Feiro warns of cuts in ASC budget
By ROBERT CARTER
The ASC budget has been
lowered—and students may
“feel the pinch’’ next year.
According to Dean of
Students Art Feiro, the
Student Council budget
dropped from a figure of
$69,750 last year’s total to
$66,840.
Feiro said the main
reasons for the drop were
lower student enrollment and
“a huge increase in prices.”
Fewer students means less
revenue coming from tuition
and higher prices »*o. pay for
the student activities funded
by the ASC.
Publications, ASC printing, special events, social
funds, the drama and musica
departments, and intramural
activities are some of the
areas that will be affected,
especially intramural
activities. Men’s basketball,
for example, will be
trimmed.
According to Feiro, three
games will be cut from the
basketball schedule, only ten
people will be carried to the
games, and a van will be used
instead of a bus. The dean
said the basketball program,
which cost $8,000 two years
ago, now requires $10,000 to
operate.
The ASC General Expense
fund drawn from student
tuition—will be $1,000 less
than last year. This means
the Student Council will have
less money to finance special
events such as dances and
Springfest. Those events
brought in less than the
expected return this year
further reducing the budget.
Nonetheless, effects may
not be as drastic as might be
feared. According to Feiro,
even though the budget is
cut, some departments may
find some funding assistance
from other accounts.
However, it seems that the
athletic department will not
escape the cuts. “They’re
going to feel it,” Feiro
warned.
He added, “The budget
should be 20 per cent higher
than (last year’s) $69,750,
but instead of that it’s more
like 15 per cent lower.”
Talent show:music,comedy acts tonight!
Tonight’s Spring Talent
Show is produced by the
Peninsula College Musical
Theater class. The curtain
rises this evening at 7:30 p.m.
in the Little Theater.
Admission is free.
So far fifteen acts have
been booked for the event.
Acts include a French horn
solo, an electric guitar
ensemble, and a light and
sound technical display
show’.
There will also be a piano
duet and a comedy skit.
Performances by the PC
College Choir, jazz ensemble
and Chamber Singers will
also be featured.
Bonnie Graves, the Talent
Show advisor, said
producing the show will
provide students with a
learning experience. “We
program it, we set it up so it
will run smoothly … so that
it flows . . .” she said.
Graves noted that
“Traditionally, the college
talent shows have been well
attended. A lot of people
from the community come
out to see them simply
because they have a history
of being entertaining.’’
In putting together the
talent show it was desirable
to “reach as many different
students as possible. That is,
students who haven’t had the
chance to perform before,’’
said Graves.
The show is a showcase of
talent, the Musical Theater
teacher added, not of
individual acts or types of
acts.
“If people come with the
anticipation of hearing a lot
of classical music, 1 think
they’ll be disappointed, or if
they come anticipating
hearing a lot of rock music I
think they’ll be disappointed,’’ she said. “But if they
come to hear a lot of different styles and types of talent
1 think they’ll enjoy it.’’
The program will be
hosted by Alexandra Colman
and Sharon Lepsik, Musical
Theater students.
Hostetler returns to work, ‘Great’ to be back, he says
Tom Hostetler says it feels
“great’’ to be back at Peninsula College as a faculty
member. As for his relationship with College President
Paul Cornaby, Hostetler said
“He’s treated me very fine.’’
“In fact, he’s bent over
backwards to welcome me,”
he said. Hostetler resumed
his continuing education
director position last week.
Asked if he believed the
college would appeal Judge
Tyler Moffet’s May 5
decision, Hostetler said,
“My feeling is that it can be
settled without appealing.”
Below is a copy of Dr.
Cornaby’s memo to faculty,
administrators, and staff
concerning his reinstatement
of Hostetler to resume his
former duties as the Continuing Education Director.
On May 1, the Clallam
County Superior Court ruled
that my termination of Tom
Hostetler on January 28 was
invalid. As a result of this
ruling and my intent to
comply with the ruling, I
have held discussions with
Tom regarding his return to
work. We have agreed that
he will.resume his previous
administration duties in
fulfillment of the balance of
his original contract as Director of Continuing Education. We have agreed also
that we will work cooperatively to ensure that this
transition may take place as
effortlessly as possible.

Editorial
Vandalism solution needed
A dormitory hall is flooded late at night. A fire alarm is
pulled at 3:50 that morning. A dorm sofa is put on fire. Rocks
are thrown through the chemistry lab windows.
Vandalism is a big problem at Peninsula College.
Unfortunately, there’s no easy solution to the hard problem.
Punishing or catching one vandal won’t necessarily
prevent future vandalism. The emphasis should be on
looking for permanent ways to prevent future vandalism at
the college.
One such measure has been the refitting of doors at the
dormitory. More measures like that are needed to
discourage vandals. If vandalism becomes too hard to do, PC
property will be safer.
Because the dormitory is owned by the student body, the
Council should explore ways to solve dorm
vandalism. Its too late this year, of course, for the student
government to do much about vandalism. Next year’s
council , though, should organize a committee to investigate
campus vandalism and come up with possible solutions.
The vandalism problem can’t be solved by pretending it
sn I exish Complaining about vandalism won’t solve it,
either.
If vandalism is to leave the PC campus, vandalism will
ave to look less attractive to vandals. If there are too many
o stacles in the vandal’s way—including the threat of being
caught vandalism could well become extinct.

Chapter 1 ends
Peninsula College returned to a more peaceful state last
week as Tom Hostetler, continuing education director, came
back to work.
Faculty and administration relations has a chance now to
get back to normal. The Hostetler case, at least temporarily,
has been settled. Harmony should now be restored between
the faculty and administration.
PC, though, has not come through the Hostetler
controversy unchanged. The administrator-teacher’s case
speeded up the PC Faculty Association’s affiliation with a
statewide union. That affiliation would probably have come
about, anyway, without the Hostetler incident. His case,
though, has bean called by PC teacher Werner Quast as a
“catalyst” of the union movement.
The biggest change, though, is in relations between the
faculty and administration. Hostetler’s lawsuit became the
case of the faculty versus administration. Now that the
lawsuit has been ruled on, the two sides need to drop the
“versus” and work together again peacefully.
Both sides seem willing to get along and work together in
harmony. That’s great. Dr. Quast said the faculty hopes with
its affiliation with the WEA, to develop better relations with
the administration.
Unfortunately, the Hostetler controversy is not yet over.
The case is scheduled for court Sept. 24 to discuss any
damages Hostetler may be entitled to.
Meanwhile, college president Paul Cornaby and the Board
of Trustees have not announced whether they will appeal
Judge Tyler Moffett’s May 5 ruling. Moffett’s court order
reinstated Hostetler in his old job because, the judge said, he
had tenure and was, therefore, fired illegally.
But at least, a lot of the waiting is over. No longer does the
college have to wait to find whether Hostetler had tenure or
whether his firing was legal. Also over is the waiting for him
•to return to work.
Faculty-adminsitration relations now have a chance to be
peaceful. The first chapter of the Hostetler saga is over.
Hopefully Chapter 2 will be lighter reading.

Fools paradise
By MARK PHILLIPS
Portrait of a failure: A college student 20 years from now with a prestigious job they find
routine but stick with because they’re making $.
Students who greet their husband or wife with a stiff kiss and then proceed to banter
about the day’s banalities between themselves.
Students who have many friends in the same boat, a 9 to 5 day of drudgery. A pattern
firmly locked in. . Students who married their sweethearts, thinking it assured them of happiness but find it
warped 20 years later by the unhappiness of their grinding, unfulfilling job.
For a moment—twenty years from now—one of these students will see their life without
the rose-colored glasses and see the empty void they’ve been living in.
Somewhere along the line, they’ll feel conned. Maybe by the parents who pushed the
young man or woman into a career he or she never really cared for.
Or didn’t take the time to find out what they really did want and lamely followed someone
else’s suggestion.
Or maybe the student grew up with the idea a prestigious job flowing with money is more
important than a job they enjoy.
Yes, it’s an old cliche, but it still happens too often. For those caught in this trap and for
those who don’t even know that they will, good luck. You’ll need it.
The students I really admire are the ones taking subjects related to the field of work they
really enjoy. They know what they want, they can feel the exhiliration of doing what they
enjoy most.
Others at Peninsula College are still searching for what they want to be, and that’s
alright. They’re taking careful aim with their life. Don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing
wrong with making money. That’s no evil. The evil is dictating your life’s job by the dollar
rather than by the enjoyment it serves.
I feel sorry for the person who gets locked in a day long job just for prestige. It’s not a
selfish thing these misguided people do. It’s a damn selfless thing.
They’re not looking out for their own interests—they’re burying them under the buck and
blowing their only shot in life.
Cave play is a clubber
By MARK PHILLIPS
Why did the recent PC
play The Boy Who Changed
the World have to cater to a
third grade mentality?
Certainly someone can
think of. something better
than a weak, satirical caveman play. Yet as we all
know, originality is getting
harder and harder to find.
The story stars George—an
inhibited caveman who
doesn’t fish or hunt but
enjoys picking flowers and
analyzing life instead.
The cave community
thinks he’s nuts until George
invents the wheel. Then he’s
a hero.
The best thing about the
play are the sets and performances. The re-creation of
the cave dwelling is convincing, and so are the
costumes.
Review of the arts
The performances are, for
the most part, enjoyable.
Robert Carter registers
appropriate authority as
George’s father and Jeanne
Rogers is fine as his wife.
The supporting cast is also
adequate, but Ken Dignam is
less successful as George.
Dignam doesn’t fit the role
of an introspective outcast.
The character of George
also has problems. Are we
supposed to be sympathetic
of a fellow who dismisses the
only woman who loves him
with, “Get lost, you big
boob”?
The play itself has some
eccentric quirks. During key
scenes in the play, Jim Lunt’s
highly patronizing voice
booms across the stage as
God and comments on
George’s woes.
Lunt also served as director. That’s where he
should have stayed.
The play spoofs contemporary items such as zoning
laws, report cards, and
elections. This would be a
unique idea—except the
Flintstones beat them to the
punch twenty years ago.
Lastly, offstage are the
recorded sounds of a
dinosaur. This is very interesting, considering dinosaurs
died out 200 million years
ago and mankind didn’t
make the scene until 10
million years ago.
Oh well, maybe it was a
small lizard in agony.
Budget proposed;varsity golf cut
The 1980-81 sports
budgets for Peninsula’s
varsity and intramural programs are currently going
through the process of
gelling a final nod from all
the governing bodies that
have to approve them.
The budgets were
scheduled to go before the
Associated Student Council
(ASC) Tuesday. They were
approved and adjusted by
the Student and Activities
Budget Committee last week
when they were presented by
the Student Sports Program
Committee and the Intramural Board.
When the ASC approves
the budgets, they will be
considered by the PC Board
of Trustees and college
president Paul Cornaby.
Dean of Students Art
Feiro says it’s possible that
the proposed budgets will be
changed by the ASC meeting, but this is unlikely and
has probably never been
done in the past.
The originally requested
amount for volleyball was
cut $201 by the budget committee. The requested
amount for tennis was cut by
$100.
Varsity golf was voted to
be dropped, due to lack of
interest and shortage of
funds.
Due to galloping inflation
the budgets were barely able
to stay within reasonable
limits.
The current proposed
budgets for varsity sports
are: tennis, $3,650; volleyball, $4,449; and basketball,
$9,071.
The proposed intramural
activities budget was cut by
$1,250 to $7,000. The
athletic scholarship fund was
reduced by $500 to $ 1,000.
Relay June 6
This year’s annual canoebike-run relay will be June 6
at Lake Crescent.
The “Lawrence Loop’’,
this year’s course, will start
at Log Cabin Lodge on the
west end of the lake. From
there the nautical member of
each team will paddle a
canoe about one half mile to
the south shore of Lyre River
cove.
There the canoist will give
the baton to the runner on
his team, who will run two
miles around the Lyre River
cove. The runner will pass
the baton to a cyclist, who
will paddle two and a half
miles to Lyn Lawrence’s lake
house on me east end ot the
lake to finish the race.
After (he race will be a
picnic at East Beach or Lyn
Lawrence’s house, depending on the weather. Spectators and friends are
welcome, provided they
bring something to the
picnic.
All those considering
getting a team together and
spending the afternoon at
Lake Crescent must have at
least one member meet with
Nancy Bell at noon June 2.
The meeting will be to
confirm the route, explain
the rules, and decide what
everyone will bring to the
picnic.
No PC tennis wins state
Peninsula’s women’s
varsity tennis team made it
back home from their state
tournament before the
volcano blew, avoiding
gelling showered with ash,
but unfortunately with no
wins.
Green River College
emerged (he winner by a
longshot, taking 86 points.
The nearest competitor was
Columbia Basin College,
who left with 32 points.
Clark and Highline were the
only teams from PC’s
division that did very well at
all, each taking six points.
Tennis coach Kathy
Murphy attributes Green
River’s success to the fact
that most of their players are
quite experienced and far
more used to tournament
play. She noted also that many of the belter teams
were coached by tennis pros.
‘‘Very tough
competition,’’ was how
Murphy summed up the
tournament.
Region two (PC’s region)
came out of the tournament
on the bottom, but “by the
time (we) got there, the
people from region two had
gotten to know each other
from playing each other all
season,” Murphy said. She
added that they played like
one team.
The Pasco tournament was
a double elimination play,
with PC’s players getting
eliminated rather early.
IM’s wind down
The intramural season for
this year is coming to a close
with some of the championships already decided.
In men’s singles table
tennis, Jim Foyston made a
very strong showing to
become the undefeated “A’’
winner. He beat “B” winner
Kent Brauninger in the final.
In two-on-two basketball,
Chris Lane and Paul Woolpert blew away Jim Foyston
and Greg Little for the title.
Scheduled for Tuesday
was the men’s doubles table
tennis championship between
the teams of Jim
Foyston/Kevin Rasler and
Kurt Betancourt/**Venezuela Eddie.” Foyston and
Rasler are 3-0 at presstime
and Betancourt and Eddie
are 2-0.
In Women’s singles table
tennis, Chom Sin and Mary
Gordon were scheduled to
play for the championship
Tuesday.
In mixed doubles table
tennis, Mary Gordon and
Kurt Betancourt were
scheduled to play Dale Smith
and Chom Sin for the honor
of playing Nancy. Bell and
Kent Brauninger. The winner
of that series will play Jim
Foyston and Cheryl Shaw for
the championship.
In softball the Bronx
Boozers led the pack with a
3-0 record. Close behind
them was Forestry, with a
2-1. The Lifers were 1-2, the
Cutthroats were 0-2, and the
Misfits were 0-1.
Ross is top IM athlete
By TIM CHAMBERLAIN
Joanne Ross—volleyball
ace, intramural addict, and
all-around sports person—has
been selected Intramural
Athlete ofthe Year.
“It’s an honor,’’ she said
sheepishly when asked how
she felt about her new special
designation. The honor was bestowed
upon her by the IM board, a
group of athletically active
students and IM director
Nancy Bell. The IM Board selected
Ross because of her good
sportsmanship, her responsibility with equipment, her
zeal in encouraging partici
pation, her helpfulness in
organizing games, and
keeping score.
Ross also participated in
intercollegiate intramural
activities both of the years
she attended Peninsula. She
competed at the IM
Olympics ’79 in California,
the Green River Invitational,
and the IM Sports Festival at
Central Washington University.
A small sampling of her
intramural activities includes
two-on-two basketball,
singles, and mixed doubles
ping pong, horseshoes, and
softball. That’s just this
quarter.
She was also up to
her ears in IM’s the last two
quarters, plus being active in
varsity volleyball.
Among her more recent
outstanding athletic feats is
one of sheer bravery and grit.
A few weeks ago she was one
of the first people to waterski
in Lake Crescent this year.
The water was a seasonably
cool 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
She justified her act of
foolhardiness by explaining
that she didn’t get a chance
to go skiing very often, so
she just had to “go for it.”
It’s that kind of attitude
that makes Joanne Ross an
athlete’s athlete, the stuff
champions are made of.
Student standout
Foreign student enjoys college
By DARLA SWEM
Melissa Sellet is from the
town of Moen in the island
country of Truk, where the
weather is warm, beaches are
sandy, and fruit trees are in
abundance.
Melissa lived in Truk until
1975 when she moved to
Palau for her high school
education.
After her junior year she
came to the United States to
finish her high school education in Ellensburg. Melissa’s
brother, sister and cousins
also went to school in
Ellensburg.
In Port Angeles she is
living with three of her
cousins; Kantheda Ham,
Telly Kristoph, and Ancher
Yesiki.
Her activities at home in
Truk include helping her
mother at home, writing
letters, and visiting her
friends.
Melissa’s mother is a
housewife and her father, a
former congressman of
Truk, is now chief of the
outer part of the island.
When Melissa was in
Truk, the girls did not play
sports except for baseball.
Here at PC she enjoys sports,
especially volleyball and ping
pong. She also wants to learn
how to play tennis.
The people of Port
Angeles and the beautiful
country are some of the
reasons Melissa enjoys life
here. She also likes American
food.
One of her favorite foods
here is peach cobbler.
Although Melissa enjoys
life at PC she also misses the
fresh oranges, bananas, and
coconuts that grew abundantly in Truk.
Melissa isn’t used to the
cold weather here, but feels
she will soon be accustomed
to it.
In 1982 Melissa plans to
graduate from PC and
possibly go back home.
