in the main library lobby and seeks to "involve the entire
community" in discussing results of the study by the Council for Postsecondary Education
and subsequent work by faculty members on college structure and curriculum. The session,
which will continue throughout the day Wednesday and conclude with reports by workshop
leaders, was first suggested and fully endorsed at an all-campus meeting March 8, and
endorsed again by faculty members April 4 at their regular monthly meeting.
SERIOUS DEBATE, NOT CONFRONTATION
Provost Byron Youtz, who has supported the proposal for the Symposium since it was
first suggested last month, told faculty he didn't view the event as a "confrontive one,"
but as a "serious discussion/debate," during which he wanted to keep two things in mind:
that the final responsibility for decision making lies with the faculty, which needs
dialogue with students on academic issues; and that the decisions Evergreen faces must be
made during this academic year. "We have to know where we are headed before everyone
leaves in June," he said.
A motion from Faculty Member Tom Rainey called for support of the symposium, suspension
of classes, and enthusiastic participation by faculty in the symposium. Faculty Member
Paul Sparks, dubbing the symposium an "all campus coordinated atudies program," offered a
"friendly amendment'7to Rainey's motion, giving faculty members the option to reschedule
Tuesday's classes on a program-by-program basis. Both motions were approved with little
dissent.
Following a keynote speech at 9 a.m. Tuesday on "the gravity of the situation" facing
Evergreen, the symposium will divide into nine workshops on: definition of degrees and
graduation requirements; curriculum predictability and career pathways; individual contracts
and internships; advising; "understandable curriculum"; freshman requirements and problems
of entry; Evergreen's image, marketing and outreach; social space, activities and athletics;
part-time and evening studies; student involvement in decision-making; and student involvement in curriculum planning.
After lunch Wednesday, workshop facilitators will present summaries of their discussions and consider possible future action, perhaps leading to the formation of study groups.
EVERGREEN UNIT OUSTED

Faculty members Wednesday also agreed to drop use of the Evergreen unit and "use the
more common system, the quarter hour of academic credit" beginning Fall Quarter, 1979.
Full-time academic programs will continue to be designated at 16-quarter hours, three unit
programs will generate 12 quarter hours, half-time programs will generate 8 quarter hours,
and one-unit courses will generate four quarter hours. Faculty recommended that part-time
courses carry one to four quarter hours of credit, but they defeated motions to permit
students to register for more than 16 hours per quarter.
Faculty recommendations on the unit's demise will be forwarded by Provost Youtz to the
Board of Trustees, which next meets on campus April 26, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112

- 3as the facets of a well cut diamond" performs at Evergreen Wednesday. On tour to more than
20 communities in 13 states this spring, the popular Seattle based modern dance company
features the dancing and choreography of its founder, Bill Evans, along with five featured
soloists.
Tickets to the one-night-only performance are $6 general admission or $5 for students
and may be reserved by calling 866-6128. The Experimental Theater seats only 250 persons
and some 130 persons have reserved tickets, which will be available at 7:15 p.m. April 11.
Only a few (if any) tickets will be left for sale at the door after 7:30 Wednesday evening.
Bringing with them a repertory of dance that reflects a concern for human communication, the Bill Evans Dancers will perform five vastly different works in combinations
ranging from two to five performers. Each of their works seeks to provide what they call a
"balanced and accessible program for audiences with little or much exposure to modern
dance."
Evans, who serves as artistic director of the company, its school, and the Seattle
Summer Institute of Dance, has been honored over the past several years as a recipient of a
Guggenheim Fellowship and several choreographic fellowships from the National Endowment of
the Arts. His works are performed by 18 professional ballet and modern dance companies
in the U.S. and Europe, and he has served on dance faculties of a number of schools.
"IT'S ONLY MONEY" OPENS TONIGHT
"It's Only Money," a three-act "new theater" play written, produced and directed by
three Evergreen students, opens tonight, beginning at 8 o'clock in the Experimental Theater
of the Communications Building.
Offering "employment of non-traditional theatrical techniques," the drama is the work of
graduating seniors Brent Ray, Stephen Gallira and Jeffrey Morgan, who have been studying
with Faculty Member Marilyn Frasca. Their production, they say, "reflects some of the
best that Evergreen has given us." "Besides," they note, "it's a barrel of fun
and it
may even affect your lives."
The drama repeats Saturday night, same time, same place. Tickets are $1.50 general
or $1 student admission.
CABLE DISCUSSES JAPANESE BUSINESS AT TUESDAY LUNCHEON
More and more Americans are "doing business with Japan" and are increasingly interested
in improving their understanding of how business is best conducted with that country.
Businesswoman Carie Cable will offer her suggestions and insights into ways American
businesses can increase their relationships with the Japanese in a public program Tuesday,
April 10, beginning at noon at Arnold's Restaurant at 900 South Capitol Way in Olympia.
Cable, an Evergreen faculty member in Japanese cultural studies since 1972, has
spent the past decade studying, traveling in and gathering information on Japanese culture
and business. Her studies led her to conclude that Americans needed an increased understanding of Japanese culture in order to improve their business relationships. No one seemed
able to offer that kind of information, so Cable took a year's leave of absence from
Evergreen and founded Kyodai, a consultant firm which she says "helps American companies
prepare for or improve business contacts with Japan."
Cable will discuss her business, her years of travel in Japan and her personal
experiences there in the April 10 program, sponsored by The Evergreen Community Organization.
The noon program carries a $4.20 admission charge, which includes a luncheon of crepes a la
Reine. Reservations may be made by calling 866-6128.
WOMEN IN CHINA AND CUBA FOCUS OF JOINT LECTURE
Though women served alongside men in key combat and support roles during the Chinese
and Cuban revolutions, Olympians Pat Larson and Peta Henderson find some differences in
the way women's roles are perceived in the two socialist nations. Larson and Henderson,
who traveled through China and Cuba, respectively, last year, will reveal their travelers'
impressions in a program titled "Women in China and Cuba: A Comparison," on April 10, at

- 48 p.m., in the Communications Building Recital Hall. Their presentation is part of
Evergreen's Tuesdays at Eight concert/lecture series and carries a $1 admission charge.
Pat Larson, a dramatist and historian, has devoted most of her past five years to
research and theatrical presentation of women throughout history in her involvement with
the "Co-Respondents," a women's theater group. She will begin her presentation of Chinese
women with readings from Han Suyin and Agnes Smedley, to illustrate how women's life
and Chinese history were defined by Confuscianism before the revolution which was completed
in 1949.
Larson recently spent a year living in Polynesia with her husband Eric Larson
an experience which she says helped introduce her to the Orient, but which was still afield
from the unique nation she found upon entering China a year ago.
Dr. Peta Henderson, an anthropologist and faculty member at Evergreen since 1974,
has had a long-standing interest in women and Latin America. Doctoral research into
health care and female sterilization led her to on-location work in Puerto Rico several years
ago, and other travels have taken her to Belize and Mexico, before Cuba. She teaches women's
history and women's studies, in addition to her own field of anthropology at Evergreen.
To introduce her discussion of Cuban women, Henderson will describe Cuba's
African-Spanish heritage, a major cultural force in the island nation until the socialist
revolution of 1959.
WATERFALL RETURNS ON LUCKY FRIDAY
Recording artist Linda Waterfall returns to Evergreen Friday, April 13 for an evening
concert with the Gone Johnson Band, beginning at 8 o'clock in the main lobby of the
Library. Waterfall, a popular Pacific Northwest performer who packed the library when she
performed there last spring, composes most of her own songs, accompanies herself on piano
and guitar, and records with Windham Hill records.
Advance tickets to her Friday evening concert are $3.50 general admission or $3 for
students and senior citizens. They're already on sale at the Bookstore. Tickets will
cost one dollar more at the door.
ECLECTIC THEATER STAGES "PAPER FLOWERS" SATURDAY

A two-person drama which provides what reviewers have labeled a "riveting theatrical
experience" comes to Evergreen for one performance only Saturday, April 14, when The Eclectic
Union Theater of Seattle stages its premiere production of "Paper Flowers" at 8 p.m. in
the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building.
Performed by Helen Szablya and Barry Meiners, veterans of the Iowa Theater Lab and
founders of Eclectic Union, "Paper Flowers" offers an intense, searing and occasionally
humorous exploration of the relationship of a financially comfortable woman and an
impoverished man from "down by the river."
Set in Chile, the six-act drama was written in 1970 by Chilean playwright Egon Wolff,
regarded as a major voice in the resurgent theater of South America. His play won Latin
America's most prestigious award, the Casa de las Americas prize, the year it opened. Last
fall it opened in Paris to wide acclaim and its premiere in the U.S.
just a few weeks
ago in Bellevue
was immediately labeled a "must see" by reviewers from the Seattle
Times to The Weekly.
Eclectic Union, the first group to "show the courage" to produce "Paper Flowers" in
the United States, features the direction of Anne O'Connell, a New England actor, director
and dramatic teacher who has lived in several Latin American countries, and the original
music composed and recorded by Patrick Purswell of Seattle.
Starring in the two-person story are Helen Szablya as Eve, the upper class woman in
her early thirties who meets Hake, played by Szablya's husband, Barry Meiners, the shabbily /
dressed, foul-smelling man who offers to carry her groceries to her apartment. Enriching
their highly reviewed performance, Szablya and Meiners apply their experience in dance and
nonverbal performance forms, summoning what one writer called "the deeper unspoken levels
behind Wolff's drama with the aid of no more than some battered stage furniture."

- 5Founded three years ago as a non-profit organization dedicated to showcasing new
ew
talents, performing new works and teaching new approaches to the theater arts, Eclectic
Theater comes to Evergreen for one performance only. Tickets to the April 14 performance
o on sale at the door of the Communications Building Saturday night, beginning at 7:30 for
v2.50 general or $1.50 student admission. For information or reservations, call 866-6128.
NEW EXHIBITS OPEN EASTER SUNDAY

A variety of ceramic works completed by graduate students and an exhibit of black
and white photography, color xerox works and paintings open Sunday, April 15, in two Library
Galleries at Evergreen.
"Clayworks," a display of contemporary functional and sculptural ceramics, opens in
the Fourth Floor Library Gallery through May 5. Organized by Evergreen Faculty Artist
Susan Aurand, the "Clayworks" display features work by 13 artists "who represent a variety
of artistic interpretations and viewpoints," Aurand says. The artists, all graduate
students, hail from colleges and universities throughout western Washington.
"Shadows," a display of two-dimensional art work, culminates two quarters' work by
20 Evergreen student photographer/artists directed by Faculty Member Paul Sparks.
Their works will remain on display in the Second Floor Library Gallery through April 27.
Primary emphasis of the "Shadows" academic study has been, Sparks says, "for students to
develop personal imagery through the form of extended bodies of work." "We wanted students
to create art work equal in quality to those completed by first-year graduate students in
other universities," he adds. "I think it's led to an outstanding exhibit."
Complete information on both displays
and on upcoming exhibits scheduled in
Evergreen's Galleries
is available from Sid White, exhibits coordinator, 866-6119.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE REPS HERE APRIL 19
Representatives from Washington's 27 community colleges will be on hand to talk to
.iterested Evergreeners Thursday, April 19 beginning at 9 a.m. in the main Library lobby.
Students may gain information about Summer Quarter studies at the two-year state colleges
or explore technical programs with a three-member team comprised of two community college
counselors and a representative of the State Board for Community College Education.
STAFF WOMEN CHALLENGE FACULTY TO DIAMOND MATCH

If Evergreen faculty women look a bit worried and defensive
these days, they have every reason to quake in their cleats, according
to Kris Robinson, champion first baseman and coach of an upstart
team of staff baseball players.
Robinson, encouraged by her motley crew, has challenged faculty
women to a seven inning slowpitch Softball game to begin at noon,
Saturday, April 28 (The date was originally set for April 21 but has
been changed to accommodate the female Academic Deans.) on the campus
playfield. Stakes for the one-time-only event, says Robinson, are
"the honor of the players
and the first round of refreshments at
the Two-Mile House."
As the Newsletter went to press, Faculty Member Carolyn Dobbs had
formally accepted Robinson and her team's challenge, and rumor has
it that Dobbs, and Lynn Patterson have been recruiting baseball bums
from throughout academic ranks. Staff women who have not yet formally
joined Robinson's Irregulars are invited (urged, begged, pleaded,
cajoled) to volunteer for April 28 service by calling Kris at 866-6340
as soon as possible.

"VANCOUVER AND PUGET" STUDY PROGRAM FEATURED ON KOMO

The Vancouver and Puget Coordinated Studies program taught on campus last year was
highlighted this week in a special 15-minute feature on KOMO Television's nightly program,
"P.M. Northwest." The production, which has taken nearly a year to finalize, was the work
of a number of Evergreen students and Faculty Member Dr. Bob Barnard, who met Tuesday with
KOMO television staffers and found out their long-awaited premiere was Wednesday (April 4).
Also responsible for the successful production were student Bond Sandoe, who
produced it, and Faculty Members Robert Sluss and Pete Sinclair, who directed the Vancouver
and Puget Study Program.
EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS

Dave West, who has served as acting facilities director for the past three months,
returns to his former post as building and grounds supervisor Monday when the new, permanent
director David Wallbom joins the college staff. West says he wants to express "sincere
thanks to all who have helped make my short term directorship a pleasant experience."
He says that "things have hummed right along without any major problems" and he appreciates
the cooperation he's had, especially from his 80-member crew in the Facilities Office.
Gail Martin, director of Career Planning and Placement, has been selected as a
participant in the National Conference on "Career Development Models for the Liberal Arts
College" to be held at Madonna College in Livonia, Michigan May 14 and 15. Purpose of the

Standard Records and Hifi in Seattle as a bookeeper and sales person.
A more recent CPJ staffer, Brian Cantwell, has been named news editor of the Mount
Vernon Argus, a weekly newspaper. He found job hunting for newspaper positions very difficv"4and advises current journalism students that "a weekly newspaper is a person's best bet."
He credits his internship experience with the Legislature and his work on the CPJ, coupled
with his evaluations which "acted as excellent letters of recommendation" for his success
in landing the new Mount Vernon job.

Evergreen graduate Mark Gottlieb will be appearing on national television May 6 to
demonstrate two inventions he created while studying here. He and his sister Karen will
play (underwater) aqualin and hydro organ for a special program on the Guinness Book

Legislative Memo, volume V, no. 11
MASTER'S BILL ADVANCES IN HOUSE
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
After passage of second substitute bill 2610, March 28 by the Senate with brief comments
by its prime sponsor, Senator A.N. "Bud" Shinpoch, Renton Democrat, the bill was referred
to the House Higher Education Committee. That committee heard the bill April 2 and after
adding an amendment by Representative Phyllis Erickson, Democrat of Parkland, the bill
was moved out do pass by a 10 to 0 vote to the House Rules Committee to be scheduled for
second reading. The Erickson amendment calls on the College to report annually its
progress toward implementing the goals of the Council for Postsecondary Education's recent
report. It no longer calls on the Legislature of 1985 to "determine the need for continuing
the College" but merely states that the 1985 legislature will "review the recommendations
(of the CPE) and act upon them."
In a House Rules Committee meeting April 3, Democratic Speaker of the House John
Bagnariol moved that the bill be placed on the second reading calendar and this action was
approved by voice vote of the 20-member Rules Committee. Floor action, including possible
hostile amendments to the bill, was expected before the end of this week. If no
amendments are added, the bill could conceivably be advanced to third reading in the House
and be moved out by today. Or it may be returned to the Rules Committee for scheduling
for third reading. If the bill passes the House in its present form (with the Higher
Education Committee amendment in tact), then the Senate must decide whether to concur
with the amendment or recede from the amendment and call for conference committee.
Capital budget discussions have begun with the House staff this week and a presentation
of Evergreen's capital needs to the House Appropriation's Subcommittee on Education was
scheduled at 3:30 p.m. April 5.
The cut-off date for returning bills to their House of origin from the other House
is 5 p.m., April 11. Evergreen's Master's bill and all the bills except appropriations,
energy measures, and a few other topical exceptions must be passed by the receiving House
and returned to the House of origin by that time. The Legislature has thus far voided
conference committees because of difficulties in deciding on composition of these committees
ving to the even split in the House of Representatives.
