In 1993, the number of women in the U.S. House has nearly doubled; 

it has tripled in the U.S. Senate. Women are serving as heads of state 

and government in more nations around the globe than ever before. 

Last December, the "Year of the Woman" drew officially to a close; 

but there seems reason to continue the celebration. 

Twenty years ago, women in this country embarked on a re- 

education plan that had, as its platform, the idea that women 

and men deserved equal opportunity. The hard-won gains of 

the women's movement have placed females in important 

roles in government, law, business, education, publishing, 

health care, science, and the arts. Barriers have been worn low 

and the term, "women's work," has been given new meaning. 

Recently, writers like Gloria Steinem, Maya Angelou, and 

Susan Faludi have helped women better understand them- 

selves, this new world, and their roles within it. Television 

executives like Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, Diane English, 

and Susan Harris have produced programming that gives 

some insights and uncovers humor in women's partnerships 

with men. 

Hillary Rodham Clinton has brought a fresh vision to her 

roles as first lady, mother, successful attorney and, now, 

creator of a new, national health plan. Closer to home, new 

Washington Senator Patty Murray beat the odds by beating 

the pavement in her ever-present, now famous running shoes. 

Even closer, Jane Jervis is president of The Evergreen State 

College, the first woman to hold the position in Washington's 

public higher education system. 

Patricia Ireland presides over the 280,000-member Na- 

tional Organization for Women. "I came of age in a society 

where women were expected to become—first and foremost 

—wives and mothers," she has said of the past. It was a world 

in which she did not meet a woman attorney until the 1970s. 

This edition of ReView will introduce readers to attorney 

and Evergreen graduate Meagan MacKenzie; an inspiring 23- 

year-old woman who graduated cum laude from Notre Dame 

Law School last spring, and returned home to Longview to 

practice poverty law. 

"It's a good time to be a decision maker," reports Rep. 

Elizabeth Furse, the first Evergreen graduate to be elected to 

the U.S. Congress. She, like MacKenzie, is an activist for 

impoverished communities. Furse shared her views with Bill 

Clinton, when the president was putting together his economic 

stimulus package. 

Readers will meet Greener Julie Grant, who heads a private, 

vocational rehabilitation counseling firm in Olympia. Grant 

helps injured workers over the hurdles delaying their workforce 

re-entry. 

Susie Archibald, in partnerhip with husband Phil Rollins, 

has created a thing of beauty in her artistically inviting, 

Evergreen-inspired, Archibald Sisters gift shop, located in 

Olympia. Greeners Marlysse Martinez and Sonja Seeber have 

joined hands with graduates Roger Brown and James Krupke 

to form a community of care for persons with chronic chemical 

dependencies complicated by multiple psychological disor- 

ders. Toni Holm, co-owner and vice president of KXXO-FM, 

Olympia, made vital contributions to KAOS as station man- 

ager in the mid-'70s. She and long-time business partner David 

Rauh, another of KAOS's reformers, have made KXXO a 

popular choice among local, soft-rock listeners. 

Here, then, are glimpses into the lives of women working to 

aid the injured, impoverished, and aged; women working in 

partnership with men to help persons wrestling with addiction 

and abuse, and to create beauty for the eye and ear alike. The 

spirit of Evergreen is here, in each one of these tales and each 

one of these people. 

The celebration continues; enjoy.


Attorney Meagan MacKenzie is all too aware of biases held against 

women in the law profession. Sometimes, she says, she even hears 

them coming from her clients. 

A man with whom MacKenzie had been working called her 

office at Evergreen Legal Services, Longview, with a question. 

He needed more information, but could not recall the name of 

the person with whom he had been speaking, he told the 

secretary. The secretary asked him if he had talked to one of 

the office's attorneys. 

"Oh, no," the man replied, "I didn't talk to an attorney. I 

talked to a woman." 

MacKenzie is part of a growing number of female attorneys 

furthering an area of law called alternative dispute resolution, 

which makes use of the more-relational, less power-concerned 

communication skills tradi- 

tionally associated with 

women, to suggest new an- 

swers to old questions. Things 

have come a long way, reports MacKenzie, but some distance 

remains to be traveled; she fights a battle that counts a 

disproportionate number of women among its captured or 

conquered. 

Spirited MacKenzie surprised many when, after graduating 

cum laude from Notre Dame Law School last spring, she 

returned home to Longview to practice poverty law. MacKenzie 

displayed uncommon courage and purpose for someone just 

22 years old and the youngest in her class. She also revealed 

values that were clearly Evergreen-influenced. 

MacKenzie, then Graham, was 19 when she graduated 

from Evergreen in 1989. "My Evergreen education was much 

more valuable to me than my Notre Dame education," she 

says. "Because of the way I learned at Evergreen, I learned how 

to think, and how to think for myself. If you have a question 

about something, you have to realize you have the resources to 

find the answer yourself." 

One thing she learned at Notre Dame was that many 

students seemed more committed to establishing political 

futures or becoming wealthy than entertaining new ways of 

thinking. All this pomp and little-circumstance threw the 

idealistic MacKenzie into culture shock. But she is thankful to 

have had the opportunity. It helped her formulate an idea that 

empowers all she does: conflict is resolved when people are 

able to reach common ground by learning to understand 

differing points of view and share thoughts with one another. 

Championing life's extremes produces the most dangerous 

type of ignorance, she believes. 

Meagan MacKenzie 

But an open mind is a terrible thing to waste, she warns. 

Action is an all-important component to bringing about 

change. MacKenzie is one of two poverty attorneys at the 

Longview office of Evergreen Legal Services, an organization 

devoted to sustenance issues. MacKenzie is the office advocate 

for senior citizens, and spends many hours educating the 

community about legal alternatives to their often-desperate 

situations. 

MacKenzie exudes a zeal in her role as advocate for the 

poor. She has no time for cynicism with circumstances so dire, 

she says. 

"If I lose this hearing," MacKenzie tells herself, "this family 

will lose its food stamps and won't eat. 

"It's easy to keep my vision." 

"Because of the way I learned at Evergreen, 

by David Over 

I learned how to think, and to think for myself. "

First Greener 

Democrat Elizabeth Furse is the first graduate of The Evergreen State 

College to be elected to Congress. Throughout her campaign to represent 

Oregon's 1st District, Furse insisted that people focus on her positions 

and capabilities—not on the fact that she is a woman. 

We need to move beyond looking at people based on their 

gender, Furse warns. Women's involvement in community 

organizing is nothing new, she says. 

"Nobody is going to remember 'The Year of the Woman' at 

the next election," explains Mary Fetsch, Purse's press agent. 

Being elected to represent Oregon's 1st District is a natural 

progression for a woman who has been a community activist 

since early in life. 

Furse was born in Nairobi to British parents in 1936, and 

raised in South Africa. She had her first initiation to public 

service at the age of 15 when she marched against apartheid 

with her mother, a founder of the women's anti-apartheid 

group, Black Sash. 

After living in London, Furse moved to Los Angeles at the 

age of 22. There, she helped organize the United Farm Work- 

ers grape boycott, and a self- 

sufficiency project for low- 

income women in Watts. 

In 1968, she moved to Se- 

attle, where she helped organize Citizens for Indian Treaty 

Rights. Next, Furse managed the successful 1972 Oregon 

Nuclear Weapons Freeze ballot measure. 

In 1973, Furse enrolled at Evergreen to do an independent 

contract designing and teaching new math classes for an 

elementary school in New Brunswick, Canada. Furse says her 

Evergreen experience helped her develop skills as an educator. 

" Everything I do as a community organizer involves educat- 

ing people." 

Since graduating in 1974, Furse has successfully lobbied 

Congress to legally recognize three Indian tribes, founded the 

Oregon Peace Institute, organized the "Citizen's Train" that 

transported 300 people to lobby for a "citizen's budget," and 

helped run a vineyard in Hillsboro, Oregon, that she and her 

husband own. 

"With the Cold War over, it's a good time to be a decision 

maker," says Furse. 

Purse's legislative priorities are economic conversion of our 

cold-war economy, preservation of salmon runs through 

habitat restoration, and finding solutions to the problems of 

impoverished communities. 

"Defense must go lower," says Furse, who advocates cut- 

Elizabeth Furse 

ting the defense budget in half, directing $80 billion of the 

savings to the deficit and $70 billion to infrastructure and 

education. "We need to cut the big-ticket items like Star Wars 

and the stealth bomber, while minimizing the cuts in military 

personnel." 

In a recent meeting with President Bill Clinton, Furse 

lobbied for her positions. "He wrote them down, but I don't 

know if he was listening." 

"Everything I do as a community organizer 

involves educating people."

The nation's growing community of persons with chronic chemical 

dependencies and multiple psychological disorders is being ignored. So 

says a team of four Evergreen graduates that is among the few addressing 

the needs of such people. 

Two members of that team, Marlysse Martinez and Sonja 

Seeber, '89, have special skills to recommend them. These are 

skills, they say, that have more to do with their being women 

than their having degrees. 

Roger Brown, '84, coordinates the MICA program for the 

mentally ill chemical abuser. "They just fell through the 

cracks," says Brown of women and men suffering from this 

multiplicity of problems. 

They find themselves caught 

in a desperate struggle, he 

explains. Chemical depen- 

dency experts refer such people to psychotherapists; their 

addictions are the result of their mental illnesses, they contend. 

Psychotherapists send them 

back, saying their mental ill- 

nesses are the result of their 

chemical addictions. 

The last Greener bridging this gap is James Krupke, '74, 

MICA clinical team leader. 

Coordinator Brown brought the MICA program to the 

Community Care Division of Tacoma's Greater Lakes Mental 

Health Foundation in the mid-1980s, after seeing it modeled 

as a University of Maryland research project. 

"My Evergreen training has definitely helped," says thera- 

pist Martinez. "I feel like I'm in seminar when I'm in 'group.'" 

This is not a comment on the mental faculties or addictions of 

her former classmates and mentors. Rather, it describes how 

closely related MICA is to the college's amalgam of shared 

learning, processing, "real-life" experience, interdisciplinary 

study, and seminar. 

The focus of MICA is toward the survivor of abuse, says 

Martinez. Her clients have suffered sexual abuse, and may 

exhibit borderline personality or post-traumatic stress disor- 

ders, eating disorders, and any number of compulsions. Be- 

cause women tend to be caretakers, she notes, they can wind 

up with the weight of the world on their shoulders. 

"There are all kinds of ways to separate yourself from the 

hurt, the pain, the anger," notes Seeber, a therapist and case 

worker. Her clients seek solace in drugs and alcohol. After 

time, it becomes very difficult to unravel this interweaving of 

disorder and drug. 

Because women seem to be more familiar with their emo- 

tions than men, and appear able to better articulate them, they 

have made significant strides. It helps them to view Martinez 

and Seeber as role models. The two have an understanding of 

the abuses the women they treat have suffered, they say, that 

goes beyond what they learned in school. 

"A clinical environment should be as close to the real world 

Marlysse Martinez 

Sonja Seeber 

as you can get," says Brown. The MICA program eases clients, 

or consumers of mental health services, out of the clinical nest 

by helping them develop understanding of their problems as 

they play vital roles in their own recovery. In group gatherings, 

consumers and therapists meet to introduce themselves, share 

personal stories, and identify their struggles. 

After naming their demons, consumers and facilitators 

study together to develop tools with which to confront their 

illnesses. Facilitators extend a large measure of autonomy to 

consumers. As in the real world, successful symptom-manage- 

ment is a matter of individual responsibility. 

Peer pressure helps guide consumers along their paths to 

maturity, add Martinez and Brown. "We are their family," 

explains Brown. "We prefer to play down any kind of 

authoritarianism." 

Martinez has added an exercise component to MICA that 

has not only produced some excellent athletes, but has also 

shown consumers how to substitute healthy behavior for 

addictive. This is not life in a bubble. When clients learned 

about state funding restrictions, they approached Martinez 

about writing letters to legislators. 

Brown boasts that MICA is responsible for a 75-percent rate 

of abstinence from drugs and alcohol among its consumers. 

"It's not magic," adds Martinez, "just hard work."

An Olympia Jewel 

The Archibald Sisters gift shop is one of downtown Olympia's jewels. 

Its stunning window displays catch the eyes of passers-by, drawing 

them in for a lingering look. Once inside, shoppers experience a 

free-spirited and intriguing alternative to some of Capitol Way's more 

traditional stores. 

It seems fitting that this unique shopping vision is, in part, 

the creation of a former student of The Evergreen State College. 

Susie Archibald attended Evergreen in 1976and 1977. She and 

her husband, Phil Rollins, are the partnership behind the store. 

Archibald says the flexibility of her course work in manage- 

ment and the arts prepared her well for small business owner- 

ship. She gives particular credit to mentor Maxine Mimms. 

by David Over Susie Archibald 

" 'Women in Management' was the best management course 

I've ever taken—and I've taken a lot of them. It was the most 

focused and gave the most tools," explains a woman who has 

conducted business in downtown Olympia for 17 years and 

weathered two economic downturns. 

Archibald laughs at the notion she has won success in the 

gift-shop market because she is female. Women and men 

reverse traditionally held roles all the time, she says. Indeed, 

traditionalists might be surprised to learn that it is Rollins who 

designs the displays. Archibald orders the merchandise, using 

skills popularly associated with both females and males. 


Perhaps the most unique section of the store is its cosmetics 

area. Archibald Sisters carries lotions, massage and bath oils, 

shampoo, and some 200 scents that may be added to lotion 

bases at a customer's request. Archibald even carries the scent 

of rain for Olympians who cannot get enough precipitation. 

Smelling good is good business, reveals Archibald. Demand 

for scented cosmetics is steady. In fact, some 30 percent of the 

grance makers did not want for business. 

store's sales come from its 

cosmetics area. It is her secret 

to success. Even during the 

Depression, she notes, fra- 

Archibald advises those already in or looking to enter 

today's rocky marketplace: 

"Take risks," she suggests. "Use your passion." First and 

foremost, however regardless of your gender: 

"Believe in yourself," she says. 

Getting Back 

to Business 

Evergreen graduate Julie Grant owns a vocational rehabilitation counseling 

firm. Early on in her career she began meeting informally with four 

other women, also owners of rehabilitation firms. 

Members of the group, called Sisters of Rehab, met to offer 

support to each other and expose the secrets of a rehabilitation 

industry long closed to outsiders. 

"We found a way to influence the system and empower 

ourselves and other people," says Grant, '79. 

Things have come a long way since her beginning in 

business as a vocational rehabilitation counselor in 1986. She 

had a tiny office, telephone, 

microfiche reader, and a col- 

lection of skills. Today, Grant 

& Associates employs four 

Julie Grant 

counselors. Grant herself manages the business and handles 

the more difficult cases. 

The Olympia-based firm, contracted by the state Depart- 

ment of Labor and Industries and self-insured companies, 

helps injured workers get back into the workforce. The 

company assesses an injured worker's condition, develops a 

plan to get that person working again, and monitors the 

implementation of that plan. 

It was after several years with another vocational rehabili- 

tation firm that Grant decided to set out on her own. To 

survive, she figured she needed 10 clients per month. "I had 20 

clients my first month, and I haven't looked back since," she 

says. 

As an undergraduate intern, Grant worked in Evergreen's 

Career Development Center. After graduating, she worked on 

various projects, such as an evaluation of the handicapped 

programs used by the Washington State Parks and Recreation 

Department. 

Her business is based on reputation. As the perception of 

Grant grew, so did her firm. Grant & Associates now handles 

over 150 clients each month. 

"I went through a phase of hiring only Evergreen graduates, 

because I know how resourceful they are," Grant says. Pres- 

ently, she is grooming her daughter, Evergreen graduate 

Kendall Grant, '91, to take over the business so she can move 

on to other things. 

"It's an exciting job. You have to be organized and innova- 

tive. You have to have medical expertise, be entrepreneurial-, 

and be a good researcher. I enjoy the work, and I think it's a 

significant contribution to society. These people have a right 

to work, but there are a lot of barriers."

Mixing Life 

by David Over 

The largely female listening audience of KXXO-FM, Olympia, has 

crowned a new king of the airwaves. "Pipe down, Neil Diamond," 

listeners said in an informal poll conducted by the station at the end 

of 1992, "we want to hear more Michael Bolton." 

Toni Holm, station co-owner and vice president, could not 

have been more pleased by this passing of the microphone. 

A decade of dedication and devotion has gone into the 

making of the station, which is No. 1 with local listeners, 

says David Rauh, Holm's long-time business partner, station 

president and general manager. Holm and Rauh waited eight 

years for the FCC to award construction of the new station. 

It was an additional two years before KXXO took to the 

airwaves. A fitting paean to this struggle was the very first 

song played by a station announcer in January 1990: "The 

Long and Winding Road." 

"We are obsessed with what we are doing," says Holm, who 

spends 24 hours each day with Rauh, her partner in life, as 

well. "People say we're crazy to spend this much time together, 

but it works for us. 

"We're a good team. One of the things that makes it work 

is that David is not a sexist pig," she jokes. 

Indeed, Rauh agrees with Holm's definition of femininity, 

which includes an instinct for survival, drive, resilliance, and 

tenacity. Holm explains: 

"I was brought up to feel that I had to get a job to support 

myself. I believe that my partner in life is not responsible for 

taking care of me." 

Holm and Rauh began their association at KAOS in the late 

1970s. Though they served different terms as station manager, 

they had similar goals. The two, along with KXXO Program 

Director John Foster, are credited with enlarging and reshap- 

ing KAOS's universe. They increased the station's signal so 

that it reached farther into the communities surrounding 

Evergreen, and, believing turn about to be fair play, encour- 

aged community members to take part in broadcasting. 


Toni Holm 

Michael Huntsberger, current KAOS general manager, says 

Holm and Rauh left lasting impressions. "Toni had a really 

clear vision of community radio, where people participated as 

equals. That vision runs like a thread through the fabric of the 

station today," he reports. 

"David is a great businessman; a great negotiator," 

Huntsberger continues. "At a 

time when KAOS was really 

living up to its name, he cre- 

ated a context in which this 

eccentric, eclectic radio was not only justifiable, it was honor- 

able. 

"The two of them make a powerful combination." 

Holm and Rauh say their Evergreen experiences prepared 

them well for partnership and commercial radio. 

"The hands-on experience we got at Evergreen helped us 

believe we could do whatever we wanted to do," explains 

Rauh. 

"It prepared us for life, not just a job," Holm adds. The two 

are so alert and in tune with one another that one question 

receives two, similar answers. 

Holm and Rauh consider their creation of a supportive, life- 

enhancing work-place one of their top accomplishments. Per- 

haps it should be for partners who so relish what they do and 

are so seldom apart. 

What is their secret for success, one wonders. "Don't let 

anyone tell you what to do," recommends Holm. 

"Have perserverance," echoes Rauh. 

This is good counsel for anyone, particularly Michael Bolton. 

The crooner, it is rumored, wants to try his hand at acting.

What Matters in College? 

Another higher education authority is weighing in with evidence that 

Evergreen is built on the most solid of concepts for effective learning. 

Alexander Astin, a nationally renowned researcher who studies 

what helps college students learn, just published a book featuring 

findings of an intensive national study. 

Based on surveys sent to 150 campuses representing the range of 

college curricula nationally, coupled with follow-up visits to a few 

exceptional campuses including Evergreen, Astin identified a series 

of factors that enhance student learning. He discusses them at length 

in his new book, What Matters in College? published by Jossey-Bass 

Press. 

What matters most, according to Astin, is the amount of time 

faculty (not including graduate students who teach) spend with 

students and the quality of that time. Other important factors 

include how involved students are with their education; whether the 

curriculum encourages cooperative learning; the amount of time 

students spend discussing issues with their peers; and a student body 

that reinforces a positive climate for learning. 

The research also found that a college's commitment to diversity—when 

the commitment reaches into what's taught and how it's 

taught—has a positive correlation with cognitive development and 

a negative correlation with the desire to acquire material goods. 

Astin also cites an important serendipitous factor: If students are 

given the freedom to follow their interests, something interesting will 

happen and students will learn. 

Sound like Evergreen? Astin agrees. In a January 12 Seattle Post- 

Intelligencer article Astin called Evergreen one of the superior 

undergraduate teaching institutions in his study, unusual for a public 

college. 

Among Evergreen's most dramatic departures from the national 

norms, according to Astin's study, are the college's emphasis on 

diversity and cultural awareness and the teaching methods faculty 

employ. 

Astin works for the Graduate School of Education at UCLA and 

used an annual survey of freshmen in 1985 as a base for the study. 

(Results from the latest survey, released this fall, are examined in 

"Era of Greed Subsiding," following this story) 

Summing up his findings, the last paragraph in Astin's book 

strikes at the heart of Evergreen's philosophy of teaching and 

learning: "Give these (students) a good deal of freedom, coupled 

with some new challenges and new responsibilities, and some good 

things will happen. Often we really have no idea what those good 

things will be, but the students will seldom disappoint us." 

Air Quality Becomes Major Issue 

Evergreen joined the ranks of 

institutions across the nation that 

are struggling with issues of indoor 

air quality and its impact 

on people. 

The college's Library Building 

has been the focus of attention 

and concern, which was 

heightened in December when 

maintenance and remodelling 

projects scheduled during winter 

break caused problems. One 

project involved removing carpet 

in the Student Advising Center 

floor; the other, a routine 

resurfacing of the floor in the 

Media Services TV studio. Both 

projects required using solvents 

which produce fumes that are 

normally contained within the 

work area, but a series of mechanical 

failures in the ventilation 

system caused fumes to be 

pumped throughout the building 

on two separate occasions. 

As a result, the Library Building 

was closed on two occasions, 

and parts of the building 

were closed on another day. 

Throughout the last two weeks 

in December and the beginning 

of January, employees who were 

unable to work in the building 

due to air quality were able to 

take administrative leave (paid 

leave that doesn't affect an employee's 

vacation or sick leave) 

or work elsewhere if possible. 

While few students were affected 

during the break, classes were 

moved to other buildings when 

possible once classes resumed. 

Health effects described by 

employees and students have 

ranged from burning eyes and 

drowsiness to bloody noses and 

constricted breathing. 


Three outside consultants 

were hired in mid-January to 

conduct thorough investigations 

of problems in the Library Building 

to lend their expertise in 

finding causes for reported 

health effects and to make recommendations 

for how they 

could be addressed. One consultant 

is a certified industrial 

hygienist, another is a specialist 

in Heating, Ventilation and Air 

Conditioning (HVAC) systems, 

and the third is an engineer 

with experience designing 

HVAC systems and troubleshooting 

for sick buildings. 

An advisory committee of 

staff, faculty and students was 

formed to oversee efforts to address 

air quality and provide a 

communication link to people 

throughout the campus. People 

who use or work in the Library 

Building also were asked to complete 

diaries to report time and 

location of any health effects. 

Era of Greed Subsiding 

College freshman of the '90s are more likely to have social activism 

on their minds and slightly less likely to view a college degree 

primarily as a ticket to a higher-paying job when compared to their 

predecessors of the '80s, according to a recently released survey. 

Although Evergreen freshmen have not been immune to these 

trends, they've always been far more likely than the average U.S. 

student to say developing a philosophy of life and "making the world 

a better place" are important goals in life. 

The survey of freshmen attitudes, skill levels and aspirations has 

been conducted annually by the Higher Education Research Institute 

at UCLA since 1967. This year 213,630 students responded to the 

survey, a project headed by Alexander Astin, a nationally recognized 

researcher. Evergreen has participated in the survey nearly every 

year since opening its doors in 1971. 

Two questions from the survey have been featured in one longitudinal 

analysis that attempts to describe the trends in motivation to 

attend college held by entering freshmen: (1) the importance students 

attach to developing a philosophy of life, and (2) the importance 

they attach to being financially well off. 

These two values have tracked in opposite directions. During the 

late '60s and early '70s, developing a philosophy of life rated high, 

while earning lots of money rated much lower. During the '80s, the 

value attached to developing a philosophy of life took a nosedive 

while the vast majority of freshmen looked forward to making big 

bucks and buying things. 

This fall, the number of students who said "being very well off 

financially" was an important life goal dropped from 76 percent to 

73 percent. That is still significantly higher than it was 20 years ago, 

when about 50 percent proclaimed a commitment to making a lot of 

money. But it is the fifth straight year the figure has declined, 

according to news reports on the study. At Evergreen, 20 percent 

said being well off was a primary goal, compared to 25 percent last 

year. 

On the rise is an interest in social activism, with an all-time 

national high of 42 percent of freshmen saying "helping promote 

racial understanding" is an essential or very important goal. Sixtyseven 

percent of Evergreen's freshmen agreed. 

It seems freshmen of the '90s are showing more interest in the 

quality of life, measured in ways other than quantities of money. For 

this trend, Evergreeners are way out front. 

At press time, final reports 

were due from the consultants. 

Preliminary reports suggest there 

is no single cause for the health 

effects reported beyond the immediate 

impact from the two 

projects. However, many modifications 

and repairs have already 

been made in the HVAC 

system over the past two 

months. Other recommended 

improvements are expected in a 

consultant's final report. For a 

majority of time since the initial 

building-wide problems occurred, 

100 percent outside air 

has been pumped through the 

building's HVAC system 24hours 

a day, rather than the 

usual blend of outside and recirculated 

air pumped during working 

hours. Other precautions 

have been permanently instituted, 

such as banning vehicles 

from driving into the basement. 

Overall, the number of reported 

health effects has gradually 

decreased. Some people still 

occasionally feel effects and others 

continue to work outside the 

building. 

Indoor air quality, it appears, 

will continue to be an important 

campus issue through spring 

quarter, while many changes in 

policy and practice made to help 

ensure clean air in the Library 

Building will be permanent. 

The5War-long celebration by KAOS of its first two decaaSs ?n: 

broadcasting, "20 Years in Your Ears," got underway in January 

when a station-sponsored campus performance by the Righteous 

Mothers drew a record crowd. Station General Manager Michael 

Huntsberger presented the act and was as animated as a corner 

newsie when he displayed a special, celebration-oriented program 

guide and told the crowd to read all about it.

Gloomy budget forecast comes closer to reality 

"Once again, Evergreen may be 

at the forefront in higher education, 

this time in the unfortunate 

but necessary task of preparing 

for potential reductions in state 

operating funds. With a state 

revenue shortfall expected to 

exceed $2 billion, the cost of 

continuing the same level of state 

services is far outpacing revenue 

the state is projected to collect. 

While the exact level of cuts will 

not be known until the legislative 

session ends, higher education 

is not expected to be immune 

from the reductions facing 

all levels of state-funded operations 

in the 1993-95 biennium 

beginning July 1. Higher 

education expenditures represent 

nearly 30 percent of the 

state budget that can be cut. 

(About half of the state budget is 

protected from budget reductions 

by law.) 

While state revenue shortfalls 

are not unique to Washington, 

and while deep and, often, devastating 

cuts in higher education 

have been sweeping the 

country, it is Evergreen's approach 

to dealing with the crisis 

that may be somewhat unique. 

With a strong commitment 

to improving campus communication 

and expanding Evergreen's 

collaborative teaching 

model to include collaborative 

governance, President Jane Jervis 

in November instituted a highly 

consultative budget and planning 

process designed to facilitate 

broad, campuswide participation 

in discussions about reduction 

proposals. Planning 

councils comprised of staff, faculty 

and students have been established 

within each division 

and at the institutional level. 

Each division has identified possible 

cuts and their impacts at 

levels ranging from 5 to 20 percent, 

using institution-wide guiding 

principles to aid their discussions 

of priorities. (Reductions 

at the higher levels are not expected, 

but planning for them 

would enable the college to make 

enhancements in some areas by 

making deeper cuts in others.) 

Preliminary plans from each 

division—academics, student 

services, finance and administration, 

and the president's 

staff—were presented on March 

3 to the Operational Planning 

and Budget Council, which will 

be responsible for drafting an 

institutional budget reduction 

recommendation. Copies of the

Despite the Cold, Fall and 

Winter Events Were big Hits 

In the fall, the Evergreen Alumni Association sponsored Greener 

Gatherings in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, and Vancouver, at 

which graduates met new TESC President Jane Jervis. Some 150 

alumni shared their stories and visions of Evergreen with Jervis 

during these festive "1-5 corridor" receptions. 

In January, faculty members Tom Rainey, Richard Alexander, 

Pat Krafcik, and Ainara Wilder participated in an enlightening 

discussion called "Prospects for Democracy in Eastern Europe" 

with a TESC student from former Yugoslavia, an Olympian of 

German heritage, and other members of the Olympia commu- 

nity. 

Greeners in Olympia came in from the cold in January to 

gather for wine tasting in the warm confines of the Green Frog 

Wine Shop. Hostess Paula Penry, '90, shop owner, provided a 

palate-pleasing array of Northwest wines and hors d'oeuvres. 

Olympia Greeners met for coffee tasting and dessert at 

Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters. Shop owner Carolyn Skye, 

'87, and Cherie Challain hosted the event. In February, Seattle 

Greeners had a splash of a bash, says organizer Rachel Burke, 

'82, at the Seattle Aquarium. Those attending the seaside soiree 

enjoyed a dessert potluck, caught up with old friends and met 

new ones as well, while touring the impressive aquarium at a 

reduced price. The event was the first in a series of gatherings 

planned for Seattle alumni, many of which will take the form of 

seminars. 

The Evergreen Alumni Association thanks everyone who 

organized and attended these events. 

East and West Coast Alumni 

to Meet Jervis 

Alumni on both coasts will have the opportunity to meet new 

Evergreen President Jane Jervis as she visits Boston, New York, 

and Washington, D.C., from March 22 through March 26 and 

Los Angeles and San Francisco from April 17-21. See the 

"Alumni Events Calendar" and watch your mailbox for further 

details. 

Wardrobe Ills to be Cured 

at Olympia Gathering 

Debra Shapiro-Stewart, '87, will cure wardrobe ills at a clothing 

clinic on Thursday, April 1, from 7 to 9 p.m. Shapiro-Stewart, 

owner of Olympia's Jinjor natural fiber clothing store, recommends 

that readers not be mislead by the April Fools' Day date 

of the event. Clothing problems are no j oke for those who adore 

a particular article, but cannot make it work within their 

wardrobe, she warns. 

Jinjor is located at 201 E. Fourth Ave., in downtown Olympia. 

The Evergreen Alumni Office is accepting RSVPs at 866- 

6000, Ext. 6551. 


Plans Underway for Truly 

Super, Super Saturday 

Association to Host Alumni Breakfast, Board Elections; 

Sponsor Arts-and-crafts Booth 

Like spring, Super Saturday will burst out all over the Evergreen 

campus on June 5. Plans are underway to make this the most 

fun-filled event in Super Saturday's history. Alumni are urged to 

call former roommates, and bring family and friends to this 

appropriately diverse, all-day celebration. Admission is free. 

Alumni may find particular interest in four, very special 

elements: an entertaining alumni breakfast, elections for the 

association's new board of directors, an alumni-sponsored artsand-crafts 

booth, and dance. 

Alumni Breakfast 

Super Saturday begins at 10 a.m. with the annual alumni 

breakfast in CAB 110. A full-buffet breakfast and killer entertainment 

are yours for just $5 at the door. 

Alumni Board Elections 

The Alumni Association's annual meeting follows breakfast. 

This is your chance to get involved with alumni programming 

and make a difference in the lives of fellow Greeners. If interested, 

call the Alumni Office at (206) 866-6000, Ext. 6551, by 

June 1 or come to the meeting and place yourself in nomination. 

Arts-and-crafts Booth to Feature Works by Alumni 

The association will sponsor an arts-and-crafts booth at 

Super Saturday and seeks contributions from all arty, crafty 

alumni. Interested artists are asked to submit an example or 

photograph of their work by April 30 to the Alumni Office, at 

TESC LIB-3114, Olympia, 98505. For further information 

contact the Alumni Office. 

Dance the Night Away 

Even if you don't get around much anymore, don't miss this 

Saturday dance. Plan to top off your Super Saturday by kicking 

up your heels during a nighttime dance beginning at 8 p.m. 

Hoofers of all ages are welcome to attend. 

Northeast Greeners to Gather 

The two-day Northeast Greener Gathering will take place at 

Pierce's Inn, Etna, N.H., beginning August 21. As in the past, 

reports organizer Walter Carpenter, '80, the event is open to any 

alumni ready to make new friendships, re-establish old ones, 

and rediscover Evergreen roots. Family and friends are welcome 

as well. 

The inn is situated near the town of Hanover and Dartmouth 

College, at the base of an old ski area. All-variety of outdoor and 

indoor activities are available, including mountain- and roadbicycling, 

hiking, tennis, swimming, volleyball, and pingpong. 

The inn's owners will host the gathering. A Saturday night 

dinner and Sunday brunch are planned. It is possible that a 

member of the college faculty or staff will be invited to attend 

the event, to discuss college developments and suggest ways that 

East Coast alumni might become more involved with the school. 

Reservations must be secured by a $20-per-person room 

deposit. There will be a modest f ood-and-lodging charge as well. 

Room and meal bookings will be handled directly by Pierce's 

Inn. Mail deposits to Dogford Road, Etna, N.H., 03750. The 

telephone number at the inn is (603) 643-2997. 

For further information, contact Carpenter at (603) 526- 

9219; Ellie Marshall, '79, at (802) 785-4017; Julie Fagan, '85, 

at (802) 866-5457; or Jeff Barton, '78, at (603) 448-2683.

Daughters 

This issue celebrates six Evergreen women who are making a difference...in law, in Congress, 

in mental health and vocational rehabilitation, in retailing and in radio. On April 28, a national 

public education campaign sponsored by the Ms. Foundation might help some future women 

make a difference—and anybody can participate. 

It's the first annual Take Our Daughters to Work Day-an event designed to make girls visible, 

valued and heard. To participate, you don't have to have a daughter; it can be a friend's 

daughter. And it doesn't have to be your workplace; it can be anything structured to help girls 

see the realities pf the workplace for women and imagine the day when they'll be working in 

boardrooms, banks, courtrooms, union halls, design studios and classrooms. 

New researchj|||)ws that in adolescence, girls learn to suppress their ambitions and to stop 

trusting their experiences. Girls are more likely than boys to experience discrimination, 

emotional distress, poverty, eating disorders, violence and abuse. Take Our Daughters to Work 

will set up an environment in which the public, the media, employers, teachers and parents can 

acknowledge girls' intelligence and desire for information, not just their good behavior and 

•'appearance.

The Evergreen State College 

Take your daughter to work on April 28—and learn what a difference a day can make. 

Anybody—mothers, fathers, daughters, teachers, workers, legislators—can organize the day at 

a school or workplace. And a special curriculum package designed for boys in school that day 

makes sure no one is left out. For a basic packet of information and instructions, write to: Our 

Daughters, Ms. Foundation for Women, 141 Fifth Avenue, 6S, New York, NY 10010.
