WOODBURY NAMED ACADEMIC DEAN
Faculty historian Ron Woodbury has this week been named to a two-year appointment as assistant academic dean. His appointment, announced by Provost Byron Youtz, begins September 1 and
fills the post currently held by Richard Alexander, who is returning to the faculty this fall.
A former school board president in Tumwater, Woodbury brings to the new assignment enthua
asm for "helping the college face the crucial challenges ahead." As he sees it, Evergreen is
"at a crossroad in its history, both because of pressures caused by budget cuts and the demand
for increased enrollment and because we're about to replace our chief academic officer and
possibly, within the next year, our president as well."
With nearly ten years experience as a member of the faculty, Woodbury says he sought the
appointment at this time because he thinks "it is especially important for the next two years
to have experienced Evergreeners — those who have taught full-time in regular programs —
serve in the academic administration." He believes his own experience is especially applicable
since he has taught in an array of academic programs, from humanities to computer sciences and
math, from social sciences to writing and management. He has also worked with Evergreen faculty
as a Danforth visitor helping them improve their teaching skills, and he's even devoted one
quarter's work to the Admissions Office preparing curriculum materials, which gave him insight
into the need to clearly explain our curriculum to those outside the campus.
In addition, the new dean has been "as involved as just about anyone" in Evergreen's
governance, from serving on numerous disappearing task forces, including the accreditation selfstudy team, to participating actively in faculty meetings and in efforts to organize a faculty
union.
"I want to be part of the crucial transitions we're about to face," Woodbury says. "The
next two years will be an exciting and demanding time to serve in the deanery."
Woodbury joined Evergreen's faculty in 1972 following three years of teaching at the
University of California at Irvine. He holds a bachelors' degree in economics from Amherst
College (which is also the alma mater of Dean John Perkins), and a masters and doctorate in
history from Columbia University.

COOPER EXPLAINS HIRING FREEZE IMPLICATIONS
Questions about how and when and if to fill staff vacancies which have occured or will
before mid-July can't be answered simply, according to Director of Employee Relations Rita Cooper.
In an interview on campus Wednesday Cooper encouraged all supervisors who have or expect to
have staff vacancies within the next two months to begin work with her immediately on how best to
fill those positions. "When the Governor ordered the state hiring freeze, we interpreted it to
mean that the state shall experience no increase in employment levels before July 15 and that
Evergreen shall be restricted until then from increasing its staff full-time equivalent level,"
Cooper explained.
To stay within that level, the college is examining each vacancy individually, trying first
to determine "where the real vacancy — the one that would require filling a position from the
outside" will occur, Cooper says. "What we have to determine is the domino effect of each vacancy
If a person in one office leaves and that job is filled by an internal promotion or transfer,
that leaves a different vacancy, which in turn might be filled on campus or might require an offcampus search," she adds. "We want to track each vacancy through to determine exactly where the
vacancy will occur internally and set a priority for filling that post before July 15."
Ideally, Cooper suggests employers try to "make do" until July 15. "I encourage superyi$ j
to go ahead and announce their vacancies, recruit applicants, conduct interviews, but not hire
before July 15," she advises. "If they can't make do, we have a couple of options: we can make
their position a high priority and fill it by not filling some other job or we can appeal to the
Office of Financial Management for an exemption."
In either case, Cooper needs complete information on any current or projected vacancies
within the next week, so she can prepare the college's exemption request for OFM and better help
supervisors meet their staffing requirements.

Sweden, Denmark, Mexico, Switzerland, Australia, Pakistan, West Germany, Brazil and South Africa
"It's an ambitious undertaking," Hitchens admits. "But each four-five member student team

complete rehearsal of the entire program and they're ready to share the learning they've gained
this year."

making their U.S. debut in New York City in 1976 as cultural exchange visitors.
Former dancers in residence at the Naropa Institute of Boulder, Colorado, the two have
earned wide acclaim, critics report, for "their ability to create exciting visual pictures
whose impact remains long after the performance." Their appearances demonstrate, say reviewers,
"the triumph of painstaking planning and design as well as physical and emotional depth. Their
movement is stunningly original and perfectly suited to the concept they communicate."
"They possess," adds Los Angeles Times critic Lewis Segal, "the imagination and mastery
of the artist who can capture the essence of this subject in a single brush stroke."
Eiko and Koma's Olympia appearance is the final production of the 1981-82 Evergreen
Expressions performing arts series, sponsored in part by Patrons of South Sound Cultural Activities, the Washington State Arts Commission and T.he Evergreen State College Foundation. Tickets

- 6"THE CORNER" TO REMAIN IN STUDENT HANDS; HELP SOLICITED FOR PLANNING EFFORT
by student Doug Ligare
£•"
Ken Jacol^, Director of Auxiliary Services, has announced that neither the college nor
Saga Food Services is now interested in having Saga manage food operations of The Corner, a
student-run evening restaurant and social area in Residence Hall A. Jacob made the announcement
at an open meeting Tuesday in the Corner to discuss Auxiliary Services' plans to renovate and
enlarge that facility.
Jacob opened the meeting by saying that both student opinion expressed during the past
two weeks and Saga's lack of interest in taking over the small operation dictated against a chang
away from student management. He said he welcomed a student proposal for how to make
use of the enlarged space and that his only concern was that The Corner serve as wide a range
of students as possible.
Jon Collier, staff architect, also participated in Tuesday's meeting, first seeking
students' "blessing" for the general proposal to enlarge and renovate the space,then fielding
questions and suggestions about specific design features.
The meeting concluded with a discussion of the process by which students will decide what
takes place in The Corner next year. Jacob stated the end of May would have to serve as a
deadline for completion of the student proposal and the drafting of plans, since construction
will begin in June. Judith Johnson, founder and manager of the present Corner, said that while
student committees had already started to tackle some of these issues, much of the work remains
to be done and will hinge on the results of surveys passed out last week. She invited all
present to join the planning process and said she hoped next year's Corner will reflect the
desires of all interested students, not just those who use it now.
Persons interested in contributing ideas or taking part in the planning may call 866-5129
or 866-5065, or leave a message at The Corner. Those with interest or experience in food,
design, management or entertainment are especially encouraged to volunteer.

4400-mile goal
EVERGREEN SENIOR SEEKS SUPPORT FOR GREAT ALASKA BIKE TREK
Meg Mitchel1 is willing to put her muscles on the line for the cause she's most dedicated
to, even if it means peddling a bicycle more than 4,400 miles from Anchorage, Alaska to Long
Beach, California as part of an 80-day bike trek. The arduous adventure begins June 11 as a
fund raising effort for the Mental Health Association of Washington and ends August 28, when
the last of the dedicated 20 volunteers rides into Long Beach.
Mitchell, an Evergreen senior from St. Louis, Missouri who has been working on a study of
Oregon state agricultural and food systems as an intern with Rodale Press the past two quarters,
has committed to participating in the trek and personally raising more than $1,000 in support
for the Association. To do so, she's hoping to enlist Evergreen sponsors for at least a penny
per mile (that is a quick $44) or for purchase of one of her $10 silk-screened T-shirts.
Supported in part by contributions from numerous corporations, the "Great Alaska Bike Trek"
offers the peddlers more than what supporters describe as "an awesome physical challenge." It
gives the volunteers, who range in age from 15 to 70, an opportunity to live in the wilderness
of North America's last frontier, to share in a three-month struggle to achieve common goals, to
[ am better how to cope with adversity on a daily basis, and to share their experiences and insights with others, in addition to supporting an important cause: the Mental Health Association.
Meg and her T-shirts will be on hand outside the CAB Tuesdays and Thursdays around lunch
hours during the next four weeks. Stop by and contribute your support.
SCRIMA AND ADMISSIONS TEAM HOST COUNSELORS FRIDAY
More than 50 Washington high school counselors, teachers, staff and even a few students are
expected to attend the annual High School Conference on campus next Friday. Organized by
Admissions Counselor Doug Scrimma, the day-long session will open with a welcoming address by
President Dan Evans and then introduce visitors to the student check-in process through presentations by Dean of Student Services Larry Stenberg, Academic Advisor Russ Fox, and Learning
Resource Center Coordinator Stella Jordan.
Human Development coordinated studies faculty members Willie Parson, Kathleen O'Shaunessy,
Gil Salcedo and Bill Aldridge will then outline their basic program, and a panel of four students
all of whom graduated from Washington high schools, will discuss their experiences at Evergreen.
Panel participants include: senior Karen Mattick, junior William Dean, sophomore Lisa Van Haagen
and freshman Ruth Lowe.
To complete the morning, counselors will be invited to attend a session on financial aid,
educational support services, career planning and placement, minority affairs, intercollegiate
athletics or on-campus room and board services. After a leisurely lunch hosted by the college,
the guests will be invited to attend one more of the above sessions or take a campus tour.
TRUSTEES TO CONSIDER PRIVATE PHONE SYSTEM, VP REORGANIZATION THURSDAY
Evergreen's five-member Board of Trustees facesa jam-packed agenda Thursday, May 13, at a
meeting set to begin at 10:30 a.m. in Library 3112. High on the Board's list of action items
will be consideration of a college-owned telephone system to be installed by the end of Fall
Quarter, possible approval of Vice President Richard Schwartz' plan to reorganize the units
which report to him, and discussion of the 1982-83 budget allocations completed last Friday.
The telephone proposal, already aired at two all-campus meetings, calls for Evergreen to
lease/purchase a Private Branch Telephone Exchange (PBX) that could save the college more than
$620,000 over the next ten years. Recommended by the Office Automation Disappearing Task For
the proposal will enable the college to reduce incoming lines from 229 to 50, own its own eqir.
ment and avoid rental costs, and assume responsibility for its equipment maintenance.
BID PROPOSALS READY
If the plan is approved Thursday, a request for bid proposals will go out immediately. By
the first of July, a special task force comprised of both campus administrators and external
reviewers will examine the proposals and recommend a contract award to the trustees at the July
or August meetings. Once that's done, work can begin to install the new system, which administrators hope will be operational by the end of the year.
Also up for action Thursday will be Schwartz1 plan to reorganize the business units,
precipitated by two major staff vacancies in the Office of Facilities. Schwartz has proposed to
reassign responsiblities and shift his current staff. He seeks to name Business Manager Ken
Winkley director of Facilities, but have him retain authority over Central Services. Chief
Accountant Karen Wynkoop would assume the position of Controller and take on many of Winkley's
current responsibilities, and Budget Officer Mike Bigelow would assume additional staff responsibilities, including Purchasing, Internal Audit and Campus Planning. And Director of
Auxiliary Enterprises Ken Jacob would assume responsibility for Security in addition to Housing,
Conferences, Food Services and the Bookstore.
The Schwartz plan has prompted objections from Facilities Engineer Parrel 1 Six who last
month asked trustees to appoint a committee to examine the proposal and review qualifications
of the personnel whose responsibilities are most affected.
Thursday's meeting will also include a report by President Dan Evans and Budget Officer
Mike Bigelow on results of the latest budget allocation process. The new budget reflects
$276,392 in reductions required by recent actions of the governor and the state legislature.
Those reductions cut five visiting faculty positions ($150,000), reduced utilities by 11 perd t
($81,000), cut academic computer equipment ($11,000), reduced travel in several budgets ($7500)
and cut instructional support ($7000), as well as numerous other smaller reductions.
3% RAISE
The budget proposal grants faculty and exempt staff a three percent raise which equals very
nearly the step increases projected for classified staff. It delays the beginning of the masters
degree program in environmental sciences by one year (to fall of 1984) and creates what Evans
calls "a very small reserve" for next year.
"We desperately hope that this is the last sort of budget exercise we'll have to go through
during this biennium," Evans told budget unit heads last Friday. "But we're still worried."
The Office of Financial Management is concerned about continuing erosions of income, which Evans,
felt could prompt more cuts later "in the year. With that in mind, he asked budget heads "not
to go ahead with purchasing items that we can legitimately hold until later in the year" to
protect the reserve and prevent another budget cutting exercise.
His report to trustees Thursday will be followed by final action on the budget plan at the
June meeting.
In other action Thursday, trustees are expected to consider adoption of the risk covenant
policy, a corrective employment program, and a suspended operations policy. They'll also
adopt their own goals and objectives for next year and approve a final 1982-83 tuition rate
schedule. In addition, they'll be asked to discuss the proposed governance revision, COG IV,
to hear an update on the six-year plan required by the Council for Postsecondary Education,
and to review recommendations by the Student Communications DTF.
- 3FILMER TO DIRECT SUMMER PROGRAM ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Seattle and its waterfront operations will be the site of a summer-long study on intertional trade and shipping which opens for student registration at the May 19 academic fair.
The pilot program, which begins June 21 under the direction of marine studies faculty member
Dr. Robert Filmer, is the first full-time study Evergreen has ever directed at one of this
state's most rapidly growing businesses.
"Washington has the largest container trade on the West Coast," explains Dr. Filmer. 'but
we've not done much in undergraduate higher education in Washington state to help prepare
students for careers in this and associated industries."
Determined to correct that educational oversight, Dr. Filmer, a former ocean engineering
professor at Oregon State University, seeks to provide upper division students with "an understanding of international trade and shipping, particularly as it relates to waterborne commerce
with Pacific Rim countries. Ours will be a practical academic program," he says. "We'll devote
the majority of the summer to studies in Seattle, concentrating on such topics as transportation,
cargo handling, containerization, stevedoring, brokering, freight forwarding, banking, financing
and marketing."
Meeting with business men and women along the waterfront, Dr. Filmer and his students
will also study aspects of port management and operations as they affect international cargo
movement and cargo shipping to Alaska. In the process, students will participate in field trips,
workshops, lectures, seminars and guest presentations by prominent representatives from throughout the maritime industry.
The comprehensive, 16-credit hour course, which continues from June 21 through September 3
is limited to 20, students who will be admitted on the basis of a questionnaire they complete
and an interview they undergo with Dr. Filmer. "We're most interested in students with a
business or marine studies background," he says. "We seek those who are serious about their
studies and willing to approach this program with a totally professional attitude."
Details on "International Trade Perspectives" are available now from Dr. Filmer at
6-6159.
AB REMODELING PROPOSAL TOPIC OF MAY 12 MEETING
A proposal to remodel portions of the third floor of the College Activities Building this
summer to accommodate more student offices will be presented at an all-campus meeting Wednesday,
May 12, from 11 a.m. to noon in CAB 306.
Dean of Student and Enrollment Services Larry Stenberg says the proposal is part of a
long-range goal to "make the third floor an expanded hub of student activities as has been proposed by a number of campus studies in recent years." Outlining;! the project with him Wednesday
will be Lynn Garner, director of Student Activities, and Jon Collier, staff architect.
The project, which Stenberg hopes can be completed before Fall Quarter begins, would
enable the offices of the Cooper Point Journal and the Environmental Resource Center to be moved
from the first to the third floor of the CAB, along with a few other student groups now housed
on the third floor of the library.
The purpose of Wednesday's meeting is to "gather student reactions and suggestions," adds
Stenberg. "We hope everyone involved in student activities will attend."

GREENERS FORM THEATER TROUPE. TAKE SHOW TO TACOMA NEXT WEEKEND
An industrious team of Evergreeners have formed their own theater troupe, crowned it the
"Royal Olympian Shakespeare Company" and booked it in Tacoma for four evening performances of
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" May 14-15 and May 21-22.
The brand new troupe views the Tacoma presentations as the first leg of what they hope will
be a successful effort to "get the contemporary classics out and about in western Washington,"
according to company producer Lewis Pratt, who also serves as the group's stage manager and
p.r. man. United by their affiliation with Evergreen and their love of the theater, the group
seeks, adds Pratt, "to perform wherever particular people congregate."
Their first production opens next Friday at 8 p.m. at Tacoma's Broadway Restaurant and
Dinner Theater with
Edward Albee's award-winning play known for its controversial techniques
and subject matters.
Directed by alum Robert Rodriguez, who'll also direct "Cabar&t" for the Evergreen Summer
Repertory Theater in July, the Tacoma show presents four Evergreen student actors. Karen
tcher and Jeff Noyes appear as Martha and George, the established middle aged couple who
become caught in an escalating war between Nick and Honey, played by Craig Corbett and Rachel
Bleich. The four wage continual, harsh verbal battles, gradually dismantling each other's
psychological well being until they destroy any illusion or pretense of maintaining a relationship.
Tickets for "Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf" are $5 general or $4 for students and senior
citizens. Reservations are available by calling 272-8118 in Tacoma.
