PC students to lead party caucus

By MARK PHILLIPS
“Credit it all to Werner
Quast,” joked Sandy
Herald. 22. Peninsula
College student and local
Republican caucus leader.
She explained that in 1978. while taking Dr. Quast’s political science
class, she grew interested
in student political participation.
A while later, while
looking over the 1978
local candidates running
for her precinct committee chairman, Herald
found there was no announced Republican candidate.
“On the spur of the
moment.” she signed in
to qualify, “got my parents to vote for me in the
election, and won by
three votes.” she said.
She ran unopposed in the
election.
Why did she do it? “I
wanted to learn more
about the workings of the
system.” Herald said.
“Democrat or Republican. it (the party) was
irrelevant to me at the
time.”
She will chair the caucus at 8 p.m. at her home
and invites Republicans in
her precinct. A straw vote
will be taken to see who
caucus participants want

nominated to run for
President of the United
States.
Since she will represent
her precinct’s Republicans. she said she will
attend meetings and do
all she can to get local
party members involved
in this year’s national
election.
Presently she hopes to
be elected by her caucus
as delegate to the county
convention. As for.caucus
leader, she’ll be up for
re-election next November. but ‘I don’t think I’ll
be here to run.” she said.
She plans to move to

Seattle next year and run
for caucus leader then*.
“The competition will be
a lot rougher.” she admitted.
As she reflected backon it all. she found she
has one major concern.
“Most people can’t understand why they should
get interested in it (the
political system) except
for the obvious reasons of
who’s going to get elected.” she said.

“People don’t want toget involved in the decision making, but they’ll
bitch about what happens
in the end.”

ASC secretary-treasurer resigns

Student Council Secretary-Treasurer Ann Pazan resigned last week.
Pazan. a third-year student, said she will leave
the college after this
quarter to find full-time
work.
“I have more than
enough credits” to transfer. she said. Pazan said
she went to Peninsula two
extra quarters to take
science prerequisites
needed for her major.
The former secretary

treasurer said she will
enter the University of
Washington this fall. Her
major will be physical
therapy.
Pazan said she will
train the new secretarytreasurer.
She said students
should see Student Council President Steve Shirley
to apply for the office.
The new officer must be a
full-time student.
The loss of a treasurer
won’t delay this spring’s
1980-81 budget review,

Pazan said. “Everybody
works together” in forming the budget, she explained.
“I’ve enjoyed it,” Pazan said of her student
government office,. “I’ve
enjoyed everybody-‘ up.
here (at Peninsula). I’ll
miss the school.”
She said student council secretary – treasurer
candidates should consider applying for the
position. “It’s a great
chance to learn the
work.” Pazan added.

Musical ready to explode on stage

“We (the Peninsula
College) are not editorializing.” said director
Bonnie Graves about the
new musical production
Promotion. “It (the play)
makes a good statement
for the small property
owners. The ending is
very realistic.”
Promotion is a locally
written and produced
musical about a beautiful
valley threatened by bigtime industrialists. It will
be in the Little Theater
stage March 13 to 15.
All performances are at
7:30 p.m. Prices for students and senior citizens
are $1.50 and adults are
$2.
Produced by the Peninsula College Musical

Theater group, Promotion
was written by Trevor and
Laurel Gloor of Sequim.
It’s their first play, never
performed before.
The play echoes the
proposed Northern Tier
oilport situation, which
helped inspire the Gloors.
Although a musical, the
play has dramatic overtones mixed with the
original dance and singing numbers.
“Progress has been
good.” said Graves. She
added that the cast pulled
through the flu’s recent
and bitter attack.
In addition to being
actors, the cast also served as production team.
Rehearsals have rid the
play of any bugs it

originally had in making
the transition from script
to stage.
The group travels to
Port Townsend for a
March 22 performance
and to Forks March 29.
The Promotion cast
consists of Jim Harris,
Colleen Bailly, Jeanne
Rogers, Eldon Officer,
Karen Dorothy, John Wright, Sandy Herald, Dave
Mason. Matt Young,
Dave Bialik, Robert Carter. Joe Morgan, Shane
Harris, Andrea Minor,
Kim Maynard, Kim Harris. Ron Swickley, Hugh
Demming, Bonnie Walters. Sharon Gilleland,
Arnold Farnsworth, Barbara Doyle and Carson
Stayms.

What is the ‘Bookaneer’?

“Bookaneer” is not the
new name of the college
paper or library.
A play on the word
“Buccaneer.” it’s the
Peninsula College bookstore’s new name. Peninsula student Sue Mertz
suggested the winning
entry in a recent bookstore name contest.

Finding a bookstore
name was “important for
correspondence use,”
said former Student
Council Secretary-Treasurer and bookstore committee member Ann
Pazan.
Pazan resigned last
week from the office. She
said she withdrew from

Peninsula College to find
full-time work.
College Business Manager Frank Thayer chose
“Bookaneer.” the former
officer said.
Mertz won a t-shirt and
backpack. Pazan said 75
students entered the contest.…

Editorial
Caucuses can affect draft

Local voters will have a say in national politics Tuesday
through party caucuses.
Hopefully many people, including young adults, will take
part. The caucus is the chance to show presidential candidate
preference and voice views on the issues. It could well be the
best part of the whole political process.
Often an election can decide which candidate is the lesser
of two evils. This is as true of presidential elections as other
elections. Voters, though, have less control nominating
presidential contenders than local primary election
candidates.

The caucus process could be called the average citizen s
best chance to prevent the “lesser of two evils ballot
problem. It’s also his chance to affect party platform.
Precinct caucuses elect committed and uncommitted
delegates to spring county conventions. The convention
delegates choose representatives to the state convention.
The process winds up with the Republican National Convention in July and the Democratic National Convention in
August.
Each party has its own formula for determining committed
delegates per candidate. Caucuses may also have “straw
votes” for’ presidential candidates. These votes don t
officially count but can help or harm a candidate’s campaign
by measuring his popularity.
A committed delegate must support a particular
presidential candidate.
Political caucuses do more though, than choose delegates.
Caucus participants discuss and vote on resolutions on any
issue. These resolutions also go to the county conventions
and possibly to the state and national conventions. They’re
the first part of building the party platform.
Issues could be the economy, the barge service, or the
draft. Resolutions can be of local, state, or national interest.
Candidates and issues affect everyone, regardless of his
age or beliefs. The Buccaneer encourages Peninsula college
students and staff to take part in their caucuses.
Participants must be registered voters. All caucuses begin
at 8 p.m. Tuesday. A list of caucuses and their locations is
posted on campus. The county auditor’s office, at 452-7831,
has more information.
With world events changing fast, this election year is a
very important one. Caucuses are the average person’s
chance to affect future government policy.

Look at the Artists
“Cruising” is anti-homosexual

By NORMA SONNIER
Al Pacino is a ™ultitalented actor_ whose
choice of role in his latest
movie Cruising,
brought him harsh
icism. , . _
Cruising is about a
.young cop who instates
the gay community, pos
ing as a homosexua to
catch a deranged student
who murders and sexually
mutiliates gay men.
When the movie was
released at the Neptune
Theatre in Seattle, members of Seattle’s gay community picketed the release with hand-paintea
signs saying “This Movie
is Stupid” and “Gay Love
Not Murder.”
The movie is classified
by gays and others as
anti – homosexual, and
they do have reason for
doing so.
Most gays want to be
considered part of the
community. but their
chance of that is hindered
by the movie showing the
masochistic side of the
gay lifestyle. Gays as a
general rule don t piactice sadism and masochism which is what the
movie projects and is

what the gays are protesting-against.
The majority of the gay
community in Seattle and
everywhere else feel Pacino’s movie might encourage violence against
and among homosexuals.
The movie has been
banned in certain states.
Pacino chose the role
but the bad reviews and
harsh criticism of the
movie content may or may
not put stress upon his
career. The criticism isn’t
necessarily pointed directly at him but at the gay
lifestyle he portrays.
Pacino does show the
human situation in reality. but the movie has
stereotyped homosexuals
as sadist which is not
true?
Although the film is
produced well and Pacino
fans are flocking to the
ticket offices, I do sympathize with the gay community and how they feel.
Al Pacino’s portrayal is
extremely misleading and
demeaning to gays and
the human race in general.

Congress stalls draft

President Carter’s draft registration plan could be in
serious trouble, at least temporarily. Congress is stalling on
financing it.
A House Appropriations subcommittee refused last week
to okay money needed for registration of 19 and 20-year
olds, the Associated Press reported. The subcommittee was
tied 6-6 in its vote on the bill. The wire story said the
deadlock could temporarily “block the funds.”
The subcommittee instead approved only enough money
to set up an emergency registration system. Under that
system registration could not start until the President called
for the military in an emergency. .
Women’s registration is facing an even harder time getting
funds from Congress. The House subcommittee refused to
consider okaying money for women registration. In fact, it
assigned money for that elsewhere before discussing the
bill, the Associated Press reported.
The legislative mood reflects that of the American people.
This country is evenly divided on registration. A recent
Buccaneer poll showed of 176 Peninsula College students
surveyed, 44 per cent opposed the draft, 31 per cent favored
it, and 25 per cent were undecided.
Also 1980 is an election year. House representatives may
postpone financing registration until they become more
certain of voters’ feelings towards it.
Meanwhile, the mood towards draft registration is
becoming less predictable.

Pete’s Pal
Parks Likes campus

By TIM CHAMBERLAIN
Wendy Parks is a
friendly, free speaking
pre-architecture student
that likes competitive
sports.
She’s in intramural basketball; and one-on-one,
plus womens singles badminton.
Last year she was also
in softball intramurals
and womens’ varsity tennis, but not this year,
because she’s graduating
with an Associate of Arts
degree in the pre-architecture program at the
end of this quarter.
In high school, Parks
played girls varsity basketball, soccer, softball
and tennis.
She even likes the oddball Pete’s Week sports
activities like the eggtoss, wagon race, and the
three-legged basketball.
She was on the winning
team with Karen Hopkins, Steve Edenshaw,
Mark Johnson.
Parks also likes to work

with kids. She enjoyed
coaching a sixth-grade
level team through the
YMCA for a few months
this winter.
After she graduates
this quarter, she will be
working at Sunny Farms
fruit stand till about halfway through this summer.
After that she’s going
back home to New Jersey
and will probably visit

some friends in North
Carolina. She will possibly even drive to Florida.
Parks moved here two
years ago from Montana,
where sh’e went to MSU.
Asked about PC. she
says, ‘T like it here very
much. I like the architecture and buildings.”
She adds, “There’s so
much space here, out
west.”

The high point of her
athletic career at PC was
last year when she and
Cheryl Shaw qualified for
state finals in tennis
doubles. They didn’t win
but, she says, ‘‘We played well.”
Another high point was
this year at the co-ed
volleyball tournament at
Green River. Her team
took first place.

Lifers undefeated intramural champ

The Lifers have proven
supremacy in intramural
basketball with their season’s final 47-45 victory
over the High Fliers.
They finished the season
undefeated with eight
wins.
If the Lifers had lost,
the season would have
ended in a three way tie
between the Lifers, the
Stealers, and the High
Fliers.
Kevin Rasler, of the
second place Stealers
said, “It was just that
close, they just managed
to get both of them,
referring to the Lifer’s
victories over his team
and the High Fliers.
J.R. Burwell, of the
High Fliers said, ‘‘We
really played good we just
didn’t score enough
Points.” The High Fliers
finished third, with one
loss given to them by the
Stealers and one by the
Lifers.
The winning team’s
members are Steve Wasnock, Rob Knudsen, Kevm Garling, Greg Little,
Kelly French and Captain

Jim Foynsion.
Foynston complimented
the High Fliers for the
excellent game. “It was
real close all the way
through.” he said. “We’d
get ahead and they would
keep catching up.”
“Dale Smith played a
real good game (for the
High Fliers) and Greg
Little shot really well for
us, but it was the team
effort that won it.”
At one point towards
the end of the game the
High Fliers were ahead
41-40. but they eouldn t
keep their lead.
Dave Klock and Kent
Brauninger refereed the game. According to Foynston. “They did a real good job.”
Foynston played varsity basketball for the Pirates in 1977. He has one year of eligibility left but says, “I dont think I’ll use it.” He says this is his last year for the Lifers because most of them are “getting paroled” and going to other schools.

Mid-Managment leader quits

Mid-Management Club
President Debbie Camfield cited personal reasons for her resignation at
the club’s Feb. 22 meeting.
Camfield added that
she will stay on as a club
member.
The club has yet to

decide whether to elect a
new president for 1980 or
continue with Vice President Mark Mykleburg.
Mid – Management
members also voted to
allow only two scholarships possible for anyone
in or entering mid-management. Formerly three

scholarships had been .
possible. A lack of money
was the explanation given
for the cut.
Steve Snyder, Peninsula College accounting
instructor, spoke to the
club on fighting inflation
and how to invest money
wisely

Snyder advised students to get out of apartments and invest in personal land property. Land
value is going up all the
time, he said.
Snyder also said job
opportunities in accounting and bookkeeping are
on the increase in Port

Angeles. A two-year degree is required for the
positions available, he
said.
He said four-year graduates in public accounting
were being well received
in Seattle. Snyder sees a
demand for accountants
increasing for another five or six years.

Tidepools needs contributions

Tidepools, Peninsula
College’s literary magazine. needs more contributors, said Dr. Fred
Thompson, Tidepools advisor.
The magazine publishes poems, short fiction,
essays, black ink drawings and photography.
Submissions go to Jack
Estes, English teacher, or
Thompson in the Administration building.
Material deadline is Mar.
14.
“We especially urge
students not active in
workshops to come forth
and identify themselves
by submitting work to
Tidepools,”- Thompson
said.

“Tidepools will be published in May if enough
quality work is available,” he continued. “We
want a publication we can
be proud of and that
represents high achievement.”
The publication offers
artists exposure throughout the Peninsula. Sale
proceeds help to cover
publishing costs.
Writings should be
typed in as final form as
possible.

Students busy with papers

People usually associate March with the begin-.
ning of spring and warm
weather, but Peninsula
College students associate
the month with term
papers.
English 102 students
were frantically rushing
with last minute reading
and note taking last week.
The library was filled
with students looking

through the card catalogue. periodicals, and
the bookshelves with help
from already busy librarians.
Last minute tips on end
notes and bibliographies
were requested of the
English department.
When asked how their
term papers were coming
along, students said ”I

wish I hadn’t waited so
long, “Really bad.” and
”1’11 never gel it done in
lime.”
The 102 English composition class is structured
mainly to prepare students for university term
paper writing, but according to PC students, the
class is just plain hard
work.

Lockers come

Lockers will be
ready for spring
quarter if there are
no further delays,
according to Student
Activities Director
Jim Lunt. Rental will
be $3 for small lockers and $5 for large.

Student Standout
Reed has led a varied life

By NORMA SONNIER
Reed Pike is a Peninsula College freshman
who throughout his 26
years of life appears to
have strived to accomplish a high set of goals.
He grew up in California and lived most of
his life in San Mateo,
Calif., until he moved to
the Peninsula a year and
a half ago.
He graduated from
Hillsdale High School in
San Mateo. He went to
work for Rolling Stone
Magazine as an assistant
photographer.
Reed moved to Los
Angeles to work for Warner Brothers Records as a
rock star photographer.
He was the photographer on the Rod Stewart

Faces tour and has photographed such other famous rock-and-roll stars as
the Rolling Stones, Jethro

Tull, and Jackson Brown.
When asked how he liked
the job, he said, “long
hours, low pay. and
strange people.”
In May 1974. he was
inducted into the U.S.
Navy in San Francisco
and worked as a free
lance photographer. He
served 28 months of
active duty until 1976 and
is still in inactive reserves
until May 1980.
Reed is a bicycle enthusiast and after his
Navy duty he managed a
bike shop in San Diego for
a year. His only form of
transportation now is a
bicycle.
He also worked for
Stanford University as a
photographer of structural
biology until 1978.
Reed didn’t care for the

lifestyle of California so
he moved to Port Angeles. He likes P.A. and
said “it’s the first place
I’ve lived with less than
two million people.”
This is Reed’s first year
at PC. He said he likes
getting into college life
and students’ activities.
He was also the Pirate
basketball announcer this
season.
He hasn’t decided
about his major, but is
thinking about a liberal
arts of law degree. He
plans to attend Stanford
University.
He is now trying to
fulfill transfer requirements at PC with a 20
credit load. Reed has a
4.0 grade point average.
He feels this college
offers a unique learning

experience due to the
student-teacher ratio, he
said.
“Dr. Fisch. Mrs. Spillane, Dr. Quast, and Mr.
Estes all have gone out of
their way to help me as an
individual,” said Reed.
Last quarter he worked
at Angeles Bike Shop and
will also be working there
spring quarter. He’s on
vacation during the winter
months due to the lack of
bicycle business.
Reed said he is quite
interested in bicycling,
photography, and drama.
He is also willing to help
students who need help
maintaining bicycles or’
need some information
about buying one.
