In 1975 Washington State Rep. Keuhnle, an established enemy of TESC, compiled a survey regarding Evergreen. He sent the survey form to "every 82nd name in the Olympia telephone directory" (389 people). Recording a nearly 46% response, his survey had some interesting findings. Here's a sample:
» The philosophy of education and the types of courses offered at TESC are generally:
TESC should: Dr. McCann, President of TESC: The existence of TESC has contributed to the drug abuse and crime problem in this area: Seminars and open meetings at TESC such as have been presented concerning male homosexuality, lesbianism, marijuana usage, World Liberation, and other such thought provoking subjects should be: The hiring of instructors such as anti-war activist Stephanie Coontz to teach at TESC: This survey generated quite a bit of publicity at the time, and Rep. Kuehnle had some unsolicited responses. Some quotes from those: ""[TESC is] a permanent rock festival here in this town for we taxpayers to support the creeps from out of state who just come here to hide from life. This school is encouraging these young people to use drugs, stay dirty, learn more and meet more homos." "Did you know that the paved area in front of the libary is known as 'RED SQUARE'?"
