the student organization.

"think of anyoneTntlle"administration who is not enthusiastic about ~JashPIRG," although he did advocate
the use of a positive check-off system during quarterly registration for students to indicate their willingness to pay WashPIRG a fee of $2.50.

Evergreen student representatives Devra
,,
Reldock and Annette Newman, and ~lash PIRG Execut1Ve Director K1m Ne~rom Seattle spoke on behalf of the organizat10n. They pointed out that
automatic fees, which would be refundable on demand,
would be the easiest to administer and would make
HashPIRG accountable to the student body, as would
two-year referendums held by the chaoter which would
give students the opportunity to vote on whether
WashPIRG should continue at Evergreen.
With a comment from Gelman that he hadn ' t "seen
this many students at a Trustees' meetino since I've
sat on the Board," the Trustees voted 5-b to aoprove
a WdshPIRG chapter at Evergreen in concept, but withheld final approval of the contract until ouestions
about the referendums and refundable fees were clarified.
In other action, the Trustees approved a summer
tuition rate of $314 for resident and non-resident
students; approved an extension of President Evans'
contract (see story below); and approved a provision
for three-year faculty appointments beyond the aoe
of 70. The Board followed this action ~Y makino

just shifted into high gear and rolled right~ ~~ong.
The overall goal set for the 1983 Phone-A-Thon

-- --It will be a dual editorship for the COOPER POINT
JOURNAL this quarter as two people have.been.hired to
act as co-editors. ~ ~ and Er1c Br1nker have
been selected by the Oommun1cations Board to run the
paper during Spring Quarter.
Both bring unique qualifications to the positio~
according to Board Chairman Dave Ammons. Eric has
worked at both the CPJ and K~i~ous capacities
and appointment as editor seems the next logical step,
Duane has extensive experience in business and sales,
including work at Shelton!s KMAS Radio. They expect
to work closely with all campus groups to bring a
greater coverage of all college activities. In addition, they expect to improve relations with local businesses to gain additional revenue for the paper. "We

had a numbe~ ?f very wo.ll-oualified individuals apply
for the pos1t1on," Ammons said. "The decision was
difficult; , but I believe Duane and Eric are the best
choices at this time."
Evergreen received a VISITOR FROH AUSTRALIA in late
Director of Admissions at
Perth, Australia, came through
Olymoia on a Traveling Fulbri~ht Fellowship to see how
student recruitmo.nt was done in the Northwest.
Osbourne, who was traveling by car with his wife and
two sons, had already stooped at several universities
in California and planned to visit almost a dozen more
in Canada and the U.S. before the end of his fourmonth junket. His visit with staff members at Evergreen uncovered several similarities between our college and Murdoch. Like Evergreen, Murdoch is a young
college, having opened its doors only seven years ago,
has an enrollmo.nt of 3500 students, must compete with
larger universities within its own state, and has had
to battle rumors of closure. Unlike Everareen Mu~­
doch's enrollment consists almost entirely of - ~tudents
from the city of Perth, which contains over 90 percent
of the entire pooulation of Western Australia.
Osbourne- said it is unheard of for students in
Aust~alia to ao to colleqe in a different state.
And
yes, it's a small world: -although Murdoch University
is not named for international publishina magnate
Rupert Mtlrdoch, it is named for his areat uncle,
Sir Walter.
