At some point in the late 1970s, Evergreen's enrollment dipped to such a dangerously low level that some legislators were questioning whether or not the school was worth keeping open. That, coupled with several other political problems on the part of TESC administrators, made the students a but uneasy about the future of the school. There was a t-shirt that was popular then, copying the pretentious all-lowercase letters of the TESC logo. The shirt read: "the evergrowing state crisis." Well, maybe you had to be there.
