...FALL REGISTRATION OPENS TUESDAY...Registration for Fall Quarter classes at Evergreen opens
Tuesday, September 25, when faculty and staff members stage two Academic Fairs to offer prospective students a chance to meet their teachers, discuss their programs and complete admissions
and registration procedures. Full-time students are invited to an afternoon Academic Fair
from 1 to 4 o'clock on the second floor of the Evans Library; part-time students are encouraged
to attend an evening session from 5:30 to 7 o'clock, also on the second floor of the library.
Registration for Fall Quarter classes continues weekdays through Friday, October 5, with
special evening hours from 5 to 7 o'clock offered September 26 and 27, and October 1 to 4.
All fees and tuition must be paid by 4 p.m. Friday, October 5.
...MORE COURSES. EXPANDED SERVICES GREET NEW STUDENTS...When students return to Evergreen for
orientation activities this week, they'll find an expanded list of part-time studies courses,
a number of new services offered during evening hours, and several remodeled or spruced up
facilities.
Nearly 90 courses are open to part-time students this fall, the largest number in Evergreen's history. More than 40 of them are taught after 5 p.m. and others are also scheduled
as early as 7:30 a.m. and as late as 8 p.m. for the convenience of working persons.
Also designed to make evening studies more attractive is the expansion of a number of
Evergreen services, including creation of a new office for evening students opening this
11 on the second floor mall of the College Activities Building. Open from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday
Borough Thursday, the new office will be staffed by student and professional employees who'll
provide information on classes, publications, policies, and procedures, and will make available
other data pertinent to students' social and academic lives at Evergreen.
Expanded security services will also swing into operation as campus security officers don
new uniforms and add more staff during late afternoon and evening hours. In addition, bus
service, arranged with Intercity Transit, will give students more frequent access to the college.
...HELP FROM COMMUNITY LANDLORDS SOUGHT...More than 80 "unhoused" students are expected to arrive
at Evergreen this week and college officials are sending out a call for help from community landlords. For the first time in Evergreen's history, all on-campus living accommodations are filled
to capacity and waiting lists have appeared. Housing director Ken Jacob has invited local residents who have apartments, duplexes, houses, or trailers they will rent to students, faculty or
staff to call his office immediately
866-6132
so his staff can quickly refer students to
them.
The crunch, caused by both inflation in rental rates and enrollment growth, is expected to
continue throughout the year, and Jacob urges all community landlords to keep in touch with his
office in coming months, so he can continue referring student renters to them.
...LEISURE WORKSHOP ORIENTATION, REGISTRATION SLATED...Instructors of more than 70 Leisure Education workshops will be on hand to meet potential participants at a special orientation program
September 25 from 6 to 10 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Evans Library. The workshops, offered
for enjoyment, not academic credit, this year feature many new offerings for adults and
children, alike.
Registration for the workshops must be conducted in person in Evergreen's Recreation Center
ekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. or during two special evening registration sessions on
^eptember 26 or October 4, both from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Recreation Center. Registration for the
sessions, which begin the week of October 8, must be completed by October 12. Call 866-6530

LARGEST REGISTRATION IN HISTORY GENERATES LONG LINES, FILLED PROGRAMS
Registration for Fall Quarter classes opened with a bang Tuesday afternoon, when more than
800 students signed up for full- and part-time studies. Registrar Walker Allen said lines began
forming a half hour before the doors opened "and by 1 p.m. students were lined up through the
first floor library lobby, all the way through the Admissions Office, and outside," he says.
Tuesday was "the largest registration day in Evergreen's history," Allen notes. The closest
day to it occurred during Fall Quarter, 1976 when some 650 students completed their registration.
This year more than 600 registered during the afternoon Academic Fair, and another 25,0 persons
registered for part-time studies in the evening session.
Several academic programs were filled to capacity by the end of the day Tuesday and faculty
members and the Registrar's Office were establishing waiting lists. Because the college has
sought to reduce the numbers of programs that require a faculty signature, the Registrar's Office
this year for the first time had to establish some of the waiting lists. "Faculty who require
signatures still keep their own waiting lists," explains Allen, "but we've established the
lists for other programs that don't require signatures."
350 MORE ADMITTED
Allen says two major factors caused the big lineup on Tuesday: the increased number of new
students eligible to register and the larger number of returning students who did not register
last spring and waited until Tuesday to do so.
„
"We have nearly 350 more students admitted this fall than we had at the same time last ye ir,
he says. "That's more than a 24 percent increase. In addition, last spring fewer returning students completed their registration." Many students met with faculty members early this week
and were all advised to register as soon as possible. That led to what Allen cheerfully labels
"a boomer of a day" for fall registration.
Complicating the day's process, says Allen, was a problem with the computer system that
arose "right after we opened and delayed the lines for up to 45 minutes." To keep lines moving,
staff processed "only the barest, essential information into the computers while student waited," he said. "Then staff stayed until 1 a.m. Wednesday inputting the rest of the informatl
so the academic deans would have complete, up-to-date information by Wednesday morning to better
plan for accommodating students who couldn't get into their first choice programs.
To make sure students do get what, they want, Allen says his staff and thejicademic deans
"are encouraging students to sign up for an alternate choice. Then, if we can accommodate them,
we'll move them into their original choice; if not, they'll still have a program they re pleased
with."
CHANGES IN PROCESS COMING
The busy enrollment pace will probably continue right up to October 5, says Allen. "If
Tuesday is any indication, we're going to be very busy all of next week
right up until fees
tuition are due next Friday."
To avoid such long lines in future registration sessions, Allen hopes two changes will be
made: more returning students will pre-register in the spring and next year's academic fair
will be limited to new students.
-2"What we hope to do," he says, "is allow only new students to register during the Academic
Fairs. Returning students
who don't take advantage of spring pre-registration
will
have to wait until the day after the fair to register," he predicts.
TUESDAYS AT EIGHT FALL SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
Jazz, classical and contemporary music composed by Pacific Northwest artists will be featured
in the Fall Quarter Tuesdays at Eight series sponsored by Evergreen. Renown jazz artist Red
Kelly launches the series Tuesday, October 9 when he brings popular vocalist Jan Stentz to
campus along with two premier jazz musicians, pianist Jack Perciful and clarinetist Rollie
Morehouse. Their concert, set for 8 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Evans Library Building,
carries a $3 general admission charge or $2 for seniors and students.
The Olympia Symphony opens its 1979-80 series at Evergreen October 30 with an evening concert featuring a special guest performance by Olympia violinist Stephen Daniels, who recently
returned from music studies in Vienna. Daniels, who will perform a violin concerto by Felix
Mendelssohn, will be accompanied by Olympia pianist Jane Edge in the October 30 concert, set to
begin at 8 p.m. in the Experimental Theater of Evergreen's Communications Building.
Topping off the Fall Quarter Tuesdays at Eight concert series on November 27 will be a performance of contemporary pieces by the 13-member Composers and Improvisors Orchestra of Seattle.
The Orchestra, founded two years ago to provide a forum for Seattle-area creative musicians, is
the only local permanent music ensemble whose repertoire consists primarily of new works by
Pacific Northwest creative musicians.
All Tuesdays at Eight concerts at Evergreen are cosponsored by the college and POSSCA
(Patrons of South Sound Cultural Arts). Reserved tickets are available through the Office of
College Relations, 866-6128.
BOARD APPROVES RAISES, TABLES ALUMNI PROPOSAL
Trustees approved salary raises for faculty members and exempt employees; heard reports on
progress toward the graduate program, Organic Farmhouse completion, and a class action suit (
filed against the college in 1976; and postponed action on a proposal to reduce tuition and
fees for alums at their monthly meeting on campus last Thursday.
The salary increases, effective October 1, raised the faculty scale by 4.22 percent and
allocated an additional 1.4 percent to bring all faculty to their proper position on that scale.
The October raise was in addition to an average faculty and staff increase of 5 percent granted
the first of September. Funds for exempt employees' increases totaled 5.6 percent, with 1.7
percent used to raise the salary grid and an additional 3.9 percent allocated on the basis of
merit by the president and the two vice presidents.
Provost Byron Youtz told trustees the proposal for the college's first graduate school program in public administration will be "in your hands" at the October meeting. A public advisory
board met with Youtz and faculty members to review the proposal Tuesday. Evergreen representa*tives will take it one step further October 3 and 4 when they present their draft to the Council
for Postsecondary Education. If CPE gives a favorable review at that session, Youtz says the
proposal will come before the CPE board for action on December 5 and 6. Formal approval at
that time would permit the college to accommodate up to 25 full-time equivalent graduate students
next fall.
The Organic Farmhouse will probably not be "completely finished" until November. Bid
awards for floor covering, fixtures, wood stove, chimney and roof penetration were awarded by
trustees to Robert Dowell Company of Olympia. The board also formally approved bid awards for
installation of dry wall and of seven doors at the new structure.
HEW SETTLEMENT OUTLINED
Affirmative Action Officer Mary Isabel brought trustees up to date on the two and a half
year old class action suit filed against the college with the federal Office of Civil Rights (
(OCR). The college has agreed to an out-of-court settlement which 'constitutes a satisfactory
adjustment" and brings the college "into compliance with the requirements of Title VI."
-3Explicit in the agreement is the understanding that Evergreen "does not admit to violation
of the Civil Rights Act," but permits OCR to review college compliance through written reports
until December 31, 1982. Evergreen agreed to improve and expand its Affirmative Action Data
{ rm for job applicants for all faculty positions.and to develop "an appointment activity record
form" to be used by faculty hiring units. These forms will be forwarded to OCR in 1981 and 1982.
The college also agreed to advertise "on a nationwide basis for a period of 60 days" all regular
full-time faculty vacancies. Visiting faculty vacancies will be advertised on a statewide basis
for 30 days. Adjunct faculty appointments are not covered by the agreement.
The HEW agreement also clearly spells out authority of the Affirmative Action Officer in the
hiring process for all faculty vacancies and grants that official "authority to revise or halt
the hiring process" if any of the procedures aren't adhered to. In addition, the agreement calls
on Evergreen to "continue and expand its plan to increase recruitment efforts of minority students and evaluate the college's admissions criteria "regarding its effects on minority applicants." Evergreen will review "all academic programs in which faculty signatures are required
for entrance to assure that discriminatory procedures have not been used against minorities and
women." Reports on financial aid applicants and recipients by race will be provided to OCR,
and Evergreen agreed to "develop and implement a system for collecting data on the race of all
applicants for student employment."
"NOT GOOD GIMMICK"
In other action, trustees considered for a second time a proposal to reduce tuition and fee
rates for alums who want to return for part-time undergraduate studies which would not be
applicable to a second degree or certificate. Development Director Susan Washburn felt the reduced rates would offer "a way to show we care" about our graduates, while trustee Jane Sylvester
noted, "I just don't feel this is a good gimmick." The proposal will probably come before the
Alumni Association for further discussion at a business meeting set to begin on campus at 8:30
tomorrow morning.
Trustees set their next meeting for October 11 at 11 a.m. on the Vancouver campus. During
v_.at visit trustees and administrators will tour the newly expanded Evergreen-Vancouver facility,
meet with civic officials and representatives of the Veterans Administration, from whom the
College has leased its historic headquarters along Officers Row in Old Fort Vancouver.
Video-taped history
SENIOR DICK JONES RECORDS TRUCK FARMERS' STORY
The fate of Japanese-American truck farmers who tilled the fertile soils of southern King
County before and after World War II will not be forgotten, thanks to work by a Seattle histor*
ian, an Evergreen senior, and a dedicated team of Pike Place Market preservers who Just finished an in-depth oral history of both the market and its farmers.
Dick Jones, a graduating senior from St. Charles, Illinois^says he and Seattle historian
Walter Hatch have completed their work on a video tape project which records conversations
with Japanese-American truck farmers who settled in the South Park area of King County before war
broke out in 1941.
Relocated to camps far beyond their farmlands, the Japanese-Americans endured the war, then
came home to find industrialization rapidly absorbing the fields from which they'd harvested
their produce for sale at Seattle's Pike Place Market.
Jones became intrigued with the oral history project and wanted it video taped to better
bring the people and their story to life. He proposed a grant to and was awarded funds by the
Washington Commission for the Humanities to purchase raw video tape stock, photographic film
and processing, and staff transportation. Then he and Hatch devoted most of their summer to
gathering the story
talking to truck farmers who still live in the King County area.
"STARS" VIEW THEMSELVES
They premiered their work last month at the Good Pride Celebration at the market
an
event which attracted more than 350 persons, including many of the farmers who "starred" in the
video production.
-4Since then Jones and Hatch have concentrated on showing their work to public agencies including Seattle Public Library, University of Washington Undergraduate Media Center, Seattle
Central Community College and the Washington State Library. The two hope these agencies will x
soon purchase the tapes and make them
and the stories they tell
available to the publiv
Also available for public viewing is a newly completed photo exhibit done as part of the
Pike Place oral history project. Much of the photo documentation was contributed by Evergreen
student Christina Koons, working with the advice of faculty member Sally Cloninger.
Persons interested in viewing either the video tapes or the photo exhibit are invited to
contact Joan Sharp at the Pike place Market Preservation and Development Authority (625-4753)
or Walter Hatch, oral history teacher at Seattle Central Community College (587-4164).
THREE WIN FIDELITY SCHOLARSHIPS
Three Evergreen students are among 79 persons awarded scholarships through Fidelity Mutual
Savings Bank for the 1979-80 academic year. The annual scholarships are awarded "not just for
financial need alone, but for good citizenship and a reasonably good grade point average," and
say bank officials, the awards are also made available to "those young men and women from middleincome families who need some financial assistance as well as those single parents and other
older persons who are going back to school..."
Evergreen winners of $1,000 scholarships are Jennifer Rich of Seattle and Margaret McDaniel
of Enumclaw. Tanna Stotts of Vancouver, Washington received a $500 award.
UNSOELD MEMORIAL COMMITTEE MEETS MONDAY
A committee appointed by President Dan Evans and requested by the Board of Trustees meets
Monday, October 1, to begin exploring appropriate ways for the Evergreen community to pay tribute
to Faculty Member Willi Unsoeld and student Janie Diepenbrock, who died March 4 in an avalanche
on Mount Rainier.
The committee, which meets at 2 p.m. in Library 3114, seeks to develop recommendations on (
how best to allocate monies donated to the Unsoeld/Diepenbrock Memorial Fund for an appropriate
tribute.
Persons invited by Evans to serve on the committee include: students Bob Dash and Peter
Miller, both of whom were with Unsoeld and Diepenbrock on the Mount Rainier trip; Athletic
Director Pete Steilberg, and community friends Marilyn Erickson, Pat Emerson, Dick Talcott and
Dr. Tom Hornbein
Their meeting Monday is open to the campus community.
SWIMMERS BEGIN TURNOUT
Swim coach Don Martin says his swimmers will begin turning out on Wednesday, October 3,
at 4:45 p.m. in room 202 of the College Recreation Center. Persons interested in competing
with the new Geoduck swim team should bring swim suits to the Wednesday afternoon session.
RAUH'S BOOK WINS NATIONAL AWARD
Evergreen graduate Dave Rauh, an active member of the KAOS radio staff, has won a national
award for his book, "The Homestead Reunion" done last spring while he was completing an internship with Faculty Member Sid White and Graphic Designer Rick Hess. Rauh served as designer and
photographer for the book, which chronicled a reunion of his family in Virginia. The 36-page
book, completed with Hess's artistic direction, won first place in the book category of a
contest sponsored by the National University College Designers Association.

a special evening program that features display of a new art exhibit and concludes with the
season's first Tuesdays at Eight concert.
The free reception, which begins at 7 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Evans Library, is
especially designed for ECCO members to get reacquainted with the college and prepare to continue
working toward the organization's goal: to promote understanding and cooperation between the
local residents and the college.

citizens. Admission to both the gallery and the ECCO reception is Bree.
Details on both ECCO and the Tuesdays at Eight series are available through the Office

CHANGES COME TO FOOD SERVICES
Food Services are changing in the College Activities Building. Already in process are
projects revamping the "Deli" on the second floor, remodeling several areas in the dining halls
on the first floor, and reexamining the "facilities, menus and services of the entire operation,"
according to Ken Jacob, director of Housing and Food Services.
During the summer, architect Jon Collier worked with a three-student design team to offer
recommendations for improving Food Services facilities, including the rennovation of the Deli,
which Jacob reports "is almost done." More than $20,000 were allocated for remodeling and
equiplag^the Deli, which Jacob says will be going full steam by Monday. As of October 1 the
Deli will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday,
and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The Snack Bar, downstairs in the dining room,
will no longer be open during evening hours, since Jacob believes the Deli will more successfully
meet the needs of students during evening hours.
"If the Deli's first day of operation is any indication," he says, "the new venture is
already a success. On Tuesday with many students not yet back, we grossed more than $600;
li
year our highest day
when all students and staff were on campus
was $750", he says.
"We're optimistic the Deli will get lots of use." He says special credit for the new operation
must be shared with Vonda Drogmund of Saga Food Services and College Business Manager Ken Winkley,
"who did a lot to push this idea through to completion."
-6Other changes already completed include the repainting of several areas and the ordering
of plants for the dining room and faculty/staff eating areas. In addition "a few" sets of
new chairs have been purchased and room dividers are being added to provide diners "with morld?
personal spaces," says Jacob.
Script meal plans are being sold again this year, so all Evergreeners can purchase a book
of script for $135 that purchases up to $150 worth of food. The book, which is transferable
may be purchased from Food Services.
Also underway is a student-faculty internship effort to conduct an extensive needs assessment of food services. Kristi Morrish, a food service design consultant, has been hired to
work with up to six student interns designing and conducting that survey, studying the entire
food service operation, and creating "a theoretical nutrition education program" for food
service personnel and consumers. The new consultant team will also recommend changes in food
service, determine cost effectiveness of the existing program, and design "a theoretical marketing plan for food service."
While the consultants begin their work, Jacob says other efforts will continue: purchase
of all new tables and wood chairs, installation of carpets, installation of big windows on
the southeast wall, and eventually, lowering of ceilings and installation of new lighting in
the dining room area. He says a "very long range plan" also calls for extending a patio roof
from the southeast portion of food services.
SPEED LIMITS RISE MONDAY
Speed limits on four sections of campus roads will be increased from five to 10 miles per
hour effective October 1, according to Facilities Director Dave Wallbom. The increases were
promoted by Wallbom's concern that the current limits were inappropriate and ought to be increased to a more realistic level. "We tried to evaluate what was causing the problem," says
Wallbom, a former policeman. "We believe that the (speeding) rules were being broken because
in some cases, the rules were wrong. So, we tried to change the rules, rather than to expect(
persons to, obey laws that weren't appropriate."
So, come Monday morning, the limit on the Driftwood Road, from Lewis Road to Overhulse Place
will be 35 mph, up from 25; the limit on . Driftwood Road from Overhulse Place to the Parkway
will be 40 mph, up from 35; the limit on Overhulse Place, from Driftwood Road to the Parkway is
40 mph, up from 35; and the rate along the Parkway, from 17th Avenue to Kaiser Road is 45mph,
up from 35.
R>w, hopes Wallbom, folks will be more likely to drive within the law. And, he and his
staff will be making sure those newly adjusted limits are adhered to.
CPJ EDITOR. BUSINESS MANAGER SOUGHT
Applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the Cooper Point Journal are
due in either the President's Office (Library 3109) or Student Activities Office (CAB 305)
by 5 p.m. October 4. Those applications will be reviewed by the Publications Board at its
first meeting of the new academic year on Friday, October 5, beginning at 8 a.m. in Library 3234.
The Publications Board, which is responsible for overseeing publication of the now biweekly
student newspaper, welcomes to its membership next month student Karen Johnson and Faculty Member
Lovern King, in addition to continuing board members student Fonda Ray, Faculty Member Margaret
Gribskov, professional newsman Dave Ammons and CPJ staffer Alexis Jetter.
The_Friday mining meeting is open to all interested persons. "

"a Renaissance year ahead"
EVANS OUTLINES GOALS FOR THE NEW DECADE
President Dan Evans told faculty members last week this year could well be a time "of
real Renaissance for Evergreen," a period when "we embark on a new decade of growth in quality
and quantity" and achieve "a ratification of goals and hopes of those who started this college
almost a decade ago."
-2ln the first meeting of the faculty this year, the president said his primary goal for
the college was to "ensure that we keep Evergreen innovative...preserve it as an alternative"
to higher education, preventing it from accumulating "the barnacles like ordinary schools do.
"I hope," he said, "we'll opt to be a college in the finest traditions of the liberal arts~"
Evans asked that the faculty "remain committed" to "coordinated, interdisciplinary and coli o
ative study that is broadly based" while we prepare to respond to the changing educational
needs of the 1980s.
Reflecting on the state of the college just last fall, the president pointed out we then
"faced the new quarter with a declining enrollment, an uncertain budget, a legislative sessio
ahead and a steady, critical flow of news reports." In contrast, Evans noted, this fall we
have "a reasonable if not a lavish budget," a "legislature blessedly in recess" and public
recognition which has been almost all positive. In addition, the number of applicants is up
more than 26 percent over last fall, and the number of students admitted is up 31 percent -—
the largest numbers at any time during the past four years.
CAUSE FOR ENTHUSIASM
"We have," he told faculty, "more cause for enthusiasm than we've had in many years."
Adding to that the causes for optimism, he said, were a number of accomplishments including th
launching of the new teacher certification program, and development of the graduate proposal
in public administration (which he hopes will go before the Council of Post Secondary Education for initial review next month).
On Evans' agenda this year are three major tasks: an administrative reorganization which
he hopes will "better respond to our constituencies"; a "revitalization of the Evergreen
Council" as a center for campus communications; and the production of the new 1979-80 college
catalog by mid-November.
The reorganization, which he plans to present to trustees next month, will seek to enable
the college to do "a better job of integrating" the needs of students, community members,
faculty and staff. The council, says Evans, will receive from him each month a problem or
proposal for consideration. And, the catalog production will require "a significant extrs^
effort" by faculty to finalize their curriculum plans and get their copy to press (see following story).
The president also reminded faculty of the Accreditation visit scheduled October 24-26,
noting the college's extensive (more than 300-page) self study report in preparation for that
visit will be off the presses this week.
FACULTY CONVENERS CHOSEN;
CURRICULUM REVIEW SET WEDNESDAY
Ten faculty members have been appointed to the two-year terms of "conveners" and extensive work now underway on the 1980-81 curriculum will be ready for faculty review Wednesday.
The convenors, nominated by their peers and appointed by the academic deans and the provost
were selected last Monday. Assuming their new responsibilities are Leo Daugherty, Annual
Programs; Betty Estes, Basic Programs; Kaye V. Ladd, Environmental Studies; David Marr, Europ
pean and American Studies; Diana Gushing, Health and Human Development: Sally Cloninger,
Expressive Arts; Pete Sinclair, Marine Sciences and Crafts; Chuck Nisbet, Management and the
Public Interest; Tom Rainey, Political Economy; Burt Guttman, Scientific Knowledge and Inquiry
and Lovern King, Northwest Native American Studies.
The conveners and their colleagues met throughout the past week, examining program propos
als and fine tuning curricular plans as outlined by President Dan Evans, Provost Byron Youtz
and the academic deans. The new curriculum is being planned for 2,350 annual average fulltime equivalent students. It will be finalized by the first of October to enable copy to be
published in the new annual catalog by mid November.
When faculty returned last Monday, Assistant Academic Dean Jeanne Hahn presented an outline of the curriculum arrived at through the faculty retreat last June and through modification and clarification discussions conducted over the summer.
(
The new schedule for curriculum development, calling for a deadline two months earlier
than ever attempted, precludes for this year the degree of student involvement encouraged in
the past. "Clearly," says Hahn, "our timetable does not permit the trial balloon process of
—3—
past years." But, she pointed out, this is a "one year only" deadline procedure. In future
years, she predicts, students will be better able than before to participate in curriculum
planning, which will be conducted in mid-April, so catalogs can be produced over the summer
and be in the hands of admissions teams by October 1.
For this year, faculty are zeroing in on a major session this Wednesday (from 3 to 5 p.m.
in room 110 of the College Activities Building) to review the 1980-81 curriculum so proposals
can quickly be written and sent to the college editor.
upcoming events
SEAWULFF CAULKING BEGINS MONDAY
The Seawulff, a 38-foot "working sail boat" under construction at Evergreen for the past
three years, takes a major step toward completion today and tomorrow when seasoned boat caulker
Frank Fredette of Victoria, B.C., comes to campus to seal her seams. Fredette, described as
"one of the few old-time boat caulkers still active in the Pacific Northwest," will demonstrate
his craftsmanship before students, wood boat builders, and the general public between 8 a.m.
and 5 p.m. both days as he helps Evergreeners with the all wood craft docked behind Laboratory
Building One.
"The public is cordially invited to view Fredette at work," says faculty member Dr. R.W.
Filmer, supervisor of the boat building project. "We're more than 75 percent finished with
the Seawulff and Fredette's work will take us another big step toward launching
an event
we're planning for late spring."
Working with Fredette will be his assistant, Ted Knowles, also of Victoria, and volunteers,
students, and community helpers who have closely followed and contributed to the progress of
the craft, which began as a campus dream in 1974. The dream burst into flame in May, 1975,
before the hull was finished, when fire struck the Long Boatworks on Olympia's westside and
destroyed both the '38 and Long's shop. Two years later students and faculty, supported by a
community fund raising drive, began again to recreate their dream.
WILL LAUNCH IN SPRING
This year, Filmer predicts, he and his students will realize that long sought goal. He's
currently seeking experienced students to help tackle the final stages of Seawulff constructioi
which include installation of fuel and water tanks, and completion of rigging and interior
finishing.
Already equipped with a 30 horsepower diesel engine installed during the summer, the
Evergreen craft has a 12-foot beam, draws five feet, and carries 7300 pounds of external
ballast. Her hull is constructed of Port Orford cedar, cabin roof and trim are of Honduras
mahogany, and decks are of teak.
When finished, she'll sleep up to eight persons and will be used as a teaching and research
vessel for Evergreen's Marine Studies program.
Named in the memory of Reid Wulff, an Evergreen student boatbuilder who drowned in 1978,
the vessel has been built with the professional help of Olympia boatbuilder Don Fassett, who
last fall also carried teaching responsibility for the project. Professional boatbuilders
Kirk McDonald of Vashon Island and Carl Brownstein, an Evergreen graduate who worked on the
original '38, also contributed long hours to her construction.
Now, says Filmer, it'll be up to a new crew of students to prepare for the spring launching.
"I'm looking for up to 22 students who want to help finish the boat
and who already
have experience and seek to polish their skills in boat building, wood joinery or metal
working," says Filmer. "While they're working on the boat, these students will gain academic
skills in basic engineering and physical science
and they'll participate in the completion
of a goal for which many of us have aimed for years," adds the professor of engineering and
marine studies.
Persons interested in viewing progress of the craft are encouraged to stop behind Laboratoi
Building One any time over the next few months, not just during the demonstrations on Monday
and Tuesday. Those who want to enroll in Filmer's class should talk with him during registration days
September 25 to October 5.
-4FASM DEDICATION POSTPONED
Dedication of the Organic Farmhouse, originally scheduled for September 27, has been
postponed until November 19, according to Corner Roseman, clerk of the works of the building(
project.
The Farmhouse, under construction for the past five years by students and other volunteers
is "not quite finished" says Roseman, and student sponsors felt the dedication should be delayed until all work was final. In addition, those constructing the facility are considering
an appropriate dedication of it and need time to clear their proposal with college officials.
MEET LEISURE INSTRUCTORS TUESDAY
Instructors of more than 70 Leisure Education workshops will be on hand to meet potential
participants at a special orientation program tomorrow September 25, from 6 to 10 p.m. on

CORRECTION OFFERED ON "ADULT LIFE CHANGES"
Adult Life Changes, a new half-time program offered this fall, generates eight quarter
hours of academic credit, not two as incorrectly reported in the Evergreen Evening News.
Faculty Members Dr. Peter Elbow and Dr. Margaret Gribskov say their course, especially designed
for adults who are engaged in making changes in their lives, begins Monday, October 1 at
6 p.m. in rooms 2207 and 2211 of Laboratory Building II at Evergreen.
Open for up to 44 students, the new course seeks to help adults prepare for and deal with
major transitions. Students will examine recent social science research on changes and
explore classic and modern literary treatments of such transitions and, in the process, gain
a better understanding of their own life changes. Students will also gain academic skills for
further study in literature and social science in the course, which continues throughout Fall
and Winter Quarters.
RADIO THEATER TO BE REBORN
A chance to participate in a live resurrection of the golden days of radio will be open
to local residents of all ages this fall when two advanced Evergreen communications students
offer joint workshops in "Radio Theater Production." Taught by KAOS radio programmer Judy
Eyslop and senior drama student Gwen Garfinkle, the Leisure Education worksh6ps are now open
for registration and begin meeting October 9 to prepare two live radio productions, which will
be staged by workshop participants before a live audience in Communications Building.
"We want to introduce persons between 7 and 77 to the joys of radio," says Garfinkle.
"We'll explore the creative use of drama in producing one or two plays, emphasizing radio
techniques, characterisation and sound effects."
The special children's class meets Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4:30 to 6 o'clock,
followed by an adult class the same days from 7 to 8:30. Both sessions are offered purely for
enjoyment, not academic credit.
Persons interested in helping the two "bring back radio" are invited to register for
"Radio Theater Production" before October 12 in the Recreation Center.

FACULTY TO NOMINATE CONVENERS; FINALIZE 1980-81 CURRICULUM
When Evergreen faculty members returned to campus this morning, they found they faced
two immediate tasks: the nomination of conveners to head ten divisions of the curriculum
and the completion of plans for next year's academic programs on which they began work last
spring.
President Dan Evans was slated to welcome faculty back in a 10 o'clock session this
morning in Lecture Hall One. Among Evans' charges to the returning professors was a call
on them to finish up curriculum planning so a new catalog can go to press in time to aid
fall recruitment efforts in state high schools. Evans believes the current two-year catalog
has become obsolete. The document traditionally was published once biannually with only a
general description of what opportunities might
be available. Each winter, an annual
publication, the Supplement, was issued to specifically describe the next year's curriculum.
MUST HAVE ANNUAL CATALOG
That procedure won't work any more, according to the president and many of those who've
worked to develop the college's marketing plan. Instead, Evans believes, a new annual catalog
that includes the supplement must be written
and published
this November to enable
the Admissions team to tell high school students now what they can take next year. To meet
that publication need, which the President sees as urgent, faculty members have been asked
to finalize their curriculum plans by the first of October. The academic deans and provost
are committed to delivering the complete and final version of the 1980-81 curriculum copy
to the college editor by October 9
some two months earlier than ever before.
The other ma^or task facing faculty this morning
nominating their peers to serve as
conveners
will help them meet the catalog deadline, since each of those ten faculty
will spearhead curriculum development in their area. Conveners are not a new creation among
the faculty, according to Provost Byron Youtz. But what is new this year is the way they've
been selected and the assignment of more specific responsibilities to them. This year faculty
members were asked to nominate two of their peers in each of the two specialty areas in which
they serve. The academic deans and Youtz are slated to meet at noon to review the nominees,
narrow the list down to three in each area, and by this afternoon, announce their selection
of one convener to head each Interdisciplinary Study Area and one to head Basic programs.
Youtz hoped an eleventh convener might be chosen to head Annual Programs as well.
The provost believes the new emphasis on specific convener responsibilities will "strengtl
en the planning and information transfer functions of the various curriculum areas." To
further strengthen conveners' roles, Youtz and the deans have clearly defined responsibilities
and promised each convener "an appropriate level of released time, up to 25 percent, depending upon the magnitude of their task,"
CONVENERS APPOINTED FOR TWO YEARS
All conveners selected today will serve two-year terms and will share eight major common
responsibilities: to insure curriculum copy is written according to the deans' criteria; to
plan and review their area's curriculum to "ensure proper coverage;" to "make recommendations
to the Library and Cooperative Education office regarding special needs;" and to make recommendations to the deans "concerning space, facilities, equipment and budget needs."
-2Conveners will also be in charge of periodic reports for their area and will serve as
central information sources for student services and other key offices. The conveners, says
the provost, "may delegate these activities to other members of their curricular area
affiliation, "but," he emphasizes, "the responsibility for successful outcome remains with ("'
the convener1,1 whose performance will be "a significant factor in faculty evaluation."
FACULTY WELCOMES 26 VISITORS AND ADJUNCTS
Twenty-six new visiting and adjunct faculty members will join the instructional staff
at Evergreen when orientation activities begin for new and returning students next week,
according to Vice President and Provost Dr. Byron Youtz. Among the new professors are eight
persons hired as visiting teachers for up to three quarters and 18 newcomers hired as
adjunct members of the faculty who will teach part-time when classes begin October 1.
Accepting one-year appointments on Evergreen's faculty are: Dr. Robert Cole, chairman
of the department of physics and acting director of the Computer Center at the University
of North Carolina at Asheville; Dr. David Englert, director of the electronic music studio
at Saddleback College and conductor of the concert choir at Cerritos College, both in
California; Dr. Mark Farah, instructor of microeconomics and macroeconomics at University
of Oregon; Jan Krawitz, coordinator of audio distribution for the department of radio,
television and film at Temple University; Dr. Arthur Mulka, instructor in public administration at California State University and former director of program planning and monitoring,
community development and model cities programs for the Mayor's Office in San Francisco;
Thomas Ott, former graduate assistant in filmaking at Temple University; Rita Pougiales,
graduate research assistant for the Center for Educational Policy and Management at the
University of Oregon; and Dr. John Warren, associate professor of geology at Grand Valley
State Colleges in Michigan.
New part-time professors, who will join 14 others serving as adjunct faculty members,
are: Ken Balsley, who will teach "Introduction to Print Journalism;" Keith Clark, "Accounting;"
Thomas Deming, "Ceramics;" Jo Garceau, "Values in Contemporary American Society;" Peter Gei3(
"Movement Therapy;" Vera Grosowsky, "Introduction to Weaving;" Bob lyall, "Basic Photography;
Ronald Jorgensen, "Eastern and Western Insights for Personal Growth;" Cynthia Herman, "Child
Development," and "Approaches to Psychotherapy and Counseling;" Chuck Mitchell, "Audio Recording
Dr. Charles Miller,"Political Economy of Energy and Political Economy of Nursing Homes;" Wilfred
Morrish, "Small Business Administration;" Ruth Palmerlee, "Costume Construction and Design;"
Mary Ann Peters, "Studio Art" in new Port Angeles program; Peter Randlett, "Audio Recording;"
B. Dennis Schmidt, "Business Insurance;" George Schram, "Music Theory III" and "Chamber
Orchestra;" and Jerome West, "Beginning Acting."
NEW TRUSTEE NAMED;
BOARD MEETS THURSDAY
When Evergreen's Board of Trustees convenes next week, its four veteran members will
welcome their newly appointed colleague, Herbert Gelman, a Tacoma attorney named by Governor
Dixy Lee Ray last week to replace retiring Hal Halvorson of Spokane.
The new trustee, whose appointment becomes effective October 1, will observe the board
tackling a full agenda, including proposals to reduce tuition and fee rates changed to alums,
salary raises for exempt staff members, proposed changes to campus speed limits, and formal
approval of bids for drywall and interior doors at the Organic Farm. Also facing the board
will be reports on graduate program planning, Organic Farmhouse completion, and on the status
of a class action suit filed in 1976 against Evergreen with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, by Ernest Stone Thomas and others affiliated with the college.
Sure to attract trustee attention at their Thursday morning session is a special report
on comprehensive marketing and admissions planning drafted by Admission Director Arnaldo
Rodriguez, which will be preceeded by a recruitment film for third world students.
FORMER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER
School business agendas are nothing new to Gelman, who served on the Franklin Pierce
School board for eight years, including the year it was selected as the Outstanding School
-3-
Board in the State of Washington. The 47-year-old father of four has been in private law
practice in Tacoma since 1966. He taught business law on a part-time basis for three years
at the University of Puget Sound, has served as an assistant attorney general and as a
captain in the United States Air Force.
Gelman also has served on a number of commissions and boards, including his continuing
tenure as vice chairman of the Public Employees Collective Bargaining Committee (PERC) to
which he was appointed in 1969 by Dan Evans. Glen also serves on the board of Lakewood Genera]
Hospital, is second vice president of Tacoma?s Family Counseling Service and is a member of
the Parkland-Spanaway Citizens Advisory Committee. He earned his bachelor of arts degree
from Brooklyn College and his law degree from the University of Washington. His appointment
is effective through September 30, 1985.
MORE COURSES, EXPANDED SERVICES. REMODELED FACILITIES GREET RETURNING EVERGREENERS
When students return to Evergreen for orientation activities next week, they'll find an
expanded list of part-time studies courses, a number of new services offered during evening
hours, and several remodeled or spruced up facilities. The new courses, designed in part as
a response to needs expressed by local residents during a recent survey, open for registration
on September 25 in two academic fairs designed to acquaint students with faculty members and
course descriptions. Students interested in full-time studies are urged to attend the afternoon Academic Fair from 1 to 4 o'clock, while part-timers are invited to an evening fair,
from 5 to 7 o'clock, both on the second floor of the Evans Library.
Nearly 90 courses are open to part-time students this fall, the largest number of
Evergreen's history. More than 40 of them are taught after 5 p.m. and others are also
scheduled as early as 7:30 a.m. and as late as 8 p.m. for the convenience of working persons.
EVENING STUDIES OFFICE OPENS
Also designed to make evening studies more attractive is the expansion of a number of
Evergreen services, which features creation of a new office for evening students which opens
Fall Quarter on the second floor mall of the College Activities Building (CAB). Open from
6 to 9 a .m. Monday through Thursday beginning September 25, the new office will be staffed
by student and professional employees who'll provide information on classes, publications,
policies and procedures, and will make available other data pertinent to ^student's social and
academic lives at Evergreen.
Expanded Security services will also swing into operation Fall Quarter, when campus
security officers don new uniforms and add more staff during late afternoon and evening hours.
Security director McDonald Smith says his team will staff two vehicles in campus parking
lots during afternoon and evening hours to offer assistance to visitors and students alike.
In addition, security staffers will be on campus 24 hours a day and will be readily identifiable by their new blue blazers.
Bus service, arranged with Intercity Transit will also give students more frequent
access to the college. Lynn Garner, associate director for student activities, says more
bus runs
both earlier and later than before
will be offered Fall Quarter, with service
beginning from downtown Olympia to Evergreen at 7:45 a.m. and concluding at 11:30 p.m. seven
days a week. Special midnight runs will be offered from campus on Friday and Saturday
evenings, arriving downtown at 12:30 a.m., and earlier service will also be offered on
Saturday and Sunday mornings, with service set to begin at 9:45 from campus.
Despite the expanded bus service, Garner says bus fares remain the same
25 cents
each way for all passengers. Plans are also in the mill for providing monthly passes for
Evergreen students which may be available by October 1.
BUILDINGS GET FACE LIFT
Once students arrive on campus they'll find a number of changes in campus facilities,
especially in the College Activities Building and the campus housing. Facilities engineer
Parrel Six says nearly $40,000 has been allocated to conduct "aesthetic remodeling" of the CAB,
-4including installation of new carpeting and furniture, improved acoustics, fresh coats of
paint, softer lighting, more bulletin board surfaces, and even a variety of planters
both hanging and stationary
to improve the appearance of the main QAB maH('
In addition, the campus deli, previously a sandwich stand which also sold fresh vegetables, dairy products and snacks, has been expanded by more than 200 square feet and by
September 24 will be able to supply hungry students with fresh pastries, expresso coffee,
dipped ice cream, hot sandwiches, salads, and other snack items. The expanded deli, located
on the second floor of the CAB, will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
On campus students will also find changes in their residence halls, where nearly
$150,000 has been allocated for extensive remodeling. A new games room has been created,
complete with floor to ceiling carpets and a variety of games; another room has been set
aside for television viewing and has been acoustically remodeled and decorated with colorful
murals. Students will find a new mail room and vastly remodeled community kitchens which
now have two stoves, "tons of counter and storage space, up to three refrigerators, and
room for up to 20 students to cook all or some of their meals," according to Housing Director
Ken Jacob.
A special attraction for housing residents will be a new mini Mexican restaurant in
Building A, which will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
Other less noticeable changes on campus include the resealing of campus parking lots
and relocation of Security and Key Shop to Laboratory Building Two. By the end of Fall
Quarter, two other major remodeling jobs will also be completed: the renovation of KADS
radio station, and the construction of climbing equipment in the CAB for children enrolled
in the college's daycare program.
HOUSING CRISIS HITS CAMPUS, LANDLORD HELP SOUGHT
More than 80 "unhoused" students are expected to arrive at Evergreen for orientation .,
activities this weekend and college officials are sending out a call for help from community
landlords,, according to Housing Director Ken Jacob.
"For the first time in our history, our residence halls and duplexes are filled to capacity," says Jacob. "We've requests for more than 40 more accommodations than we can serve
and we expect that number to at least double when students return for Fall Quarter classes."
Evergreen's housing units can accommodate up to 588 students, says Jacob, but he and
his staff are working hard to find additional space on and off campus for the anticipated
rush of unhoused Evergreeners. "We're already planning to put mattresses down in the
Recreation Center multi-purpose room and to place extra students in some rooms," says Jacob.
"We've also issued a call to faculty and staff members who can share housing space. But,
what we really need is help from local residents who may have apartments, duplexes, houses
or trailers they will list with us for student, faculty or staff rental," he says.
Despite the crunch, students planning to attend Evergreen this fall need not fear they'll
be "left out in the cold," Jacob adds. "If they're patient, we'll find them a room of some
kind until more permanent arrangements can be secured."
Primary causes of the housing crunch, which Jacob predicted last spring, are twofold:
inflation and Evergreen's growth. "The average price of housing for a single student on
campus is $85 per month, including all utilities except telephones," he says. "Rates are
much higher off campus and students just can't afford them." The veteran housing director
also believes the gasoline shortage may have encouraged returning students to opt for oncampus rather than off-campus places. Compounding the shortage is Evergreen's projected
growth for Fall Quarter.
"The Admissions Office tells us applications are up 22 percent over last year," he
says. "That's hitting us too," he grins, "but it's the kind of news we like." The crunch,
the tighest in Evergreen's nine year history was predictable, says Jacob, "because throughout the past academic year college housing was 99 percent filled. We knew we were going
to fill up this year and we've tried to give students as much advance notice as possible."
Jacob has already run some newspaper advertisem*nts seeking rental listings, but
received no responses "except from students who saw the ads and wanted to know if landlords
had responded." Now he urgently hopes area residents with rentals will call his office as
soon as possible so he can begin referring students, faculty and staff renters to them.
-5"The biggest wave of students seeking housing will come in the next two weeks," adds
Jacob. "But, the crunch will continue throughout the year, so any listings persons have
vill be most welcome."
One indication that the crunch will increase and continue, he adds, are the number of
cancellations for rooms. "Ordinarily we have up to 30 who cancel their housing reservations
by September 1," he says. "This year no one cancelled. That makes me think we'll also
probably have fewer no shows than in the recent past.
Persons with housing listings are urged to call Jacob's office at 866-6132 weekdays
between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
SPECIAL REGISTRATION FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES OFFERED
Public employees in the Thurston County area still have two more opportunities to register
for classes at Evergreen before regular registration activities begin. Earlyse Swift, special
admissions representative, says she will conduct special registration sessions for public
employees September 18 and 20 in locations convenient to persons working for state, county
and local government.
"This fall we're opening a number of academic programs of special interest to public
employees," says Swift, "and we hope to make enrollment in those courses as easy as possible."
Registration for public employees will be offered Tuesday, September 18 from 11 a.m.
to 2 p.m. in the main lobby of the General Administration Building, and Thursday, September
20, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the cafeteria of the Airdustrial Park in Tumwater.
Swift says she and other representatives from Evergreen will be on hand at all three
sessions to offer complete information on academic courses, admissions procedures, financial
aid, veterans' benefits and other information pertinent to public employees.
New courses and programs designed especially for public employees this fall include:
"Public Management: Roots and Realities," a half-time program which meets Mondays and
Thursdays and is designed for persons in their first two years of college; "Management and
the Public Interest," a program designed for advanced students in management who seek either
half- or full-time study; "Adult Life Changes," a half-time program for persons over 25
whose lives are undergoing change and who need to develop academic skills; and "Reintroduction to Education: A Program for Women," which Swift says will also be available on a fullor half-time basis for women who have been away from the classroom for some time.
MANAGEMENT FACULTY OFFER INFORMATION SESSIONS
Faculty members from Evergreen's management studies will host the second of two special
information sessions next week to acquaint Thurston County residents with full and part-time
study opportunities before classes begin. Dr. Gary Ray and Dr. Niels Skov will meet with
interested local residents Tuesday, September 25, beginning at 4:30 p.m. in the 1600 lounge
of the Evans Library Building.
Dr. Ray is coordinating upper division full and part-time studies in "Management
and the Public Interest", while Dr. Skov is teaching in "Public Management: Roots and
Realities," a new half-time evening program offered for students in their first two years of
college.
REGISTRATION FOR LEISURE WORKSHOPS OPENS

which this year include some special new
programs for youngsters

AVIATION LICENSES MAY GENERATE CREDIT
Pilots who hold an "up-to-date basic package" of aviation licenses may be awarded
nearly a year's academic credit to apply toward their bachelor of arts degree under a new
program announced recently by Evergreen.
Academic Dean Will Humphreys says Evergreen, like several other colleges and universities nationally, has carefully reviewed the learning and skills development necessary to
obtain such certificates as the commercial/instrument license, multi-engine rating, airline
transport pilot license and flight instructor ratings.
"We've determined that these learning activities merit the award of up to 35 hours of
academic credit," says Dr. Humphreys. "Each pilot's package will be weighed individually
and may be eligible for additional award of credit through Evergreen's External Credit Office."
Specifically, the new policy awards up to 14 quarter hours for completion of the commercial/instrument license; two quarter hours for the multi-engine rating; eight quarter hours
for possession of Airline Transport Pilot license; and up to 11 quarter hours for flight
instructor licenses.
Evergreen will not award transfer credit for possession of a private pilot's license.
Complete information on the new policy is available through Walker Allen, Evergreen Registrar.
RAZNEVICH OFFERS SEPT. 29 SOCCER CLINIC

success" from former professional soccer player and coach Ivan Raznevich, who'll direct a
five-hour soccer clinic Saturday,September 29 at Evergreen.
Raznevich, who is recruiting and training Evergreen's first intercollegiate soccer
squad, says the clinic is especially designed for men and women coaches in Thurston, Mason,
Lewis and Pierce Counties who "would like to polish their soccer coaching knowledge and
skills."
The Saturday session, which begins at noon in room 110 of the College Activities Building,
carries a $10 registration fee which Raznevich says is due in the Recreation Center Office
by Tuesday, September 25.
Questions about the September 29 clinic may be directed to the Recreation Center, 866-6530.
NO SLIM PICKENS AT COUNTRY WESTERN NIGHT FRIDAY
Evergreen faculty and staff are invited now to plan to attend the first
grand "welcome back to Evergreen country western night" Friday, September 21, beginning at 6 p.m. in the College Activities Building. Dan Weiss and other cohorts who
are staging the knee-slapping, belly-filling dinner/hoedown, say Slim Pickens will
probably not be in attendance, but he won't be missed, 'cause everyone else on campus will be there when the dinner bell clangs, announcing a sumptuous chuckwagon feast.
According to "cookie" Vonda Drogmund, hungry Greeners can fill up on ham,
potatoes au gratin, salads, hot dogs, vegetable casserole, corn on the cob, chips
and ice cream — all for the inflation-fighting fee of $1.50 for adults and 50c
for children five and younger.
And, food's not all there is to it. Weiss says there'll be plenty of
refreshments from the watering hole, including milk, soda pop, beer, wine and
coffee. Right after dinner (at 7:30 p.m.), Tex Mitchell and Independent Country
band will offer some foot-stomping music for listening and dancing to kick off the
new academic year and give everyone a chance to get acquainted with new faculty and
staff.
Buy your tickets in advance at the Cashier's Office or at the Bookstore,
Activities for youngsters will be available if Weiss can round up volunteers for
"short-time" duty to show movies and direct some busy activities. Volunteers should
call Mary Kalihi, 866-6120. See you Friday.

CONGRESS STUDIES VA'S "SEAT-TIME" RULE; RECIPROCITY APPROVED
By Les Eldridge, Assistant to the President
An omnibus Veteran's Administration bill, S870, was recently heard in the Senate
Veterans Affairs Committee in Washington, D.C. Part of the bill addresses the problem of the
VA requirement that full benefits be paid only to those veteran students who spend at least
12 hours of time seated in lecture classes each week. This "seat-time" rule was the cause of
Evergreen's suit against the VA last year. Although the district court in Washington State
ruled in Evergreen's favor, similar cases in two mid-western districts where the courts ruled
the VA had no authority to impose such a seat-time standard have been recently overturned by
the appellate court. The Senate Bill and a companion measure in the U.S. House of Representatives were efforts by the VA to place the seat-time rule into statue. Ironically,
in view of the adverse appellate decisions, the VA's efforts may be Evergreen's best hope for
retaining full-time benefits for veteran students enrolled in individual contracts.
The recent Senate version has not been released, but reports indicate it favors
Evergreen's position, allowing institutions to determine full-time status of veteran students
in any course in which veterans comprise less than 50 percent of the enrollment. Reports
also indicate the Senate version may provide four-fifths of full-time benefit for those few
internships or independent study arrangements which provide for little or no faculty contact
The Senate version of the bill should be public within a week and should be reported to the
full Senate within a month. The House VA Committee will probably hold hearings on the Senate changes next month.
OREGON AGREES TO RECIPROCITY
The State of Oregon has agreed to terms of tuition reciprocity proposed in House Bill
226 and passed by the Washington Legislature last session. The agreement provides the opportur
ity for Oregon residents to attend Washington institutions in counties in the VancouverPortland area at Washington tuition rates and allows Washington residents from those counties
to attend Oregon community colleges and Portland State University at Oregon in-state tuition
rates. Oregon residents will be admitted to the Evergreen/Vancouver program at in-state
tuition rates.
