.... .PHONE-A-TOLRAISES $16,776.. .After eight nights of making more than 4,000 phone calls, an
Evergreen volunteer squad of more than 100 persons has raised $16,776 in pledges for the Evergreen Foundation. Development Director Susan Washburn reports the Phone-A-Thon, which concluded March 3, attempted 4,067 calls, of which 2,702 were completed. From those calls, 406
parents of current students and graduates and 248 alums offered an average pledge of $26; another
893 parents and alums indicated they "will consider" sending a gift, but did not specify an
amount. Washburn predicts those "will considers" will push the total Phone-A-Thon tally over
the $20,000 goal set by this year's fund raisers. She bases her prediction on last year's results: $12,600 was pledged and more than $15,000 received.
...CHOIR PERFORMS SUNDAY...Community and student members of the Evergreen Concert Choir will
present an afternoon performance Sunday, March 15, beginning at 3 p.m. in the second floor lobby
of the Evans Library. The 60-member choir, directed by visiting faculty musician Dr. David Eng1ert, will present V i v a l d i ' s "Gloria" and Bach's "Magnificat," in addition to other classical
selections. Tickets to the Sunday afternoon concert are $3 general admission and• $1 for students
Children will be admitted free.

...CLASSICAL PIANO RECITAL SET MARCH. 16...Classical student pianist Peter Bray will perform an
evening recital Monday, March 16, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Recital Hall of the Communications
Building. Bray, a student of faculty musician Donald Chan, will present selections by Bach,
Chopin, and Debussy in his Monday night program, which is free and open to the public.
.. .SWIMMERS CONCLUDE.,SEASON W1TH._VICTORY,. .Evergreen 's fighting Geoducks concluded their second
i-m season with an impressive victory and a narrow defeat. The men's team, led by Eric Berg and
... 'Fletcher,scored 135 points to beat Portland, Highline and Centralia Community Colleges in the
Northwest Small College Invitational hosted on campus February 28. The women's team, says Coach
Don Martin, performed well but lost to Portland 136 to 101.
The Geoducks this season won three men's meets and one women's contest. But, says Martin, "We
have a young team that has already grown tremendously. Next year we'll be even stronger —
and we'll surprise everyone."

SEAWULFF COMMISSIONING SET SUNDAY

Escorted by the first two vessels of the Geoduck fleet, the sailing cutter, the Seawulff will
be formally commissioned Sunday in ceremonies set to begin at 1 p.m. at Percival Landing in down
town Olympia. The 38-foot wooden vessel will sail into southern Budd Inlet accompanied by two
rowed 21-foot English pilot gigs and the welcoming cheers of community boating enthusiasts and
students and staff from Evergreen who have dedicated more than a decade of dreams, donations, research and sheer hard labor to her creation.
Provost Byron Youtz will greet the ship and her guests in the free public program, which will
feature presentations by Thurston County Commission Chairwoman Karen Fraser, Olympia Mayor Ly 1e
Watson, Board of Trustee Chairman Wes Berglund and President Dan Evans, who will recall the ship's
history and offer a vision of her future use as a research vessel for the college's marine studies
program.
Offering their perspectives on the Seawulff will be Faculty Member Jim Gulden, who helped
direct students during her construction; Stewart Hells,who will represent student boatbuilders; an
Olympia realtor Doris St. Louis, who shared responsibilities with faculty member Neils Skov for
raising funds to rebuild the bo'at after her first hull was destroyed by fire in May, 1975.
On hand to help commission the Seawulff will be Ralph Smith of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, father
01 the late Reid Hulff, an Evergreen student boatbuilder for whom the ship is named. Assisting
him in raising the 12-foot-long commissioning flag will be Seawulff Captain and faculty member
Pete Sinclair, and her crew, comprised of faculty members Charles McCann, Bob Filmer, Bob Sluss,
Gulden, Beryl Crowe and Dave Milne, and Boston Harbor boater Don Fassett, a retired engineer who
contributed countless hours of volunteer labor over a four-year period and supervised the final
stages of Seawulff construction this fall.
Olympia Sea Scouts will also be on hand to present and retire the colors, Evergreen student
musicians Allen Levy, Theresa Connor, Sally Morre and Steve Guthe wi11 perform sea chanties, Jo
Garceau of the Campus Christian Center will offer an invocation and Brother Ronald of Saint
Martin's College will deliver the benediction.
Following the ceremony, the public will be invited, from 2 to 4 p.m., to tour the boat, whicl"
will conclude the festivities by sailing back to her berth at the West Bay Marina, Also open for
public inspection Sunday will be cruisers from the Coast Guard Auxiliary flotilla.
"take us part way"

EVANS ASKS LEGISLATORS FOR THEIR "HALF OF THE BARGAIN"

President Dan Evans went to the House of Representatives Tuesday to outline Evergreen's
accomplishments in meeting enrollment and other goals set in statute by the 1979 legislature and
to ask lawmakers to meet "the other half of the bargain."
Speaking to members of the House Appropriations Education Committee, Evans cited Fall and
Winter Quarter enrollment statistics as proof the college's plan to reach educational and enrollment goals is working. "We are," he declared, "accomplishing what you called upon us to accom, ish." But, he noted, it's now time for the legislature to provide the college the opportunity
\ continue growing and the support to fund that growth. "It's terribly difficult for us to be
asked to grow, to respond to that request well, and then to turn it off," he said, especially
"if you have a continuous, long-range and well thought out program for growth like the one we
think we've developed."

- 2RETURN FORMULA TO 72%

He urged that legislators "take us at least part way" to an enrollment target that's between
the figures originally proposed by the Council for Postsecondary Education and the targets idea4"4
fied by Governor John Spellman's budget package. The president also urged legislators to retuK
the college's funding formula support level to 72%. "Further decline in support levels leads to
a decline in academic quality" for all the higher educational institutions, he said, but particularly for Evergreen which'depends on small seminars and a 20 to 1 student to faculty ratio.
Evergreen's "special problem" in student services support also deserved note, Evans pointed out.
"We're the most isolated of all the state's campuses," he said. "Our students can't walk to the
nearest drug store." Therefore, he noted, Evergreen has a greater need for some student services
at the same time the small size of the campus makes the student services formula inappropriate
and inadequate.
Faculty salaries also drew special attention from Evans, who pointed out that the salaries
for faculty in higher education were $5,000 a year lower than salaries for teachers in the highes
common school districts. He concluded his brief presentation by urging funding of the college's
capital request, asking for money for repair of the roofs on the Library and Seminar Buildings an
to complete the athletic fields. "We're half done and we want to finish the fields,"he said,
"even if we have to accept a scaled down plan" He also requested consideration for a gymnasium.
Committee members, who had agreed to hold questions until after the president's presentation
focused their inquiries on the non-traditional nature of the college, on the reliance on internships, and on the exact numbers of students Evergreen could enroll in the next biennium.
"CURRICULUM SHOCK" A PROBLEM?

Representative Dick Barrett of Spokane cited CPE concerns for the college's lack of traditio
al structure, pointed out that the University of Washington turns away some 20,000 students a
year and asked "why don't they drift down" to Evergreen? "Are we expecting Evergreen to meet
traditional needs that the school will never be able to satisfy?" he inquired. Do students who
come to Evergreen suffer what he called "curriculum shock?" Might it not have been better, h^
asked, if Evergreen had a more traditional approach to begin with? Evans pointed out the changes
the college has made to address CPE concerns, including the establishment of more predictable
career and curriculum pathways and the nine academic specialty areas. He argued that the college
has continued to grow and that Evergreen's alternative nature is one of the special ingredients
enriching the state's system of higher education, a system, he declared, that is nationally
recognized.
Barrett, a firt-term legislator, continued to question the traditional nature of the college
and its ability to serve southwest Washington. "Are we being fair to the people of southwest
Washington, providing them only with Evergreen?" he asked. "Should we have another major college
in this area" and take Evergreen out of having to try to meet the needs of traditional students
altogether? "Is Evergreen for everyone?" Evans quickly answered the college was "not for the
majority of students," adding that he doubted "any college in the country can make that claim."
He said Evergreen is, instead, for the student who has the intellectual ability to succeed in
higher education, an enthusiasm for his/her own education, and a willingness to share in the
process of directing one's own education.
Representative Dan Grimm of Puyallup voiced awareness of Evergreen's "rigorous" courses, but
questioned the college's reliance on internships, noting that he gained on-the-job training durin
vacations and after graduation, not while attending college. Representative Ren Taylor of
Spokane, a retired school superintendent, said he felt internships were "the most practical thing
Evergreen has going for it," adding that "if anything" he would "insist" on students taking a
year out for such experiences. "I suspect that's why Evergreen's placement is so good," he added
Committee Chair Dan McDonald of Bellevue asked Evans how many students he thought the colleg
could enroll in the next biennium. "If we give you 450 more FTE, can you fill it?" he asked. "I
think we'd have a very real chance," the president responded. "If we have to take something out
of the budget, what would you give up the least reluctantly?" McDonald added. "We'd have to ( >
or stop our growth rate," Evans said. "We can't continue to grow in student numbers and thin out
support for them." Another legislator asked if Evans was advocating a tax increase. "No," the
president smiled, "just a smaller tax decrease."

- 3 -

Representative Delorls Teutsch of northern King County, asked for statistics on
college's hiring of women and minorities. When told that 16 of TESC's top 38 positions were
filled by women, she said, "You've got the best (affirmative action) record so far."
Representative Frank Warnke of Auburn highlighted the question session for campus representa:, ( es in the audience when he observed that Evergreen has to spend a great deal of time combating
bad imagery caused by the legislature. "You have done a good job of educating students," he told
Evans, "but now you have to educate legislators." "Some are slow learners," Evans quipped, "but
once they learn, they retain very very well."
Evergreen's budget request will be included as part of the House version of the budget which,.
when passed by the Appropriations Education Committee, will go to the House Ways and Means
Committee and on to the Senate, which is preparing its own version and so far has not announced
plans to conduct individual budget hearings.
SEMESTER SWITCH TOPIC OF TUESDAY FORUMS

Two all-campus forums to discuss the pros and cons of switching the college calendar from a
quarterly to a semester system will be conducted Tuesday, March 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
and from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., both on the second floor of the College Activities Building.
The open forums coincide with distribution this week of a detailed analysis on the benefits
and detractions of adopting the semester system prepared by Faculty Member Peter Elbow and members
of the Calendar Change Disappearing Task Force.
The change, says Elbow, would mean fall classes would start in very early September and
continue through the third week of December; spring sessions would begin middle or late January
and conclude by mid-May. Arguments for such a change, he says, "are strong enough that they
should be seriously considered."
Such consideration follows what he calls a "dramatically increasing trend" throughout the
country for colleges to adopt the semester system, which is in practice at 53 percent of the
nation's colleges and universities.
SAVES MONEY

Arguments for the switch focus on the amount of time, money and energy saved by having fewer
beginning and concluding activities with two major study sessions per year rather than three.
Greeners would gain a full week of instruction simply by eliminating one evaluation week. Additionally, everyone would have only two sets of evaluations to write, and program planning, advising, registration, financial aid negotiation and a number of other major activities would be reduced by one third.
Students and faculty would also gain a longer out-of-school break between semesters, which
would permit staff to completely finish the work of one semester before immediately tackling the
next one. Proponents of the semester switch also point out that academic programs would be better
planned because faculty would be required to prepare for the coming year during the last two weeks
of May; student attrition between quarters might well be reduced and a longer study period would
give more time for fully developing program themes and building group cohesion.
FEWER CHOICES?

Opponents of the change largely zero in on student choice. "Students will perceive less
flexibility in the curriculum," they point out. "The need to conceptualize programs in larger
blocks may mean the demise of specialized programs that can be offered in one-quarter length periods but which would not draw enough students to warrant a one-semester length period." Semester
programs and classes may also be less attractive to part-time students. Students enrolled in
programs they don't like would be stuck there longer." It's also argued that the semester system
would allow insufficient time in the fall for orientation and that curricular planning might be
less productive in May "due to faculty fatigue."
The change would also mean some "cash flow problems" for students who would have to come up
th two bigger chunks of money ($309 at present rates) rather than three at $206. The new
system would also require some policy changes for the Library, the Registrar's Office, and
Computer Services. The impact on the latter could be substantially reduced if the decision to
switch is made this summer, since Computer Services is gaining new equipment that must be programed anew anyway.
Other less easily predicted impacts are also examined in the two-page analysis offered by

the DTP and suggested as necessary reading before Tuesday's forum. Following those sessions, DTP
members will appear at academic program meetings and at the first faculty meeting of next quarter
to more fully explore the issue. Recommendations will then be developed and sent on to Provost
Byron Youtz.
TRUSTEES TO REVIEW ATHLETIC PLAN THURSDAY

Discussion of plans to implement the college's 17-sport intercollegiate athletics program
will be the subject of discussion Thursday, March 12 when the Board of Trustees convenes at 10:30
a.m. in Library 3112. Athletic Director Pete Steilberg is expected to present his 20-page analysis
of the costs for each sports program, and offer six major recommendations affecting the future of
the three-year-old sports program.
Also on tap for Thursday's open meeting will be discussion of a resolution granting authority
to the college lobbyist, consideration of specific issues for which Evergreen may wish to lobby,
a report on the recently completed Phone-A-Thon (see page 5), and an update by student James Garey
on activities of the Student Information Network. Trustees may also hear a report on the default
rate of Evergreen students in repaying their National Defense Student Loans, and on the numbers
of persons who have taken advantage of the one quarter credit hour courses.
OFF-CAMPUS REGISTRATION BEGINS SUNDAY

The first of four off-campus registration sessions for Spring Quarter classes at Evergreen
will be conducted Sunday, March 8, at the South Sound Center Mall in Lacey. Earlyse Swift, educational outreach coordinator, says she'll staff a registration table in the Lacey Mall near Leed's
shoe store Sunday afternoon from noon to 4 o'clock. She'll also conduct registration at the state
capitol campus Tuesday, March 10, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the lobby of Office Building II (DSHS)
. -,
and Thursday, March 12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the lobby of the General Administration Building
Of-campus registration for spring sessions will also be conducted Saturday, March 21, from
noon to 4 p.m. at the Bon Marche at Captiol Mall on Olympia's westside.
/
On-campus registration continues at Evergreen by appointment only weekdays through April I
Part-time students may register without an appointment between the hours of 5:30 and 7 p.m.
March 30 and 31 and April 1 and 2. All registration for spring classes must be completed by
Friday, April 3.

BUDGET HEARINGS CONCLUDE

By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
With the completion of the House Appropriations Education Committee Budget Hearings on
Evergreen (see page 1) and on Western Washington University this week, the budget hearings for
four-year institutions concluded in the House. It appears that no individual institutional budget
hearings will be held in Senate Ways and Means. The Senate is expected to move its budget bill
some time later this month, while the House Appropriations Education Committee continues with
work sessions on the budget.
Additional hearings in the Senate Higher Education Committee on tuition and fees were cancell
ed this week, and it is possible that movement of tuition and fee bills will coincide with passage
in the Senate of the budget bill itself. Appeals Board merger and Personnel Board merger bills
continue thus far to exclude the Higher Education Personnel Board system. The Senate bill providing for athletic tuition waivers remains on the Senate second reading calendar without action
thus far this week. All in all, it has been a relatively quiet week for Higher Education measures
in the Legislature.

PHONE-A-THQN NETS $16,776 IN PLEDGES

After eight nights of making more than 4,000 phone calls an Evergreen volunteer squad of more
than 100 persons have raised $16,776 in pledges for the Evergreen Foundation.
Development Director Susan Washburn reports the Phone-A-Thon, which concluded Tuesday night,
attempted 4,067 calls, of which 2,702 were completed. From those calls, 406 parents of current
students and graduates and 248 alums offered an average pledge of $26; another 893 parents and
alums indicated they "will consider" sending a gift, but did not specify an amount. Washburn
predicts those "will considers" will push the total Phone-A-Thon tally over the $20,000 goal set
by this year's fund raisers. She bases her predictions on last year's results: $12,600 was
pledged and more than $15,000 received.
IMMERS CONCLUDE SEASON WITH VICTORY

Evergreen's fighting Geoducks concluded their second swim season with an impressive victory
and a narrow defeat. The men's team, led by Eric Berg and Rex Fletcher, scored 135 points to bea

hosted on campus February 28. The women's team, says Coach Don Martin, performed well but lost t
Portland 136 to 101.
The Geoducks this season won three men's meets and one women's meet. But, says Martin, (
"We have a young team that has already grown tremendously. Next year we'll be even stronger —
and we'll surprize everyone."

EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS

Alice Parsons has become the first woman coach hired by the college and the Geoduck's first
tennis coach. Ms. Parsons, a former coach for North Thurston High School, was named last week by
Athletic Director Pete Steilbergj, to direct both men and women students' tennis activities for th
new Geoduck squad, which hopes to take to the courts later this spring.
Brad Clemmons has been formally named chief graphics designer, according to College Relation
Director Chuck Fowler. Clemmons, who has held the position on an acting basis for the past sever
months, has formally hired as his assistant designer Mark Clemens (no relation), who has also
served the staff for the past several months.
Jeannie An drews, bookstore order services coordinator, has been named acting bookstore
manager, temporarily assuming the responsibilities held by founding manager Doris McCarty, who
leaves the college March 13 for a new job in Denver. Donnagene Ward, who formerly has been devoti
half her time to conference coordinating and half her time to bookstore accounting, has become
full-time conference coordinator and is expected soon to move her office outside the bookstore,
into a new location to be determined in the CAB.
Faculty Member Fred Stone reports he recently presented a paper on "Tropical Cave Biology
and Evolution" at the Northwest Regional Speleological Association Symposium on Cave Science
conducted at the University of Washington. Stone, a visiting professor here for the past two
years, will travel to Thailand this summer to conduct research on cave biology. Next fall he
expects to be in Hawaii working on his dissertation on Thai rice farming and, he hopes, conducting studies of Hawaiian lava tubes.
-An anonymous but usually reliable source reports we have coined another Evergreenese, a new
word that described college programs and had to be defined to all but the anointed few. The word
"interstitial" was new campus rhetoric for those academic disciplines and/or faculty members,
whose disciplines fell "between the cracks" of the specialty areas and planned curricular ofTV.ings. We're not even sure how to spell it, but it no longer matters because this catchy new
phrase has already been banned from all official academic discussions.

...WASHINGTON POLITICAL WRITER TO SPEAK THURSDAY...Richard Dudman,the chief Washington correspondent for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, will present a free talk on "The Reagan Revolution
in Foreign Affairs," Thursday, March 5, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Library lobby. Dudman, an
award-winning reporter who has covered the nation's capitol since 1954, comes to Evergreen as
the first of six prominent visitors in the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows Program.
Evergreen is one of only three public colleges in the nation chosen this year to participate in the Fellows Program, which seeks to encourage the flow of ideas between academic and
non-academic worlds and to help students better see the relations between a liberal education
and their lives after graduation. To achieve those goals, the Foundation selects colleges and
univerisites to receive six visitors for one week each over a three-year period.
Dudman arrives at Evergreen March 1 for a week of conferences with faculty and students,
and the major Thursday night lecture. He brings to the campus more than 30 years covering
political events that have taken him around the world ten times and involved him in a dozen
wars and revolutions, two close brushes with death, and imprisonment in Cambodia.

...NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOCUS OF WEDNESDAY LECTURE...Sam Day, a life-long journalist who has dedicated his recent activities to increasing public awareness about the threat of nuclear weapons,
,vill explore the question: "Nuclear Technology and Civil Liberties: Can We Have Both?" in a
free public address Wednesday, March 4, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall Three. Day
currently serves as a representative of the Nuclear Weapons Facilities Project, a national
organization dedicated to "heightening public awareness of the dangers of nuclear weapons production" and sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee and the Fellowship of Reconciliation.
The Evergreen visitor gained national fame in 1979 when the Justice Department tried unsuccessfully to block him from publishing an article about secrecy in the U.S. hydrogen bomb
program. The article, "The H-Bomb Secret: How We Got It, Why We're Telling It," was finally
published by Day in The Progressive (a national political journal of commentary and analysis)
after a six-month legal battle and an historic federal court case.
...UNSOELD CENTER TO OPEN WEDNESDAY...Dr. Tom Hornbein, one of the five Americans who, along
with the late Faculty Member Willi Unsoeld, climbed Mt. Everest in 1963, headlines a two-hour
open house of the Unsoeld Outdoor Education Center Wednesday, March 4, beginning at 5 p.m. in
Lecture Hall Three. Dr. Hornbein will discuss his mountain climbing adventures with Unsoeld
and his new book about Mount Everest, called "The West Ridge." Also participating in the free
Wednesday program will be President Dan Evans, Provost Byron Youtz, and student Eric Kessler,
coordinator of the center.
Located in Library 3234, the Unsoeld Center is dedicated to "continuing the spirit of
experiential outdoor education" and houses a variety of tapes, photographs and writings of Unsoeld and former student Janie Diepenbrock, who both died in an avalance on Mount Rainier two
years ago Wednesday. A tour of the center, including a new display of photographs of Unsoeld
and Diepenbrock, concludes the Wednesday afternoon program.
...INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY will be celebrated this weekend with an array of activities,
including panel discussions on women's unity, exotic foods bazaar, international singing and
dancing performances, workshops, a three-mile road run, and a concert by Seattle vocalist
Maggie Savage. Events get underway Saturday when all area women are invited to gather at the
Olympia Community Center for the international foods bazaar, open from 1-2 p.m. and the
performances of ethnic songs and dances from 2-4 p.m. Activities continue Sunday, officially
International Women's Day, when the Evergreen Women's Center hosts a ten-hour program, beginning with an opening circle ceremony at noon on the fourth floor of the Library. Call
