BONKER SPONSORS WOODWASTE ENERGY SYMPOSIUM HERE TOMORROW
Congressman Don Bonker announced Monday that he will sponsor a day-long symposium on
the use and potential of woodwaste as an alternative energy source from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
tomorrow (May 26) on the fourth floor of the Library.
"We in the Northwest are fortunate to have two renewable energy resources
water
and trees," Bonker said. "We have extensively developed our hydropower potential,"
Bonker said. "But the use of woodwaste holds tremendous but unfilled promise."
Bonker said the Federal Government is very interested in exploring ways to diversify
the country's energy base and to explore alternatives to traditional forms of electric
generation. The Third District Congressman said topics to be covered Saturday include
advanced combustion technologies, cogeneration (producing both electricity and industrial
steam), biomass conversion to alcohol fuels, and the economics of woodwaste utilization.
Speakers and panel members will include Bob Tallman, Director of the Thermal Power
Section, Bonneville Power Administration; Randy Hoskins of Rocket Research; Wayne Meek,
Simpson Timber Company; Craig Chase, Department of Energy; Herb Hunt, Eugene Water and Power;
Ed Taylor, Environmental Protection Agency; Dr. John Randolph; Evergreen faculty physicist.
Admission is free and open to the public.
MASCOT BALLOTS DUE WEDNESDAY
Ballots to select the college's official mascot
appeared in the May 24 issue of The Cooper Point
Journal and are due in the Recreation Center by
5 p.m. Wednesday May 30. Finalists for the competition are the Geoducks, (long the college's
unofficial mascot), the Orcas, Olympians and
Harbor Seals.
Voters are also asked to state their preference
for official campus colors: green and white,
green and gray, green and white and gold, or
green and gray and white.
Mark your ballots now and deliver them to
CRC 302 by May 30. Winners will be announced at
graduation June 3.
TRUSTEES APPROVE B.S. DEGREE; MODIFY TUITION SCHEDULE
Evergreen's Board of Trustees agreed last week to approve creation of the Bachelor
of Science degree program in June and modified the college's tuition and fee schedule,
bringing it in line with their decision earlier this year to drop the use of the Evergreen
unit and adopt the more standard quarter hour as our measure of academic credit.
Because the Bachelor of Science degree proposal was not on the printed agenda,
trustees could not legally move to adopt the recommendation, approved unanimously by the
faculty May 9. Instead, trustees agreed to indicate their intent to approve it at their
next meeting, June 7. Provost Byron Youtz told the board he hoped the new degree would be
available to students graduating this year, even though that may cause some delay in
delivering diplomas.
The new tuition and fee schedule sets fees for full-time study at the current rate,
as required by state law. But trustees reduced the rate out-of-state students would have
to pay for part-time studies, in a policy consistent with that followed by the other
state institutions. The new schedule defines part-time students as those taking nine or
fewer credit hours per quarter; those taking ten or more would pay the full $206 in-state
tuition (or $661 out-of-state). It grants faculty and staff a reduced rate for part-time

- 4study which, for example, saves an employee taking nine credit hours $81 per quarter, while
those taking one or two credit hours would save $18. It deletes the categories of special
students completely and establishes a constant fee of $15 per course for auditors.
MORE $ FOR S & A
Recognizing the special budget problems faced by the Services and Activities planners,
the new schedule also increases the proportion of fees money going into S&A and reduces the
proportion of the total fee going into the tuition account. The move will increase S&A
revenue next year by an estimated nine percent (some 15-20 thousand dollars).
A new Release Time Policy, permitting permanent classified and exempt employees up to
four hours per week release time to enroll in educational courses, was approved, following
the strong recommendation from Personnel Director Rita Cooper, voiced at the trustees April
meeting. The new policy requires employees and supervisors to negotiate arrangements for
"making release time possible for subjects or modes of study not available outside working
hours." The college will continue to encourage employees going to school to select programs
that occur outside working hours. But, when the learning opportunities are available only
during regular work time, employees may request up to four hours per week or ten percent
of their work schedule, whichever is less. Any requests for additional time away from work
must be made up or taken on annual leave. Trustees added a section to Cooper's draft plan,
requiring supervisors to confirm that employees are using their release time for educational
purposes.
Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh told trustees the policy could apply to
some 300 persons, but during the past year only 19 classified employees have signed up for
classes which required release time.
In other action trustees "gratefully accepted" funds creating the Carleton Morris
Cooley Scholarship which will enable Evergreen to grant a $500 scholarship each year in
honor of Cooley, father of Cooperative Education director Barbara Cooley. The new scholar/
ship was arranged by officers of the Lee and Grace Vedder Foundation through an endowment
to Bucknell University. Trustees also clarified a policy on student financial obligations,
adding new statements declaring: "Students are expected to pay all accounts promptly when
due.
Account credit balances resulting from nonrefundable deposits, financial aid awards,
and other overpayments may be offset against any outstanding charges due the college in
the order of established priority guidelines." In other words, if a student has a credit
coming from one area of the campus but owes money to other areas, that credit can now be
applied by Evergreen to debts the student owes.
HUMAN SUBJECTS POLICY APPROVED
A policy outlining procedures for the use of human subjects in academic research was
also approved by trustees, following a short hearing. The policy establishes a Human
Subjects Review Board to approve any such research before it begins. It further requires
the president to review all approvals by the board. If the president determines there is
a "substantial experiment" proposed involving human subjects, he shall submit the proposal
to the trustees for final approval. Purpose of the policy is to "recognize the (college's)
responsibility to protect the rights, well-being and personal privacy of individuals, to
assure a favorable climate for the conduct of academic-oriented inquiry, and to protect
the interests" of Evergreen.
Good news came to the trustees, too. The teacher certification program, just ratified
by the State Board of Education, opened for enrollment on campus May 16 and by May 17
had 65 applicants
and an additional 10 inquiries. In addition, trustees found that
enrollment figures for next fall continue to look good. The number of persons qualified
to register for Fall Quarter 1979 is up 210 over the number applying for Fall 1978 this
f
time last year.

ORCHESTRA STAGES CLASSICAL CONCERT
Classical music for string instruments will be featured in a free public concert
June 1, presented by the Evergreen College-Community Orchestra under the direction of
Faculty Musician Dr. Robert Gottlieb. The concert, set to begin at 7 p.m. Friday in the
Recital Hall of the Communications Building, features 26 high school and college student and
community musicians performing a 60-minute program that begins one hour earlier than

Included in the evening program will be "Chaconne" by Lully, "Concerto Gross Op. 6,
No. 2 in F Major" by Handel, "Rumanian Folk Dances" by Bartok, and "Psalm and Fugue" by
Hovhaness.
KING EXPLORES VIDEO ART FORM SATURDAY

Video technology offers Native Americans a unique opportunity to document special
events and community life as an expression of their oral tradition, says Lovern King,
Evergreen faculty member in communications and video. King will discuss "Video: A New
Indian Art Form" on Saturday, June 2, at 8 p.m., in the Communications Building Recital Hall.
Her free public program is offered to complement Evergreen's showing of the "One With The
Earth" exhibit, a comprehensive collection of Native American art now on display through
June 4 in both the college's Fourth Floor Library Gallery and the State Capitol Museum.
Citing lower costs, the ease of learning to use the technology, and an immediacy of
play back as reasons why video is of greater use than film, King believes that video can
transmit Indian culture in many of the same ways that music, art, dance and talk do in the
"oral tradition." She will illustrate her presentation with color video segments taken
by her and others at a satellite telecommunications project last year at the Crow Agency in
Montana, at a Puyallup salmon ceremony and at other Indian events. Students and video
artists with whom whe has worked will assist her.
Lovern King holds a master's degree in communications from the University of Washington,
where she studied both film and video. King says she has come to see video as the medium
that makes the most sense for Native Americans because it "lets more people into the process"
than does film, with its costly, often extensive editing requirements. "Film is really an
elite medium," she notes thoughtfully, adding that "it's important to have many people
involved in creating community documentaries."
Her presentation on June 2 will explore the flexibility of video for a variety of
uses, with actual demonstrations of the technology.
VISUAL THINKING EXHIBIT OPENS SATURDAY
An exhibit of artworks composed of fiber, fine metals, print media and plastics will

be shown May 26 to June 8 in the Second Floor Library Gallery at Evergreen. Produced by
students in the academic program, "Visual Thinking," the art includes sculpture, jewelry,
hangings, mixed media items, photo etchings, plastic design, and a variety of prints.
Students in the two-quarter group study will each exhibit at least one piece of their/,,
recent works, created with the assistance of Evergreen Faculty Members Jean Mandeberg,
metals specialist; Sande Percival, fiber artist; and Young Harvill, printmaker.
EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS

Eight current or recent Evergreen employees number among the 559 seniors graduating
Sunday, June 3. Earning their long coveted degrees will be Eddie Batacan, Elton Coleman,
Bob Costello, Jim Duncan, Ellie Dornan, Cleveland Green, Judy Lindlauf, and Kris Robinson.
All will have completed their degree during Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer Quarters of
the current academic year
an accomplishment that deserves congratulations and acclaim
from their coworkers. Hear! Hear!
Academic Secretary and Evergreen student Mary Ann Hesse has announced her engagement to
Will Button. Hesse, who is currently on a leave of absence at her family's ranch in
Republic, Washington, has been working as an office manager at Ferry County Memorial Hospital.
Her fiance is employed as a miner for Day Mines and plans to spend the summer following the
rodeo circuit in Washington, Oregon and Idaho before he returns for their late fall wedding.
Faculty Member Greg Steinke has announced his resignation to accept the post of chairman of the music department of Linfield College in Oregon. Among Steinke's many contributions to Evergreen, including participating in the Artist-In-Schools programs and his numerous
performances, are the number of hours he devoted to making the Tuesdays at Eight concert/
lecture series come alive last year and continue this year. His help has greatly aided our
public relations efforts.
Adjunct faculty member Hal Calbom and Evergreen alum Phil Davies have received Emmy
Awards from the Seattle Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences
for two programs they did for "Evergreen Express" on Seattle's KING Television. Calbom,
who teaches film and television scriptwriting, and Davies, a member of the Class of 1974 \d
"William 0. Douglas" and "Mission Improbable."
Recent graduate Nancy Parkes has been hired as a reporter for the Port Angeles Daily
News. Parkes, who worked on the Cooper Point Journal as a student, most recently covered
legislative happenings for the Associated Press and previously gained experience working on
the Daily Olympian.
Faculty Member Bud Johansen is directing the highly reviewed Abbey Players production
of "Kiss Me Kate" playing May 25 and 26 in the Abbey Theater at Saint Martin's College.
Starring in the lead role of this musical adaptation of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew,"
is Evergreen Faculty Member Charles Pailthorp, who is also a 1979 finalist for the Seattle
Opera's Cecilia Schultz auditions. Student Glenn Horton is handling lights and sets for
the production.
Faculty Member Leo Daugherty has an article published in this month's issue of "College
Composition and Communication," the nation's foremost journal on the teaching of writing
at the college level. The journal is published by the National Council of Teachers of
English. Daugherty's article defends the "back to basics" movement in the teaching of
expository prose and is the lead-off essay in this issue.
Legislative Memo Volume V, No. 17
BUDGET IMPASSE CONTINUES
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
The impasse on the budget continued this week, with the Senate still in "rolling
recess," and the House still unable to break the 49-49 deadlock over the Senate version of (
the budget. Various compromise tactics were proposed during the week, but leadership of
each caucus held fast.
As this Newsletter went to press, yet another rumor offered speculation that an
unnamed House Republican would vote with the Democrats Wednesday afternoon CMay 23), and that
the Senate would return for final adjournment this week. Stay tuned.

FACULTY SUPPORT B.S. DEGREE, AGREE TO EXPAND PART-TIME PROGRAM

Evergreen faculty members this week sent recommendations to the Board of Trustees, asking
them to begin awarding Bachelor of Science degrees, and unanimously agreed to an "organized, preplanned and predictable part-time curriculum" which will seek greater interdisciplinary integration with the full-time studies program.
Provost Byron Youtz was expected yesterday to present the proposal for a Bachelor
of Science degree to the Trustees. If they approved the faculty recommendation, Youtz said
he hoped the option for earning a B.S. degree might be open to students graduating next month.
"We've established the criteria for awarding a B.S.," he said. "Many students on campus may
have already met those requirements while working toward their B.A. If they have, it seems
unfair not to award them their B.S. this June."
Proposed requirements, subject to trustee review, call for students to have satisfied
the college's regular graduation requirements. In that process, B.S. candidates would need
to have accumulated at least 72 quarter hours of mathematics or natural science course equivalencies, with at least 48 of those credit hours earned in advanced or upper division work.
Students seeking a Bachelor of Science degree will probably have to file a special application
as they near graduation. That application and the student's transcripts will then be reviewed by a faculty team before the degree can be granted.
B.S. DEGREES FOR THE CLASS OF '79?
While recognizing there are a number of technical obstacles to granting the B.S.
degree at graduation June 3, Youtz hoped the process could be worked out soon enough so members
of the Class of 1979 would be the first to have the option of earning the new degree, an option
strongly recommended to Evergreen by the Council for Postsecondary Education in its report to
the legislature earlier this year.
After recommending the B.S. degree at their May 9 meeting, faculty members moved to
adopt a proposal promoting "expansion of part-time and evening studies in an exciting and
innovative way." Presented to the group by a nine-member faculty study team, the proposal
emphasizes the need to serve working persons in Southwest Washington, and offers suggestions
for the "first steps" toward developing an overall (part-time) curriculum, one that provides
a "high quality liberal arts education" in a "predictable" way with "sufficient coherence" to
enable students to identify degree pathways.
With an eye toward achieving CPE's recommended enrollment goal of 4200 full-time students within the next five years, faculty members agreed to increasing the part-time program,
which Fall Quarter served 287 persons enrolled for one or two units each. This year, faculty
noted, part-time students represented an FTE of only 135 or approximately 6.5 percent of the
enrollment. They agreed to increase that percentage to 10 by 1982-83, which means students
taking one or two Evergreen units would represent 30 percent of the total enrollment head count,
a figure slightly below the average currently enrolled in other colleges studied.
1/2-TIME EQUALS 3/4 LOAD?
Faculty members acknowledged "important social/personal costs" paid by persons who
teach part time, but pointed out the "significant benefits" available to faculty who work with
part-time students, described in the report as "generally serious...challenging and mature..."
Insisting that as much part-time instruction be taught by regular faculty as possible, faculty
Disked for a review of teacher work loads and suggested that those who teach half-time programs
.iould be considered to be carrying three-fourths of a full load.
Recommendations for next year included: developing an evening "state workers" program
staffed by at least two faculty members; continuing the Ajax program during the evenings at
least one quarter; and establishing an offering similar to this year's Evolution Program, which

- 2-

would attract men and women not enrolled in Ajax. Faculty felt part-time studies need to
be clearly advertised during Academic Fairs and asked that each specialty area identify "at
least one part-time option each quarter" and "attempt to provide one part-time evening optiorf-.
during the (regular academic) year." In addition, faculty sought to expand the "core of
courses listed in the 1979-80 Supplement."
Long range recommendations called for developing a "core of service courses" scheduled
a year in advance to enable "effective integration of courses into program curriculum" and
promote "effective utilization of faculty time." Each specialty area was asked to develop by
next spring a list of such courses to be offered regularly during the 1980-81 school year. In
addition, faculty asked the academic deans to "attempt to regularize starting times of generally available courses in the evenings."
A strong push for creating more half-time academic programs was made when faculty asked specialty areas to: identify intermediate or advanced part-time offerings each quarter; insure
that at least one half-time advanced evening offering is taught each year; and explore the
possibility for developing half-time evening introductory level programs in conjunction with
other specialty areas.
To insure a large enough faculty pool to staff the increase in part-time offerings,
the report asked that "faculty be expected to plan and teach at least one half-time evening
offering or two evening courses in each (three-year) contract period." Faculty members also
sought to explore the possibility of having specialty areas provide part-time study for teachers
seeking to complete their fifth year and standard certification requirements.
Once the part-time report was adopted, faculty continued to discuss proposals affecting
individual contracts and internships, curriculum requirements for graduation and for freshmen,
design of career pathways and curriculum predictability. In addition, they heard reports from
student groups working on CPE recommendations. Then they agreed to devote academic dean group
meetings this week and next to discussing those proposals.
Faculty members agreed to convene en masse again on Wednesday, May 30.
HANFMAN TALK TO HIGHLIGHT PORT ANGELES REGISTRATION DAY

-

Dr. Andrew Hanfman, Evergreen faculty member who will teach a new upper division program
on the Olympic Peninsula next year,headlines an "Advising and Registration Day" set for May 23
at Peninsula College.
The new two-year program is being offered in Port Angeles beginning Fall Quarter to
enable Peninsula students to complete their Bachelor of Arts degree in fine arts and humanities
without leaving their home area. The Advising and Registration Day will provide details on
the new study program and offer information on academic planning, admissions policies, financial aid, veterans' benefits, credit transfer and registration procedures.
In addition, the day will feature a noon lecture by Dr. Hanfman on "The Crucial Decade:
The Impact of the 1860s on Modern Culture."
The talk offers what Hanfman calls "a demonstration of what our students will study next year." "We'll examine cultural history in an
interdisciplinary way. We will avoid a parochial view in our studies and focus, instead, on
significant changes in more than one culture," he says.
The new Evergreen program, called "Tradition, Qonflict and Search," will focus on
humanities and arts from the beginning of the 19th Century to the present, combining studies of
literature, music, the visual arts and theater in the context of cultural history, political
theory and philosophy.
GOTTLIEB WINS NEH SUMMER GRANT
Dr. Robert Gottlieb, Evergreen faculty musician, has been selected as one of ten professors from throughout the nation to participate in a Faculty Summer Research Seminar in
Ethnomusicology at the University of Michigan.

Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the seminar will examine "Com- \
parative Studies in Asian and Western Concepts of Music History and Theory," between June 11
and August 3 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The summer study will also give Dr. Gottlieb an opportunity
to conduct preliminary research on the aesthetics of Indian music before he begins a fourmonth stay in India next fall to delve into south Indian classical drumming.

VISITING PHILOSOPHER LECTURES TUESDAY
Professor David Hull, chairman of the Philosophy Department of the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, will visit Evergreen May 22 to present his paper titled
"Altruism in Science: A Sociobiological Model of Cooperative Behavior Among Scientists."
His free public lecture Tuesday begins at 10 a.m. in Lecture Hall Three.
Coming to Evergreen as a visiting philosopher, Dr. Hull's public talk is part of
a two-day grant awarded to TESC by the Council for Philosophical Studies. The Visiting
Philosopher Program is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The
TESC grant also provides an opportunity for Dr. Hull to address Evergreen faculty members
May 23 on "Units of Evolution," a paper he recently presented to biologists at Yale
University.
ELECTRONIC MUSIC CONCERT WEDNESDAY
Original contemporary music by student and faculty composers and performers will
be featured in an evening concert Wednesday, May 23, beginning at 8 o'clock in the
Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building. Evergreen Faculty Musician Dr. Greg
Steinke says students from two of his study groups, Electronic Music Seminar and Advanced
Music Theory, will present their own compositions on a variety of instruments, including
piano, harp, percussion, guitar, oboe, electronic synthesizer and prerecorded tape.
In addition, Dr. Steinke, an accomplished oboist and composer who has worked
closely with the Artist-In-Schools programs, will offer a "retrospective concert" of his
own works, tracing his evolution as a composer from 1962 to the present.
The 90-minute concert carries an admission charge of $1 for students and $1.50
for others.
PELLEGRINI CONCLUDES HERITAGE SERIES
Dr. Angelo Pellegrini, an Italian immigrant who grew up in McCleary, Washington,
says he has spent a lifetime trying to explain the terrific abundance he and his family
found in America at the turn of the century, material and cultural abundance that still
pervades American life. On May 23 Dr. Pellegrini, professor emeritus of English at the
University of Washington, will share his views on "The Old World in the New," at 7:30 p.m.,
at the Olympia Public Library.
Dr. Pellegrini's talk and informal discussion with the audience will be free and
open to the public. His appearance is the final event in the Future of Our Heritage Series,
funded by Washington State Commission for the Humanities and coordinated by the Senior
Center of Thurston County, TESC and other local organizations.
Angelo Pellegrini was 10 years old when his family emigrated from the Tuscany
region of Italy to McCleary to work as laborers on the railroad and in the local mill.
"Everything was strange, remarkably strange," he recalls, "and I was profoundly impressed
by the mountains and other features of the land, so different from our home near Florence,
and by the tremendous abundance in my new environment."
Pellegrini says that his family came in search of "bread," or livelihood, and that
they found it literally overnight. The transition from poverty to plenty left its profound mark on Angelo, the child, and today still fascinates Angelo, the man. He has, in
fact, given much of his personal and scholarly search to explaining the American psyche
and culture that has produced more affluence than most other nations will ever know.
Dr. Pellegrini will meet with students and faculty from the program "As You
Sow" the morning of Thursday, May 24, for an informal exhange of information about foods
and other topics.
At 2 p.m. Thursday, he will hold an informal, public discussion on the books
he has authored, in the periodicals lounge, third floor, main Library.

DANIELS PRESENTS SPRING RECITAL THURSDAY

Lynn Daniels, an Olympia junior at Evergreen, will present her Spring Quarter
vocal recital Thursday, May 24, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's
Communications Building.
Ms. Daniels, a soprano who studied at the Academy of Music in Vienna and earned
her associate of arts degree in music from Cottley College in Missouri before transferring
to Evergreen, will perform Handel's "Aria," accompanied by Olympia harpsichordist Jane
Edge. Also slated for her free Thursday evening performance is a song cycle by Schumann
entitled "Frauenliebe und Leven," which Ms. Daniels will perform accompanied by Evergreen
senior Judith Cohei\n piano.
Daniels is studying voice at Evergreen with faculty musician Joan Winden and is a
featured soloist with the Evergreen Singers, a 30-member vocal group comprised of both
college and community singers.
"A ONE WOMAN SHOW" OFFERED NEXT WEEKEND

Donning white face and satin clothes, Marianne McDonnell will give a "One Woman
Show," on May 25 and 26, at 8 p.m., in the Communications Building Recital Hall. Her
performance, which is free and open to the public, weaves a story on the importance of
being one's self through original compositions, mime, and lyrical characterizations.
McDonnell, an Evergreen senior, bases her theatrical work on the comedia del'arte,
an Italian Renaissance form of performance that stresses characterization and improvisation
and which has created many of the characters and situations still alive through television
comedy today.
"A One Woman Show" is meant to inspire people to be themselves, says McDonnell,
and she promises moments of comedy as well as thoughtfulness. Drama will be interspersed
with original songs and her own accompaniment on piano and guitar. McDonnell composed
her presentation for her senior project, created under individual study contract with
Evergreen faculty member Joye Hardiman. The performance is directed by student Bonnie
Scheel.
Marianne McDonnell will join several performers in Seattle, after her June 3
gradvaation, to form a small theater company.
SPRING JAZZ TO BRIGHTEN 'GASLESS' SUNDAY

A two-hour concert of "Spring Jazz" will brighten the Memorial Day weekend for
gasoline-shorted local audiences when student and professional musicians combine talents

The Sunday evening concert is free and open to the public, offered by Panco as his
graduating music project and his gift to stranded motorists who longed to travel this
weekend but are confined to the nearest gasoline pump.
SINGERS OFFER MAY 29 'RECITAL/DEMONSTRATION1
A dozen Evergreen pianists and singers will combine talents for an evening of
music and song Tuesday, May 29, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communicati((
Building.
Directed by Evergreen Faculty Musicians Dr. William and Mrs. Joan Winden, the
students will present their music in a lecture/performance format, offering an explanation
of their songs. Highlighting their performance will be a presentation of Robert

- 5Schumann's "Dichterliebe," a German song cycle composed in the 1800s and based on the
poetry of Heinrich Heine.
The singers will also present a variety of song literature. The group has been
clustered together by the Windens for this unique recital/demonstration, though each of
the students has been studying on individual contracts with one of the Windens during
Spring Quarter.
Their Tuesday evening concert is free and open to the public.

senior thesis in video
MACCLELLAN SHOWS WORKS IN CHICAGO
At the age of 13, Mary MacClellan, an "A" student, began getting "Ds." Her
concentration faulted, her handwriting became illegible, her vision blurred. Today,
doctors would say she had become "hyperactive with related learning disabilities." But
for Mary the next decade meant struggles with unexplained moods that jiggled up and down,
energetic one day, listless the next. She enrolled at the University of Washington

and flunked out.
She faced, it seemed, defeat after defeat. Then she met Dr. Phillip Lindsey, a
Seattle psychiatrist, who diagnosed her condition as a chemical imbalance known as manic
depressive illness and prescribed treatments of Lithium, a salt compound used centuries
ago by Greeks and Romans to control mood changes.
Now Mary's preparing to graduate from Evergreen in June
and her senior thesis
includes two films which demonstrate the dramatic improvements Mary and persons similarly
affected have gained through the stabilization achieved with Lithium.
This week Mary has been presenting films to a national convention to which she has
been especially invited.
Attracting more than 10,000 persons from throughout the country, most of them
doctors, the American Psychiatric Association meets in Chicago for four days this week,
and Mary's films on the medical and social aspects of manic depressive illness will be
featured as part of the convention's scientific displays.
Narrated by Dr. Lindsey and Dr. Joseph Dubey of Olympia, the films, she says, "are
designed to teach residents in psychiatry what this illness is like from both the
doctor's and the patient's points of view." She says the films "will eventually be used
for training staff in medial schools, hospitals and other mental health facilities.
It appears her trip to Chicago will open the doors for Mary to share her work with just
those persons.
Mary says after four years of treatment on Lithium, she had regained her self
confidence enough
and her coordination, vision and concentration had improved
sufficiently
for her to return to school. She came to Evergreen where she believed
faculty were "more likely" to offer her opportunities for achieving her own academic
goals at her own pace. For Mary, that's meant she has been able to tackle and complete an
ambitious academic project
and do so on a tight, self-imposed schedule.
She first studied with faculty scientist Dr. Elizabeth Kutter, a biophysicist who
had added chemistry and nutrition to her academic repertoire. Combining her studies
with Dr. Kutter and her creative talents in writing, Mary soon began to explore film media
with Evergreen faculty chemist (and seasoned filmmaker) Dr. Robert Barnard. Later she
also worked with staff video expert Dick Fuller, gaining skills in working with that
medium.
Her studies came to the attention of Carlton Moss, a Los Angeles filmmaker and
professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. He came to campus and offered
Mary "step-by-step directions" on how to produce her work. In addition, he introduced
her to persons at UCLA who viewed her work and rated it "the best available study of its
kind on what it's like to live with a chemical imbalance of this type."
The UCLA reviewers passed on their recommendations to persons planning the national
convention this week, and Mary was on her way.
When she returns, Mary plans to begin a third production for showing at a regional
meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in New Orleans in September. This work

- 6will focus on how to "overcome the demoralization of living with the kinds of defeats
these imbalances promote," she says.
Legislative Memo Volume V, No. 16
BUDGET BICKERING BECOMES A BROU HA HA, SOLONS* SELF-BANISHMENT ENSUES
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
Senate and House Democrats reached agreement on the latest Senate version of
the budget (last week's memo) but were unable to gain agreement on the budget from
House Republicans. The Senate responded with the first of what was threatened to be
a series of "rolling recesses" in which it would recess for the allowable three days,
and then bring a handful of senators back together to establish another recess, lacking
a quorum. The House meanwhile took up an ambitious calendar of House and Senate
bills and House Republicans threatened to go into a recess of their own. In addition
to the features of the budget outlined in Memo No. 15, the Senate version contained
the following:
1. Three percent of all agency budgets to be placed in reserve pending
release by the Governor, after her assessment of the accuracy of revenue
estimates on which the budget was based.
2. An "enrollment band" of 3 percent of the target enrollment for TESC,
allowing Evergreen to retain its appropriated level even if its enrollment
falls below the target, so long as the short-fall does not exceed 3 percent.
Other institutions were allowed bands of a smaller percentage.
3. A provision that "expenditures shall be authorized for the rental of
off-campus classroom facilities by Community College District #12 programs
(OTCC-Centralia) when such rentals would not reduce the current utilization
of facilities already constructed on either of its campuses."
4. A requirement that the Council for Postsecondary Education "develop
a faculty salary schedule accommodating the full-time regular faculty members
of the four-year public institutions, taking into consideration periodic
longevity increments and traditional faculty rank differences."
5. A provision that "if The Evergreen State College's enrollments for the
first year of the biennium exceed the contract level, additional funding
will be considered."
This language might be considered by some as meaningless, as the chances for a
special session in which additional funding might be considered are extremely remote
in an election year.
GOVERNOR VETOES S & A BILL
House Bill 194, calling for student participation in the Services and Activity
fee budget process, was vetoed by the Governor early this week. Several student groups
expressed concern over the veto of the bill. It would have mandated student involvement
in the budgetary process, which determines how S and A fee money is spent.
Other bills relating to higher education which became law this session include:
Senate Bill 2194, increasing to $17,500 the limit above which capital projects must be
put out to bid; Senate Bill 2406, establishing a pilot project for displaced homemakers;
House Bill 126, making unlawful the selling of term papers; House Bill 419, allowing
the sale of liquor at the University of Washington faculty center; and Senate Bill 2923,
exempting veterans of the Vietnam War from tuition and fee increases.
EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS

Faculty Member Bill Winden opens a one-man show of his watercolor paintings Tuesday
at the Haines Gallery in Seattle. The exhibit, called "Ancestral Portraits, Forests and
Water" remains on display through June 10 and features new works Winden has completed this

EVERGREENERS TO BLITZ SIX COMMUNITY COLLEGES THIS MONTH

An energetic team of Evergreen students, faculty and staff will "blitz" six
community colleges within the next three weeks as part of the expanding recruitment effort
being conducted with the guidance of Duke Kuehn, special assistant to President Dan Evans.
Purpose of the visits to Green River, Centralia, Bellevue, Fort Steilacoom, Clark
and Tacoma Community Colleges is, says Kuehn, to share the news of Evergreen's program
offering* with community college students who want to continue their education
beyond completion of their two year degree.
"We've found that Evergreen is just the kind of college many of these potential
transfer students are looking for," Kuehn says, "but many of them don't know much about us.
Some don't even know we exist."
To make sure such lack of information does not continue, a crew of Enrollment Services
personnel will combine efforts with students and faculty on all day visits, set to begin
at 10 a.m. each day on a community college campus and continue until 8 o'clock each night.
Goal of the effort, which is being coordinated by Associate Library Dean Dave
Carnahan, and a group of students from the Image and Marketing Group of the Symposium, is
;o make contact with as many students as possible, to let them know that Evergreen exists,
and is ready to serve them.
Student teams are visiting each college ahead of time to announce the coming of TESC
representatives. Then on the day of the actual visit, Greeners will have a special fourpage newspaper, especially targeted to the school being visited and packed full of information
on ways those students can transfer into applicable Evergreen programs. The tabloids are
the work of Kuehn, College Relations editor Carolyn Byerly and Graphic Designer Rick Hess.
Also on hand will be a variety of Evergreen displays, student musicians and actors, and
faculty members prepared to talk to classes in their subject areas.
Volunteers are still being sought to make one or more of the six visits: Centralia,
May 16; Bellevue, May 17; Green River, May 22; Fort Steilacoom, May 23; Tacoma, May 24; and
Clark, May 30. Persons interested in helping are encouraged to contact Carnahan in Library
2300 or to stop by the information table in the main mall of the College Activities Building.
TALENTED TYPES SOUGHT FOR SUPER SATURDAY

Plans for SUPER SATURDAY, Evergreen's first full-blown Spring Festival, have gained
the cosponsorship of the Olympia-Area and Lacey Chambers of Commerce, plus the encouragement
of supporters for both of Thurston County's major summer events, Lakefair and the MAD
Consortium. Invitations have gone out to more than a dozen high school and community musical

Three major art exhibits have been lined up for the day-long festival, which runs
from 10 aim. to dark on the central campus plaza, A variety of sport events have also been
announced, including a skateboard ralley to be conducted by Doug Hitch, a Softball game,
one muddy tug-of-war contest, a rappell party, racketball tourney, and a number of what
lard-core joggers call "fun runs".
Cochaired by Larry Stenberg and Judy Annis, the festival committee has purchased
some 1,000 SUPER SATURDAY balloons for distribution, arranged for flyers and posters to
cover the community by the end of next week, and sought to spread the word throughout the
campus that persons interested in performing, selling, demonstrating or exhibiting their
talents are welcome.

- 2"We're especially seeking arts demonstrations, performances by student musical
or theatrical groups, and academic displays and exhibits which can be staffed throughout
the day," says Annis. "We want this to be both a giant Evergreen open house where we can
really show our neighbors what we've accomplished here this year
and a celebration of
the coming of summer," she adds. "We're working with the Lakefair Capitalarians and the

/
\D C

festivals, set for July and August, respectively, and they can enjoy ours.
Persons interested in selling anything on campus that day need to fill out a form
and pay a fee of $5 for student groups, $10 for non-profit organizations or $15 for private
businesses. Forms are also required for entertainers and are available now at the Information Center.

Volunteers are also needed to work that day

and to welcome the community to

campus. Call 866-6128 or stop by the Information Center if you're willing to share your
talent on SUPER SATURDAY.
NAME THE MASCOT COMPETITION ANNOUNCED
Members of the Sports Advisory Task Force are seeking nominations for the college's
"official" mascot according to Pete Steilberg, director of recreation and campus activities.
"We're really asking Evergreen students, faculty and staff to seriously consider
what mascot they intend to represent our future sports teams," says Steilberg. "The
majority of the committee really hopes this becomes a ratification of the Geoduck, our
unofficial mascot since the college opened. But we feel now is the time
before we actually
field any teams
for the college to officially declare its mascot preference."
Steilberg says nominations for the college symbol may be delivered to his office,
CRC 302, through Friday, May 18. The following Monday, the Sports group will narrow the
suggestions down to five or six finalists whose names will appear on a ballot in the May 24
issue of the Cooper Point Journal. Ballets will be due in CRC 302 no later than Wednesday,
May 30, so the choice can be announced at graduation Sunday, June 3. Winner of the
balloting will adorn campus uniforms and other sports-related paraphernalia.
PTF_TO__PPNDER_FUTU^_OF OUTDOOR ED
The future of Outdoor Education at Evergreen, associated since the college began with
the late Willi Unsoeld, has been placed in the hands of a disappearing task force by
academic dean Will Humphreys.
Because many persons believe "Willi was Evergreen's Outdoor Education program,"
Humphreys told DTF members, "his death has thrown the future of that program area into total
disarray." Humphreys recognizes that the strong tie between Unsoeld and Outdoor Ed "is
often exaggerated," but says "there's enough truth to that popular belief that the future
of the program has to be reexamined."
Short term actions, taken after the March 4 accident that took the lives of Unsoeld
and student climber Janie Diepenbrpch while on an Outdoor Ed expedition on Mount Rainier
included hiring Erik Leroy as a substitute faculty member for this year's program. Leroy,
a former student of UnsoeldTs and employee of Outward Bound in Oregon, has made other plans
for next year and will not stay at Evergreen beyond Spring Quarter.
Plans for next year have "tentatively been made" to offer a year-long group contract
in Outdoor Ed for up to 20 intermediate-to-advanced students, Humphreys says, and a search
has begun for an appropriate person to teach it. Assistant Academic Dean Jeanne Hahn says
the program "may be modeled after the "Wilderness and Consciousness" study program Willi
taught five or six years ago. But," she adds, "that's a decision not yet set in concrete."
For long-range solutions, the deans have turned to the DTF, which Humphreys hopes
will seek answers to a number of questions, including exploration of how "nationally known
programs at other institutions are operated and how those compare with Evergreen," what
specialty area Outdoor Ed belongs in, and what kind of faculty commitment is needed. He (
also seeks suggestions on "what statements of philosophy might be drawn up to guide future
studies," and "what conditions need to be set regarding safety and risk." In addition, the
dean has asked comnittee members to examine a soon-to-be-completed report, from a group of

- 3-

outside experts, on the March 4 accident.
The deans hope a preliminary report from the DTF will be available at the June 13
faculty retreat at Fort Flagler, and a final report will be done early in the fall so
Outdoor Ed can be considered in planning for the 1980-81 curriculum.
TRUSTEES CONVENE THURSDAY

Evergreen's Board of Trustees will conduct two public hearings at their regular
meeting on Thursday, May 17, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112. The hearings will
consider final action on an amendment to a policy defining financial obligations of students,
and a policy establishing guidelines on use of human subjects in academic research.
In addition, the board is expected to hear reports from Assistant to the President
Duke Kuehn on progress being made toward completing recommendations from the Enrollment
Design Disappearing Task Force, and from Director of Recreation and Campus Activities Pete
Steilberg on plans toward launching inter-collegiate sports at Evergreen next fall. Affirmativ<
Action Officer Mary Isabel is on the agenda with a report from her office, and a proposal
establishing staff release time for academic work will also be considerd, with strong
support from Personnel Director Rita Cooper.
In addition, trustees may review proposed revisions to the tuition schedule resulting
from the decision to change the college's measure of credit from units to quarter hours.
The meeting is open to the public.
TIMBERLINE STUDENTS HERE WEDNESDAY

Timberline High School students will explore the academic world of "sociobiology"
at Evergreen Wednesday, May 16 when they attend a mini-conference offered by students and
faculty concerned with the study of this emerging new field. The session, set from 9:30 a.m.
to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, will feature an introductory lecture on sociobiology by faculty
biologist Dr. Robert Sluss. He'll explore with high schoolers the foundation of the study,
which examines animal and human behavior from an evolutionary standpoint, applying the work
of Darwin to modern correlations about human behavior.
Explaining some of the controversy surrounding the study and "some of the mistakes"
of sociobiologists will be Dr. Sally Mendoza, who will offer a 10:30 a.m. lecture exploring
"why sociobiology is often inappropriately applied to both animal and human primate
behavior." Dr. Mendoza, a research associate at TESC, taught "Biological Bases of Human
Social Behavior" at Evergreen last Spring Quarter, immediately after she had completed her
doctorate at Stanford University in psychobiology.
Following the lectures, Evergreen students studying "The Human Condition", which
includes emphasis on sociobiology, will offer Timberline students small workshops aimed at
more closely examining the topic and at permitting questions and discussion.
The May 9 mini-conference is the creation of Evergreen Faculty Member Jeff Frohner
and Timberline High School social studies teacher Ralph Heino, who have been combining
efforts to bring Evergreen resources to the Lacey high school. Frohner has arranged for
Evergreen faculty members to share their expertise with students in Timberline's
International Relations classes, and he's worked closely with Timberline teacher Sharon
Thomas to provide TESC faculty lectures to her Advance Placement English classes.
Offering lectures on international relations have been professors Dr. Thomas Rainey
discmssimg Russian history; Dr. Andrew Hanfman, the role of the intelligence community
in international relations; and Dr. Peta Henderson, sharing her studies of Cuba. In addition,
Admissions Director Arnaldo Rodriguez, a native of that island nation, discussed Cuba with
Timberline students.
Thomas's students, who are preparing for advanced precollege placement tests in
English, will have heard a total of 10 lectures by Evergreen faculty members on books
:hey're reading second semester. Offering lectures have been Dr. Leon Sinclair on "The Old
Man and the Sea," Dr. Rudy Martin on "The Great Gatsby," Dr. Peter Elbow on "Hamlet,"
Dr. David Powell on "Death of a Salesman," Stephanie Coontz on "The Doll's House," and
Frohner on "The Sun Also Rises." Additional faculty lectures are scheduled at Timberline
before school ends in June.

upcoming events
JAZZ ARTISTS KELLY AND PERCIVAL PLAY TUESDAY
Red Kelly and Jack Percival, a dynamic jazz duo who have enlivened the sounds of
Thurston County for the past five years, come to Evergreen May 15 to close the 1978-79 Tuesdays at Eight concert/lecture series. Kelly, jazz bassist extraordinare and former owner
of the Tumwater Jazz Conservatory, plays with his long-time pianist, Percival, beginning at
8 p.m. Tuesday in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building. Tickets go on
sale at 7:30 p.m. for $2.50 general admission or $1.50 students.
Promising to bring a "special surprise performer" with him, Kelly comes to TESC via
a long route through the music business begun in Seattle in the late 1940s. A native of
Montana, Kelly says he's always considered Seattle his home and he plans to return to the
Queen City May 11-13 to play at Parnell's, a populafjazz spot in Pioneer Square not far from
where he first began playing drums and bass while attending Queen Anne High School. His
talents and itchy feet soon took him on the road to play with the jazz greats, including
a 14-year hitch with Harry James, and ample opportunity to play with Woody Herman, Stan Kenton,
Charlie Barnett, Claude Thornhill and others.
The urge to settle down "just a bit" came in the 1970s when Kelly and his wife,
Donna, bought the former Oregon Trail restaurant in Tumwater and promptly turned it into thf
county's first jazz club, attracting customers and performers, alike, from throughout
the Pacific Northwest.
Joining Kelly at the Conservatory in 1974 was Percival, a seasoned jazz artist who
earned his academic credentials at the University of Idaho and his musician's stripes during
five years as a Las Vegas performer, followed by 17 more with the Harry James Orchestra.
The Conservatory closed last spring, but Kelly and Percival continue to return to
Thurston County for evening performances at the Governor House while they plan a future
conservatory "sometime in the near future" in Seattle.
Their Tuesdays at Eight concert, the first jazz performance of the series, concludes
the weekly Recital Hall events for the current academic year.
"THE SEAGULL" OPENS THURSDAY
Anton Chekhov's classic and beautiful story "The Seagull" opens for the first of eight
productions with a cast of 12 student actors Thursday, May 17, at Evergreen. Directed by
faculty dramatist Ainara Wilder, the performances begin at 8 o'clock the evenings of May
17-20 and May 24-27 in the Experimental Theater of Evergreen's Communications Building.
The Russian comedy, set on a country estate, offers the reflective tale of four
artists, two actresses and two writers, whose lives exemplify Chekhov's belief that, to
create universal art, artists must evidence stamina, persistence and the "knowing and living
of life, in addition to the exercise of their talents," says Wilder.
At the center of the tale are: the actress Irina Arkadina, played by Amy Fowkes,
who disguises her age and allows her own self indulgence to dim opportunities for her son;
Constantine Treplev, a young and frustrated writer played by Tim Streeter, who is suffocated
by the country atmosphere and lack of stimulation; Nina Zarechny played by Mary Schickling,/
a young woman who leaves the country to become an actress in the city; and Boris Trigorin,
played by Ted Roisum, an aging writer who becomes involved with Nina and Constantine in a
triangle of emotions.
Also cast in the Russian drama are David Raddatz, Becky McAninch, Kit McCormick,

Joe Rice, Ed Kaye, David Tinny, James Bass, and Richard Lewis. Costumes for the Spring
Quarter production are the creation of Jean Elliot, Alyseum Lamb and Didi Mitchell; set design
is by Kevin Porter and Peter Waldron; and stage management is performed by Jo Charras.
Advance tickets for "The Seagull" are available at $3 general admission or $1.50 for
students and senior citizens at Yenney's Music in Olympia and at the Evergreen Bookstore.
They'll also be sold at the door of the Communications Building the evenings of May 17-20
and May 24-27.
NELSON OFFERS NATIVE AMERICAN ART LECTURES MAY 18, 21

Native American art from two vastly different regions will be compared and contrasted
in a pair of slide/lectures May 18 and 21 by Mary F. Nelson, Colville artist and Evergreen
faculty member in art, education and anthropology.
Slated to share her slides and research in public programs Friday and Monday evenings
beginning at 8 o'clock in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building, Nelson
says her talks will provide a "comparative analysis between works created by Native Americans
in a number of Canadian tribes and those completed by Pueblos and Navajos in the Southwestern
United States."
Both her programs are offered to complement Evergreen's showing of the "One With The
Earth" exhibit, a comprehensive collection of Native American art now on display through
June 4 in both the college's Fourth Floor Library Gallery and the State Capitol Museum.
Concentrating on Pacific Northwest Art on May 18, Mrs. Nelson, who earned the tribal
name of Sne-nah, will share slides she and her students took in a trip to British Columbia
to visit artists of the Tshimshian, Kwakiutl, and Haida tribes, as well as those in a number
of smaller Canadian groups.
The following Monday, she'll contrast these Pacific Northwest works with those prepared in New Mexico and Arizona where she and students visited 12 of 19 Pueblo reservations,
in addition to trips to several Navajo communities. Highlighting the May 21 lecture will
je a slide show on the works of Helen Cordero, a Cochiti Pueblo potter.
Admission to both talks is free.
SINGERS SLATE SUNDAY CONCERT MAY 20

The Evergreen Singers, a 30-member choir comprised of students and community vocalists,
presents its major Spring Quarter Concert Sunday, May 20, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital
Hall of the Communications Building. Directed by faculty member Joan Winden, the Singers
will present Randall Thompson's "Americana" based on five newspaper clippings from the
American Mercury, a publication of the 1920s.
Student director Scott Stenshoel will take the baton as the Singers perform popular
favorites by George M. Cohen, and student Douglas Albertson will direct the group as it
sings several sacred selections. Highlighting the evening concert will be a presentation of
"Raegina Coeli" by Mozart, sung by the 13-voice Evergreen Ensemble, featuring four student
soloists. The Ensemble will also present a number of German folk songs arranged by Brahms.
The concert is among the final performances for this academic year by the Evergreen
Singers, who have graced the stages at a number of local events within the past two quarters,
Winden says. Concerts at the State Capitol Rotunda on Easter, at the final Sunday Musicale
of the State Capitol Museum, and at memorial services held in honor of former state
legislators are but a few of the public appearances made by the group. The Singers will
stage their final appearance June 2 at an Evergreen production called "Danceworks" to be
directed by faculty dancer Meg Hunt.
STUDENTS TO STAGE "SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY"

Three dozen characters from the American classic "Spoon River Anthology" by Edgar
Lee Masters will come to life in four Thurston County performances beginning this week.
Directed by Faculty Member Andre Tsai, Evergreen students will dramatize the 1915 collection
before students at Capitol High School May 15 and at North Thurston High May 16. They'll

- 6.also offer public performances at the Capital Mall Saturday, May 19, beginning at 1 p.m.
and at Evergreen on Thursday, May 24, beginning at noon in the Recital Hall of the
Communications Building.
Admission to all the performances, which are part of a two-week tour of appearances "
being presented by the Evergreen students, is free.
The "Spoon River Anthology" became an instant and notorious success when it first
appeared because its more than 240 characters strongly resembled persons acquainted with
Masters. He described "themes considered scandalous in 1915, and depicted persons from
all walks of American life dealing with marital incompatibility, crimes of violence,
sexual starvation and disillusionment with life," according to director Tsai.
Evergreen students performing in the traveling production include Rita Sammons, Linda
Olivas Mathews, David Schneider, Randall Curtis, Joel Barnes and Jace Knievel, whose
appearances will be accompanied by songs and dance, with set design and lighting arranged
by student Ben Fuchs.
The group will also appear at Seattle's Queen Anne High School May 17, Green River
Community College May 22 and Fort Steilacoom Community College May 23.
DRAFT REINSTATEMENT TO BE DISCUSSED WEDNESDAY
Pending federal legislation to reinstate the draft will be the topic of a communitywide public discussion Wednesday, May 16, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall Three at
Evergreen.
Led by Bob Baird of the Olympia Friends Meeting, the discussion will focus on national
and international affects of various proposed forms of draft reinstatement.
The Wednesday evening meeting is jointly sponsored by the Olympia Fellowship of
Reconciliation, Thurston County Ministries in Higher Education, Evergreen Political Information
Center and TESC's Third World Coalition.
Admission is free.

TUESDAYS AT EIGHT LECTURERS LAUDED
Special thanks goes out this week to eight Evergreen faculty members, two community
presidents, and two students for their contributions to the Tuesdays at Eight lecture series.
The series, designed to both enrich campus activities and provide yet another means of reaching out to neighboring communities with special programming, presented a total of 11 public
lectures, beginning in November and climaxing this week with a "Visit to Polynesia."
For $1 per trip, regular lecture goers were able to travel to Ethiopia, the Galapagos
Islands, Puget Sound waters, Nepal, the South Pacific, Australia, Africa, France, Spain,
China, Cuba and Japan. In all cases, the speakers received no remuneration beyond the
applause of their appreciative audience, comprised each week of an equal number of college
and community persons.
Tuesdays at Eight committee members extend special thanks and gratitude to Faculty
Members Oscar Soule, Dave Milne, Al Wiedemann,Bill Brown, Gordon Beck, Peta Henderson, Hiro
Kawasaki, and Eric Larson. In addition, thanks are en route to community women Judith Olmstead and Pat Larson, and to student Michael Price and alum John Calambokidis for their
public presentations.
"This series offered not only very special and educationally worthwhile entertainment,"
says Judy Annis, organizer for the lectures, "But the income gained from the talks supported
the concert series, which featured 12 performances by a variety of musical groups
and
also helped us sponsor the successful appearance
by the Bill Evans Dance Company."
The Tuesdays at Eight series concludes next week with a lively concert by jazz artists
Red Kelly and Jack Percival. Admission is only $2.50 general or $1.50 for students. Jazz
fans, don't miss this one!
CAMPUS SPEED LIMITS ENFORCED; NEW HOURS FOR LOST AND FOUND
Campus Security reports that driving f;aster than posted campus speed limits is continuing despite the increased number of pedestrians and bicycles on college roadways.
To make sure that posted limits are honored, Security says Washington State Patrol and Thurston County Sheriff's officers will be on campus this quarter, checking for traffic violations.
They have the authority to issue citations on campus and to effectively drain portions of
your wallet.'
On another topic, Security reports it has begun handling lost and found items in a
different manner. Persons missing "low value" property are asked to check with Security
between 11 and 11:30 a.m. or 6 to 6:30 p.m. weekdays only. Persons missing items of
"higher value" (such as wallets, jewelry, etc.)may check anytime.
QUESTIONNAIRE ON HUMAN RESOURCES COMING
Evergreen's Counseling Center staff, aided by student Mark Collins, will be seeking
information from students and employees on services they provide to students
and plan to
continue providing during the coming academic year. Collins says he is compiling a guide
to human services at Evergreen and in the nearby community. To make sure his information is
complete, he will distribute a questionnaire on campus May 17.
Purpose of the new guide, he says, "will be to offer students more accurate information
on services available to them
both new and continuing students who may not be aware so
many resources are at their disposal."
Deadline for returning the questionnaires is May 24, so Collins can deliver final copy
to the printer by mid June. By the first of July, he'll have copies available, which should
be a welcome addition to students joining us for Fall Quarter. Questions on the project may
be directed at Collins at 866-6151.

a second "overseas report"
ALEXANDER OFFERS MORE NEWS AND VIEWS FROM JAPAN
Faculty Member Richard Alexander, teaching in an exchange program at Kobe University*
of Commerce in Tarumi-ku Japan, this past week reports he recently attended the 50th anniversary of that school. Featured speaker for the celebration was an alum of Kobe who founded
and serves as president of a prefabricated housing firm. He offered views on business strategy
and ethics, including advice for future businessmen: "If you fight hard, always you will win."
He urged businessmen to devote "100 percent of their time to their businesses and another 50
percent of their time to encouraging other small entrepreneurs." Business, he told Kobe
listeners, "must be conducted not to make profits but to ensure survival." He has eliminated
time clocks at his firm and begun a fight to make 79 the mandatory age for retirement. He
also insists that Japanese businesses need to finance elaborate training programs for their
employees in general culture, foreign languages, technological advances and new skills, as
well as in "training in pride in and loyality to their company."
Alexander reports his new home town is one of the oldest areas of Japanese settlement
and includes 100 pre-historic burial mounds and a great number of ancient Shinto shrines and
Buddhist temples. The city is a "bedroom community, definitely middle class and upper-middle
class." The university, known as Shodai locally, was founded as a commercial high school and
became a college "only under the American occupation," our historian reports.
Shodai was deserted as Alexander wrote because of a transportation strike which led
to school closure. The strike lasted less than 24 hours, but it confirmed "much that we have
heard about Japanese unions and labor disputes," he says. For details, you'll have to read
the letter yourself.
Beautifully written, the letters are unfairly treated in this Newsletter, which must
edit and cut them due to space limitations. Because they are of interest, we've posted
xerox copies of volumes 1 and 2 at the Information Center. We'll continue to offer tasty
excerpts in this publication, but we encourage you to read the unabridged versions yourself
for a truely accurate picture of "Japan through the eyes of Richard."

Imagine, teaching 47 Japanese students, many of whom lacked a sufficient command of
the English language.... and having to draw up elaborate lecture notes, complete with Japanese
translations of difficult terms...Imagine
no one handy to discuss Evergreen with...

EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
Graduate Lynn Wisehart stopped in last week from Bozeman, Montana to report she has
recently completed a 2,600-mile trek from Mexico to Canada along the Continental Divide.
Wisehart was a member of the first all-woman team to complete the seven-month hike which
was partially supported by National Geographic Magazine. A photographer, she has developed
a slide/tape presentation on the "walk/adventure" and promises to show it at Evergreen next
fall. In the meantime, she's working on a grant from the Montana Commission for the Humanities
to document the lives of "women who are strong role models" for students 12 years of age
and older. Her work will be shown in Montana's public schools to help youngsters explore
career options.
Becky Liebman, newly elected president of the Farmer's Market and a 1976 graduate,
called to offer special praise and thanks to Evergreen students who spent much of the winter
volunteering their time to construct pieces of the Market's shelter. Liebman says TESC
architect Max Knauss donated plans for the open-sided structure under which local farmers
will gather to sell their produce May 18-October 31 in a lot across from Olympia City Hall on
Plum Street. She said students from the Organic Farm "provided the core of workers" needed
to construct the pieces, which were used to build one large shelter at a recent community
barnraising.
It was a service to the community for which Liebman thought students deserved
special praise and gratitude.

Legislative Memo Volume V, No. 15
BUDGET BOUNCES BETWEEN HOUSES
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
Last week's Senate version of the budget was rejected by the House, which in turn
asked the Senate to abandon its amendment and accept the House version. The Senate refused
to do so, revising its version and returning it to the House, which again rejected it. The
process was repeated again, and at this writing, the new Senate version has been rejected
47-50 by the House.
The new Senate version reduces Evergreen's budget by $795,000 in instructional services
(all four-year schools suffered similar reductions) and adopts the House salary recommendations: classified staff would get 5%, 9% and 6% raises on July 1, October 1, 1979 and
October 1, 1980, respectively; faculty and exempt would receive 5.7%, 5.6% and 6% on
September 1, 1979, October 1, 1979 and October 1, 1980, respectively^^ffi*^

...TRUSTEES APPROVE TEACHER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM...Evergreen's Board of Trustees on
April 26 approved a teacher certification agreement with the University of Puget Sound,
which will enable TESC students to enroll in formal teacher preparation courses taught by
UPS faculty members on campus next fall. The program, sought with the encouragement of both
the Council for Postsecondary Education and the State Legislature, is designed to accommodate up to 30 students in the 1979-80 school year. It will provide not only required
courses in primary and secondary teacher certification, but coursework appropriate for
teachers seeking continuing certification (or fifth year) academic work.
Provost Byron Youtz told trustees the contract with UPS is subject to discussion on
May 11 by the State Board of Education. But, he expressed optimism that the program will
be favorably received and that by fall Evergreen students will be enrolled half-time in UPStaught teacher courses and half-time in Evergreen-taught "subject-area" work.
Provost Youtz also informed trustees that the college intends to drop its "Evergreen
unit" as a measure of academic credit and adopt the quarter credit hour system used by

"best meeting in years"
TRUSTEES APPROVE TEACHER EDUCATION CONTRACT
By Judy Annis, Director of Information Services

It was a "good news" day at the Board of Trustees meeting April 26. By the end of
the meeting, trustees had approved a teacher certification agreement with the University of
Puget Sound and a new faculty salary schedule, ratified a plan to establish separate Services
and Activities programs at present and future Evergreen outreach programs and learned that
admissions for Fall Quarter appear to be on the upswing. As one trustee commented, "I
can't believe my ears; this has been the best meeting in years."
The Teacher Certification program, sought with the encouragement of both the Council
for Postsecondary Education and the State Legislature, will enable Evergreen students to
enroll in formal teacher preparation courses taught by UPS faculty members here beginning
Fall Quarter. Designed to accommodate up to 30 students in the 1979-80 school year, the
new program will provide required courses in primary and secondary teacher certification
and will also seek to offer coursework appropriate for teachers seeking continuing certification (or fifth year academic work).
ED PROGRAM OPEN BY FALL

Provost Byron Youtz said the $28,665 contract with UPS is subject to discussion May 11
by the State Board of Education. But, he expressed optimism that the program will be
favorably received and that by fall Evergreen students will be enrolled half-time in UPStaught teacher courses and half-time in Evergreen-taught "subject area" work. He pointed
out that Evergreen faculty members "remain in charge of" TESC students' education, except
for the specific ed courses taught by UPS.
The new arrangement will enable Evergreeners to complete their state-required practice
teaching under UPS guidance. In addition, Youtz says it will permit Evergreen to design
evening or weekend courses for teachers who seek to complete 45 credit hours of additional
college work necessary for them to receive credentials. Half of their fifth year work
must be done at the institution where they completed their original teaching certificate;
the other half can be done at any accredited institution and does not have to be graduate
level. The 45-hours of work is supposed to help teachers "fill in" gaps they've discovered
in their own preparation.
The UPS contract, effective through June, 1981, provides for doubling the education
program for the 1980-81 school year. If enrollment either year surpasses that agreed to
(30 in 1979-80; 60 in 1980-81), UPS has agreed to "allow qualified TESC faculty to assume
teaching responsibility for those additional students."
Students enrolling in the "professional education sequence" will generally be third
year Evergreeners. When they've completed the program, they will receive their bachelors
degree from TESC and a recommendation for provisional certification from UPS.
NEW SALARY SCHEDULE APPROVED

The impact of inflation prompted trustees to approve a new faculty salary schedule
that doesn't change the maximum salary a professor can earn at the top of each step, but
gives faculty middle steps between those established in the original pay schedule. As
Youtz explained, some of the steps between raises for faculty are six to seven years long.
In these years of inflation, this has meant faculty have been able to watch their buying
power sharply diminish as they await moving to the next step. A team of faculty members

— 2 —
and budget officer Mike Bigelow devised the new schedule to permit annual faculty step
increases at a constant rate of increase. Funds for the transition from the former
schedule to the new one will be possible, Youtz noted, if state employee salary increases
approved by the Legislature are at least 7 percent.
Complicating the long-range picture of faculty salaries, Youtz noted, is a plan,
supported by the Council of Presidents, to create a uniform faculty schedule at all six
state institutions of higher learning. He said that change "could come within the next
two to four years," but urged that trustees not make faculty wait for a change that "might
happen," when inflation is impacting paychecks with such a devastating result. Trustees
approved the proposal without dissent.
NEW S & A PROCEDURES APPROVED
Expenditure of Services and Activities Fees by students in outreach programs drew
board attention when two students from the Vancouver program sought a portion of S & A
monies for their campus. In a lunch-time conference with Administrative Vice President
Dean Clabaugh, a proposal was devised for automatically allocating 75 percent of S & A fees
generated by outreach programs, located 50 miles or further from Olympia, to those campuses.
Under this plan the Vancouver campus would immediately establish an S & A board with a
coordinator to devise a plan to allocate some $4,500 for activities at "Evergreen South"
this year.
Trustees also agreed to changes in the on-campus S & A operation and approved creation
of overlapping terms for S & A board members, who currently begin and end their one-year
appointments at the same time. They also formally approved the name change of the head of
S & A from "executive secretary" to " S & A coordinator".
A series of reports offered trustees the welcome news that the number of application—'
for Fall Quarter is higher than the number received by the same time last year
for thi
first time in four years. President Dan Evans cautioned that it was "too soon to call" the
increase a trend, but pointed out one especially encouraging sign: the number of those
applying to enroll as freshmen is up exactly 100 applicants over last year.
JACOB LAUDED FOR "FINE JOB"
Things were also looking up in housing, trustees learned. The annual housing occupancy
report is the best in the college's history, with a 95 percent "filled" rate. Clabaugh said
two major factors accounted for the improvement: the fact that college rates are less
expensive than many others available, and the "fine job done by housing director Ken Jacob,"
who came aboard when the occupancy rate was only 70 percent.
Action by trustees on a proposed release time policy for staff educational benefits
was postponed until next meeting. Personnel Director Rita Cooper urged trustees to be sure
to consider the plan at that time, so employees could adequately plan for Fall Quarter.
The proposal requires employees and supervisors to negotiate agreements for release time
study for up to four hours per week or ten percent of the work schedule, whichever is less.
Courses may be for any "college-level credit" and need not be restricted to those that are
"job related."
Trustees convene again Thursday, May 17, beginning at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112.
YOUTZ REOPENS ASSISTANT DEAN SEARCH
The search for a new assistant academic dean ran into a snag this week
a lack
of "Affirmative Action candidates." Provost Byron Youtz says the application process
will begin again. He has already begun to f-eek additional applications from interested (
faculty members for the two-year appointment which begins Fall Quarter.
Community interviews already conducted with four finalists last week are scheduled for
the last w'eek of May, and Youtz hopes members of the Assistant Dean Selection Advisory
Group will have their recommendations to hi:n hy June 1.

a "must see"
"RICH AND VARIED" NATIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN EXHIBIT OPENS TUESDAY
"One With The Earth," an exhibit of Native American art spanning ten thousand
years of creativity on the North American continent, comes to Olympia for a four-week split
showing at Evergreen and at the State Capitol Museum, May 8 - June 4. The unusual,
varied and historically comprehensive display was compiled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs
as part of the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration and collected to "share the richness and
variety of native heritage" with all Americans, at home and in Europe.
The traveling exhibit, which features a vast array of native pottery, sculpture,
painting, beadwork and weavings, opens Tuesday, May 8 simultaneously in the Fourth Floor
Gallery of the Evans Library Building at TESC and in the State Capitol Museum in downtown
Olympia. In its honor, both Evergreen and the Museum have announced public receptions and
performances during the next four weeks.
INCLUDES CROSS SECTION OF NATIVE ART
Spanning the creative history of America's Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts, the exhibit
includes sculptures created on wood, bone, ivory, slate, stone and clay, each representing
the regional talent and material available to its creator. Included among the sculpture
is a fine wood owl, crafted by Lawney Reyes of Colville, Washington, the creator of the
intricate and inspirational Fourth Floor Gallery doors dedicated to the memory of former
Olympia teacher Robert Kindschy at Evergreen in 1972.
Also included in the split art exhibition is a cross section of contemporary native
art by artists from a number of tribes. These modern pieces reflect a noticeable reversion
to traditional tribally derived arts and crafts expressions. And, while these modern
artists are deeply concerned with their symbols of racial identification, their work

— 4 —

reflects an intense awareness of their right to explore new forms, using modern materials (
and taking advantage of both contemporary technology and present day issues. Their
exhibit offers clear testimony to the prediction that native artists and craftspersons
are assuming new roles and moving their art into new formats that may well create a Native
American art that becomes radically different from that which has been created over the
past 100 centuries.
RECEPTION SET TUESDAY
To honor the coming of the month-long exhibit at Evergreen, members of the college's
Native American faculty have combined efforts with the Evergreen College Community
Organization to host an opening reception Tuesday, May 8 from 7 to 10 p.m. on the fourth
floor of the Evans Library near the new exhibit.
Complementing the display, which will remain on public view in both galleries until
June 4, five public performances will be presented at TESC throughout the length of the
show. They begin on May 11 when Evergreen faculty poet Don Jordan, who has published
three volumes under his Indian name of K'os Naahaabii, will present a free poetry reading
at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications Building.
Sunday, May 13, Makah dancer Mary McQuillan performs at 2 p.m. in the Recital Hall,
and from 1 to 5 p.m. a number of local Indian artists and craftspersons will demonstrate
their talents in the Fourth Floor Library lounge near the exhibit,
Friday, May 18, Evergreen faculty member Mary Nelson will offer a lecture on
Southwest Indian art, to be followed on Monday, May 21 with a discussion of Pacific Northwest
Indian Art. Both of Mrs. Nelson's talks will begin at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the
Communications Building. And, on Saturday, June 2, Evergreen faculty member Lovern King
will present a public lecture on "Video: A New Indian Art Form," at 8 p.m. in the Recital
Hall. All of the Evergreen peformances related to the "One With The Earth" exhibit are (
free and open to the public.
MUSEUM RECEPTION THURSDAY
At the State Capitol Museum, a public reception has been planned for Thursday,
May 10, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The museum reception will also honor the opening of a new
permanent exhibit there, titled "People of the Salmon and Cedar," displaying Pacific
Northwest basketry, crafts and artifacts.
Complete information on both portions of the "One With The Earth" exhibit are
available from either Evergreen or the State Capitol Museum. Gallery hours at TESC are
from: 1 to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays; and noon to 6 p.m. weekdays, except Tuesdays
when hours are extended from noon to 8 p.m.
State Capitol Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and
1 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Museum is closed on Mondays.
ARTS COMMISSION AWARDS GRANT FOR TRAVELING SHOW
The Washington State Arts Commission has awarded a $2,000 grant to Evergreen to
organize, document and circulate a traveling exhibit of current art by Pacific Northwest
artists. Evergreen exhibits coordinator Sid White, who will serve as project director,
says the award enables TESC to borrow and share some 60 pieces of work by 20 photographers
and printmakers from Washington and Oregon for a one year period.
Slated to open in December, the exhibition will be displayed first at Evergreen.
Then it will travel to exhibits at Reed College in Portland in January, Central Washington
University in Ellensburg in February, and the Bellevue Art Museum in March.
Selections of works to be included in the traveling exhibit will be made by
nominations from four nationally recognized artists: Gordon Gilkey, printmaker and curatorV
of prints for the Portland Art Museum; Terry Toedtemeier, photographer and associate director
of Portland's Blue Sky Gallery; Thomas Johnston, Bellingham printmaker and faculty artist
at Western Washington University; and James Sahlstrand, Ellensburg photographer and
director of Central Washington University's art gallery.
White, an Evergreen faculty member in art who most recently organized the Evergreen
Library's Washington Printmaker traveling exhibition, says the Commission's grant to TESC

_ 5will provide artists, teachers, students and the general public an opportunity to view
work that is both contemporary and unique to the Pacific Northwest.
two more honors
HARDIMAN APPOINTED BLACK ARTS PRESIDENT
Joye Hardiman, an Evergreen faculty member in theater and communications, has been
appointed president of Black Arts West Theater's acting company in Seattle. The appointment,
effective immediately, was made by the board of directors for the company's 1979-80
theatrical season.
Hardiman, who served as an artist-in-residence with the company from September 1978
to April 1979, says the company is the only professional ethnic performing group in the
Pacific Northwest and is comprised of some 35 actors, dancers, musicians and technicians.
The ten-year-old company, which presents its productions at the Langston Hughes Cultural
Arts Center on Yesler Way in Seattle, will present two especially exciting works next year,
Hardiman says, "For Colored Girls Who've Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" and
"Brownsville Raid".
RICH WINS "EARTHWATCH" APPOINTMENT
Jennifer Rich, a Seattle sophomore at Evergreen, has been selected to participate as
a student representative on a three-week "Earthwatch" in Alaska this summer. "Earthwatch,"
a non-profit research organization supported by a variety of national foundations, will
send Rich and a research team to conduct the first in-depth study of "limited entry" on
American fisheries. Some five years ago the State of Alaska adopted legislation limiting
the numbers of fishermen and boats who could narvest state waters. The social and cultural
impact of that legislation will be studied June 21-July 12 in a program to based at Neknek,
an Alaska cannery town.
The study will focus specifically on three groups: Native American upriver fishermen; professional, full-time fishermen; and those who harvest fish on a part-time basis.
"Earthwatch" annually stages national competitions to select students to participate
in its Career Training Program. Winners are chosen on the basis of their special aptitude
for exploration, research and discovery.
Rich, a former member of the United States National Synchronized Swimming Team and
graduate of Seattle's Lakeside High School, feels she was selected in part for her Winter
Quarter studies at TESC. She compiled an ethnography
a study on how the Yugoslavian
purseine fishermen of Gig Harbor view their profession in their culture and the impact on
their lives of the current Washington state fishing rights controversy. Her 70-page report
was completed as part of her academic work in Evergreen's Salmon Study Program.
INGRAM TO TEACH "BLACK WOMEN IN MEDIA" SUMMER QUARTER
Dr. Winifred Ingram thinks about the image of black women in the world today and
observes that they have, in one respect, been given the same treatment as other women
all have been neglected for their achievements. Ingram, a clinical psychologist, an
Evergreen faculty member in psychology and a black professional woman, also notes that
black women are now beginning to demand acknowledgment and respect for who they are and
what they've done.
She says it is time for the world to know what black communities have always known,
that black women have supported the emotional struggles of their people with great
intellectual and creative strength.
Dr. Ingram will teach a five and one-half week course this summer at Evergreen that
is designed to bring the achievements of black women to the fore, and to examine and
understand the image of black women in our culture. Titled "Black Women in the Media," and
scheduled to be held July 23 - August 31, the course is part of the annual Institute of
Western Black Culture, held at Evergreen each summer. The first class meeting will be
Monday, July 23, at 10 a.m., in Seminar Building 4155.

- 6The images of black women, as projected by newspapers, magazines, film, television
and radio stations, will be investigated in Ingram's program from both an historical and («|»
a contemporary point of view. Students will contrast the stereotypes of black women as
mammies, saviors, and entertainers with real figures of black female scholars, painters,
poets, sculptors, composers and novelists.
"Black Women in the Media" will offer a new and more realistic look at black women
in western society and will complement what we are beginning to know about black men of
achievement throughout history. Dr. Ingram's interest in the public image of black people
reaches far back into her life. Her master's thesis at the University of Washington in 1937
concerned a study of projected Negro myths, and much of her work in the field of psychology
has related to the behavior of black persons. She received her doctorate in clinical
psychology from Northwestern University in 1951.

KAOS MARATHON BEGINS TODAY
If you've ever wanted "your song" to be played on the radio or longed for a chance
to enjoy old radio plays or compete in a "trivia contest," KAOS has just the answer for
you. The non-profit, FM community radio station, based at Evergreen, stages its annual
Spring Marathon May 4-13, offering "special high energy programming" 24 hours a day,
according to Eugenia Cooper, KAOS program director.
Purpose of the ten-day marathon, says Cooper, is to raise funds to help pay for
remodeling and installation of new equipment, including a larger transmitter, which the
staff hopes to install during Summer Quarter. KAOS, Cooper notes, is not supported by
public monies; instead a portion of student fees are devoted to the radio station, which
operates with an all volunteer staff. Additional funds are raised through KAOS benefits
*•
and the annual marathon which seeks to sell listeners year-long subscriptions, at $15 each,'
which entitle holders to a KAOS T-shirt and the monthly KAOS program guide.
Of special interest to listeners during marathon days are trivia contests, set May 4
and 11 from 8 to 10 p.m.; "Record Request Day," all day May 10; and playing of old radio
plays Monday through Friday from 3 to 4 p.m. Cooper says KAOS will also stage a spring
auction featuring gift donations from local businesses on May 13, from 6 to 7 p.m., and
will present a "science fiction and radio comedy hour" May 5, featuring an interview with
the director of the classic film, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers."
For classic lovers, KAOS will offer broadcasts of the New York Philharmonic tapes
Sunday mornings from 10 until noon. May 6 will feature music by Prokofiev, Strauss and
Shostokovich; May 13 will offer compositions by Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. And, fans of
the Chicago Lyric Opera will hear "Salome" by Richard Strauss performed May 6, from 3 to
6 p.m., and "Madame Butterfly" by Giacomo Puccini presented May 13, also from 3 to 6 p.m.
In addition, KAOS staffers will present a benefit showing of the film, "Alice's
Restaurant", May 5 at 3, 7 and 9:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall One.
Tune in to 89.3 on your FM radio dial for what promises will be ten days of "varied,
unusual and 'kaotic'" listening pleasure.
LARSON DIRECTS VISIT TO POLYNESIA TUESDAY
A visit to Polynesia and the people of Tikopea Tuesday, May 8, will offer Evergreen
audiences a look at a world without electricity, plumbing, currency or tourists
one
of the few places where traditional Polynesian culture thrives in its isolated state.
Conducting the tour to the tiny island of Tikopea some 500 miles from any major settlement
in the South Pacific will be Dr. Eric Larson, Evergreen faculty anthropologist and
concluding speaker in the 1978-79 Tuesdays at Eight lecture series. Dr. Larson's talk,
set to begin at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of Evergreen's Communications Building, carries
a $1 admission charge.
Accompanying his lecture with slides, Dr. Larson will explore the three square
mile island of Tikopea where some 1000 persons enjoy a way of life far different from that
of America in 1979. Dr. Larson and his wife Patricia came to know those people intimately
when they spent 16 months studying Polynesian culture in the Soloman Islands during the

1964-65 academic year.
The results of their stay included Dr. Larson's book "Nukufero: A Tikopea Colony in
the Russell Islands," published in 1965 by University of Oregon Press, and the completion
of his doctorate in anthropology from the U of 0. A less concrete but equally lasting result
for the Larsons was the appreciation they developed for the strong sense of ethnic identity
and pride maintained by the Tikopean peoples.
Dr. Larson will share his views of the Tikopeans and their definition of "ethnicity"
which encompasses their family system, tribal organization, perceptions of beauty and
strength, ceremonies, and their "arofa," a trait they believe is unique to Tikopeans and
covers a range of emotions and sentiments that distinguishes their ethnicity from others.
His talk will be followed on May 15 with a jazz concert featuring the Owl Party's
popular performers Red Kelly and Jack Percival, also set for 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of
the Communications Building. Ticket information and reservations for all Tuesdays at Eight
events is available through the Office of College Relations, 866-6128.
FOX AND CLARKE EXPLORE COMMUNITY HERITAGE WEDNESDAY
"Transitions in Community Life" will be the topic of a free public presentation on
May 9 at 7:30 p.m., in the Olympia Public Library, when two well-known Olympia men discuss
the role of community planning in forging the essential link between heritage and future
in a community.

Ron Clarke, local assistance planner for the State Planning and Community Affairs
Agency, and Russ Fox, Evergreen faculty member in planning and community studies, will be
the sixth speakers 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, TESC
and other local organizations.
Clarke, a planner for more than 20 years, first in Detroit and other parts of
Michigan, and in Washington state these past 10 years, likes to recall an old maxim when
thinking about community transition. The African chief was asked by a visitor who his
people were, Clarke says, and the chief answered: "Some are gone; some are here around me;
others are not yet born." The simile,Clarke believes, tells us about our relationship to
other generations and explains the responsibility we often see for dealing with change in
our communities.
What typically happens, he says, is that a community proceeds as it traditionally
has, until one day stress of growth or other events cause one portion of the community to
feel threatened. This threat might, in turn, bring stress to bear on other segments of
the community and its government. At some point a citizen's group is appointed to look at
the problems and seek solutions, and the city council may eventually adopt a policy toward
final resolution.
This process, he says, is community planning
a modern term that has its roots
even in early civilizations that made advance decisions about where certain facilities
would be located, how segments of the community would be related to others, and how growth
would occur. Washington state's first law enabling planning to take place was passed in
1935.
Clarke and Fox have both been involved in community planning throughout Washington
state and will use film and tales of their own experiences to paint a story of how planning
has been used to shape North Bonneville, Forks, and other familiar towns.
Russ Fox, who joined the Evergreen faculty in 1972, worked three years as a planner
for Chile's Ministry of Housing and Urbanism, and in Peru on an earthquake relief team in
1970, during his tenure with the Peace Corps. Emphasizing the role of traditional community
life in the planning process, Fox observes that people use planning as a means of preserving
what they like about their heritages.
Fox is presently teaching three advanced-level programs at Evergreen, "Urban Planning,"
"Community Advocacy," and "Decentralization," all of which stress individual participation
in community life and change
participation that can bring about the kind of communities
citizens want.
The next and final Heritage event will present Angelino Pelligrini, professor
emeritus of English at University of Washington, who will speak May 23 on "The Old World
in the New," at 7:30 p.m., in the Olympia Public Library.

- 8JORDAN PRESENTS MAY 11 READING; DANCER PERFORMS MAY 13
Presentations by a nationally known poet, a Makah tribal dancer and a variety of
Native American artisans are on tap May 11 and 13 at Evergreen in a continuing public
program designed to complement the school's current showing of the "One With The Earth"
exhibit
(See page 3).
Celebrating the coming of the exhibition to TESC, nationally known poet and TESC
faculty member Don Jordan will present a series of his newest works during a free public
performance Friday, May 11, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications
Building. Publishing under his Native American name, K'os Naahaabii, Jordan produced two
early volumes of verse, Bitter Roots of Peace (1972) and Notes from the Center of the Earth
(1970), and last year, Songs of the Fire Circles, all from California's Blue Oak Press.
In his Friday evening reading, Jordan will share portions of a new poetry collection
still in progress, including poems "The Wedding," "A Poem for Robinson Jeffers," and
"Walking the Night Hours," as well as excerpts from his recently completed novel,

DANCER AND ARTISTS HERE MOTHER'S DAY
Makah tribal dancer Mary McQuillan will launch activities Sunday, May 13 when she
performs traditional and family dances, beginning at 2 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the
Communications Building. Her two-person show features accompaniment by a local Native
American drummer.
At the same time, Native American artists in jewelry, wood carving and basketry
will demonstrate their crafts from 1 to 5 p.m. in the fourth floor Library lounge,
adjacent to the recently opened "One With The Earth" exhibit.
The three public presentations, all free and open to the public, are offered by
Evergreen faculty members Mary Nelson, Mary Hillaire, Maxine Mimms, David Whitener, Lovern /
King and Betsy Diffendahl, in cooperation with TESC exhibits coordinator Sici White. The
public presentations are also related to academic work by students and faculty this year
in the Symbolization Coordinated Studies Program, which has provided community-based
Native American studies in several Western Washington locations.
Jordan's presentation Friday is of special interest to poetry enthusiasts from on
and off campus because he's currently teaching his last quarter at TESC. After seven years
of teaching literature and creative writing, Third World Studies and law enforcement,
Jordan has accepted a faculty post at the University of Oregon in Eugene, where he plans
to teach creative writing and pursue his own graduate work in writing, beginning Summer
Quarter.

STAFF WOMEN CHALLENGE FACULTY TO DIAMOND DUAL TOMORROW

The old "us and them" syndrome, often common between faculty and
staff in institutions of higher learning, will rear its sporting head
at Evergreen tomorrow when Kris Robinson's Irregulars take on a team
of faculty women for a women's slowpitch softball game, set to begin
at noon on the recreation fields. Rumor has it neither team has held
even one practice, few players own a mitt, and practically everyone
(this writer most especially) is out of shape. But all are determined
to play their best for the high stakes: the honor of "their side of
the college" and, probably more importantly, the first round of
beverages at the Two-Mile House.
Admission, should you be foolhearty enough to seek it, is free.

EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
Evergreen faculty member Guy Adams reports plans are chugging right along on a new
half-time program for public employees called "Public Management: Roots and Realities."
The lower division course, which will be offered evenings and/or weekends Fall Quarter,
will be designed to prepare students for further study in the Management and the Public
Interest specialty area. Adams says he hopes
details will be worked out soon for
the program, which will accommodate up to 120 students. Adams, who's also working on the
graduate school program plans with a committee chaired by Academic Dean Will Humphreys,
expects a "concrete proposal" on the college's first graduate program to be developed over
the summer.
Librarian and Faculty Member Susan Smith, coordinator of media services, has been
elected as one of 10 Washington state delegates to the White House Conference on Libraries
scheduled next November in Washington, D.C. Smith was elected last week by delegates at
the Governor's Conference on Libraries. Attending the session from this state with Smith
will John Veblen, former head of the Washington State Library Commission; Betty Bender,
president of the Washington Library Association, and seven other (lay) persons concerned
with libraries. Smith says the national meet will seek to "set library policies for the
rest of the century" and will draw a total of one thousand delegates.

Daniel Lester Evans, father of President Dan Evans, died Monday in a Seattle hospital.
The senior Evans, 84, served as a professional engineer for the majority of his career,
including 12 years as the King County Engineer from 1947 to 1959. During his tenure there,
which was the longest served by any one person, the county established its first modern
road system following years of inactivity due to the Depression and World War II. In
addition to President Evans, Mr. Evans is survived by his wife, Irma, sons Robert and Roger
of Seattle and seven grandchildren. Remembrances may be sent to either the King"bounty
Medic One or to person's favorite charities. The family requests that no flowers be se«f.

Legislative Memo Volume V, No. 14
THANKS OFFERED FOR MASTER'S SUPPORT
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
Let me say a special thank-you to all those who wrote or called the Governor's
Office to urge the signing of Senate Bill 2610 last week. Several board members, members
of the Evergreen Foundation Board of Governors, community people, alumni and former
legislators and friends of the college rallied to urge favorable consideration of the
bill which now has become Chapter 78, Laws of 79, first extraordinary session.
BUDGETS COMPARED
April 27 the Senate passed a committee amendment to House Bill 236, the operating
budget, which contained both the capital and operating budgets from the Senate. The House
refused to concur with the committee amendment. The result will be either informal
negotiation or a conference committee. The Evergreen operating portion of the Senate budget
is higher than the House version. A comparison of the program areas among the Governor's (
budget, the House budget and the Senate shows the following:

In the capital budget, the Senate recommended $328,000 for the new soccer field and
$111,000 for emergency roof and set and model shop repairs, $150,000 for the appropriations
for the completion of the equipment purchases for the communication's lab and $136,000 for
handicapped access. This is approximately $300,000 less for the field than in the House
budget and eliminates the $200,000 for gymnasium planning. The process of negotiating on
the budget could be lengthy. Some observers feel the session may go on for another week
or two.
NO TUITION HIKES
Tuition increases appear to be a dead issue for this biennium as is the faculty
collective bargaining bill for four year universities and colleges. The Governor vetoed
engrossed Substitute House Bill 29 which creates a joint legislative committee to review
agency rules. A veto override on this bill succeeded in the House this week. A bill which
allows institutions to continue to contract for services with private firms but prohibits
new contracts, has been signed by the Governor. It allows Evergreen to continue a contract
relationship with SAGA Food Services. A Supreme Court decision earlier in the year had
ruled that such contracts, without the bill just signed, were illegal.
