Jim Lunt Reelected President
Perminent site chosen for Peninsula College
Peninsula College will have a permanent home on a wooded 75’acre campus lying east of the Franklin School and Bonneville Power Station. The Board of Directors in School District 21 recently approved the purchase of the site and expect to start planning the construction of permanent college buildings in the near future.
The site chosen by the school officials is bounded on the south and west by the power line right-of-way, the Boulevard on the north, and the east bank of White’s Creek on the east.
Not only is the main terrain of the area good for the school site, but its closeness to the city
boundaries, as Supt. John D. Glann indicated, means easy access to water and sewer services.
There are no houses or other buildings on the tract, another advantage, as it facilitates start
of construction. Purchase of the site is the first step in what the school directors
hope will develop into a new campus for Peninsula College. In its first year of operation, Peninsula
College is already feeling “growing pains” and the need for larger and more complete facilities is
making itself apparent.
The College opened last fall with an enrollment of 218 full time students instead of the 140
estimated when the present building was planned. The capacity load of 300 students will be
reached this fall when the sophomore class enrolls. There is every
indication that an enrollment of 500 or more students can be expected in the next few years, which will require new school facilities on a permanent campus, The original long range plan was to house the junior college on the high school campus in a building that could be turned
over to the high school when needed. School officials noted that the time table they anticipated has been accelerated by several yeans. The high school enrollment will exceed 1,100 in
1964, thus requiring the present college building. Also, by 1964 the
college enrollment will have exceeded the capacity of the present building. The need for a new
site is no longer just a possibility, but an actuality. There is every indication the Peninsula College
will grow into a fine institution to serve the youth of’the Olympic Peninsula in the years ahead.
68% Votes In Major A.S.B. Election
In a close race to retain his position as A.S.B. President, Jim Lunt polled 63 votes over contending Viced Presrident George Johnson’s 54, in elections held Monday, May 14th. For the Viced Presidency, Mary Thompson, former
A.S.B. Treasurer, polled 67 votes while the opposing candidate, Beverly Guthrie, polled 50. Darlene Owen, only candidate for the office of Secretary, won with 92 votes.
Margaret Jensen, a writedn candidate, received 24.
For Treasurer the vote was 91 for Jeannie Meyer and write in candidate Georgeanne Ratzman. John Bilow was reelected Intercollegiate Commissioner by polling 81 votes as a write in candidate. Only contender for the position, John Edwards, recieved 29.
The last-minute electioneering campaign carried on for this particular office proved to be the
liveliest of the election. The official count showed that 68% of the total student body
voted in this important election.
Campaign speeches by candidates and their managers were
given at a special assembly Friday, May 11. Floyd Young, director of student activities, read the
rules regarding necessary qualifications for those running for office. In order to be eligible a student must have completed 30 credit hours by the end of the winter quarter and must have,and continue to maintain while in office, a grade point average of 2.0 or better.
Both Mr. Young and Jim Lunt, spoke on the apparent need for revision of some parts of the A.S.B. Constitution, particularly, those governing elections. They noted that at present there are no provisions for write-in candidates and nominations from the floor. These issues should be clarified. Students are urged to attend meetings of the Board of Control. Voice your views and opinions on these and other matters. Remember ,it is your Student Body.
Painting of Mayflower Presented at Assembly
At an assembly on April 24, an original oil painting of the Mayflower was presented to Peninsula College as a gift from the Daughters of the American Revolution. The painting, by Mrs. Minerva Troy, and early day pioneer who died recently, was presented by Mrs.Irwin Harper of the local chapter of the D.A.R. In accepting the gift for the college, Preisdent E.John Maier noted that the newest institution in Port Angeles was being honored by one of it’s oldest Pioneers.
A brief review was given on the progress of the plans being made for the new Peninsula College campus, with a target date of September, 1964. New sophomore courses to be added to the curriculal for the coming year were announced, as well as the list of new instructors. Discussed also were adjustments in the duties of the present faculty which will go into effect in September. Students who are now studying on scholarships awarded last spring, and who need financial help for next year, were urged to discuss this in the school office. Peninsula College is now eligible for funds under the National Educational Loan Fund Act. Summer session courses and instructors were announced. For further information, see the Summer School Schedule printed elsewhere in this issue.
Anyone interested in the Summer Golf Tournament should see John Bilow. Mr. Young mentioned that there were some part time jobs available in Port Angeles for college students; anyone‘interested should inquire at the office. George Johnson, vice president of the associated student body, explained the schedule and rules governing the coming elections and campaigns for the new Student Body Officers to be chosen for next year.
Social events announced at this time included a “Roaring Twenties” party at the YMCA on Saturday night, April 28, sponsored by the “Y” Group; another College Mixer to be held on May 11; and a Mother-Daughter Tea sponsored by the Associated Women Students, planned for May 20. Student Body officers were thanked for doing such a good job during the first year of the school’s operation.
Iranian Student at Peninsula
Though some students may not be aware of it, we have an Iranian student studying at Peninsula.
Nessa Nateghi, known to most of us as Monir, came from Iran in July of 1961 to go to college for
two years. Her parents still live in Teheran, the capital of Iran, a city with a population of twomillion. She has a brother living here who works at Fiberboard. At the present she is living with
a PA family. There are similarities and differences in the educational systems of the USA and Iran according to Monir. In Iran the girls’ and boys’ schools are separate through high school. Colleges are co – educational. The schools are public and most of the children attend. They study many of the same subjects we do, and they go through the twelfth grade. Academic courses are
stressed, with much math, science, and foreign language. There is not much choice concerning the
subjects to be taken until college level. About high school it is much the same as here. Some
marry, go to work, or go on to universities. There are quite a few universities in Iran. In order
to be admitted a stiff entrance exam must be passed. Many don’t pass it. However, they can wait a
year and try again. Iranian students enjoy many of
the same sports and activities we
do. They have tennis, skiing, volley ball, football, and others.
There are teams, and students attend the games and cheer their
favorite. Dancing is very different. The girls dance alone or in a
circle. Boys and girls never dance
together.
The first school day is Saturday. School is in session until Thursday, and Friday is the day
off. Classes are held for three hours in the morning, an hour off for lunch when all students
go home, and two hours in the afternoon. No student going to college can hold a job as there
is too much work to do. Monir moves quietly about Peninsula College. She has found
it very difficult to break the language barrier both in class and out. She had four years of
English in high school but has found that our spoken language
is very different. She is planning on attending next year if she can manage the language. Math is easiest for her because she does not have to speak a lot. Monir would like to get a job this summer as she feels it would help her communicate with people.
Women Students Hold First Tea
The Associated Women Studdents of Peninsula College held
their first annual-Mother-Daughter Tea in the Student Center on Sunday, May 20. Guests of honor were Mrs. Helen Radke, School Board President; and Mmes . Pete Barrow, Quentin Kintner, Henry Charnell, Judson Daily and John Glann. Tea was served from 2:30 to 4:30 and a short style show,was
presented at regular intervals throughout the afternoon.
Refreshments were made by the A.W.S. members themselves
in an effort to lend a personal touch to the tea. Committee chairmen under the
direction of Marianne MacPherson, AWS president and Mrs. Janice Cramp, advisor, were:
Phyllis McDonald, invitations; Darlene Owen, centerpieces; Barbara Crowel, decorations; Jackie
Jenkins, tables; Kay Priest, refreshments; Marianne MacPherson and Karen Turpin, fashion
show; Connie McLaughlin, publicity.
Brush in Hand?
“The present system of government is severely lacking in student expression. It seems to lack in initiative and does not fulfill the wants of the general student body.” “. . . I feel that there should be more general activities . . .I feel that there should be more mixers of the type held at the first of the school year, as these would inevitably bring about greater student participation, create greater interest in the student body association, and perhaps greater club interest if put on by a club.” There are “not enough students turning out for assemblies.” These and other comments are being voiced by students on our campus. The soap box is being drug out. You complain that the Board of Control has too much power. But do you attend B. of C. meetings to voice this opinion?
You complain that there aren’t enough social functions. Do you attend club meetings to make plans for more? Do you attend those which are presented ?
The answer for the majority would have to be “no” or “sometimes.” You complain about the recent elections. Not enough candidates, or you didn’t like the ones running, you said. Did you notice that three of those running were this past year’s officers, and that three offices had only one candidate? Did you ever think that you might be just as capable,or even more so, as those elected? Then why haven’t you done something about it? Picture in your mind a small handful of people, brushes in hand, at the bottom of the Empire State Building.
Their job is to wash all the windows in the building. All around them is a great crowd voicing their opinions as to how the job can be done better and quicker. Yet no one thinks to lift a hand to help. Are you in that crowd, or do you have a brush in hand?
Peninsula College Faces First-Year Challenges
On September 18, 1961, Peninsula College opened with an enrollment of 218 full-time students. We have the special claim of being the first students to attend Peninsula College, but we have also had to face numerous problems that are inevitable in the first few years of the newly founded college. As a student body we have met fromt he drafting of the original student body constitution last fall to the forthcoming election of next year’s A.S.B. Officers.
Still there remain many problems which must be over come if our school is to prosper. Too few students realize the difficulties which confront us. The solving of the Various problems depend upon the cooperation and participation of each individual member of the student body. We must understand our student goverment and school policy if we are to realize our deficiencies. This will enable us to vanquish them.
How well do we understand the significance of the washington state community college student goverment Association to which we belong? The purpose of this body is to assist in coordinating intercollegiate activities among the member student bodies and to provide an opportunity
for community college student organizations to express, and
through combined effort, solve both inner- and intra – collegiate problems. The W.S.C.C.S.G.A. is composed of the Inter-Collegiate Commissioner from each of the community colleges in the state and an
Executive Commissioner who presides over the meetings. This body meets once per quarter and has played a very important role in assisting us in our formative year.
Peninsula College will send a delegation, composed of the past and future A.S.B. officers, Associated Women Students’ presidents, and a representative from the newspaper to the Community College Leadership Conference to be held at Yakima Valley College May 18 and 19. By meeting and conferring with representatives from other colileges, our delegates will return
with invaluable information which can assist Peninsula College in becoming an institution well
equipped to serve future students. The theme this year for the C.C. L.C. is “Learn Today to Lead Tomorrow;” what could be more appropriate in the case of Peninsula College?
Peninsula College is very significant to many of us because without a college in this area many of
us would not be able to afford the opportunity for higher education.
Yet, for Peninsula College to grow into a well-rounded institution to serve the youth of the community and state, we must unite as a solid student body organization.
The staff of well-qualified faculty and administrators are planning,
each day for the future of the college. We, as members of the
A.S.B.. can assist them in preparing for the future success of the college.
The main problem with which we should be concerned is the lack of participation by student body members. The school paper, The Buccaneer, is barely sailing above water because too few students want to take time to assist those who are striving to keep it afloat. True with a journalism class, The Buccaneer would sail smoothly, But with this class unavailable at this time, it depends on power from individual students. who are willing to suppose a very worthy cause.
This lack of participation is also evident in other forms. At the last student body assembly
April 24, only 73 students were present. This is an extremely poor percentage of the 176 full-time
students ‘who are enrolled this quarter. At this meeting, presadent Maier covered next year’s
courses, faculty, Ioans, and scholarships. One hundred three students failed to attend their important meeting; this is the type of student participation which is hindering our forward progress!
Preparations are now being made for the increase of student activities for next year. A revision of The Buccaneer program will make more issues available—- if proper participation is received.
Next spring our first annual will be published and will cover the first two years of Peninsula College. Plans are materializing at this time for the maiden annual and students are urged to submit any useful photos, etc., to Lawrence Dempsey or Mr. Mooney for insertion in the annual file or The Buccaneer scrapbook for later use.
In the fall quarter, students will find much progress in social activities and A.S.B. efficiency in
addition to new club organizations. The A.W.S. plans to participate in student affairs on a much
larger scale and will require the help of all women students. This organization is for you, the women students of Peninsula College, so do your part in assisting one of our most important phases of
social leadership.
This is our college and its success depends upon we the students of the Associated Student
Body. Become an active member in student affairs and activities.
This is our student body—it depends on us!
‘Moon River’ Formal Held By the Freshman Class
“Moon River,” the Spring Formal dance sponsored by the
Freshman class of Peninsula College, attracted 47 couples to the
Masonic Temple on the evening of
April 14. The evening was highlighted by the coronation of royalty, an Italian serenade and the
popular Twist.
Port Angeles’ Centennial Queen Karen Kunkel began the program
by singing the dance’s theme song, “Moon River.” Dance chairmen Kay Brueckner and Kathy
Stovel then made corsage presentations to freshman advisor Arthur Feiro and patrons and patronesses Mr. and Mrs. William Lefauver and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Young.
The coronation of royalty followed, with three students from
Jefferson Elementary School holding the crowns. Crowned as Captain and First Lady were John Selby and Georgeanne Ratzman. Dave McNamara and Linda Belden were First Mate and Second Lady.
Students danced to the music of the Tempests, a local musical group. Decorations featured a large mural depicting a full moon shining on a quiet river. A simulated river flowed away from a fabricated boat at the head of the bandstand and gay flowers and trees added a touch of spring. During the evening Ron Woods,Mike North, Doug Van Ness,Gary Brueher and Keith Medsker played the role of a group of Italians from the Seattle World’s Fair as they serenaded the royalty with a medley of songs. Ron Woods, president of the Freshman class, later appraised the college’s second formal as a success and expressed his gratitude to the dance chairmen Kay Bruecknerer and Kathy Stovel for doing “a fine job.”
Peninsula College Women Attend Bellingham Meeting
By GEORGEANNE RATZMAN
Seven Peninsula College women students and the A.W.S. advisor, Mrs. Janice Cramp, attended the 1962
State Convention of Associated Women Students, February 16 and 17 at Western Washington State College in Bellingham. A.W.S officers from colleges throughout Washington attended this convention to discuss various aspects of the woman’s role in college and the ways that A W S can
help the women students in college. On Saturday morning, Febuary 17, Dr. Mary Watrous, an associate professor at W.W.S.C., gave an address’on “The CollegeBred Woman, a Third Dimension.” Dr. Watrous stressed the importance of keeping women in college. She said that girls come to college for intellectual stimulation, because of parent’s wishes, social influences and other pressures, to find a college man to
marry and because it’s the “thing to do.” Dr. Watrous stated that girls drop out of college either to get
married, because of poor grades, or from lack of interest or funds.
“The women set the standards of conduct that will reflect the man and sons of the house.”
From this, Dr. Watrous stressed the idea of having more social af-, fairs such as coffee hours and social dinners. She also stressed the need to encourage campus etiquette. After Dr. Watrous’ address, the
women were assigned to a number of meeting places for small discussion groups. The purpose of
these discussions was to evaluate the address on ‘The College Bred Women, a third Dimension.”
Many ideas came from these discussions and they proved valuable in determining how A.W.S. could help college women must be made to realize importance of the social graces. More mingling with Adults, either faculty members or outsiders, both at dances and coffee hours, was considered desirable. Culteral programs and faculty student tens and dinners were also ideas for improving manners.
In a later session, workshops and advisors’ meetings were held to discuss provlems and activities of colleges. These groups were arranged so that representatives from Junior College were together and four-year colleges’ representatives were together. In this way. each group could concentrate on similar problems. Among junior colleges the biggest problem was found to be the lack of interest. Especially on the part of girls. Other problems mentioned included difficulties resulting from students not living on campus, the challenge of carrying out successful advertising campaigns, the quality and attitude of students, drinking at school functions, how to get more “pep” at games, closer relationships with faculty, holding joint I functions with the men students (A.M.S.), and need to get more women interested in the A.W.S. Following a 1 o’clock luncheon and entertainment, another general assembly was held in the Viking Union. An address was given by Dr. Arthur Hicks, English professor at W.W.S.C., on “Women in Our Brave New World.” The main point Dr. Hicks brought out was the need for women to play a larger role in the world’s activities today without loss of femininity. Dr. Hicks described the brave new world as an achieved morality. At the closing of the convention the delegates voted to hold the 1963 A.W.S. Convention at Gonzaga University in Spokane. The women representing Peninsula College at the convention included President Mariane Macpherson, Vice President Georgeann Ratzman, Secretary-Treasurer Karen Turpin, B. of C. representative Jeannie Meyer, and A.W.S. members Joanne McGlenn and Mary Thomson. It is the sincere hope of these girls that more women at Peninsula College will take part in all A.W.S. activities and make it the most active organization in school. The attendance could be improved 100 per cent. A.W.S. is for all women students in the college and they are encouraged to take an active part. Many more worthwhile functions could be planned if more students would become interested.
Students Hack up Local Golf Course
Peninsula College held its first annual Duffer’s Golf Tournament at the local golf course last week. The event was a roaring success and everyone claims to have had a lot of fun and exercise beating the little white ball around the course.
Of the twenty’three students who participated, 19 had never been on a golf course before. This didn’t seem to bother anyone except the course Pro. With students running and yelling from one end of the course to the other, while hacking up his precious greens and fairway, it is reported that he just sat on the front steps of the Pro shop and pulled his hair.
As students swarmed over the course, several things happened that usually do not happen on a
golf course. Here is a partial list of what was seen and heard during the tournament: John Norris still using a tee halfway down the fairway . . . Kathy Stovel hitting the ball as Keith Medsker walked in front
of her, hitting him in the leg and then blurting, “Keith, you ruined – my shot!” . . . And it is reported
that one student was putting with a No. 1 wood! But I doubt if that is as bad as Al Brown driving
from the tee with his 8 iron . . . Sheri Solleder 1 and is in a sand trap and blasts out with her No.1 wood. . . Ted Simpson hit two balls about 1% miles into the woods on the 3rd hole . . . Gary Brueher lost his clubs—yes, the whole bag full—but the red-faced Pro found them for him and he continued playing . . . Dean Carrell set a record which will stand for quite some time; he broke two clubs in as many days. What
was that the Pro said to you, Dean? . . . Oh, and then there were the many “hand-mashies”
that were constantly sending balls flying out of the woods and rough.
Four new instructors added to College staff
President E. John Mairer announces the addition of four new instructors to the staff of Peninsula College for the school year of 1962-63. There will also be new courses of study added to the present curricula in order to take care of the large Freshman and Sophomore classes expected next fall.

Long Johns Corner
by long John
This har issue is the third an’ last fer this voyage, mates. An’
fer ye who complained that we didn’t get enough issues out, jest
ye remem’er—“A child must creep afore it lams to walk.”
In doin’ a bit o’ reminiscin’ I see that ole prof Churchley chalked
up a faculty first on April 2 with the addition of a pretty maiden
to his clan. Called her Alice Lynn, they did. Aye, and she weighed
in at 6 lbs. 2 oz., which jest goes to show ye what a good ole chem
prof’ can do with a test tube an’ a few elements. Aye there, take
heart, Sir; when she sets off her d i n n e r siren jest ye remem’er
the immortal pearls of honorable George Harmon Coxe, “This is
my baby, and I’m stuck with it.” a—har—har!
Another Freudian slip came from the Chief Head Shrinker a
while back. Seems his definition fer “adolescence” came out as “the
period between childhood and adultry.’ Aye there, profes’, yer id is
showin’, er have ye been walkin’ on banana peels lately?
Speakin’ of Freudians, the two minor head shrinkers in the
English Dept, have joined forces an’ are brandishin’ their swords at
us, mates. As Chaucer says, “Ils mient dues testes en un chaperon.’’
(They’ve put two heads in one hood). It’s sink er swim now. Every
man fer hisself! Grab yerself a yardarm an’ hang on! I see land just
off the starboard.
Aye there, ye aftguardsmen in the Bug Dept.! Remem’er what
old Cicero said, “Omne corpus mutabile est, . . . omne corpus mortale est.” (Every body is subject to change, . . . every body is mortal.) Don’t be squeamish mates, about that there ole cadaver in
Professor Feiro’s back room. Jest ye do as one aspirin’ Bug student did. She brightly inquired, “Can I see your pickled person, Sir?”
An’ I must here record fer all posterity the truly magnificent
record of Miss Mary Kay Strickland on the ole golf deck. She has
the distinguished honor of bein’ the first an’ only o’ the P.C. Pirates
to score the high total o’ 213 fer 18 holes! As one enthusiastic bystander exclaimed, “Why, congratulations Mary Kay! You’ve even
beat the boys!”
Our recent campaign assembly prompts me to leave ye with
these few grains of salt, in hopes they will season a few minds. Remem’er mates, it’s not the clothes that makes the man, and the
excusing of a fault doth make the fault worse by the excuse.
Aye, but it’s time to scuttle off now. An’ it’s with a sad heart
that I shoulders me duffie and heads up the plank, mates. Partin’
is such sweet sorrow. And sorrow it is fer I is off to far places. But,
trusting in Providence, I’ll be back on the morrow. I leave ye with
this little verse:
Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait
Measures Will Combat ‘Flunk-out’ Fever
No sooner do grades come out than, by some strange
coincidence, dozens of students realize that they do not
know how to study.
Panic sweeps the campus. “Flunkout fever” becomes
an epidemic. Combative measures need to be taken.
Immediately there are signs up
for classes dealing with “How to
Read Faster,” “How to Understand What You Read,” “How to
Interpret the English Language,”
etc., etc.
But often these classes cost
money which students would
rather spend in the pursuit of
other pleasures. Therefore, these
courses have been combined and
condensed, and are here offered
absolutely free.
- Increase your vocabulary.
Start by memorizing the dictionary. Some words come from
Greek and some words come from
Latin, and some words come from
heaven knows where. But don’t
let this stop you, for it adds spice
to the game. When you finish the
dictionary, you can start on the
encyclopedia. - Become acquainted with
your favorit.e library. Go in
Browse around. Meet your friendly librarians. Go through the reserve line for practice. Find out
where the clock is located and
where you can sit to best keep
your eye on it. Oh yes, while
there, find out where the books
are stashed. - Learn how to write essays.
The main thing to remember is to
write clearly and intelligently.
Then generously sprinkle your answers with “howevers,” “therefores,” and “inasmuches.” Where
the writing seems thin, make use
of the Greek and Latin prefixes
you have already mastered. - Those students trying for an
“A” should answer their questions in French or Spanish. (If
you use Russian fluently youmight be subject to an investigation. But use your own discretion.) - Impress your professor. This is best accomplished by occasionally showing up for class and listening to the lecture. After class you might let it slip out that you are preparing for graduate school. (If this doesn’t work, you can offer to furnish his office with wallto-wall carpeting.)
- Develop good study habits
away from campus. Just keep in
mind the fact that Drs. Kildare
and Casey got through school by
staying away from their TV sets

If all these methods fail, undoubtedly so will you.

‘Fifth Disease’
On Friday evening, April 2, Arthur Feiro’s Biology 101 and Zoology 103 classes had a rare opportunity to hear a lecture on the “fifth disease.” Taking part in the special open meeting at the high school building were four epidemiologists from the State Health Department and the U. S. Public Health Service, who are making a study of this strange new disease now prevalent here. They chose Port Angeles as a testing ground because facts of this nature are easier to track down in a smaller city. Several of the doctors have worked with some of the epidemiologists who were connected with Dr. Salk in his polio vaccine breakthrough.
The Happy Wanderers
by Lynn Clevenger
The few remaining advocates of exercise at Peninsula
College have banded together to give vent to their pleas^
ures. The eleven hearty members of Hiking Club earn their
PE credit by indulging in a strenuous and painful physical
activity (that which most Peninsula students are unfamiliar
with) WALKING!!!
The co-ed hikers not only enjoy
physical exertion, but are confronted with great mental stimuli as well, in the form of many
scenes of great natural beauty, a joy to the avid biologists in the
group, led by our enthusiastic instructor, Mr. Art Feiro. The first hike this quarter consisted of clawing our way up Storm King Mountain. The sturdy male contingent arrived at the top of the hill still bursting with energy, ready to explore the sights, while the female section collapsed to the ground and remained there, loudly gasping for breath for about tewnty minutes. However, the second hike was a different story. The girls by this time had gotten into condition and bounded on ahead to ford the North Fork of the Sol Due River, stopping only for Mr. Feiro to thumb quickly through his bird book to identify a live specimen. The hiking crew have had their ups and downs, but they still remain loyal to the cause of physical fitness. More hikes are planned, so any Peninsula College weaklings who wish to build up their stamina and muscle are welcome to join us.
Campus Chatter
Something new was added to
the snack bar at the beginning of
Spring Quarter. That smiling new
face behind the counter belongs
to George Casady.
The retaining wall just south
of the faculty parking area has
been planted in purple flowering
arbutus, and what a welcome
sight it is for winter-weary eyes!
Have you noticed the dozens of
new books that have been added
to the college library shelves
since last quarter? Quite a difference from last September
when the library was just getting started. This is a wonderful
place to study, so light, airy and
quiet. If the book you are looking for proves too elusive, helpful Mr. Mooney will come to the
rescue.
