TESC .Plans New Housing
by Charlie Campbell
Rising enrollment has shortened
the time line for new student housing by two years. Within two weeks
a questionnaire will be distributed,
asking students their housing
preferences. it will help determine
the site and style of new housing that
will be built if the Legislature approves . Whether Evergreen may sell
bonds for the needed funds is included in the capital budget request, to
be considered by the Legislature in
June '85. In June it was discovered
that 44 percent more housing
resident s would be returning to
housing this year, than in the
previous years. "Before June, we
were assuming we would not need
new housing for at lea~t three
years," said Ken Jacob Director of
Auxiliary Services.
Opening of the new units would
be in two phases, each of 104 beds.
Tenatively, th e fir st becoming
a\ailable Fall '8/i, the seco nd in the
Fa ll of '87.
The task is 10 balance privacy with
a ,ense of commu nity. Darrel Six,
Head of Enginerring for Evergreen,
believes the new 5t udent body might
have di ffer en t preferences than
students in the past:
"Conversations with so me
qudents who have lert here reveal·
ed they got wetted out, too much
rain, too much darkness, not enough
,o<:iallife . And that's a true story.
So one of the things that we want to
do is to build some esprit de corps
between the living units. If you have
another pod over here or over there
it gives the students the level of
privacy ' they want, but the other
thing it tends to do is continue
separation and isolation. There is a
certain amount of esprit de corps living in dormitories and, as it turns
out, the change in students have indicated that they prefer thaI. Early
on in the '70's we had people that
would just as soon have an airplane
engine crate in the woods and live in
it. I think that the situation has
changed somewhat in the last thirteen years. We're getting more traditional students, Jess into living in the
woods by themselves. So I think this
demands a different kind of
housing. "
The site currently bein g considered is between the dorms and the
mod~, across the path from the
athletic rield. The style of the new
unit s is largely up to the student s.
"After we've go ne ba(k to stude nt s
two or three limes with drawings of
the units and refined what they think
they wan! ." said Ken Jacoh, "I hope
we hav e time to co nstruct so me
model units for people to live in for
al least a quarter. So t hey can fi nd
out what's wrong with them ... We
consult [the students] till we're blue
in the face ... But the more we do it,
the better chance \\e have of building
a better place to live that complements the students' education.
And then you always have to
balance
it
with
dollars,
unfortunately ...
Expanding housing has been considered three times before. In '72,
eight buildings, holding 400 beds in
all, were to be built between the
dorms and the mods ·- the same site
now being looked at. Weak enrollment shelved the idea.
In '80 a survey revealed most
students preferred the privacy of
smaller units away from the campus
center. The field across Driftwood
Road from Hidden Springs Drive the aptly named road that springs
mysteriously from under the CAB
building - was the selected site for
one and two story buildings in
clusters around the social center. The
site was deemed too remote, being
inconvenient for housing staff and
promising long, dark, wet walks 10
camrus .
In '82 another survey confirmed
slUdent s prefer less cen t ralized hou sing. Plans for structures similar to
the mods were drawn for a site surrounding' F parking lot. Again
enrollment failed to justify the cost.
This time it look s like additional
housing may actually be buill.
Enrollment is up and projected to go
even higher. On ca mpu s housing is
full and has a waiting list. Approrriation by the legislature and
the long design, bid and building
processes still remain, but the
chances for new campus housing in
the, reasonable fulure seem good.

We have completed our initial screening, and, together with the Board of Trustees, have identified eight
semifinali st candidates whom we shall interview as soon as arrangements can be made. All of these semifinalists
seem to be outstanding prospects: each has very substantial campus experience, a distinguished record of commitment to creative academic excellen ce and multicultural va lues, and glowing evaluations from a wide var iety
of sources . Moreover, each has some intrigu ing and truly distinctive qualities that seem to fit well with Evergreen .
. We have no doubt that our next president can be found from among this group, if we all invest ourselves appropriately in the recruitment effort.
Thus it is \ime for us to propose, and to seek your suggestions and refinement of, the basic design of the finalists'
campus visits that will occu r in the first weeks of November . You will recall that we are committed to allowing
th e ca ndidates to share in planning their visits, as part of our recruitment strategy; we expect to learn somethin g
from the way that candidates use this opportun ity. But we want to establish certa in minimal expectations that
are essenti al to an appropriate eva luation of the candidates by the en tire campus community. Please review the
following design and give us your reactions - at one of the meetings to be schedu led or directly in writing.
Before the candidate arrives on campus, he or she will have had a chance to examine our basic documents
(budget, hi story. accreditation report and the current update, organization chart, catalogue, student profile, affirmative action policy and Third Wor ld surv ival manua l, etc .) a nd a nything else that is requested. During the
off-campus int erview, the candidate wi ll have had a chance to ask questions as well as to learn what our committee considers most important. After that interview, the candidate will have a chance to ask for more documentary materials, and to co-p lan the campus visit. (Spouse.s will be invited to join in the visit also.)
We will require a visit of two days duration, although candidates are welcome to stay longer if they desire .
Cand idates can hardly be asked for more, even though that short period means that many groups and individuals
will have less time to meet candidates than we might wish. Well before the candidate arrives on campus, we
shall put multiple copies of his or her dossier on file in the library. Each dossier will include the candidate's
academic vita, and (with candidate'S permission) cop ies of letters or essays that the candidate has addressed to
the committee and publications that show the candidate's views regarding issues affecting higher education . It
will also include a brief introductory essay written by members of the committee, intended to convey our intitial
impressions of the candidate.
The first day on campus begins with a breakfast with the Board of Trustees and meetings with Acting President Schwartz and Academic Vice President-Provost Hill. The candidate will then be asked to make a public
presentation at noon in the Library building, to which alll members of the Evergreen community are invited.
Staff will be authorized to take off compensatory time for lunch, and the presentation will be taped for showing
that night for those unable to attend. The candidate will be asked to talk on a subject of his or her choice involving higher education or the liberal arts, and to address at least some of the questions that Evergreen community
members provide to our committee at one of the meetings schedu led or individually at another time. We hope
that this talk will be widely attended, and that members of the community will take up their questions with the
candidate at one of the several smaller and less formal meetings we have scheduled .
In the afternoon of the first day, the candidate will chair discussion sessions with (a) budget unit heads, and
(b) Deans, conveners, and agenda committee members. There will be an informal staff reception (all invited)
from 4 to 5 pm, where staff members will have opportunities to talk with the candiate about issues that concern
them. The candidate and his or her spouse will have dinner in a small group situation, and then attend discussionoriented dessert and coffee sessions at 7:30 and 8:30 pm with faculty (haJf the faculty will be invited to each session.)
The second day will begin with a breakfast for community members and alumni, and continue with sessions
with Acting Vice President Wynkoop and then the President's reporting unit. At noon, the candiate will meet
with heads of studen t organizations, and then with students generally - a meeting that we hope will generate
discussion lasting until 2 pm. After that, tl1e candidate will be invited to chart his or her own course until a
late-afternoon debriefing with our committee and dinner with the Board of Trustees.
We plan to ask fo r student volunteers, and nominees solicited from various sources, to commit themselves
to (I) a preparatory meeting to discuss the Board's qualifications statement, (2) attendance at every candidate's
lecture and student meeting, and (3) submission of an eva luation for each candidate - in order to assure signiri cant and effective student impact on th e choice we and the Board have to make. Any student is welcome, of
course, to attend any meeting with any candidate and to file an evaluation for that candidate.
We plan to ask all faculty, students. and staff, community members and alumni, and any other Evergreen
community members who attend a meeting with a candidate, to file an evaluation with the committee. Evaluations will be in narrative form, as befits our College. Each will ask in what context the evaluat or heard or met
the candida te, whether the evaluator has in mind any priorities among or refinements of the Board's qualifications statemenr, and then invite an evaluative paragraph. The committee pledges that it will read, take very seriously
in making its recommendation, jnd pass on to the Board, every evaluation so prepared .
We are confident that evaluation call be accomplished in the context of recruiment. No candidate will be invited to campus unless our committee if fully convinced after extensive interviewing and all our background
research that he or she would be an excellent person to have as our president. What the committee and the Board
need - and what only the entire campus community can accomplish - is conviction on the part of each candidate who comes to campus that Evergreen represents a distinctive opportunity .not available anywhere else,
one that the candidate and his or her family will want to leave their pleasant current setting to take up. We want
to show Evergreen at its compelling best. Please help by making suggestions for the improvement of this campus
vis it design, by attending sessions and engaging with the candidate in a manner that makes him or her want
to join us, and by providing your keenest evaluation of the candidates you meet.
Meetings to solicit your reactions and suggestions for improvement in this design will be scheduled as soon
as possible.

Dear Evergreen Community,
Tuesday, October 16, beginning at
9 a.m., an Army recruiter will be sitting in Library Rm. 2·112,
presumably to sign up new recruits.
I don't ever remember an Army
recruiter coming to Evergreen . 1
assume ' the Army has decided
Evergreen students have changeQ,
some, and maybe there are a few of
us who would like to sign up . ('m
sure they're right. But I also have the
feeling the majority of us do not support the military and do not enjoy
having military personnel on our
campus trying to stir up enthusiasm
for their cause.
I propose that on Tuesday, October 16, from 12 .noon until I p.m.,
we all join the Army recruiters for
lunch. Bring your trays from SAGA,
your lunch pails, your books, your
friends, ma~be some informative
literature, some signs, if you wish .
But bring yourselves. Let's have a
big. friendly discussion about the
military on Tuesday at noon, in Lib.
2112 .
.
See you there.
Sincerely and peacefully,
Allison Green

Alums -Describe Life After Evergreen
by Kurt Batdorf
Does life ex ist after Evergreen? Is
there a world beyond these hallow ed concrete wa ll s? These are the
questions I set out to answer, asking Evergreen alumni what sort' of
li ves they've led since leaving TESC.
Most of th e alums I interviewed
haq fo und life after Evergreen in itially oi ffi cu lt. Steve n.Miller, a 1981
graduate, said, "It was difficult getting back to the nine-to-five world.
Everg ree n prepared me for the nineto- fi ve world, but preparing for it
and livin g it are two differen t
things . "
Sta n Tooms, class of '74 , made a
s imilar ub serva ti on. When he
grad uat ed,
Stan
thought
..... Evergreen wou ld give me credentials in order to find employment,
which I discovered later it wouldn't"
Rob Fellows, a 1980 graduate,
probably told of the post-Evergreen
experience most honestly, though .
He said, "Leaving Evergreen can
lead to some kind of' depression for
a while. You leave here feeling co nfident, but unless someone on the
outside knows your work or you,
your confidence goes right out th e
window. You have to prove yourself
a ll over again, and that can be
frustrating ...
There is somc goodness and li ght
among this gloom and doom. Joe
Deere, class of '76, said, "Evergrecn
has been c~ treme ly useful. I use it
eve ryday. and I wouldn't have a job
I have now without it (Evergreen)."
When asked if he thou ght hi s life
had been a success, new Alumni
President Scott Baker respo nded.
"Oh yes, ve ry definitely." He noted
t hat se minars really prepare people
well for the outside world , with all
of its staff meetings, government cnco unters, and all.
Stan Toomes found that graduate
work and a job title have made all
the difference in hi s life. He believes
that all 'Greener graduates should
get some sort of technical or
graduate training in order to have a
more rewarding post -college life.
One graduate, who identified
herself only as Christina, had the
most positive story. She has done a
lot of' volunteer work since
graduating, a nd she believes that
that's important. She made educational videos for Head Sta rt, " .. and
other related things," Chri st ina told
mc.
Shc fcels that her Ii fe has defi nit ely
beell a success si nce leav in g TESC.
Her optimism pr oudly and emphat ically flow s from what she told
me last: "We a.re a very powerful
group of people. We ca n go o ut
there a nd make a differcl1<.:c."
So. as all us present -day ' Grce ll er
st udent s diligently fret over what our
higher education s hath wrought , just
remember a co uple of things about 6000 other folk s have gone
through the same feelings of ambivalence and dread. And for the
most part, they've come out of this
thing quite well, thank you. And just
rem ember what C hri stina said "We are a very powerful group of
people. We ca n go out th ere and
make a difference."
Just remember these thoughts al
future 'Greener grads should survi

grad uate .

Earth
Ascending
by Jose
Argue ll es, ~ former teacher here at
Eve rgreen , is a fo rmidab le and
fasc inatin g work . Arguelles has
created -- he would say discovered
-- a method of cxplaining universal
,ystem s that works equally well on
rhe molecular a nd the galactic levels.
H is treatise is copiously illustrated
with original dra}Vings and diagrams
as well as reproductions of ancient
explanation systems such as the
Tzolkin, the sacred calendar of the
Mesoamerican civilizations.
At first glance Arguelles' conception, and frequently his lan guage,
seem impossibly complex; the
diagrams, or "maps" as he calls
them, are minutely detailed, and he
sometimes uses words in contexts
which do not seem to correspond
precisely with their dictionary definitions (I'm still puzzling over
"synaesthetics"). However, the illustrations support the text in such
a way that· the whole becomes increasingly clear, and by the end, surprisingly convincing. I was delighted

ta ke, a very simple binary
mathematical model, like my on l off
light waves, and expands it to the
o uter reaches of the universe.
Argue ll es fir st creates a spherical
model incorporating three levels of
e~ i s tencc:
heaven , th e elec tromagnetic ; earlh, the gravitational; and man, the biopsychic.
These levels comprise the three

th e so lar -sys tem. the who le
pu lsating. revolving cos mO .I .
Changes within the model, s uch as
su nspots , weather pat tern s, or
biorhythms, can be broken down into simple binary fluctuat ion s of on
and off, positive and negative, yin
and yang. More complex patterns
consist of diffcrent arrangements of
series of onloff fluctuations as exemplified by the I Ching k ua, or hexagrams, pairs of binary triplets.
Arguelles draws a parallel between
the 641 Ching hexagrams and the 64
DNA codons by rendering the four
nucleic acids into the binary code,
any three of which in any combinaion create the "64 DNA
codewords." Thus even the binary
double-helix of the genetic code
common to all living organisms
functions within Arguelles' "law."
Central to Arguelles' system is the
"psi bank," the "planetary biopsychic field," which is "both spontaneous ly produced by and
coproductive of the binary resonant
field, man and nature." The psi
bank is a layer of electro-magnetic
radiation surrounding the earth
which, according to Arguelles, is
simu lt aneously produced by "biopsychic" activity on earth, that is,
the collect ive mind of man and
nature , and by negative ly charged
solar radiation encountering a
positively charged "galactic proton
be lt." This field corresponds to Van
Allen's radiation belts at 2,000 and
11,000 miles from earth, discovered
in 1953, incidentally, the same year
in Which DNA was discovered. The
psi field "functions as both a shield
and as an electromagnetic membrane
recharging and recin:ulating the atmosphere of the ea rth , "
Arguelles makes his syste m releva nt to the modern wor ld through
hi s five-fold model of earth's evolutionary pallern, the "holonomic
equat ion ." First "nature presents
it se lf" in its pri stine condition;
"man learns from nature " up to the
establishment of civilization; then
"man transforms nature" by
developing the industrial complex.
We are at the end of this third stage
now, moving into the stage in which
"nature evaluates man's transformation," producing alterations in
the psi bank and adjust ments compensating for "man's disregard of'
t he inherent sacredness of universal
order ." Finally man and nature are
synthesized, the "planetization of
man that follows the hominization
of the planet." Man today suffers
from "holonomic amnesia"; he has
forgotten the interconnectedness,
Arguelles' "resonance," of the
natural and the supernatural worlds.
Arguelles' system is designed to help
man overcome his amnesia and
move him toward that final
synthesis.
Earth Ascending deserves more
than a cursory reading; it's the kind
of book that gives a new understanding each time one opens it, a great
addit ion to your new-age reading
list.

didn't listen to the Monkeys then, so
I wouldn't recognize them now.
They did do the Byrds doing Bob

The closest approximation of the
Rave-Ups' musical sophistication I
can think of is the Kinks on "You
Really Got Me." In fact, at
moments the Rave-Ups sound a
great deal like the Kinks. In fact, at

many nineteen year olds who can

us at any age can even playa good

inevitable is t hat each generation offer only the sincere flattery of imitation to the greats and not so greats

Everg ree n. They are fres hm en and
are finding collegiate academics, Ii fe,
and soccer to be a very demanding
juggling acl.
"I knew it would be a lot of hard
work anJ take a lot of my tim e,"
said Maria Gonzales (Arlington), the
Geoduck's leading scorer, "But , its
been even harder than I thought."
Coach Tamar Chotzen commented,
" Imagine, not on ly are these women
ad justing to and coping with the
rigors of Evergreen's academics and
living away from home for the first
time, they also are putting in up to
twenty or more hours a week work ing on and playing their sport. It's
very hard on them."
In spite of these demands, these
athletes are a dedicated bunch .
Working harder than ever, the
Women's team approaches midseason this week . Their overall
record stands at 2-5-1. So- far, the
scoring spotlight has been focused
on the freshmen. Maria Gonzales
has scored three goals while
classmates Tina Bennett (Renton)
and Mickey Clonginer (N. Thurston)
have scored two and one goal,
\"'1 /' Iod'Clt'!l'/
respectively. "Tina's greatest assest
is her speed," said Tamar, "if a
defender is off balance Tina can
blow right by her. Mickey has good
sreed and an accurate shot, whi le
Tina is aggressive and has a powerful kick. Tina also helps get the team
up: she's an emotiona l player. We've
missed her badly the ·Iast few
games ." (Tina has been side-lined
with a muscle injury and probab ly
won't see action for another week.)
" I do expect a lot from the
freshmen," sa id Tamar. "But, my
team is made up of twenty-two
players, all of whom are im portant
and integral to our overall success .
When we win everyone deserves

as a team to get up for each of these
games," said Tamar. "The
freshmen wi ll be expected to play
like veterans and the veterans will be
expected to play over their heads. I
guess I expect a lot." The players
agree that their coach demands a
great deal from them and most of
