TESC Facilities Director Jerry Schillinger had one last controversy to enjoy before his departure from the College in 1976. He had authorized the spraying of herbicides along the ditches of the Evergreen Parkway. That alone was enough to cause a political storm. But to makes matters worse, a bank of lupine, plentiful and beautiful the previous year, was now reduced to only a single flower. This became a major issue on campus.
» Two anonymous signs popped up along the Parkway. Both of them, at first glance, had an official look about them. The now-dead ex-lupine spot had a long sign that read, "Where Have All the Lupine Gone?" and elsewhere we saw, "The Evergreen Corps of Engineers Schillinger Memorial Ditch." Every now and then I'll hear an Evergreen oldtimer proclaim, "Save the lupine!" Not quite as esoteric as "All hail Jobbo Bonobo!" but it does serve as sort of a code for being on a particular campus at a particular point in time.
