PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH NARROWS TO 18
Fifteen men and three women are still in contention for the Evergreen
presidency following a half-day meeting by the Presidential Selection Advisory
Committee last Saturday. Chairman Rudy Martin reported the committee
succeeded in narrowing the list to 18 and is striving to pare the list down to
ten by the end of next week.
"We're reviewing those 18 files very carefully this week," he reported
Monday. "We plan to meet again on Sunday to see if we can make one more big
cut. If we're able to do so, "he said," we'll announce the top ten finalists
by February 3 -— and immediately open their files to community review and
begin setting up interviews on campus for at least the first half of that
ten . "
Martin said his committee hopes to begin interviewing by mid-February and
complete that process by the end of the quarter. "We're looking at having all
those interviews completed before evaluation week begins March 19," he added.
"Then we should be able to complete our recommendations on the top five
finalists before the end of March so the Board of Trustees can complete final
selection in April ."
FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT DUE FEB. 6
"Creative solutions" to the approximately $136,000 budget problem facing
the college for the remainder of this fiscal year are still being sought this
week as the Finance Committee continues its deliberations.
Chaired by Acting Vice President for Business Karen Wynkoop, the
Committee was appointed last month by Acting President Dick Schwartz to
explore solutions and "prepare a plan of action to balance the budget for
1983-84."
"We've been working for weeks to draft recommendations for review by the
President's Council," Wynkoop reported Tuesday. "We plan to meet again Monday
and conclude our proposal for the Council to examine at its next meeting," set
for Monday, February 6 at 3 p.m. in Library 3112.
Wynkoop explained that the $136,000 problem has been caused by two major
problems "as well as a number of smaller fiscal issues that keep surfacing."
The biggest problem is the governor's order to reduce staff FTE by 3% by the
end of the biennium. That reduction has to come from institutional support
and plant operations, and amounts to approximately $61,000 per year for the
next two years. Compounding that cut, Wynkoop pointed out, "is an excessively
high utilities bill that is far over what we budgeted."
If solutions proposed by Wynkoop 's committee are approved by the Council^
next week, they will be forwarded on to the president's nine member Cabinet
for final deliberation, expected on February 13 ( The President's Cabinet
now includes Academic Dean John Perkins in addition to Provost Patrick Hill,
Wynkoop, Director of Employee Relations Rita Cooper, Director of College
Relations/Development Sue Washburn, Dean of Student Services Larry Stenberg,
Assistant to the President Stan Marshburn, Library Dean Susan Smith, and the
president.) •

Work on fiscal problems won't stop after that action, Wynkoop noted. "We
haven't even begun to address some expected budget problems for next year,
including the decrease in revenue we're receiving from indirect costs and the
$120,000 to $130,000 costs we'll have to pay next year for unemployment
compensation," she said. "We'll also have equally high utilities bills, plus
the other half of the governor's FTE cut."
Deliberations of the Finance Committee will not focus on funding
enrollment growth this year or next. That task has been assigned to the
Enrollment Coordinating Committee, which has prepared recommendations for the
President's Cabinet to review after the Legislature adjourns.
"The solution to funding enrollment growth lies, at the moment, in the
hands of the Legislature," Wynkoop said. "If we're granted a supplemental
budget request, like that which has already cleared the House of
Representatives (see following story), that problem may not be a major one,"
she added. "If we don't receive additional funds, we'll have to go back to
our calculators after the session and take a very hard look at how to balance
our books for the remainder of the biennium in a way that does the least
damage to our future enrollment growth."
legislative report
HOUSE PASSES SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET ALLOCATING $770,000 FOR EVERGREEN
The House of Representatives last Friday passed a supplemental budget
totaling $56.3 million, up $15.3 million over the governor's request.
Approved on a nearly straight party-line vote, the supplemental budget
includes $770,000 to fund an enrollment of 2350 FTE at Evergreen this year and
2400 FTE for the 1984-85 academic year.
That budget bill (HB 1157), which has been referred to the Senate, is
expected to go to the Senate Ways and Means Committee this week. Senator Jim
McDermott (D-Seattle), who chairs that committee, says he will not recommend
action on the budget until after February 10, when the report on December
sales tax collections is due.
Other measures currently before the Legislature that impact Evergreen
include a move to freeze higher education tuition rates, a bill to reduce
costs to students seeking to take fewer than two or more than 18 credit hours,
and a measure that requires the governor to appoint students to college
governing boards.
/
$47 Million Impact
Senator Lowell Peterson (D-Concrete) has sponsored SB 4339, The Tuition
freeze bill that has passed the Senate Education and Ways and Means Committees
and has been forwarded to the Rules Committee to await scheduling for floor
action. That measure will hold in-state tuition levels at a constant rate
until the amount of money students pay is equal to 20% of the cost of their
education. Currently Evergreen in-state students pay about 25% of that cost.
The measure, which has strong support in the Senate, is not expected to move
quickly through the House, where concern has been raised about the potential
$47 million impact the bill could have on the general fund.
Students may also get a tuition break if SB 3488 passes. It permits
students to take more than 18 hours per quarter without paying additional
tuition and it also allows students to enroll for one credit and avoid paying
the current minimum of a two-credit-hour fee. S.B. 3044 would give dependents
and spouses of military personnel the opportunity to enroll at in-state
tuition rates and is popular with some legislators from Pierce County, home of
McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis.
- 3Also under consideration during this 48th Legislative session is SB 4781,
which increases and sets into law tougher graduation requirements for
college-bound high school students. Currently assigned to the Senate
Education Committee, the bill is among a series of measures related to
improving public education.
Trustees could gain a new voting member of their boards if HB 1422
passes. That measure requires the governor to appoint a student as a voting
member of the governing boards of each of the public higher ed institutions,
including the community colleges. It awaits action by the House Higher
Education Committee.
Collective Bargaining Bill(s) Back
Collective bargaining for college faculty is once again on the lawmakers'
agenda this session. Last year a collective bargaining measure that affected
all the two- and four-year colleges and universities was passed by the
legislature but vetoed by the governor. This year that bill has been
separated into two measures, one affecting the four-year schools, the other
applicable to the community colleges. The community college measure is
expected to draw the most interest, though both measures are endorsed by
Democrats, and by members of the American Federation of Teachers and the
Washington Education Association.
Also back up for consideration is what's been labeled the "geoducks1 land
bill." SB 4232 and HB 809 are companion measures which would earmark half of
the revenue generated from use of state-owned aquatic lands for Evergreen
capital improvements. All of the other five and four-year universities
already have a dedicated source of revenue for capital improvements
through sale of timber on state-owned property. Evergreen sought this bill
last session. This time it's been assigned to the Senate Natural Resource
Committee, which is chaired by Brad Owen (D-Shelton). A related measure HB
1231, restructures rates for use of aquatic lands and eliminates Evergreen's
portion of that revenue. Quick action is not expected on any of these three
measures.

Evergreen, contact Stan Marshburn, assistant to the president, (Library 3114)

GOVERNANCE NEWS BRIEFS
The Board of Trustees has approved a joint memorandum of agreement
establishing the Southwest Washington Joint Center for Education in Vancouver.
The agreement between Evergreen, Clark College and Washington State University
is designed to "facilitate coordination of higher education offerings" in that
region through the Center, created by the Legislature last session. Evergreen
will continue to offer its own courses and collect its own tuition in
Vancouver, as will Clark and WSU. The Joint Center will offer short courses,
lectures, seminars and workshops in engineering, technical and related fields
for which WSU will be financially responsible.
Trustees also formally approved articles of incorporation for the
Evergreen Alumni Association, and have tentatively moved their regular monthly
meeting dates from Thursdays to Wednesdays. Trustees are scheduled to meet on
February 8, March 14 and April 11. After that they will reconsider whether to
permanently move their meeting dates to Wednesdays.
The Evergreen Council reminds Evergreeners that they have only until
February 1 to seek approval for "all existing or newly requested" committees.
- 4All committees must be reviewed by the Council each year; "failure to seek
reconstitution will result in the committee's loss of standing on campus."
The Council meets next at 1 p.m. Wednesday, February 1 in Library 3112.
Questions about that meeting or the need to seek approval for committees may
be directed to members of the Executive Committee (Michael Beug, Allen
Whitehead or John Gallagher).
President Dick Schwartz has appointed a 28-member disappearing task force
to develop a five-year plan for the use of computers at Evergreen. Chaired by
Academic Dean Ron Woodbury and Institutional Research Director Steve Hunter,
the committee has begun meeting on Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. tb~~T2730 p.m. in
Library 2205. Their task, according to Schwartz, is "to think boldly.
Whatever we do with computers at Evergreen should be worthy of our innovative
traditions and aspirations," he charged. "We encourage you to think in terms
of putting Evergreen on the map as a cutting-edge institution, one in which
the humane and intelligent use of computers pervades the entire institution,
contributing to the reduction of workload and to the lifelong development of
faculty, staff and students." Schwartz has asked the committee to "meet with
each and every unit on campus to "develop a sense of the workload, levels of
communications, needs and patterns, current computer usage and opportunities
for development, training and improvement." A draft of their report is due by
the end of Spring Quarter, and the final document is due by November 1.
Library Dean Susan Smith has been asked to chair a DTP aimed at preparing
a revised Affirmative Action plan. Smith and her 18-member committee are
scheduled to begin meeting this week. They've been directed to consider
forming two subcommittees. The first will examine the Affirmative Action
employment policy, which Schwartz would like ready for public review at the
April Board of Trustees meeting. The second subcommittee will focus on
intercultural literacy and curriculum, and should have its work ready for
discussion at the spring faculty retreat so recommendations can come before
the Trustees in May.

ZUCKERMAN LAUNCHES LECTURE SERIES ON NUCLEAR CONFRONTATION
Economics professor Irwin Zuckerman believes the United States must
conduct a thorough self-appraisal before this nation can make progress toward
resolving hostilities between ourselves and the U.S.S.R. To that end, the
Evergreen faculty member will launch a five-part public lecture series
February 1 designed to examine "the road away from nuclear confrontation."
Scheduled Wednesday evenings from February 1 through February 29 at 7:30
p.m. in room 110 of the Communications Building, the series has arisen from
Zuckerman's 12 years of study on issues related to the Cold War. Zuckerman
left a job as a corporate executive at the age of 50 to go to graduate school
at Yale University, because "I was deeply puzzled by the direction this
country was taking in its relationship to the Soviet Union," he explains.
"I've been examining the issue ever since, trying to discover how we got into
this fix and why we keep digging ourselves deeper and deeper into the mire."
Zuckerman is teaching an advanced seminar this quarter, called The Roots
of Nuclear Confrontation, from which his free series has grown, and he's
writing a book on the topics he'll explore during the February series.
His opening program February 1 will focus on "the communist challenge and
the appeasement axiom," an hour-long talk followed by discussion and a
question/answer session. Each succeeding program will follow that format with
the following topics:
February 8 —- "Anti-Communism and the devlopment of U.S. foreign
policy;"
- 5 -
February 15 —
America;"
"The Russian presence in the Caribbean and Latin
February 22 —
"The American economy and foreign policy;" and
February 29 —
"The politics of peaceful coexistence."
The series is cosponsored by the Evergreen Political Information Center,
Thurston County Campus Ministries, and Innerplace, the student run campus
spiritual center. Further details are available through the Office of College
Relations, ext. 6128.
DEATH PENALTY TOPIC OF WEDNESDAY DEBATE
The death penalty has not been imposed in Washington state since 1963,
but it could be within the next two years pending results of appeals affecting
four current death row inmates. Because, as one person put it, "our state may
resume killing again soon," two men with vastly different viewpoints will
debate the merits of the death penalty in a free public forum Wednesday,
February 1, beginning at 12:10 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in
downtown Olympia.
Greg Canova, Washington senior assistant attorney general, will, argue for
the controversial penalty countered by Jerry Sheehan, legislative liaison for
the American Civil Liberties Union. The two men will expound on their views
Wednesday, with ten minute statements followed by a 20-minute question/answer
session that will adjourn by 12:50 p.m. Their presentation is part of the
continuing Piece of My Mind Series, cosponsored by Evergreen, Saint Martin's
College, Olympia Technical Community College, and the First United Methodist
Church.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES TOPIC OF MONDAY FORUM
"Our relationship to the land" will be explored in a free campus-wide
forum by four guest speakers on Monday, January 30, beginning at 10 a.m. in
CAB room 110. All persons interested in environmental issues are invited by
students and faculty from the Recognition: Politics of Self program to join
them for the session, which will be complemented by a film featuring a speech
delivered by Chief Seattle.
Speakers at the Monday session include: Billy Frank, Jr.. of the
Nisqually Tribe, faculty member Richard Cellarius, long-time member of the
Sierra Club; faculty member Bill Brown from the Earth Environments Program,
and adjunct research faculty member Jean McGregor.
Following their talk, guests will be invited to share a lunch hour
discussion from 1 to 2:30 p.m., also in CAB 110. "Please honor us with your
presence," says faculty member David Whitener.
ECCO PRESENTS COSTUME STYLE SHOW. TUESDAY
Clothes not only can "make the person," they can also "make the
production" if they're designed to meet the special needs of a theatrical
presentation. Costumes that have helped a variety of productions succeed at
Evergreen will be the focus of a free noon hour style show, talk and gallery
tour Tuesday, January 31 in room 110 of the CAB.
Ruth Palmerlee, staff costumer and faculty member in theater, will
discuss creations she has crafted during the past five years for nearly every
major production at Evergreen in a program sponsored Tuesday by the Evergreen
College Community Organization. Students will model costumes from more than a
dozen productions, and Palmerlee will present drawings of creations in
- 6-
progress and outline the process she and her students use to prepare for a
major theatrical production.
Following her talk, guests will be invited to view Palmerlee's exhibit,
called "Costume Design Construction," in Gallery Two of the Evans Library, and
to explore the Gallery Four display, "Helmi: Fantasy and Whimsy," an
exhibition of works by Northwest artist Helmi Juvonen.
Admission to the ECCO talk, style show and gallery tour is free and open
to the public. Guests are encouraged to bring their "brown bag" or purchase
lunch in the college cafeteria early, so the program can begin promptly at
noon.

- 8EVERGREENERS IN THE NEWS
Frankie Foster, a 1976 graduate who created the college's first
computer-generated catalog cover in 1974, stopped by his alma mater recently
to report he's working as director of graphics and animation for Lasermedia,
the largest laser entertainment company in the world.
Foster said his work has given him a chance to work with such Hollywood
figures as John Travolta and Sylvester Stallone in "Staying Alive," with
musicians Neil Diamond and Earth, Wind and Fire, to help with the 1981
presidential inauguration and the 1980 Olympics. He's currently "gearing up"
for the closing ceremonies at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. That show, he
predicted, "will be the largest outdoor entertainment program ever staged."
He's been contracted for that production by David Wolper of Warner Brothers
and "Roots" fame. Foster, a Bellevue native, also reported he's hired three
Evergreeners for Lasermedia: Dave Worman, Michael Swoford and Matt Housley.
Another Evergreen graduate, Mark Gottlieb, recently made the news in
Scotland. Gottlieb was cited for "being the first and only person to play the
violin underwater in a performance of Handel's Water Music." The article
appeared in an ad for the Bank of Scotland and noted that Gottlieb's concert
occurred in the swimming pool at Evergreen.
Employee changes are also in the news. Five new persons have joined the
college staff: John Harrington, custodian; JoyIan Netter, secretary II in
academics; Sana Glassburn, part-time payroll technician; Linda Roberson,
part-time telephone communications operator; and Helen Gilmore, accounting
assistant II in the Business Office.
Steve Trotter has moved from his job as accounting assistant III to
budget analyst I, replacing Victor Moore, who's now working for the Senate
Ways and Means Committee. Bob Haft has been promoted from a library
technician III to a library specialist II, and David Judd has returned as an
accounting supervisor.
Four employees have left the college: Phoebe Walker, a buyer I in the
Library; Don Tucker, maintenance mechanic II; Genny Wintershied, instructional
technician II in academics; and Larry Mix, custodial services. Later this
month, Debbie Regester, who has run the print shop efficiently and reliably
for the past eight years, will resign to devote full-time attention to her new
daughter, Jessica.
David Malcolm's set design for the Summer Repertory Theater production of
"Cabaret" has been featured in the annual calendar published by the Pacific
Northwest Theater Association...Veteran Library staffer Wyatt Gates can be
seen smiling from the pages of the January, 1984 issue of American Libraries,
which has used his picture from The Library Annuary, published last fall.
And, a new recording of "Line of Fire" featuring faculty member Marilyn Frasca
on drums and a! urn Steve Galiera is now available in limited numbers from
faculty member Lynn Patterson, Communications Building 308E. Frasca made the
recording last year in New York with Gretchen Langheld, a composer and
saxophonist. The tapes are $6 "while they last."

WINTER QUARTER ENROLLMENT COULD TOP FALL
If registration continues at the rate it's been going, Winter Quarter
enrollment could top fall figures for only the third time in Evergreen's
history.
According to Registrar Walker Allen, 2,512 students had completed
registration by Monday night, compared to 2,305 by last January 9. That
figure represents a 9% jump, with substantial increases shown in the number of
new students enrolling. "We've already enrolled 339 new students this quarter
compared to 277 last year," Allen said. "And, our enrollment of continuing
students was up to 2,173 Monday night, compared to 2,028 last winter."
Predictions for the final winter enrollment count, not due until January
27, are "always a bit risky," according to Institutional Research Director
Steve Hunter, "but," he ventured Tuesday, "it looks like we could easily have
a higher head count this quarter than the 2,717 we had in September." That
kind of jump from fall to winter has only happened in winter of 1978 and 1980.
An improved retention rate is contributing to the enrollment increase,
Hunter said. "We're showing a 10% increase in fall to fall retention for
students enrolling directly from high school and an overall retention increase
of 6.7% over last year," he said. Especially significant in that retention
increase, Hunter pointed out, is the hike in the numbers of Third World
students, where retention has climbed by 16.5% over the past year. Retention
of out-of-state students, who comprise 15% of the total enrollment, has also
climbed significantly -- by 11.5%.
Early indicators for fall, 1984 enrollment are equally pleasing,
according to Hunter. "We've already received 157 applications from new
students for next fall, compared to 125 received at the same time last year.
The number of students inquiring about fall enrollment has also jumped -- by
12% -- to over 4,000," he said. "If this interest in Evergreen enrollment
continues," Hunter predicted, "we could have the largest enrollment in college
history next fall." He cautioned that many factors could alter these early
projections, including receipt of adequate funding from the state legislature.
"But," he added, "if the money is there to support the growth, I'm confident
we'll be even closer to achieving our legislatively mandated enrollment
goals."
Adopted by the legislature in 1979, those goals originally called for an
annual average FTE of 2,500 prior to or during 1980-81, 3,050 for 1982-83, and
3,800 for 1984-85. But funding for that growth has not yet been provided.
MORE THAN 100 PRESIDENTIAL APPLICANTS
Approximately 100 persons are interested in being the next president of
The Evergreen State College, according to Betty Beeman, coordinator for the
presidential search. Beeman, who is scheduled to meet with the 17-member
Presidential Search Committee this morning, says the next month or two will be
devoted to screening files of those applicants and trying to cull the list
down to five finalists by the end of Winter Quarter.
"we're really pleased with both the quality and the quantity of
applicants," she reported Tuesday. "We have received applications from all
over the country and from a good cross section, including persons from
business and industry, government, higher education, even the clergy." Beeman
said included among the applicants are a number of women and representatives

EVERGREEN AWARDED $25,000 TO ESTABLISH UNSOELD SEMINAR
The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded Evergreen a $25,000
grant to endow a seminar fund in memory of late faculty member and Mt. Everest
climber Dr. W i l l i Unsoeld. The grant, which must be matched by $75,000 from
other, non-federal sources before July of 1986, w i l l be used to establish the
Unsoeld Seminar Fund, which will sponsor a series of annual activities devoted
to exploring issues of concern to the late philosopher/teacher and mountain
climber who died on Mt. Rainier nearly five years ago.
"We are one of 76 institutions in the country -- and the only one in
Washington state ~ selected to receive a total of $22 million to sustain or
develop high quality humanities programs and activities," explained Sue
Washburn, director of College Relations and Development.
"We've been working virtually since W i l l i ' s death in 1979 to create an
appropriate memorial to this man who touched the lives of nearly everyone on
campus -- and persons throughout the world in his triumphs as an educator, a
former Peace Corps official, a leader in environmental studies, and as a
mountaineer," said Washburn. "Our efforts have already gained the support of
the Bullitt Foundation in Seattle, which last spring awarded us a $25,000
challenge grant to establish the Unsoeld Fund. The Bullitt grant will provide
one-third of the matching money we need to receive the NEH award, which means
we still need to raise a total of $50,000 in private support."
FUND RAISING ALREADY UNDERWAY
Washburn said a committee has already begun working on raising those
funds. Chaired by Nicholas Clinch of Palo Alto, California, former president
of the American Alpine Club, that committee includes as members Jolene Unsoeld
of Olympia, Tom Hornbein of Seattle, who scaled Mt. Everest with Unsoeld in
1963, Pat Emerson, a Seattle expert in south Asian studies, U.S. Senator
- 4Dan Evans, and former Olympia attorney and veteran climber Andy Harvard.
Once that committee has completed its work, Washburn said, the $"100,000
Unsoeld Fund w i l l generate approximately $10,000 per year in interest, which
w i l l be used to support lectures, workshops, symposia, clinics, field
experiences, and "other means of sharing information in a dynamic way,"
Washburn noted.
The seminars will focus on issues Unsoeld devoted much of his life to
exploring, including wilderness and human values, experiential education,
affective learning, environmental awareness, philosophy and the outdoors,
nature and culture, and human behavior. Those issues will be discussed by
special guests who, Washburn said, "will offer a combination of outstanding
expertise in their field and a personal commitment toward improving the
quality of life and relationships for our human species."
The two challenge grants -- from NEH and the Bullitt Foundation -- "take
Evergreen half way to our $100,000 goal for establishing this fund," she
added. "We're confident we can raise the remainder and by so doing offer
special recognition to an outstanding leader, provide a unique humanities
program for the Pacific Northwest, and create an important addition to
Evergreen," Washburn concluded.
LEISURE ED REGISTRATION
CONTINUES
Registration for more than 90 Leisure Education workshops continues
through Friday, January 20 at 5 p.m. in the Campus Recreation Center. Special
evening registration also will be conducted from 5 to 8 p.m. January 16 to 19
for the workshops, which offer leisure time enrichment, not academic credit.
Scheduled to begin the week of January 16, most workshops continue for
eight weeks. They encompass a broad range of instruction, including 22
workshops in sports, 18 in art, 20 in movement, eight in music and seven in
aquatics, plus an additional 18 sessions that defy easy categorization.
Complete details on all the Winter Quarter Leisure Education workshops
are published in the Evergreen Times, available by calling the Recreation
Center office, ext. 6530, weekdays.
CHINA EXHIBIT FOCUS OF THREE EVERGREEN FOUNDATION PROGRAMS
The Pacific Science Center in Seattle has
scheduled what the New York Times calls "one of
the grandest exhibitions of traditional Chinese
science and technology ever to leave China" for an
exclusive West Coast showing March 1 through
August 31.
The unique exhibit, called "China — 7,000
Years of Discovery," will be the focus of three
eight-hour programs hosted by The Evergreen
Foundation this spring to enable southwest
Washington residents to view the more than 500
artifacts expected to fill three buildings of the
Science Center. Complementing those evening
showings will be a slide/lecture on the Evergreen
campus, a buffet dinner offering "7,000 Years of Chinese Cuisine," and
round-trip transportation from the college to Seattle.
"This exhibit attracted more than a million visitors to its four-month
showing in Toronto, and we're confident it will draw even larger crowds to
Seattle," says John Gallagher, Evergreen's associate director of development
and coordinator of the three China exhibit programs.
"We want to provide local residents a chance not only to examine the most
comprehensive collection of Chinese art and technology ever shown-in the
western United States, but to have a chance to prepare for the exhibit through
an on-campus slide/lecture program, and to avoid the hassles of attending what
the governor has predicted will be one of the state's biggest tourist
attractions of 1984," Gallagher notes.
Evening programs will be hosted on March 27, April 25 and May 23, with
each preceded by a lecture on campus one week before the program.
Reservations for each of the presentations will be limited to 250 persons on a
first-come basis for $60 per person. Part of that fee includes a tax
deductible contribution to the Foundation's scholarship fund.
The evening of each program, Gallagher explains, will begin with a
catered banquet on campus featuring a number of unusual Chinese dishes,
chosen, he says, "because they represent a particular period of Chinese
history or because they represent a style of cooking which has its roots deep
in the Chinese past."
Following the banquets, which will also feature entertainment, guests
will be transported to Seattle for a tour conducted by Pacific Science Center
staff. Highlight of that tour, Gallagher predicts, will be demonstrations by
18 Chinese artisans of old and new technologies from their homeland. After
the showing, guests will be transported back to campus, where parking will be
provided for free.
Complete details on the Foundation's three China programs are available
from Gallagher in Evergreen's Development Office, ext. 6565 weekdays.

NEW DISSERTATION EXAMINES EVERGREEN'S ORIGINS
William Henry Stevens III, a 1974 Evergreen graduate, has published an
extensive history of Evergreen and donated two copies of it to his alma mater.
His dissertation, The Philosophical and Political Origins of The Evergreen
State College, was completed last July in partial fulfillment of requirements
for a doctor of philosophy degree at the University of Washington. The
356-page volume offers what he calls a study of "the origin of an innovative
public undergraduate institution of higher education within the political
environment of the State of Washington during the late 1960s and 1970s."
Divided into three sections, the dissertation focuses first on the
"derivation of the educational and organizational notions which came to
characterize Evergreen." His second major section traces "the century-long
quest" by residents of southwest Washington for an institution of higher
education in their region. He recounts the rise of Washington's institutions
of higher education and the competitive environment in which they struggled.
He concludes the impressive document with the history of "the emergence of
Evergreen from its legislative creation to its achievement of operational
vitality." He documents "where, when and how, within the politically
structured process of its creation, the introduction of a unique blend of
educational and organizational characteristics occurred. It also shows why
this development may be especially important for the future of the state and
the nation."
Fascinating reading for anyone interested in higher education, Stevens'
work is especially intriguing for persons directly connected to Evergreen.
Particularly his third section offers an insight into Evergreen's origins that
those who arrived on campus after 1971 will find illuminating.
QUOTES FROM THE PAST
From the first organizational meeting of the Board of Trustees in
Governor Dan Evans' office on August 30, 1967 through the early 1970s, Stevens
uses meeting minutes, Daily Olympian clippings, and dozens of campus memos to
paint a picture of a college being born. The words of Founding President
Charles McCann, Founding Provost Dave Barry, Founding Executive Director
(later Vice President for Business Affairs) Dean Clabaugh, Founding Executive
Vice President Joe Shoben, Trustee Trueman Schmidt, Academic Dean Merv
Cadwallader and others to bring to life the creation of the state's only new
four-year college this century. He even includes the college's organization
chart as of September 1, 1969 (Of the 11 persons listed, only McCann and
former Controller (now Facilities Director) Ken Winkley still serve on
Evergreen's staff.).
Stevens concludes his dissertation with a ringing endorsement of his alma
mater: "In my view," he writes, "The Evergreen State College represents an
undergraduate educational notion whose time has come and which contains within
it keys to the enhancement of all our public and private educational schemes."
In an interview Monday, Stevens said he chose Evergreen to write about
because he'd been involved in efforts to implement some "innovative changes"
in the Seattle schools in the 1960s and those "just didn't materialize." That
experience made him realize that "it's almost impossible to change an existing
education institution." But, he said, "Evergreen has succeeded in creating
the kind of innovative approach we talked about -- and that seemed a
remarkable thing to write about."
- 9-
AN ANSWER TO COLLEGIATE COMPLAINTS
Stevens returned to higher education after a 20-year stint in the
construction industry and chose Evergreen because "it seemed to have an answer
to the complaints I had had when I dropped out of colleae in 1950. I wanted
independent study and a holistic approach to a liberal arts education," he
explained. "Evergreen gave me that kind of education." Evergreen also proved
to be the right, college for his daughter Karen, who graduated in 1975 and is
just completing her master's degree in early childhood education at the
University of Washington. Stevens' son, William Henry IV, also attended
Evergreen and plans to return to complete his degree.
With his own education complete, and his new doctorate in hand, Stevens
is preparing to write a book on the origins of higher education, focusing on
key leaders who shaped America's educational system. "That story has not been
fully told," he said, "and I want to be the one who tells it."
Copies of his dissertation, which tells the Evergreen portion of that
story, are available on request from the Library reference desk and through
archives.
COUNSELING SERVICES SPONSORS EIGHT WORKSHOPS
Eight workshops will be offered to Evergreen students this quarter at no
cost through Counseling Services. Included among the workshops are sessions
designed for survivors of sexual assault, for those seeking assertiveness
training, for persons interested in "exploring their dreams in a therapeutic
manner" and for those who seek counseling within a therapy group. Sessions
will also be offered to help individuals eliminate self-defeating behavior and
for those seeking to better handle stress. In addition separate men's and
women's groups will be held to help explore gender related issues.
Details on the workshops are available in the Counseling Center Office,
Seminar 2109, or by calling ext. 6800.
EVERGREEN REC CENTER: A MEANS TO FULFILLING YOU NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION
If getting — and staying — fit was one of your new year's resolutions,
Jan Lambertz is convinced she's got some suggestions that will ease the trauma
of trying to live up to that resolve.
Lambertz, director of recreation and athletics at Evergreen, has just
overseen extensive renovation of the 56,701-square-foot Campus Recreation
Center, which houses an assortment of facilities and equipment designed to
meet your fitness needs.
"We've just remodeled all of our racquet and handball courts, installed
new Universal and weight-training equipment, and made several improvements to
our swimming pool," she reported.
The racquetball courts were completely renovated, she said. "We
installed new fiberglass sheets over all the plaster walls and refinished the
floors in all five courts," she added. "This fiberglass wall covering is the
latest technology in surfacing and will ensure that the courts 'play truer' -that balls will bounce more accurately off the walls."
The new surfaces, which are guaranteed to last "almost forever," are part
of the remodeling project of the CRC that included redesign of weight-training
rooms and installation of new Universal and free weights. "This equipment
enables users to gain maximum resistance through the full range of their
exercise," she explained. "It accomplishes the same degree of exercise
difficulty as many cam-driven weight-training machines found in the commercial
fitness centers."
- 10 Lambertz said a number of improvements have also been made to the
swimming pool in preparation for a regional NAIA swim meet scheduled at
Evergreen in February. "We've added additional seating in the pool area,
installed a new, electronic timing system, and repositioned the lane markers
to make it a faster pool for competition." Her staff is also just completing
resurfacing of the one- and three-meter diving boards over the diving well.
Lambertz pointed out that the Rec Center offers a number of other
opportunities, including more than 90 Leisure Education workshops. In
addition, she and her staff are gearing up to sponsor an indoor soccer league
for men and women this winter in the Recreation Pavilion, and to organize a
coed volleyball league, which will be held at the Jefferson Middle School
gymnasium.
"Once we've completed work on the Rec Pavilion, we'll have the only
indoor soccer facility in the area," she noted. New rebound walls are being
added to the structure now, and next year artificial turf will be installed on
its 18,382-square-foot floor.
