2 THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE ' Calendar-Newsletter June, 1970 Volume 2, Number 6 NEWS NOTES The Evergreen family continues to grow as more faculty and administrative personnel come aboard to further the planning process, which intensifies and gains momentum with every passing week. (Would you believe the first influx of students is only 15 months away?) Employment has passed the 60 mark and continues to rise. To refresh the collective memory, here's the rundown since the last issue of the newsletter: Faculty (All coming September 1, 1970) Alfred M. Wiedemann, currently Assistant Professor of Range Management at Oregon State University, Assistant Professor of Biology. David L. Kitchens, presently Executive Director of the Northwest Association of Private Colleges and Universities in Portland, As sis tant Profe s- sor of History. Byron L. Youtz, now Academic Vice President and Professor of Physics at the State University of New York's College at Old Westbury, Professor of Physics. E. Jackson Webb, currently an Associate Professor in the Center for Languages and Literary Study at Prescott College, Arizona, Associate Professor of English. W. Robert Barnard, presently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Motion Picture and Cinema and a Research Specialist in the Department of Chemistry and College of Biological Sciences at Ohio State University, Assistant Professor of Chemistry. William Aldridge. now Associate Professor of Education at Oregon State University, Associate Professor of Psychology and Education. Administrative Dayid W. Brown, currently Acting Director of Admissions at Howard University in Washington, D. C., becomes Evergreen's Director of Admissions on August 1. ( Perrin C. Smith, presently Head Registrar at California Western University at San Diego, assumes the post of Registrar at Evergreen on September 1* * * * *

3 Meanwhile, recruiting of persons to fill the final four faculty planning positions and additional administrative and operating posts continues daily. For a little perspective on the personnel question let's turn to Vice President for Business Dean E. Clabaugh, who has developed the following information: For each 18 full-time students, we can project approximately one faculty member; this means 44 faculty members in the fall of 1971, 94 in the fall of 1972, and so on, up to approximately 390 in To operate a college with its myriad of responsibilities, it takes about two other staff members for each faculty member. In other words, for every six students, one college employee will be required. Initially, Evergreen's ratio will be higher; we'll have 200 employees in 1971 for the 800 students and about 350 on the payroll in In the years thereafter the 1 to 6 ratio will generally prevail; we project Evergreen's employment at about 450 in 1973, and so on; by the time enrollment reaches 12,000, employment should approximate 2,000. Vice President Clabaugh's summary also looks at the possible economic impacts Evergreen may have on the local community. Although the figures are approximate and subject to all kinds of complex factors, they are interesting: Evergreen's payroll may be $2,000,000 by Discounting inflation, the payroll should hit $3,500,000 in 1972 and so on, up to the 12,000 enrollment level when the payroll (based on $10,000 average annual compensation) may reach $20,000,000. Payroll is only part of the picture. Spending by increasingly affluent students will have a major local impact. A best guess at this point (based on a number of complex assumptions) would be $500,000 in student spending in 1971, more than $2,500,000 in 1972 and perhaps $18 to $20 million annually at 12,000 enrollment. Another major element is direct expenditure by the college for goods and services purchased locally. These can be conservatively estimated at perhaps $250,000 in 1971, growing in increments fairly proportionate to enrollment and reaching a level of approximately $2 to $3 million annually by the mid-1980s. Another factor is construction expenditures, which, over the next ten years, could total $150 to $200 million. If only 25 percent of that amount (possibly a conservative figure) is spent locally, the impact could range from $37 to $50 million. If you add up all of those figures which ignore inflationary pressures--you can get some staggering totals. But even those sums conceal the full impact because they do not recognize the induced "multiplier" effect-»»the dollar stimulus to the community's economy over and above actual college input. Suffice it to say that Evergreen's presence will dramatically affect Thurstoa Countyla 4»opulation and economic growth. It goes without saying that Evergreen's impact will range far beyond areas which* can be measured in terms of statistical probability. The college is bound to affect community life style in significant ways culturally, intellectually, socially. In fact it is in these subtle and delicate areas of human relationships that patient ( and careful college-community planning becomes most essential. * * ** - 2

4 Turning to the construction scene. The big hole in the woods is getting filled by the library building, with Hoffman Construction Company of Portland reporting the job 12 percent completed as of May 31. Some 65 men now are on the Hoffman payroll :nd the total will increase as the project progresses. Evergreen's Library Construction Coordinator Don Mace reports one-third of the basement floor slab has been placed, 70 percent of the basement walls are up, and decking has been set for slab work on the east end of the first floor. At last report, workmen had poured 3,200 cubic y?.rds of concrete and placed 600 tons of steel in the huge structure. And, best of all, the job remains on schedule. * * * * Meanwhile, Director of Facilities Planning Jerry Schillinger reports that four construction bid openings are scheduled this month in the offices of the Engineering and Architectural Division of the State Department of General Administration. They are as follows: Site Improvement June 4 Shop and Garage June 9 Central Utility Plant June 23 Residence Halls June 30 In addition, two bid openings are scheduled next month: i 'College Activities Building July 10 Large Group Instruction Center July 22 (tentative) Two other projects will be bid late this year and early in 1971: College Recreation Center in December and Phase One of the Science Building next February. All of which means that things are really going to begin popping around the campus, Bulldozers, earth movers, cement mixers and hard hats may become as visually prominent as the trees that now dominate the landscape. Moving toward the start of projects which will be under construction next year and completed in 1972, the Board of Trustees last month approved preliminary architectural plans for two buildings. Trustees okayed design development concepts for Phase One of the Recreation Center and authorized architect Robert Price to draft working drawings of the 58,000 square foot facility. The board also approved schematic drawings for the 75,000 square foot first phase of the Science Building and authorized architects Narramore, Bain, Brady and Johanson of Seattle to move into design development, 5V * -It * Charles Teske, Dean of the Division of Humanities and Arts, joins the staff on a fulltime basis June 15 after many long weeks of plane hopping between Evergreen and Oberlin College (Ohio). Dean of Social Sciences Merv Cadwallader is due to arrive July 6 or 7 ~-»llowing a visit (business, pleasure, R and R variety) to the island of Hvar, _agoslavia. Of course, we're all familiar with the smiling face of Don (Quint ana Roo) Humphrey, who's been deaning in Mathematics and Natural Sciences since April. it *'i & ft - 3 -

5 i Notes on a couple of our faculty members: Willard C. Humphreys, who will become an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Evergreen in September, has edited an introductory philosophy textbook entitled Perception and Discovery* The book is based on the writings of the late Norwood Russell Hanson, under whom Humphreys studied at Indiana University and Yale University. It took Humphreys more than a year to complete his editing xrork. Evolved from Hanson's original Cambridge lecture notes, which Hanson had begun to transcribe into book form before he was killed in a plane crash, the book's illustrations and references had to be compiled almost entirely by Humphreys. Meanwhile, Humphreys plans to edit two more books of Hanson's papers, one a history of planetary theory and the other a collection of essays. Richard M, Jones, who becomes Professor of Psychology at Evergreen in September, also has been busy, according to a letter he sent to the Newsletter from Harvard University. He was a featured speaker at the Colorado Department of Education Workshop on Learning on April 28 in Denver and spoke at the Seminar on Innovative Teaching Techniques on May 3 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The seminar was held under auspices of the Educational Development Foundation. Jones recently conducted a one^day workshop in Innovative Teaching Techniques at the Division of Special Education and Rehabilitation at Syracuse University. From July 12 to 13 he will serve as a consultant to the Committee on Academic Innovation Summer Workshop to be held at Messiah College, Grantham, Pennsylvania. Another consultant at the workshop will be Ernest Boyer, Vice Chancellor of the State University of New York, who is a member of Evergreen's academic advisory committee. Professor Jones also notes some recent publications: He wrote two chapters in a volume entitled Sleep and Dreaming, published in April by Little, Brown and Company. The paperbook edition of his Fantasy and Feeling in Education has been published by Harper and Row. And his latest book, The New Psychology of Dreaming, will be published this month by Grune and Stratton, Inc. * * * ft And, a final note from Kris Robinson, our friendly neighborhood facilities planning secretary. First, she wants you to know that the girls softball team she coaches The Lacey Leaders is holding down second place in the league, with five games to go» Coach Robinson--sort of a Knute Rockne in skirts--says, "Don't let anyone fool you that the fun is in the playing we're out to win! " Second, Kris and a friend have pooled resources and started a little business called Vacation Home Care. Services to vacationing families include pet care, plant and lawn care, security checks of the home, mail collection, etc. Only hangup seems to be a. little insurance problem, but if we know Kris she'll solve it.
