...WINTER QUARTER ENROLLMENT SHOWS 14% JUMP...Tentative enrollment figures for Winter Quarter
1980 show Evergreen has increased its student count more than 14 percent over the same period
last year, according to Registrar Walker Allen. Early head counts show some 2,546 students had
completed registration by January 23, an increase of 320 over last winter's tally of 2,226. The
head count also tops Fall Quarter 1979 figures by 32 students
only the second time in Evergreen's history that Winter Quarter enrollment exceeded the previous fall count.
Tentative full-time equivalent figures for winter show a slight drop: 2,237 FTE were
tabulated by Wednesday for winter, while fall's FTE totaled 2,261. Allen says the figures indicate an increasing number of students elected to enroll for fewer credits Winter Quarter than in
fall. He points out that Fall Quarter showed 1,914 full-time students with 600 part-timers;
Winter Quarter registered 1,907 full-time students with a part-time tally of 639.
...GRADUATE PROGRAM DIRECTORS NAMED...Two Evergreen faculty members have been named co-directors
of the college's first graduate program, according to Academic Vice President and Provost Byron
Youtz. Named to head the new master's degree program in public administration are Dr. Russell
Lidman and Dr. Guy Adams, both of whom are currently teaching in the undergraduate program in
public management. The two men assume their responsibilities immediately for at least a sixmonth appointment, Dr. Youtz said. Both men will continue to serve as co-directors until faculty
recruiting for the graduate program is completed and a long-term director is selected.
Dr. Lidman, an economist, joined Evergreen's faculty in 1974, after serving as a consultant
. the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare and as a research associate at the
Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Dr. Adams joined
Evergreen's faculty in 1978 following service as a lecturer for the Department of Public Administration at California State University at Hayward.
Applications are now being accepted for the master's program, which begins next fall. All
applications are due by March 1 in the Admissions Office. An estimated 35 full- and part-time
students will be notified of their acceptance by April 15.
...TALENTED TYPES SOUGHT FOR SUPER SATURDAY 1980...The Evergreen Super Saturday committee has
this week issued an invitation to local artists, craftsmen, musicians, entertainers and food vendors to plan now to participate in Super Saturday on June 7, 1980, on the central campus plaza.
The annual day-long community event, which last year attracted more than 4,000 visitors to campus,
offers a celebration of the conclusion of the college's ninth academic year and heralds the
coming of the first summer of the new decade.
Super Saturday cochairmen Judy McNickle and Larry Stenberg say they hope to top last year's
event, which included nine hours of continuous, live entertainment, a variety of athletic and recreational events ranging from skateboard contests to free swimming children's activities, arts
and crafts demonstrations, exhibits and sales, and a college-wide open house.
"This year, we're hoping to attract even more local participants," says McNickle.
"We'd
like to strongly encourage local artists to demonstrate, display or sell their work; we want local
groups and individuals with foods and beverages to sell to bring them out to Evergreen; and we
earnestly seek talented entertainers to present free shows throughout Super Saturday."
Persons interested in participating in Super Saturday in any way are invited to contact
the Office of College Relations, 866-6128, weekdays during regular working hours.

"a great enrollment"
WINTER QUARTER COUNT UP 14%; EVANS THAWS PARTIAL BUDGET FREEZE
Faced with a brand new stack of statistics, Evergreen President Dan Evans Wednesday labeled
Winter Quarter's student count "a great enrollment" and partially lifted the temporary budget
freeze which he and his fiscal advisors had set aside in case the college didn't meets its
minimum annual average full-time equivalent student enrollment for the 1979-80 academic year.
"For the second time in our history, our winter count has topped that of the previous
Fall Quarter," he said. "It's a dramatic increase over last winter's enrollment and it has substantially diminished the amount of any projected payback." Because of the increase, Evans has
released some $30,000 to Provost Byron Youtz to meet Spring Quarter academic needs and has decided to proceed with selection processes to fill several key college positions, including the
Educational Outreach Coordinator, the Director of College Relations, and the Director of Institutional Research.
HEAD COUNT HIGHER THAN FALL QUARTER
Preliminary enrollment figures released Wednesday for Winter Quarter show an increase of
more than 14 percent over the same period last year, according to Registrar Walker Allen. Early
b'-'d counts show 2,545 students had completed registration by Wednesday morning, an increase of
i
over last winter's tally of 2,226. The head count also tops Fall Quarter 1979 figures by
32 students
only the second time in Evergreen's history that Winter Quarter enrollment exceeded the previous fall count.
Tentative full-time equivalent figures for winter show a slight drop: 2,237 FTE were
tabulated by Wednesday for winter, while fall's FTE totaled 2,261. Allen says the figures show
an increasing number of students chose to enroll for fewer credits Winter Quarter than in
fall. He points out that Fall Quarter showed 1,914 full-time students, with 600 part-timers;
Winter Quarter registered 1,907 full-time students with a part-time tally of 639. Also affecting the winter FTE are fewer applications for award of External Credit, which Allen says, is
"traditionally lower this time of year."
Significant in the new figures, the registrar says, are what appears to be both "an
improved retention rate over Fall Quarter and an increased number of transfer admits."
Enrollment in both the college's off-campus programs also reflects slight growth this
quarter. Port Angeles has registered 32 stduents, compared to 28 Fall Quarter, while Vancouver
shows a total of 70 students compared to 61 in October.
ADAMS AND LIDMAN NAMED GRADUATE PROGRAM
CO-DIRECTORS
Two Evergreen faculty members have been named co-directors of the college's first graduate
program, according to Academic Vice President and Provost Byron Youtz. Named to head the new
master's degree program in public administration are Dr. Russell Lidman and Dr. Guy Adams, both
of whom are currently teaching in the undergraduate program in public management. The two men
assume their responsibilities immediately for at least a six-month appointment, Dr. Youtz said.
Both men will continue to serve as co-directors until faculty recruiting for the graduate pro:
m is completed and a long-term director is selected.
Dr. Lidman, an economist, joined Evergreen's faculty in 1974, after serving as a consultant
for the U.S Department of Health, Education and Welfare and as a research associate at the
Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He holds a bachelor
of science degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University, masters degrees in economic
development and in economics from Princeton University and the University of Wisconsin, respec-
- 2tively, and a doctorate in economics, also from the University of Wisconsin.
Dr. Adams joined Evergreen's faculty in 1978 after serving as a lecturer for the Department
of Public Administration at California State University at Hayward. He holds a bachelor's
degree in history from Temple University, a master's degree in public administration from the('
University of New Mexico, and a doctorate in public administration from George Washington Univtrsity.
The two men will share responsibility for administering the new graduate program, which is
now accepting applications for its first class, which begins next fall. All applications are
due in the Admissions Office by March 1. An estimated 35 full- and part-time students will be
notified of their acceptance by April 15.
SEARCH OPEN FOR SENIOR DEAN
Applications are now being accepted from persons interested in becoming a senior academic
dean at Evergreen. Provost Byron Youtz says applications are due by March 1 for the four-year,
twice-renewable position, which carries primary responsibility for planning and managing the
academic budget, administrative support for academic programs and preparation of periodic reports,
The post, currently held by Barbara Smith, will be filled by June 15 and will carry faculty
status.
Smith will assume responsibilities for curriculum planning and faculty hiring, duties
currently held by Academic Dean Will Humphreys who returns to the faculty next fall.
Requirements for the senior deanship include a master's degree, plus five years of teaching
experience in a four-year college or university and at least one year of administrative experience. The Dean Screening Disappearing Task Force, headed by Youtz, hopes to complete paper
screening of all applications by March 7 and select three to five finalists by the end of Winter
Quarter. Interviews for finalists will be conducted before April 7 and Youtz hopes to announce
his selection by April 21, so the new dean can report to work immediately following the end of
Spring Quarter.

oming events
POPULAR ROCK BAND "HEATS" CAB SATURDAY
The Heaters, billed as Seattle's most popular rock 'n roll band, headlines a six-hour
concert/dance Saturday, January 26 at Evergreen. Open to rock fans of all ages, the entertainment-filled evening begins at 8 o'clock in the second floor of the College Activities Building
and features the four-member group reviewers have called "the best rock band in the Pacific
Northwest."
Known for music that's powerful, danceable, catchy and fun, the Seattle foursome strive to
entertain not preach. As drummer Ken Deans sees it, "Our job is to give people a good time.
No politics; no messages." Less than a year old, the Heaters have already developed a strong
following, filling clubs, halls and high school gymnasium throughout the Puget Sound area, including one show-stopping concert before 10,000 screaming fans at the Seattle Coliseum last fall.
Members of the group include singer-guitarists Steve Pearson and Don Short, bassist Keith
Lilly and drummer Deans, who assist on vocals. All four hail from King County and have already
begun work on their first record.
Sharing the stage with The Heaters Saturday night will be the Magnetics, a 1950's style
rock-a-billy band, from Seattle, and Larry and the Mondellos, an Olympia rock group.
Tickets for the six-hour bash are on sale now for $3 at Budget Tapes and Rainy Day Records
in Olympia and at the Evergreen Bookstore. Tickets will also be sold for $3.50 at the door of
the College Activities Building Saturday night.
IMPACT OF OLYMPICS EXPLORED WEDNESDAY
Dr. Alan Schwartz, director of Environmental Studies at Saint Lawrence University, will
present a public lecture and slide show January 30 at Evergreen on the "environmental, social,
inomic and psychological impacts of the Winter Olympics on Lake Placid."
Dr. Schwartz, selected by the National Association for Environmental Education as its
1980 National Lecturer, says the location of his college, in the foothills of the Adirondacks,
has provided him a unique opportunity for observing and studying the impacts of the Olympics
on Lake Placid, a small upstate New York community of 2,700.
His Wednesday evening presentation, scheduled to begin at 8 o'clock in Lecture Hall Three,

at the door.
- 4COONTZ DISCUSSES SEXUAL VIOLENCE TUESDAY
Evergreen faculty historian Stephanie Coontz argues that women are not abused because of
their biology but because certain social structures allow abuse to be waged against women as
well as many men. In a talk titled "Sexual Inequality in American History, and Its Link to
Sexual Violence," scheduled at 7:30 p.m., January 29, at the YWCA Friendship Hall (220 E. Union)
Coontz will explore how society's definitions of male and female roles relate to violence against
women. The talk is free and open to the public and is sponsored by Thurston County Rape Relief
at the YWCA.
Coontz, presently on sabbatical to complete work on a book about women and the family in
American history, has been active in the feminist movement since the early 1960's. She also
has authored numerous articles on women in history and current affairs, articles that often
probe economic aspects of women's condition and call for greater sexual and economic equality
between men and women in society.
Violence against women, Coontz observes, may have seen a long history but the phenomenon
is NOT universal and is not the result of biological differences between the sexes. Her research of social reasons underlying battering, rape and other forms of abuse to women reaches
back into prehistory and moves through the ages to modern times. Her free talk on January 29
will trace the development of attitudes and events that have shaped tendencies toward abuse
of women. The evening program will also feature a short overview of "rape culture" in American
society and Rape Relief's services.
INTERNSHIP WORKSHOP OFFERED
The Office of Cooperative Education is sponsoring a workshop on "Everything You Wanted to
Know About Internships" Wednesday, January 30 from 1 to 3 p.m. in room 2205 of the library.

Ecotope, CTEN - TV, Maple Lane School, Southwest Washington Health Systems Agency, and The
Shelter. All interested students are welcome.
"VIDEO INSTALLATION" OPENS MONDAY IN GALLERY FOUR
A collection of student and faculty photography and video tapes comprise a new "Video

photography, film and video. In addition, the new exhibit offers viewing space for continuous
showings of student-produced video tapes and periodic live performances by students, supplementing
their film displays. The unusual exhibit opens with a public reception Monday, January 28,
beginning at 8 p.m. in room 4002 of the Evans Library. The exhibit is free and open to the
public weekdays from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.
ECCO GOES UNDERGROUND

HANDICAP ACCESS COMMITTEE
WORKS TO MEET JUNE 2 DEADLINE
The nation's colleges and universities have until June 2 to make required structural changes
and achieve compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, mandating equal access to
college facilities for all qualified students and employees, regardless of handicap.
To make sure Evergreen complies with the federal mandate, a 13-member committee has already
begun work, establishing priorities for the removal of architectural barriers, reviewing all
design work, keeping the campus informed of developments in this field, and publishing information on handicap issues.
Facilities Director Dave Wallbom, who also serves as the college's Handicapped Access
Coordinator, chairs the group which began meeting this fall and has already completed its first
project
modification of a staff restroom in the library to accommodate wheelchair users.
Working closely with architect Jon Collier, project consultant for handicap access, the committee
is already making plans for modifying other campus facilities involving doors, elevators, lecture
hall s'eating, telephones, water coolers and signage.
Collier, whose tasks include surveying all campus buildings for architectural barriers,
preparing contract documents for barrier modifications, and processing all concerns from handiped students and employees, says he invites contact from Evergreeners who have questions or
b^acerns about program or equipment access. He's available weekdays in room 1254 of Laboratory
II (866-6120) and he'll share comments with committee members and the three-person Facilities
Office team organized to supervise Collier's efforts and determine funding allocations for the
project. Working on the Facilities team are Wallbom, Arnie Doerksen and Darrell Six. The three,
plus Collier, also serve on the Handicap Access Committee with members Walker Allen, Larry
Eickstaedt, Barbara Cooley, Lynn Garner, Dave Carnahan, Richard Rowan, Katelyn Cramner-Drumheller,
Kathy Stice, and David Vorce.
legislative memo Vol. VI. No. 1
FIRST EVEN YEAR REGULAR SESSION WILL BE OF "LIMITED SCOPE"
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
/*&•'••
January 14 marked the opening day of the first even-year regular session in the history ofe|
the Washington Legislature. Last November Washington voters approved a measure which calls for
60-day sessions in even years and 105-day sessions in odd years, altering the 80-year practice of
regular sessions once a biennium. The Legislature may only go beyond 60 days by a two-thirds
vote of its membership or by the call of the Governor, events unlikely in this election year.
At least three legislative leaders are seriously considering statewide office. Co-speakers
John Bagnariol and Duane Berentson are looking at the Governor's race, while Senate Majority
Leader Gordon Walgren is a probable candidate for Attorney General. 1980 will also see an intense battle between Republicans and Democrats for control of the House and an effort on the
part of Republicans to reduce the Democratic majority in the Senate or perhaps take control. All
these factors will tend to limit the scope of subjects considered in this session to those of
highest priority and statewide interest.
Evergreen brings an enviable record of accomplishment to this session. Its rising enrollment, recent laudatory reaccreditation report and progress in responding to Council for Postsecondary Education recommendations comprise a good basis upon which to express Evergreen's
needs for the coming two years.
ROOF REPAIR BILL UP TODAY
The supplemental budget bill has been the subject of much speculation in the first two
weeks of the session. Talk in some quarters is that no supplemental budget bill will be considered in the Senate. The House has introduced a capital supplemental budget which includes
$416,000 for seminar and library building roof repair at Evergreen. This House bill H.B.1582,
will be heard by the full Appropriations Committee today at 3:30 in House Office Building 431.
Senator A.N. "Bud" Sinpoch, Democrat, Renton, has sponsored a bill in the Senate which appropriates funds for Evergreen roof repair in the event that an overall budget bill is not considered
by the Ways and Means Committee. Other sponsors include Senator George Scott, Senator Del
(
Bausch, and Senator Gary Odegaard.
The Senate Labor Committee moved the faculty collective bargaining bill S.B.2236, out of
committee with a "do pass" recommendation by a 3 to 1 vote last week. President Dan Evans
and University of Washington President William Gerberding testified on behalf of their institutions as the bill was considered. Both expressed a strong preference for the collegial form
of governance and requested the Senate at least consider some improvements to the bill if the
measure is passed. The two presidents suggested Ssnators consider provisions that include students
as observers to the bargaining process and more specifically define employee and provisions
for bargaining unit determination.
A new Services and Activities Fee bill, House bills 1480, was passed by the House Higher
Education committee Monday. The bill is almost identical to the measure vetoed by Governor Ray
last year and would provide for significant student involvement in the Service and Activity fee
budgeting process. Evergreen's process would not be affected as it ,already complies with the
provisions of the bill. The measure is seen to have a good chance of escaping the Governor's
veto if it passes the Legislature again this session.
TRUSTEE GELMAN CONFIRMED
The Senate Higher Education Committee unanimously confirmed the Governor's appointment
of Herbert Gelman as the newest member of Evergreen's board of trustees in a confirmation hearing earlier this week. Trustee Gelman fielded questions concerning the involvement of Evergreen
students with the anti-Trident submarine base movement and what one Senator termed the "offensive
language" used in the Cooper Point Journal. After responding with remarks on the nature of
free speech and the difference between official administrative positions and individual student
activity, Trustee Gelman drew praise from one member of the committee for being "extremely well
prepared."
(
An appropriation bill to fund 1^% faculty salary increases authorized by the Legislature
last year but not funded, has a questionable chance of passage. The House bill will probably
receive a hearing before the House Appropriations Committee this session.
Other bills we will follow in the weekly Legislative Memo this session include a bill to
provide uniform compensation for Boards of Trustees throughout the State, a bill increasing the
number of candidates certified for classified positions to 25 in grades above grade 43, and a
bill bringing student meetings under the open public meetings act.

for graduate work beginning Fall Quarter, 1980.
March is the deadline for applications, says Dr. Humphreys, and persons who apply after that
date will be considered on a "space available basis" only. Those accepted into the new program
will be notified by April 15, following interviews by a panel of Evergreen faculty and staff.
Coursework in public administration will be conducted "almost entirely during evening hours
so persons working in the fields of public service can enroll," adds Dr. Humphreys.
The new degree will emphasize administration of state and local government and social policy
Approximately 20 part-time and ten to 15 full-time students will be admitted. Complete information is available through the Admissions Office, 866-6170.

in two performances January 19 and 20 at Evergreen. The production, called "Stones, a Visual
Meditation," will be staged Saturday, January 19, beginning at 8 p.m. and Sunday, January 20,
beginning at 3 p.m., both in the Experimental Theater of the Communications Building as part of
^rgreen Expressions, the college's performing arts series.
Schick, a well known Seattle choreographer and former Evergreen faculty dancer, premiered
the 70-minute program last spring at Washington Hall Performance Gallery, a new performing arts
space she helped establish in Seattle to encourage public productions by Pacific Northwest
artists.
Music for the show is the creation of composers Michael Micheletti and Stuart Dempster.
Their compositions performed by a Seattle dance team that includes former Evergreen student
.JPaul Loper, will be staged in what Schick describes as an "environmental set"
one that resembles an Oriental landscape more than a stage. The set was created by Portland designer and
sculptor Jim Gardner who now resides in Seattle.
Tickets for the "Stones" performances are $4 general admission or $2.50 for students and
senior citizens and may be reserved by calling 866-6128 weekdays during regular working hours.
...EMPLOYER RESOURCE DIRECTORY TO BE PUBLISHED...More than two thousand employers in Thurston
County will be asked to help compile a resource directory this month that its sponsors believe
will save those same employers time and money while easing the task of recruiting qualified workers.
Ralph Smith, one of three project coordinators for the Employer Resources Directory, says
questionnaires have been designed to gain information on all county employers, their personnel
needs and hiring practices. The surveys, which Smith says will be mailed this week, will be
followed by personal interviews with employers of the 500 largest local workforces. The results
of the questionnaires and interviews will then be compiled into a directory that "will offer a
complete view of our county employment picture," says Smith.
Sponsored by Evergreen's Office of Career Planning and Placement, the project is funded by
the Thurston County CETA office and will be completed by July 1. Further information is available at 866-6136, room 3232 in the Evans Library.
JANUARY 18 DEADLINE FOR LEISURE ED WORKSHOPS...There's still time to register for more than

SNOWS FORCE CAMPUS CLOSURE, SPARK DEDICATION, CREATIVITY
By Judy McNickle, Director, Information Services and Publications
Winter Quarter lived up to its name with heedless enthusiasm last week as more than 12
inches of snow covered the Evergreen campus, closing the college for one day and requiring early
closures on two others. Numerous on-campus meetings were cancelled and registration for the
new quarter was extended to January 16 to enable snowbound enrollees to pay their fees without
late penalty.
Registrar Walker Allen says registration was extended until 5 p.m. Wednesday, with two
special night sessions added on Monday and Tuesday, since the Academic Fair for part-time students, held on January 7, drew scant crowds and had to be closed early because of deteriorating
road conditions.
Cancelled activities included the Board of Trustees meeting, set for January 10 and postponed until the next regular session on February 14, a meeting of the Board of Governors of the
Evergreen Foundation, scheduled January 9 and postponed until January 23, and a swim meet against
Pacific Lutheran University, slated for January 10 (along with an Athletic Booster Club dinner)
^"postponed indefinitely.
The twice-postponed dedication of the Organic Farm house, slated
\>incide with the Board of Trustees meeting was also postponed though the new facility stands
iy complete, a tribute to years of effort by students and more recently months of constant
»^itc by maintenance and custodial staff from the Facilities Office.
1
DEDICATION MARKS STAFF SNOW FIGHTERS
Many of those same staff members earned campus gratitude last week as they came to work in
the early morning hours to shovel, plow and sprinkle campus roads and walkways, enabling persistent Greeners to get to work and class. Facilities Director Dave Wallbom and his assistants
Darrell Six and ArnLe Doerksen manned campus snow removal equipment themselves, arriving on campus
at 2 a.m. to make sure college parking lots were cleared by the time classes began Wednesday and
Thursday mornings.
Campus phone lines buzzed constantly with one persistent question: "Are we open today?"
At one point the directory assistance line (866-6000) was logging up to 14 calls per minute, with
additional calls pouring into the Security Office. But, by the end of the week, most Evergreeners had the closure notification system down pat: when in doubt, tune in to one of three local
radio stations (KGY, 1240 AM; KITN 920 AM; or KAOS, 89.3 FM) between 6 and 8 a.m. for news of
closure. If still in doubt, calls will be answered at both Security and Directory Assistance.
ART ARISES FROM THE DRIFTS
Despite the difficulties imposed by a foot of the white stuff, students found creative
ways to express themselves, using what nature so obligingly left behind in ample supply. Snow
sculptures dotted the campus, ranging from two dinosaurs and three impressive snow people on the
central campus plaza, to a variety of animals and other creatures on the playfields. An industrious and cooperative crew from the eighth floor of Residence Hall A crafted a mighty dragon,
' ~'ch they carefully colored with food dyes. To keep their creature company, the ingenious
<'
Yers also created a goeduck, giraffe, numerous gargoyles, and what photographer Tracey
1
i_ called "exquisite small snow sculptures resembling ancient Greek art." An igloo was also
^-.istructed and the entire menagerie was topped off by an enchanting snow person climbing one of
the campus trees.
-2-
But, by the beginning of the second week of the quarter, most Evergreeners were probably
more than ready to return to conditions more typical of Western Washington in the winter. Perhaps
a nice ordinary rain might be welcome, even if it continues from now till the first burst of
spring.

SCHICK BRINGS STONES TO DANCE THIS WEEKEND
Six Seattle dancers, surrounded by an unusual environmental set and accompanied by orig
music, will present new choreography by Pam Schick in two performances January 19 and 20 at
Evergreen. The production, entitled "Stones, a Visual Meditation", will be staged Saturday, January 19, beginning at 8 p.m. and Sunday, January 20, beginning at 3 p.m., both in the Experimental
Theater of the Communications Building as part of Evergreen Expressions, the college's performing arts series.
Schick, a well known Seattle choreographer and former Evergreen faculty dancer, premiered
the 70-minute program last spring at Washington Hall Performance Gallery, a new performing
space she helped establish in Seattle to encourage public productions by Pacific Northwest
artists.
Her show, she says, is "active, vital and ritualistic"
a production designed to "let
the audience look at a dance more the way they would a painting, letting their eyes rove visually
over it at their leisure." The first half of the uninterrupted production encourages this
"leisurely roving," while the second portion "reveals the anthropology of the ensemble as implied
by their visual relationships," says Schick, a co-founder of Dance Theatre Seattle who currently
teaches and choreographs for independent performers in the King County area.
Music for the show is the creation of composers Michael Micheletti and Stuart Dempster.
Micheletti, a polished pianist and Evergreen graduate, is a frequent collaborator with dancers
at Evergreen, the Bill Evans Dance institute and the Washington Hall Performance Gallery, while
Dempster, a professional trombonist, serves as a professor of music at the University of Washington. Their compositions, performed by a Seattle dance team that includes former Evergreen student
Paul Loper, will be staged in what Schick describes as "an environmental set"
one that
resembles an Oriental landscape more than a stage. The set was created by Portland designer
and sculptor Jim Gardner who now resides in Seattle.
Tickets for the "Stones" performances are $4 general admission or $2.50 for students a.
senior citizens and may be reserved by calling 866-6128 weekdays during regular working hours.
ADMISSIONS OFFICE STAGES INFORMATION SESSIONS
Admissions Director Arnaldo Rodriguez says his office has scheduled four information
sessions in western Washington this month for high school juniors and seniors and their parents.
The two-hour evening sessions, which began Monday with an open house on campus for Thurston
County students, feature talks by President Dan Evans, faculty members outlining how basic and
advanced study programs are taught, and Enrollment Service staff supplying details on admissions
procedures, financial aid and veterans' assistance programs.
The traveling information shows have been scheduled in Federal Way on January 22 for
Tacoma, Gig Harbor and Federal Way students, in Seattle on January 21 for western King County
high schoolers, and in Bellevue on January 28 for potential enrollees from Kent, Vashon, Mercer
Island, Kirkland and Bellevue.
GRADUATE APPLICATIONS DUE BY MARCH 1
Admissions applications are now being accepted by Evergreen for its new master's degree
program in public administration, according to Academic Dean Will Humphreys. The master's degree
program, Evergreen's first, was authorized by the Council for Postsecondary Education in December
and enables the college to admit approximately 35 students for graduate work beginning Fall
Quarter, 1980.
March 1 is the deadline for applications, says Dr. Humphreys, and persons who apply after
that date will be considered on a "space available basis" only. Those accepted into the new nrogram will be notified by April 15, following interviews by a panel of Evergreen faculty and
Coursework in public administration will be conducted "almost entirely during evening ti
so persons working in the fields of public service can enroll," adds Dr. Humphreys.
The new degree will emphasize administration of state and local government and social policy. Approximately 20 part-time and ten to 15 full-time students will be admitted. The parttimers will be required to enroll for eight quarter hours of coursework per term and can expect
-3-
ciomplete requirements in approximately two years. Full-time students will enroll for 12 hours
\r and can expect to complete their requirements in five quarters, Humphreys says.
• ,/ents without prior public service experience will be expected to complete an internship in
s>t£fte or local government.
Humphreys points out that financial aid will be available for graduate students and says
Evergreen is currently developing resources to fund graduate fellowships, as well.
Information on Evergreen's master's degree program in public administration is available
through the Admissions Office, 866-6170.
JANUARY 18 DEADLINE FOR LEISURE ED WORKSHOPS
There's still time to register for more than 70 sports and Leisure Education workshops
offered Winter Quarter at Evergreen. The non-credit generating workshops, which began this
week, include opportunities to master the sports of kayaking, aquanastics, racquetball, cross
country skiing, basic skin diving, swimming, volleyball and weight training, in addition to
sessions offered in movement, arts, martial arts, music and a variety of others, ranging from
electronics to nature appreciation, handwriting analysis to basic bicycle maintenance, bridge
and Chinese cooking.
Registration for the sessions remains open through 5 p.m. January 18 in the Recreation
Center Office. All registration must be completed in person on a first-come, first-enrolled
basis. Complete details are available at 866-6530 weekdays during regular working hours.
REVISED SWIM SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
The Evergreen swim team has announced a revised schedule for January and February, according
to Athletic Director Pete Steilberg.
Inclement weather caused cancellations and postponements of previously scheduled meets,
Steilberg says, so a new slate of matches for the Geoducks includes the following:
\n versus Highline Community College at TESC,
7 p.m., January 18
(
) Evergreen versus Whitman College at Walla Walla,
5 p.m., January 25
Evergreen versus Eastern Washington University and
2 p.m., January 26
Montana State University at Cheney,
Evergreen versus Washington State University and
2 p.m., February 9
Eastern Washington University at TESC
Additional matches may be scheduled later in the season, Steilberg notes.
EMPLOYER RESOURCE DIRECTORY TO BE PUBLISHED
More than two thousand employers in Thurston County will be asked to help compile a resource
directory this month that its sponsors believe will save those same employers time and money
while easing the task of recruiting qualified workers.
Ralph SmithT one of three project coordinators for the Employer Resources Directory, says
questionnaires have been designed to gain information on all county employers, their personnel
needs and hiring practices. The surveys, which Smith says will be mailed this week, will be
followed by personal interviews with employers of the 500 largest local workforces. The results
of the questionnaires and interviews will then be compiled into a directory that "will offer a
complete view of our county employment picture," says Smith.
The directory will also give employers a chance to publicize their organizations and clarify
their individual hiring needs and practices, Smith explains. In addition, it will reduce the
number of "unproductive and repetitous employment Interviews by giving potential employees more
accurate information on local job prospects."
Sponsored by Evergreen's Office of Career Planning and Placement, the project was conceived
by Cheryl Phillips, director of the Thurston County CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training
~ \. She patterned her proposal after a Whatcom County directory published by CETA and
{' : tern Washington University and was granted CETA funds to hire the three-person directory team,
iuding Smith, Marianne Christian and S_amiy. Degner.
The three intend to complete their project by the end of July. Once it's published, the
new directory will then be mailed to persons in employment counseling fields and offered to
employers and job seekers, alike, through Evergreen's Bookstore. For further information on the
Thurston County Employer Resource Directory, contact its coordinators at 866-6136, room 3232 of
the Library.

MARY WATKINS RETURNS FOR TWIN CONCERTS
Recording artist Mary Watkins, singer, songwriter and pianist, returns to Olympia Satir
January 26 for two concerts at Evergreen. Watkins, who records with a California women's cc
ive called Olivia Records, performs at 7 and 9:30 Saturday evening in the Recital Hall of Ev*.
green's Communications Building in her only appearance anywhere in the Pacific Northwest.
Described by reviewers as "a musician's musician," Watkins has applied her multifaceted
talents to the music of such artists as Holly Near and Teresa Trull, both of whom she accompanied
on their tours to Evergreen three years ago. She's composed classical works for a number of
civic orchestras and earned her credentials as an accompanist for fellow recording artists,
modern dance groups, jazz bands, and church choirs, in addition to her tenure as musical director
for Ebony Impromptu, a black theater group in Washington, D.C.
Following release of her first album, "Something Moving," Watkins has increasingly turned
to solo performances, emphasizing jazz and pop music in her repertoire, which also evidences a
strong gospel and classical influence, with sprinklings of blues, soul and funk.
Well known for her keyboard artistry, Watkins' original music flows with what reviewers hav
labeled "a cohesive spirituality that unites different styles into a satisfying whole." Enriched
by years of training in classical music, which included earning a degree in music composition
from Howard University, Mary Watkins writes music that has been described as "uplifting, wellcomposed and simply beautiful."
Her technique, called "intricate, articulate and superb," is reminiscent of the great jazz
pianists, and for her, the piano appears to be merely an extension of herself.
A benefit performance sponsored by an Evergreen women's production company called Tides
of Change, Watkins' Evergreen shows also feature performances by Abraza, a six-piece women's
jazz band from Olympia.
Advance tickets for both January 26 concerts are on sale now for $4 each at Budget Tapes
and Records and Rainy Day Records in Olympia, at the Evergreen Women's Center, Library 3412,
the It's About Time Bookstore on University Way in Seattle. Tickets will also be so]
for $4.50 at the door of the Communications Building an hour before each show. Additional i
mation on the concerts is available through the Women's Center, 866-6162.
CROWE LAUNCHES NEW LECTURE SERIES
Efforts to explore the passages through which all persons in American society eventually
travel and to share views that bridge the generation gap dominate a free, nine-part lecture
series which began last night at the Olympia branch of the Timberland Regional Library. Called
"Integrity, Identity and Cultural Crisis," the public series will continue Tuesday evenings from
7 to 9 o'clock as Evergreen faculty member Beryl Crowe discusses the works of psychologist Erik
Erickson, whose studies focus on the eight stages of life he believes all mature persons go
through.
The new series, sponsored by the Timberland Regional Library and Evergreen, seeks to involv
both college students and senior citizens in an analysis of Erickson's observations. A student
of Sigmund and Anna Freud, Erickson believes the young, who are involved in identity crises,
and the elders, who face an integrity crisis, must interact or be doomed to inactivity or destruc
tion.
American society, Erickson believes, provides neither the context nor the common vocabulary
by which such cross generational conversations can take place. Filling that void, Evergreen is
offering a Winter Quarter study program that requires students to attend the Tuesday lectures
and converse with local senior citizens about what they're reading in seminars and hearing from
their speakers.
The series, which meets in the east room of the Olympia Library at 8th and Franklin, continues each Tuesday evening through March 11. Complete information is available from the Olym^'a
library, 352-0595 or Beryl Crowe, 866-6763
NEWLY FORMED YACHT CLUB SPONSORS FILMS THURSDAY
A newly formed Evergreen Yacht Club, according to student Rebecca Hood, hopes to revive

Hood says proceeds from the films will be used to sponsor workshops on boating safety and
sailing, and toward upkeep of the fleet, which includes canoes, kayaks, sail boats and rowboats.
TAP OF PHYSICS' AUTHOR TO SPEAK
Dr. Fritjof Capra, author, scholar and physics professor at the University of California
at Berkeley, will offer two presentations on "The Tao of Physics" at Evergreen next month. The
popular author will explore the parallels between the fundamental concepts of modern physics
and the basic ideas in the mystical traditions of the Far East in a major public address February 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the main lobby of the Evans Library Building. He'll follow his Thursday
evening presentation with a seminar discussing the implications of modern physics for science
and society at 9:30 a.m. February 8 on the fourth floor of the Library Building.
Author of "The Tao of Physics," Dr. Capra believes that "science does not need mysticism
and mysticism does not need science; but humanity needs both." He believes modern physics "leads
us to a view of the world which is very similar to the views held by mystics of all ages and
traditions."
Dr. Capra supports his beliefs with research in theoretical high energy physics he has
conducted at the University of Paris, the University of London, University of California at
Santa Cruz and Stanford University. Recipient of a doctorate from the University of Vienna, Dr.
Capra is currently at work on his second book, to be published this year by Simon and Schuster.
He also works at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in California, in addition to his lecture
responsibilities for the university.
Dr. Capra1s Evergreen appearances are sponsored by the Campus Faith Center and Campus Min>'••"«. ^.es of Thurston County. Advance tickets are now on sale for his February 7 lecture at
\• t Day Records and Budget Tapes and Records, both in Olympia, and the Evergreen Bookstore.
. .ance tickets for the talk are $3 general admission or $2.50 for students. Tickets will also
be sold at the door of the Library Building February 7 for $3.50 general admission or $3 for
students.
Dr. Capra's Friday morning seminar will be open only to those who attend the Thursday
evening lecture. Advance tickets for the seminar are $1.50 general admission or $1 for students.
Further details on the programs are available through the Faith Center, 866-6145.
