Pete week planned: week of activities set
Planning for Pete Week ’73
absorbed the BOC meeting
Monday.
Starting on the weekend, the
regularly scheduled film
“Flap” will be shown in the
Little Theatre at 7 p.m. on
Sunday, Feb. 11.
Monday will feature the
annual co-ed tricycle race
around the plaza, with men and
women teams participating.
Last year’s race was held
during icy conditions which
provided several exciting
moments on turns.
A mock “dating game” will
be held Tuesday, Feb. 13 in the
Little Theatre. Fashioned after
the television show, a panel of
eligibles will try to win the heart
of datable girls.
Wednesday’s highlight will be
IHe annual ten minute
marshmallow scarfing contest.
Two men—or women— teams
will compete in the intestinal
orgy for the trophy in the
display case.
The ever-popular slave sale
will take place Thursday, Feb.
15 in the PUB. Negotiations are
now under way to have Dr. Jack
Evans again serve as
auctioneer.
A cake walk, also in the PUB,
will be the main event on
Friday. All funds from the walk
and the Jello-toss will go toward
the Jim Crimmins memorial
fund.
After the homecoming
basketball game Saturday,
Vendetta will play at a dance
from 9:30 to 12:30 in the PUB.
This annual after game dance
traditionally brings Pete Week
to a close.
Additional information and
details on’the week’s festivities
will be posted early next week.
In other business, the board
approved the constitution of the
new student organization
Christians on Campus. Cynthia
Hill is serving as president for
winter quarter.
Funds were approved to
sponsor two poetry readings
during the month. The first, by
Robert Sund, was held
yesterday noon.
On Feb. 27, Elsie Istas, from
Seattle, will be featured in a
reading of her works in the
Little Theatre at noon.
Admission is free, with the
public invited.
Discussion on spring BOC
activities rounded out the hour
A beach party, bicycle and
hiking trips are all in the
formulative stage.
Jim Clem also reported on the
activities of CORP, an
organization of community
college student body presidents
which lobbies in Olympia for
student concerns. At present,
CORP is heavily involved in the
lobbying effort to lower the
state’s drinking age to 18.
English change tabled by council
A proposal to change
Peninsula’s English curriculum
was tabled for future
consideration at the
Instructional Council meeting
Jan. 30.
The change would dissolve
English 102 and replace it with a
second quarter of practical
English study, such as English
110 (business communication)
or English 150 (technical
writing).
Mr. William Lucas, English
Department chairman,
presented the plan, which is
designed to “end the repetition
of English 102 (which includes a
research paper) and replace it
with the more practical type of
course.”
In a poll of 108 students in his
classes, Mr. Lucas found that 97
favored “making English 101
required for transfer students;
and making English 110 and 150
recommended follow-up but not
necessarily required.”
In all, the same basic ninehour requirement in English or
Speech would remain the same.
During an open meeting of the
English Department in
January, several members of
the English faculty expressed
opposition to the basic need for
the curriculum change.
Chairman Lucas indicated
the revision was an attempt to
rectify ‘‘student
dissatisfaction” with English
requirements and bring PC’s
requirements in line with the
community college theory of
equal emphasis on both the
academic and the vocational
side of education.
In the same preference poll,
Mr. Lucas revealed that
students wanted to see such
courses as literature of the
Bible and Shakespeare added to
offerings.
Though most of the English
faculty agreed with the concept
of offering as many course
choices as possible, the
majority felt that the concepts
of both English 101 and 102
would be weakened by
combining them in one quarter
of 101.
At the Instructional Council
meeting, Dean Floyd Young
countered “I don’t see that we
need 30 credits in literature
beyond the comp, stage
(speaking hypothetically about
the addition of so many
courses).”
Mr. Lucas indicated that the
department had not come to
final agreement on courses for
graduation requirements, and
would be holding another
(closed) meeting in February.
Job referral offers listings
A new campus job referral
service has been organized to
inform students of current job
openings in the area.
Mrs. Susan Hammond is
coordinator of the state-funded
project, which will operate for
present and former students at
no cost. She will compile local
job listings and counsel students
interested in getting jobs.
The college has purchased
two microfiche readers and will
be receiving six lists of current
job opportunities daily from the
Washington State Employment
Security office. These lists can
condense as many as 1,248 job
opportunities from the entire
state on a four-by-five piece of
microfilm.
Students may read the films
on the readers, which will be
located in the Student Services
Building and in Mrs.
Hammond’s office. Part and
full-time job listings will also be
posted on the Job Placement
bulletin board in the PUB.
“If a student finds a job
listing he thinks he would be
interested in, he should see me
in the Job Referral Office in the
Administration Building,” said
Mrs. Hammond.
The new Referral service at
Peninsula is a pilot program in
the Port Angeles area. Of six
geographical sections into
which the State Employment
Security has subdivided the
State, Port Angeles lies in the
Western Washington section.
Official unemployment
statistics report that 11 per cent
of the population is unemployed
in this area.
“It may be more,” said Mrs.
Hammond, “because this figure
represents only those who are
now receiving benefits.”
“So far, without publicizing
this service, about 15 students a
week have come in,” she said.
Even for students who are not
interested in getting a job at this
time, Mrs. Hammond suggests
that reading the microfiche
listing can be helpful in
planning a future career.
“The lists reveal the types of
jobs (professional and service)
which are in demand,” she
noted.
“Another objective of the
referral service is to learn
whether our graduates have
been able to find work in the
fields they’ve trained in,” she
said.
The instructor is also working
with the cooperative education
program for secretaries, in
connection with instructors N.
Ross Maloney, George R.
Galles, and Mrs. Ruth Anne
Bopp. In the secretarial
program, as in other vocational
areas of study taught at
Peninsula, students may earn
up to three credit hours a
quarter for paid part-time work
in a field related to their
classroom training.
Year’s calender proposed
A proposed 1973-74 calendar
was presented during a meeting
of the Faculty Association Jan.
24.
Mr. Richard Fisch,
spokesman, chairman of the
calendar committee, indicated
the calendar as presented
offered: Quarters of equal
length (50 days each), a spring
vacation period with back-toback weekends, and several
daysset aside for special topics.
In the original proposal,
commencement was to be held
priorto the end of finals week. A
lively discussion on the pros and
cons of an “authentic”
graduation exercise followed.
Dr. Werner Quast favored
commencement after finals in
that it keeps the ceremony and
diploma awards more
“personalized” at Peninsula.
The burden on the
administration secretarial staff
in completing the grade
tabulations and diplomas also
contributed to amendment of
the calendar to have the 1974
commencement on June 13—
after the four-day finals week.
The association’s calendar is
negotiated with the college and
is still subject to considerable
amendment and change.
Editorial
Mach 4 revision
The current English curriculum hassle is a
provocative study in rush to judgment.
Originally, the haste to consider the revision
dissolving English 102 was justified as necessary to
meet deadline requirements for course descriptions in
the new college catalogue. However, speed is
basically compulsion, and in this case conceived from
some very dubious beginnings.
The initial proposal, as presented by the department
chairman, proclaimed the results of a poll on student
preferences indicating — on a scale from one to eight
— that the majority of PC students from the sample
group want to see classes offered in “Literature of the
American West” first, and such courses as
“Introduction to Criticism” and “Shakespeare” listed
fourth and fifth respectively.
Naive as college students sometimes seem, they are
not usually so passively innocent as to accept as
conclusive the results of so narrow a poll (108
students), nor to accept such surveys as justification
for curriculum upheaval.
The worst of this brand of thinking came at the
recent open meeting of the department. There, to the
amazement of spectators, the proposal was railroaded
through in quick draw gavel fashion, and the way
cleared for immediate consideration by the
Instructional Council.
This manner of change is deplorable. All of
Peninsula’s students, not just 108, deserved to be
polled with on the change: Anonymously, openly and
without fear of offending Father Time.
Whether the revision is ultimately beneficial to PC
students, or whether it becomes just a useful
attraction bait in the hunt for FTE’s, one thing is now
clear: Trans-Mississippi thinking has invaded the
corral of thoughtfulness and stampeded reason.

Prep program bill intiated
State Senator Gordon
Sandison (Rep.-Port Angeles) is
co-sponsor of a bill which would
authorize establishment of
predischarge education
programs (PREP) at all
military installations.
The bill, SB 2163, would allow
community colleges like
Peninsula to administer such
programs at all military bases
within the college’s district.
Through efforts of the State
Board for Community College
Education, clarification was
made during committee
hearings to allow PREP
activities extension to include
out of state armed forces
personnel.
Olympic and Big Bend
community colleges offer high
school completion courses by
mail to servicemen stationed in
Europe and Guam.
The bill came out of the
Senate hearings earmarked
with a “do pass” priority.
Bonus bill in committee
Proposed changes in the
Washington State Vietnam
Bonus Bill may extend the $250
bonus to all veterans of the
Vietnam war. Presently, only
those state veterans who were
awarded the Vietnam Service
medal were eligible.
Requirements state that the
veteran must have resided in
Washington for one year prior
to entering the armed forces.
The extension bill, SB 2017, is
now in the House
Appropriations and Rules
committee. Funds for the bonus
are derived from the state tax
on cigarettes.
Details on the bill’s progress
may be obtained from the PC
Veterans Affairs Office, located
in the Student Services
Building.
Gone fishin’
In an AP story last week, and a separate news story
in the Port Angeles Daily News, Peninsula was named
as one of five Washington community colleges
charged with illegal use of state and federal funds. A
state auditor’s report said that $1,500 of a $55,000 grant
was used by Peninsula, Yakima, Big Bend, Walla
Walla and Wenatchee community colleges for a
charter boat fishing party at Westport.
Commenting on the report, Peninsula President E.
John Maier confirmed that “one staff member did go
fishing at government expense.” President Maier has
refused to reveal the identity of the “fisherman,” or
the basis for holding the conference at a Grays Harbor
resort.
Though PC’s involvement in the alleged
misspending is small, the very nature of the charges
indicates that money was spent wrongfully. At a time
when funding for community college programs is
under consideration by the legislature in Olympia,
Peninsula College; or any college, can ill afford to be
caught with its hand in the dollar cookie jar.

The Motley crew
By DAN DANIELS
“Well, I see our $50,000 bellsystem isn’t working again, so
we’ll stop there and continue tomorrow.” This line has
become a legend in its own time as students leave their
history classes just in time to arrive at their next classes
five minutes late.
Then there are the members of the faculty who prefer to
ignore the bells whether they’re working or not.
Actually, rumor has it that the bells did work the first
three days after school opened. It was only after the
students began to depend on them that they started to
falter.
In this cloudy corner of the nation it’s possible that a
series of sundials situated around campus would be more
effective.
I can envision it now — a group of five students gathered
around a dial on the forum holding a flashlight over it and
trying to decide if it’stime to go to class yet.
The lack of a working bell system in most of the
classrooms is more than made up by the one in the library,
which seemsto ring six orseven times an hour.
“Was that the 9:50 bell?”
“Naw, that was the 10:12.”
“Oh.”
There were those optimists among us then who decided
that the only way to beat the system was to depend upon the
clocks, keeping their watches adjusted and trying to judge
by them when to head for class.
I’d had my watch cleaned twice before I realized that the
school’s clocks were built by the same firm that made the
bell system. It’s been speculated that there are no moving
parts in the clocks on campus—they’re just faces attached
to the walls and someone goes around and occasionally
moves the hands.
I realized once that something was wrong when I sat
waiting for my 3 o’clock class to start and then noticed that
the crickets and frogs were beginning to tune up in the dark
outside the window.
Some poor soul demonstrated his frustration one day by
ripping the clock off the wall in Room SS1. It certainly must
make a unique souvenir anyway, certainly on a par with a
pillow embroidered with a map of Butte, Montana, and the
words, “I love you, Mom.” I suppose that it could be used
for a serving tray or a frisbee, but whoever took it
apparently couldn’t come up with a use for the room’s bell
— under an inch of cobwebs it’sstill there.
I understand thatsome schools have done away with bell
systems altogether. At the end of the period an assigned
monitor goes around and wakes up students to tell them it’s
time to go. Bells are a thing of the past, just as ours
certainly are —even though some nostalgic custodian does
get them working on time every once in a while just for old
time’s sake.
I just wish that the clocks would work sometime so I could
find outhow long a thing ofthe past they are.
Letters Tutor elite
Editor, The Buccaneer:
This school has a really good
tutorial system. Any GI can be
tutored at government expense
and all others can be supplied
with a tutor at state expense.
Almost everyone else.
What about us poor students
who are transferring to a four
year school? For some reason,
we are not eligible for tutoring
services.
I plan on transferring to
Central Washington State
College for not only my
bachelor’s degree, but my
master’s as well. But, I need a
3.0 grade average before I can
get into graduate school and can
foresee some classes where I
will need help.
It seems the priorities of this
system are all backwards.
Seemingly, since the higher
education is not only more
difficult but expensive, the
student who strives for this
opportunity should be helped.
Not more help than someone
going only two years, just the
same amount.
I don’t ask for an unfair
advantage, just an equal
chance.

The Good Deal and Where to find it
By DAN DANIELS
and
SUE SPILLANE
It is the natural state for the
struggling college student to be
on the lookout for a bargain. It
has thus been our endeavor
these past few weeks to compile
a list of the biggie bargains
available, despite Port Angeles’
lack of bargain-hunting ground,
and, assome would say, its lack
of students.
In the food department, one
can start off with a rousing
breakfast at the “Hut Cafe” on
Lincoln. There for 47 cents after
6:30 a.m. one can have a
pancake and all the coffee he
wants. One pancake might not
seem like all that much until
you see it —- 10 inches in
diameter and inches thick, it
takes 20 minutes to cook. The
“regular” order is three of
these, although in the history of
the cafe only one person has
managed to down all of them.
She was granted free
ambulance service and is
presently on display at the
Smithsonian.
Lunch can be had at the
“Chuckwagon,” where for $1.74
you can get all you can eat,
which is a bargain if the cost is
shared by the entire dorm, and
the person there with the
largest pockets goes in.
For dinner there’s always the
famed “Arctic Circle
Aceyburger” for 29 cents, or the
“Ranchburger” for 69 cents if
you desire something inside the
bun. Or, if more exotic fare is
desired there’s always
“PePe’s” on Front offering a
hot Tamale, chili, and a cup of
hot chocolate, all for only 95
cents.
Also on Front Street is the
“Bakery Thrift Store;; which
sells all kinds of baked goods
cheap, simply because they’ve
been around for a little while.
After all, French bread is
supposed to be crisp, isn’t it?
Another good deal for stocking
up the kitchen are the famed
“Top Ramen” noodles
available in most food stores
around town for 15 cents. These
are light and wholesome egg
noodles in a unique broth which
in all their versatility can be
made into soup or eaten plain
(according to the specific tastes
of the gourmand) bv the simple
recipes on the back of the
package. These however are not
recommended for anyone
having studied less than two
years of Japanese and who can
translate recipes well.
Parking can be quite a
problem to the budget-minded
student, unless he knows the
ropes. The Port Angeles DriveIn offers free parking until
early March, for those who
don’t mind a little hike.
Otherwise you can pick up all
the free parking tokens you like
at the First National Bank.
Actually, only one token is
absolutely necessary, though —
drive into the first parking lot
downtown and into the third
space on the left. The handle
won’t turn on it and the token
will only partly go in. When you
leave you can retrieve your
token and use it again and again
(until you’re caught, of course).
The “Jack Pot” and the “Gas
Mart” both offer regular
gasoline for 32.9 cents a gallon,
and all the air you want can be
had for nothing at most other
filling stations.
A free car wash can be had
near the entrance to the Crown
Z mill. It is advisable, however
to do so only after dark when
you can’t be seen. If, on the
other hand, you don’t mind
paying the usual rate for gas,
you can have a legal car wash at
the Mobile station on First and
Race. You should also always
be sure to follow a Cadillac
through the wash as they
generally get the hot wax job
and the machine usually seems
to have a little left over.
Rates go down on longdistance calls after 7 p.m., for
those who have to make
periodic pleas with their
parents for more funds. What’s
more, the telephone booth on
the corner of First and Lincoln
often gives you your dime back
afterwards, which can be spent
on a nice-sized Pepsi at the
“Galley” right next door. Then,
just down the street is the
Lincoln Theatre where if you
can convince them you’re under
12 you can see a fine Disney film
for only 75 cents, or if you
convince them you’re over 18,
occasionally a good Warhol one
for $1.75.
Thus, it all goes to prove that
a bargain is in the eye of the
beholder.
Indians try in ‘Flap’
“Flap,” a Jerry Adler
production, is the film feature
Sunday, Feb. 11, at 7 p.m. in the
Little ITieater.
Directed by Sir Carol Reed,
well-known for winning six
Academy Awards for “Oliver,”
“Flap” is the story of the legal
but hilarious efforts of a band of
Indians to call attention to thendespair and futility on a
southwestern reservation.
Anthony Quinn is the star of
“Flap,” playing his first Indian
role since his Oscar-winning
performance in “Viva Zapata!”
He plays a tough, hard-drinking
Indian who laments the social
and economic neglect of his
people. His solution is to hijack
a railroad train, claim Phoenix
for his tribe and cause the Last
Great Indian Uprising.
Co-stars are Shelley Winters,
Claude Akens, Tony Bill and
Victor Jory in this lively and
entertaining screen version of
Clair Huffaker’s best selling
novel, “Nobody Loves a
Drunken Indian.”
Student admission is 75 cents.

‘Midsummer Dream’ set in modern period
Something to entertain every
age group should be present in
the modern interpretation of
Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer
Night’s Dream,” to be
performed Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
in the Port Angeles High School
auditorium.
According to English
literature instructor Miss
Margaret Holm, each new
group of players is faced with a
challenge to bring an innovative
element to the 16th Century
play, which has been performed
thousands of times.
“Shakespeare left very few
stage directions and no costume
limitations,” said Miss Holm.
“This leaves a great deal of
latitude for experimenting with
interpretation.”
Although the lines and
dialogue will be unchanged in
Tuesday’s New Shakespeare
Company performance,
costume will show a 20th
Century influence. The fairies
in “Midsummer” will retain
their expected airy garb, but
the tradesmen, who wore tights
in Shakespeare’s time, will be
wearing overalls.
‘Midsummer’ preview at Phi Theta
Tim Smith as Lion, Dan
Daniels as Moonshine, and
Dwight Waknitz as Wall helped
illustrate Shakespeare’s
“Midsummer Night’s Dream”
during the winter quarter Phi
Theta initiation program.
Mr. Kent Brauninger directed
the “play within a play” while
Mr. Lawrence Welch and Phi
Theta President Keith Baker
assumed the other roles.
Sharon Van Horn and Mr. James Lunt portrayed the play’s young and frusterated lovers, while Miss Margret Holm, the group’s advisor, provided background highlights.
The play will be presented Feb. 13 in the Port Angeles High School auditorium by the New Shakespeare Company from San Francisco.
Charles Piercy, Louis
Roberts, Paul Roline and
Loren Wegner were initiated at
the program in addition to those
student? listed in the Jan. 26
Buccaneer.
Refreshments featured a cake decorated with the Phi Theta insignia.
Kismet
By JEAN IVERSON
While I was sick with the flu a couple of weeks ago, I
viewed a lot of television and was sickened by all of the
advertisements — not so much the number of the
commercials during programs, but by the content — which
may have prolonged my illness. Anyway, I did come to the
conclusion that the television media must think that we (the
average viewers) are all a bunch of morons.
Advertisements are so suggestive. To make it in society,
they say a person should buy a certain brand of deodorant,
toothpaste, coffee, or soft drink.
Most advertisements are unrealistic, such as the eight
month pregnant woman who shampoos her living room rug.
But there are a few advertisements that really irritate me.
The least aggravating of the three focuses on a frustrated
adolescent who complains that her mother can’t call her a
little girl anymore. Although admitting thatshe’s not grown
up yet either, she states thatshe’s at that “in-between age”
where she worries about things. She talks as if she’s the
only person in the world with worries.
The second one is really unique. It’s a miracle that it
hasn’t been taken off the market for false advertising. This
product, which is a brand of weight reduction candy, seems
to perform miracles. A woman who weighed 225 poundslost
80 pounds and ended up measuring 38-28-40 and was
somehow able to squeeze into a size 7 dress. I’d certainly
like to know how she did it.
The last, and most infuriating advertisement I’ve ever
seen regarding women is degrading and cruel. It centers
around a man talking about how talented his wife is. After
all, she did take care of the children all day, clean the
house, and still have the strength left to pick him up at the
train station after work. Then he goes on to say that he
thinks he’ll keep his wife — she’s OK. Ugh! That’s not
enough, either. He has to add this line: “Honey, you‘re not
getting older, you’re getting better.”1 can understand wny tne advertisement includes only aphotograph of his wife. Any woman with a few brains would probably knock him flat, unless she took his remark as a
compliment. And ifshe did, I guess the media is right.
Campus Sports Seen
Putting a woman’s touch to the Peninsula College
Physical Education program is Mrs. Rose Moorhead.
Married and with one two-year-old child, Mrs. Moorhead
came from Tucson, Ariz., where she attended Salpoint High
School. She attended the University of Arizona and obtained
her B.S.C., then went to the University of Washington to
obtain her M.S.
Mrs. Moorhead’s hobbies include gardening, skiing,
tennis, music, art, and most of all travel, as she has
traveled to Europe and all over the United States and even
to the Arctic. She plans a future trip to Florida.
While attending the University of Arizona Mrs. Moorhead
competed in varsity women’s volleyball, basketball,
softball and badminton for her four years there. Her
teaching experiences have been in Tucson schools, then at
the University of Washington as a teaching assistant.
Mrs. Moorhead’s philosophy is that “everybody should
learn to enjoy physical movement and to have a skill they
can apply in their leisure time. Through this you should feel
a zest for life by being physically capable to enjoy
movement in a variety of ways and enjoy it. This learning
should be fun.”
With this philosophy Mrs. Moorhead teaches golf,
volleyball, archery, hiking, tennis, bowling, body
conditioning, badminton, basketball, health, first aid and
introduction to P.E.; and coaches WAA volleyball in the
fall, basketball in the winter, and either softball, track, or
tennisin the spring. These are extramural women’s varsity
sports.
Mrs. Moorhead would like to see more classes in outdoor
skills in this area’s environment. She also hopes to add one
more Moorhead to the family.
Jon Livingston is the male half of the Peninsula College
Physical Education program. Married and with three kids,
Mr. Livingston’s home town is Redding, Calif., where he
attended Shasta High School, class of ’53. He went on to
attend four colleges, beginning with Southern Oregon, then
on to University of Oregon where he earned his B.S. in P.E.
Mr. Livingston then went on to Ithaca College in New York
where he received his M.S. in P.E. The fourth and final
