For Winter Quarter:Course Additions and Changes outlined
The number and variety of
courses offered by a community
college is definitely limited by
the size of the faculty. Instructors are almost totally limited
to teaching the basics, such as
English 101, psychology and
sociology 101, etc. Winter
quarter, although, will see one
new course added and some
changes in others. These new
courses and changes are
brought about by the Instructional Council of Peninsula College.
The board consists of the
heads of the various departments and chairmaned by Mr.
Young. This council decides
which courses can and should
be added to the list of classes
available. They also analyze
present courses and decide
what changes should be made.
Winter quarter should prove
to be very enlightening to those
interested in psychology. The
regular psychology classes will
be offered along with Psychology 60 and 100. Psychology 60
will be taught by Mr. Duncan
and he plans to instruct the
class with guidance and counseling for those men and women who are pressed with the
problem of what to do as far as
occupations are concerned.
There are many interesting and
helpful tests in this area and
Mr. Duncan plans to incorporate
these into the course. He also
plans some group counseling
and hopes to provide the individuals with self-insight as far
as their strengths and weaknesses are involved. An emphasis will be put on a survey
of the world of work and all
types of careers. So Psych. 60
should certainly help those who
are wondering about what to do
by showing them more about
themselves and the world of
work and helping them to put
the two together in making a
career choice.
Psychology 100 will use the
same text as last year and will
delve into the problems of college growth and development
from a psychological standpoint. It will also probe into
different types of adjustment
programs.
In the business field the main
course change will be that of
separating secretarial practice
and shorthand. The secretarial
practice course will be a threecredit course of training in office practices and a special unit
on filing. No shorthand experience will be required, but a
student should have at least one
year of typing and most of all
an interest in the course.
The only totally new course
that will be added winter quarter is in the humanities field.
This new class will be an introduction to mass communications and will be taught by Mr.
Daheim. It will be a threecredit, transferrable course for
those majoring in journalism or
for just an elective. The course
will study the process of communications and how it differs
in a mass situation. Also included will be an analysis of each of
the mass media: radio, television, motion pictures, newspapers, and magazines. Mr.
Daheim plans to have a representative from each of these
media as guest speakers and
will supplement the course with
films. The main object of the
course will be to study the effects and problems mass media
creates with respect to the society. This should be a very
helpful course, also, for those
interested.
The sciences have not had
course changes planned and
will remain just about the same.
A night course in marine biology will be added. This will
be a credited course, but anybody who is interested is invited to take it. The rest of the
courses will be a continuance
of the present basis.
Although only one new
course has been added for this
winter quarter at Peninsula College, the quarter should be very
interesting due to some excellent
changes made by our Instructional Council.
Dramatics on the Rise
Since moving to its present location in March of 1965, Peninsula College has all but ignored its Drama Department. Several
plays have been presented with meager funds and publicity, and
reading of Moliere’s The Misanthrope was given at the Port Angeles library. The following fall, Oscar Wilde’s comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest, was given two performances in our
college library. Last spring in the Port Angeles high school auditorium, three plays were given two performances. These were
The Troian Women by Euripides, The Sandbox by Edward Albee,
and a one-act play by last year’s drama instructor, John Kearns.
This school year offers the first opportunity to make use of
Peninsula’s Little Theatre building. The Drama Department, under
the direction of Miss Avalon, is currently working on two one-act
plays to be presented shortly becore Christmas vacation. The
plays, both contemporary, are A Fabulous Tale, and The Sound
of Apples.
It is hoped that the success of these plays, combined with the
improved facilities, will promote greater interest and support in
dramatics. Whether the famous apathy which pervades this
campus will win out remains to be felt.
A Fabulous Tale catches the spirit of Christmas. It contains
enough humor to save it from sentimentaity, and honesty to keep
it from being reduced to a mere message. The setting is in the
lower depths of a city, and among its characters are a Salvation
Army officer, and a blind old beggar who claims to be a Buddhist.
The Sound of Apples is a verse play, and while not related to
Christmas, does gain something of its warmth and flavor. It is
longer than the other play, and will be done as a reading. Time
does not allow it to be acted out although that was the original
intention. The players, however, will be in costume. The play’s
hero is John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed. It
serves up a backwoods trial,
and a humorous display of
stump justice.
The two productions will be
on the nights of November 30
and December 2. Admission
for Peninsula College students
is fifty cents with a student card.
To make more money, a matinee performance may follow
on December 3 for the junior
high and grade school students.
Before the holidays a cast will
be chosen for next quarter’s production, Look Homeward Angel.
This play ought to be the drama
department’s biggest venture so
far.

Basketball Rally Set For December 1 By PC Pep Squad
The Peninsula College Pirate
Pep Squad announced that it
will hold its first basketball pep
rally in the Little Theatre on
December 1 at noon. The
Pirates host the Olympic College Rangers that evening at
8 o’clock.
Instigators of the rally are
Pep Promotors Bill Stewart and
Georgia Nicholson. Stewart reports that the cheerleaders —
Shirli Rowe, Bev Snead, Donna
Reed, Harriet Coventon and
Linda Franklin—along with the
basketball team and head
coach Don Knowles will be introduced at that time.
Council Studying Opportunities for Vocations at PC
The Instructional Council of
Peninsula College, comprised
of Mr. Maier, President; Mr.
Young, Registrar; Mr. Duncan,
Director of Guidance and Counseling; and the heads of departments, is studying the vocational-occupational opportunities available in order to expand the present programs and
more adequately fulfill the duties of the community college.
The community college has
three major functions in education. One is to provide a transfer program for those students
wishing to continue their education at a 4-year college or university; another is to provide
vocational-occupational courses
for the employment-minded student; and finally to make programs available for adult education.
The provision of the occupational-vocational area is one
that is difficult and expensive.
It takes more equipment and facilities than the average academic course does. Public and
parental pressure on the potential students also presents a
serious problem for these programs. There is a prevalent attitude that th© vocational aspects of college are not worthy
fields for study. Consequently
people are not rushing to sign
up for these courses. Such a
position placing great emphasis
on the academic programs in a
community college is a very
misleading one. Actually less
than 40 per cent of the total
enrollees in the majority of
community colleges take advantage of the transfer programs offered.
Presently at Peninsula there
are four major vocational technical programs: Fisheries Technology, Practical Nursing, Secretarial Sciences, and Engineering.
Freshman Class Sponsors Dance November 23
Peninsula College’s freshman
class will sponsor a pre-Thanksgiving vacation dance in the
P.U.B. on the evening of November 23.
Mike McSherry, freshman
vice-president and chairman of
the ”everybody welcome” function, reports that music will be
provided by the Pied Pipers who
play out of Bellevue, Washington. The group was contacted
with the aid of Pat O’Day, popular disc jockey of KJR in Seattle.
It will commence at 9 p.m. and
conclude at midnight.
Presidents Board
DR. WERNER C. QUAST, President, Peninsula College Faculty Association.
“Thanksgiving” is the expression of gratitude, and act of giving thanks to God. This is
the definition given in the dictionary. The first Thanksgiving celebration took place in 1621
when the settlers of the Plymouth colony gave thanks to God for a good harvest after a year
of struggle and privation. Since 1863 Thanksgiving Day has been recommended by Presidents as a national holiday.
For us at Peninsula College, this year’s Thanksgiving is the first one celebrated on the
completed new campus. It is an occasion for us to reflect for a moment and give our thanks
to the many persons who helped to make this campus a reality. Our gratitude goes to those
who were foresighted and spearheaded the idea of a local community college, to those who
supported this idea and agreed to pay their share of the cost, to those who donated time,
labor, material, but most of all good will to the undertaking. It became a truly communal
project and, perhaps because of that it has established itself as a fine institution of learning.
Let us not forget to express our thanks for the most important benefit we are receiving,
namely to live in a society that values the pursuit of knowledge and the rights of the individual. Let us do our share to keep it that way—a moment of thanks and reflection will spur us
to greater efforts in creating a better society.
MR. E. JOHN MAIER, Peninsula College President.
Now that the elections are over the community colleges are awaiting the action of the
Washington State Legislature. The struggle for control of the twenty-two community colleges in the state will be intensified during the session.
The question to be decided is shall the colleges remain under the control of the local
school districts and the State Board of Education or shall separate college districts be set up
throughout the state with a Board of Trustees for each college district and a separate State
Board for Community Colleges.
The 1965 legislature directed that the State Superintendent of Public Instruction make a
study concerning this separation. The study was conducted by the A. D. Little Company. It
recommended that the state be divided into twenty college districts and that each college have
a Board of Trustees. Peninsula College would be in District No. 1 which encompasses Clallam
and Jefferson counties. The Peninsula College day-time enrollment shows that 48% of the
students come from the parent School District No. 21; 13.1% from the remainder of Clallam
County and 7.2% from Jefferson County, or a total of 68.3% of the enrollment from the two
counties.
The legislative session should be an interesting one for the community colleges as it will
deal with the control of the colleges, finances, and also the “open door” phase—that is_ will
there be adequate funds so that all the applicants will be able to be accommodated in some
college or other.
I Disagree with [Censored!]
By Robert Ludke
A funny tiling happened recently while the majority of the
viewing audience at a small theatre in Blaine, Washington, were
going to the refreshment stand or head or wherever they go during
intermission. In came the cops and copped the film off the projector. It seems some of the upstanding citizens around the theatre
objected to the showing of the film, “The Unsatisfieds,” and protested to the local police, who in turn look said action. The
proprietors of the small theatre are now in turn announcing their
intentions to sue for a half-million dollars. Who’s to say they
shouldn’t get it? Many observers are watching the Blaine incident
with keen interest where they hope a new genesis of censorship
rulings will be commenced. I, for one, am part of the small group
of observers who favor such action.
Examine for d moment the theory behind censorship, or what
censorship represents. Censorship is two things: (1) an attempt
by a minority group to impose it’s views on the majority; and (2)
an attempt to limit the scope of education. In addition, it attempts
to muzzle some means of expression, either written or expressed.
One question to be considered is whether the basic concept of
censorship is unconstitutional.
Censorship is particularly important to young adults since
they are the group who are being “protected.” Protected from what?
Life? Diverse points of view? Extreme expressions? Still another
question to be asked is who’s asking the effort? Should young
people be subjected to only one view of life, the clean and moral
life, or should they be able to review all types of expression and
then draw their own conclusions and opinions? This is part of the
controversy over censorship.
Young people are most concerned with censorship in three
areas of expression—books, records, and movies. I personally
don’t want anybody else determining what I should read, listen
to, and see. I’ll read, listen, or watch and then decide for myself
what is worthwhile and what is not. A definite stand on censorship as a whole revolves around what you want: protection or
independent free thought?
Paradox. Paradox. Paradox. Where do you start? If your
point of view is to adhere to contemporary rulings, how would you
justify the following? Books like The Catcher in the Rye, and Lady
Chatterley’s Lover were banned but yet there is no objection to the
collective reception of The Naked Lunch. Songs like Gloria, Louie
Louie and Death of an Angel should be banned but yet you can
walk downtown and buy The Fugs. And then there is a limitless
number of films which are restricted to only a certain age group.
The argument is that younger people, if subjected to such things,
might do something drastic once they get out of the show. But,
there is always the qualification—”Those over 18 OR accompanied
by a parent.” This shoots that argument down. What difference
does it make if the kid sees it with a parent or not? He’s still
going to see it. The argument must then follow that the kid has
to have his parent with him because he may go berserk during
the showl
Many of the things associated with censorship are really not
so much a case of morality as they are of taste. If you want to
read, listen, or watch some questionable expression, why shouldn’t
you be able to do so? If you don’t want to, that’s fine. Censorship should rest mainly in the family group and the individual.
William Henley once said: “I am the captain of my soul, the
master of my fate.” In other words, every person has his own
separate life to live and he has the power to shape it as he will.
Shouldn’t a person then be able to, on an individual level, decide
just exactly what he or she wants to read, listen to, or watch?
YOU are the captain of your own soul, and YOU are the master
of your own fate. Life is too short to have so (censored) many
restrictions!
What Were You Doing on Nov.22, 1963?
By Dave Starnes
Some Dark years from now, our children and our children’s children will want to know what we were doing the day of November 22, 1963. Unless we have forgotten by then, that day for us- our coming out of a theater, our riding in a car, or a vigil by the radio- will seem to them as singular and bizarre as tragedy itself. (I was less impressed by my parents’ memory of the dayPearl Harbor was bombed, than the fact that they recieved the news in a soda fountain.) But if our children are lucky enough to be children, they will ask a better question: Why? Why did the bad man shoot John F. Kennedy? No matter how quick or vivid our memory, this will pin us ignorant against a wall of facts.
When word of Kennedy’s death was sprung upon me, I experienced something that James Agee wrote of: “that strange wavering, uncontrollable smile
with which some people, to their
astonishment and shame, react
to news of catastrophe.” My
smile was bigger than death,
and I could not wipe it off with
guilt, nor write it off as shock.
It lasted only a few seconds before the sickness came. And
the realization that assassination was no longer a thing of
the American past, no longer
limited to foreign powers and
fanatics. Il was suddenly as
dirty and real as everyday murder, only much louder and
more unacceptable.
Kennedy memorabilia goes
on today at every level, along
with the Beatles and Jesus. Kennedy sells, like Christ sells, like
the Beatles sell. He is already
as immortal as Lincoln. But if
we make him a saint, we must
make angels of eight student
nurses slain in Chicago, and
consecrate a beauty school in
Mesa, Arizona. Whose is the
greatest crime: the strangler,
the sniper, the psychotic, or the
presidential assassin?
Like the ghost of Hamlet’s
father, John F. Kennedy has become the supreme, and, if possible, the best-loved example of
murder most foul. It is being
avenged bang after bang by
the everyday murder, not to
mention the everyday war.
Possible Result of Population Explosion In 2067?
By LINDA LATVALA
“The People Trap” was presented by ABC’s Stage 67 on
Wednesday, November 9. This
show, produced by Earl Hamner, Jr., and directed by William
Graham, was based on a short
story by Rebert Sheckley. It is
a fantastic story taking place in
the year 2067 when the population of the United States has
reached the incredible number
of one billion people. The world
is too crowded for automobiles,
to crowded to grow food, too
crowded for privacy, and too
crowded for any more people.
The story centers around attractive Steve and Adele Baxter who are applying for a license … a license to have a
baby. After a computer examines them, they are refused permission. But Adele is already
pregnant. And, there is a penalty for unlicensed pregnancies:
(1) a five-year prison term for
both parents; (2) forfeiture of the
child, who is then put in deep
freeze until the time comes
when there is room for him.
The future of Steve and Adele
seems inevitable but there is
one hope: the last twenty acres
of land left is being given away
in a land run. An acre for each
of the first twenty winners of
the race which is being run
from the suburbs of New York
City to Times Square. Most of
the many contestants are forced
to sign their acres over to the
black market king, Steinmetz.
Steve Baxter is one of the few
who refuse to sign. He needs
the land so he can keep his
baby.
The race is begun. Steve has
a slight advantage because of
a New York City map a friend
has given him. But he has a
greater disadvantage: he has
been marked for death by Steinmetz, who has sent two professionals to murder him.
During the course oi the race
Steve is constantly pursued by
these men. He finally gets into
a fight and is saved by the
beautiful Flame Steinmetz,
daughter of the black market
king. In the end, Flame helps
Steve back into the race to win
the last acre.
Steve and Adele are seen on
their acre and as they embrace,
the scene switches to a high
wire fence where thousands of
people are crowding and clawing to get in.
The most terrifying point of
the whole show was the shocking climax. It starts you thinking about the disastrous effects
of the population explosion. I
feel that the whole show raises
questions about the rapidly accelerating population of the
world. It does this in such a
way as to put a scare into you.
This is why the show was good.
The quick jolt into a reality that
not to see blue sky because of
the smog? Or to be on a waiting list to gel on a waiting list
to get into a hospital? Or to be
told whether or not you can
bear children?
These are all shocking questions that can become a reality.
They cannot be ignored. And
the most terrifying thing about
these questions is that some of
them have already been answered. The smog in Los Angeles and New York City has
almost eliminated sight of a
blue sky. Many lakes and
streams are so polluted all the
water life has been poisoned.
Huge traffic jams around our
bigger cities may result in automobiles being outlawed some
day.
Right now, the population of
the world is rapidly expanding.
The reality of this and its possible effects has been brought
to light by “The People Trap.”

Sport-Scope: Total Assault on T.H.E. Cat
By Robert Ludke
The Rev. Muhammad Ali, masquerading as the heavyweight
bo’ung champion of the world, stepped down from his Muslim
pulpit just long enough last week to destroy challenger Cleveland
Williams in Houston’s Astrodome. The total annihilation was not
the result of the power of prayer, rather it was the result of Williams’ error to dare.
The swashbuckling minister from Louisville recently claimed
the right to such title when his local draft board let him know in
no uncertain terms that Uncle Sam really did want him after all,
after previously classifying him 1-Y for failing his mental test on
two occasions. The Kentucky pastor has also made it abundantly
clear that he doesn t want ‘ol Sam anyway, and thus faces the
possibility of a fine or jail sentence or both in the near future.
Williams, Texas’ unsuccessful walking stitch, was blasted
into submission for the second time in less than two years when
he challenged Rev. Ali. The first blasting came on a deserted
Houston sideroad two years ago when Williams and a highway
patrolman had a small altercation and the latter sprayed the
former with a shotgun. Today Williams is literally sewed down
the middle from the waist up and on the insides of both arms.
Not to be outdone by the religious antics of Ali, Williams up
and got religion himself. After he was miraculously put back in
one piece, he announced that he was going down the ‘ol straight
‘n narrow, of which religion was a part, and capped the whole new
image by marrying a Houston minister’s daughter. And as if that
wasn’t enough, he gave the dead-eye cop a couple of free tickets
to see him get blasted out again!
The ”Cat,” as he is affectionately known to his followers, the
amount of which must have been reduced considerably after his
poor showing in front of his hometown fans, was anything but
quick and strong. When confronted by his religious peer, he was
sluggish and ineffective. He landed no telling blows on the
champion, and failed to even scratch his beautiful face. Many
people felt before the fight that the thirty-three-year-old challenger
had a better chance against the two-barrelled shotgun than against
the two-fisted twenty-four-year-old escape artist from Kentucky.
Apparently not impressed with Williams’ fifty-one knock-outs,
Ali opened up in the first round and had the “Cat” bleeding from
the nose after the first three minutes. In the second round, the
minister opened a cut on the side of the convert’s mouth and proceeded to deck him three times before the second bell. The third
round started as the second had ended, with the ”Cat” on his back
for the fourth time, and ended as it had started two years
previously, with Williams shot down and out. With Williams fell
two long-standing myths—all cats don’t have nine lives, and cats
don’t always fall on their feet.
After the fiasco, Ernie Terrell, the champion according to the
World Boxing Association, had the audacity to jump in the ring
and point a finger in the real champion’s face and scream a
challenge then and there. Naturally a man of the cloth had to
decline such a proposition. Terrell will get his match on February
6 of next year and he may be sorry he ever brought it up in the
first place.
Anyhow, I think Williams now realizes that ministers come to
preach not to listen. Rev. Ali dished out a pretty fair sermon
and the entire crowd of 49,000 plus watched enthralled. One
thing for sure—the “Cat” got the message.
PiratesPrep for Opener with OJC Player-by Player Review
By DON FREY
With the opening of the 1966-
67 basketball season slated to
begin in just over one week,
head coach Don Knowles is
busy preparing his charges to
face the heavy hoop schedule,
starling with the Olympic Junior College quintet.
The Pirate squad has been
trimmed to 14. Art Bell, sophomore from Port Angeles, has
been out with an ankle injury
and will not see action for several weeks.
Bruce Shamp, another sophomore from Port Angeles, was
out several days with an ankle
injury but has returned to practice.
Last year, the Pirates opened
against Olympic in a nonleague clash and posted their
first victory of the season. This
year Olympic shows to be
stronger and more experienced
and will give the shorter Peninsula Pirates a good dunking into the new season.
The first contest with O.J.C.
will be at home for Port Angeles but the fray on the following night will be in Bremerton, with both games beginning
at 8 p.m.
The 14 members on the hoopshoot team have been working
out almost every night up to
and sometimes more than, three
hours. The boys come in between 3 and 3:30 and shoot
baskets during this “free” period until 3:45. Then comes calisthenics and warm up exercises before the actual practice
session begins.
Let’s take a closer look at
some of these students who devdte so much time to the game.
TOM LYONS. Tom is a second year man for Peninsula.
He plays the guard position as
he did for Blanchet (Seattle) in
high school. At Peninsula, Tom
is majoring in English with
plans to transfer to Central
Washington State College. As
al freshman, Tom scored 284
points with a 10.9 points per
game average.
DAVE HEMION. Dave comes
to Peninsula from Lakes, Tacoma, where he played both
forward and guard. In track,
Dave holds the high school
track high jump record at 6
feet 3 inches. Dave’s major is
physical education but he is
uncertain as to where he will
continue his education next
year.
NORM CARSON. Norm, an
Education major, is returning to
hoop action with Peninsula, and
is planning to attend Western
Washington. Last season he
played as both a forward and
center. Coach Knowles has
been happy with the way Norm
has been working out.
ED DALING, freshman, comes
from Waterville where he worked from the guard position and
helped to lead his team to a
seventh place ranking in state
class B competition. Ed was
the inspirational award winner
in his last season of basketball.
He also was captain of the
football team and president of
the student body. Ed is a physical education major.
KEN CESAR. Ken hails from
Juneau, Alaska. As a senior he
was voted the most inspirational player on his team. Ken is
a fisheries major and plans to
attend the University of Washington after completing his program here.
BILL WEINMAN, the 6 foot 5
Mnch freshman from Lakes, Tacoma, is majoring in science
and has intentions to attend
Washington State University after graduation here. Commenting on what he thought of the
school, Bill stated he was impressed with the concern the
teaphers show for the individual.
SCOTT SWISHER. Many peouple remember Scott from his
high school days in Shelton,
where he lettered in football,
basketball and baseball. Scott
was selected to the second
team all-league during his basketball career. His major is
physical education.
BRUCE SHAMP. Bruce is a
returnee from last year’s Pirate
squad when he tallied 293
points with a 17.2 points per
game average. Bruce set many
standards for the Black and
Gold and didn’t play in all the
games. He was selected to the
Western Division all-star team.
His major is education.
GREG MASON, the other
tall” man on the roster, comes
to Peninsula from Redmond.
The 6 foot 5 inch center hopes
to be able to continue his education here next year, majoring
I in architectural engineering.
J AL STAUTZ was a Bremer-
® ton center last season but will
probably move to a forward
position. After completing his
education here, he wants to go
to either Seattle Pacific or the
University of Puget Sound. As
a Black Knight, Al was voted
the most improved player during East’s 19-3 season.
JERRY SILVES, at 6 foot 3
inches, is turning out at the forward position, as he did in high
school at Nooksack Valley.
Jerry hopes to come back to
Peninsula to continue his education as a physical education
major.
ART BELL, the 6 foot 1 inch
Austler” from Port Angeles is
one of the four members of last
year’s team to return this season. Art is starting out the
season with a bad leg and his
experience will be missed during the first few games. Art
hopes to major in physical education.
Team 3 Passes Way to Title
By DON FREY
The intramural flag football
campaign came to a close as
team three put together a winning pass combination to post
a decisive 30-14 victory over the
runnerup team two in the championship finals.
Led by the accurate passing
of quarterback Butch Ludke,
team three took the lead in the
first quarter and built steadily
on the early advantage throughout the remainder of the contest. All points scored for the
champions came through the
air.
Ludke, leading passer in the
loop, tossed five scoring strikes
during the championship game.
John Ogliaro was on the receiving end of two aerials while
Steve Bennett, Bill Thompson,
and Jerry Moe caught the remaining three. The eventual
clincher v/as a Ludke to Bennett
pass from fifteen yards out.
Final Football Won-Lost
Standings
TEAM 3……………. 4 1
TEAM 2 ……………. 4 2
TEAM 4 ……………. 2 3
TEAM 1 ……………. 0 4
With the passing of flag football, basketball moves into the
spotlight on the intramural
scene. Coach Don Knowles, advisor of intramural activities,
hopes to begin hoop action
either this week or next.
With only approximately 48
male students signed to participate, Mr. Knowles figures to
initiate six teams of eight players in what may be a doubleelimination set-up “depending
on how things work out.”
The defending champions of
the intramural basketball program are the Devastators who
went undefeated through nine
games. Only one player returns from that team, Ludke,
who paced the league in scoring with a 25.4 average.
Clubs, Associations, Societies
German Club
Mrs. Dupont, foreign language instructor at Peninsula
College, is interested in starting
a German Club on the campus.
Purpose of the club would be
to give members experience in
speaking German and to learn
more about Germany. Those
interested should contact Mrs.
Dupont.
To date, there has never been
a German Club on the Peninsula College campus in its five
year history. The precedent is
being attempted. It would give
those German students a chance
to practice what they have
learned and also to expand
upon what they have learned
in the college classroom.
A.W.S.
On Wednesday, November 2,
A.W.S. (Associated Women Students) held an important meeting to begin plans for the Christmas Formal. Tickets for the formal will go on sale the first
week of December for the annual event, which will be held
on December 14.
Also at the meeting, the new
officers were introduced. They

On the weekend of November 11-12, the Northwest A.W.S.
Convention was held at the University of Washington. Those
attending from Peninsula were
Sharon Dysart, Barb Majeskik,
Leslie Gentry and Cecilia Nite.
At the convention, a number
of topics were discussed, such
as the purpose and effect of
A.W.S. on college campuses.
Also a panel of professors and
students argued academic and
personal freedom on campus.
Bowling Club
Through the initial efforts of
Mr. George Pollock, Peninsula
College now has a Bowling
Club. Although the club has
met only three times, the members have drawn up a constitution stating rules and objectives and have elected officers.
The results of the elections
are as follows: President, Hugh
Davis; Vice-President, Gail McGuinness; Secretary, Lynne
Minker; Treasurer, Shirli Rowe.
The club meets every Tuesday at Port Angeles Lanes from
2:30 to 5:00 p.m. Membership
entitles each bowler to cutrates, professional instruction,
and an opportunity for intercollegiate competion (in addition to a chance to rid oneself
of the suppressed aggressions
and many frustrations accompanying college life).
Presently there are 17 members in the club, and membership remains open to anyone
who wants to join.
A name for the Bowling Club
has not ben decided upon as of
yet; but with the psychologyoriented crew and advisor, an
appropriate title might be “The
Displaced Aggressionists” or,
perhaps, “The Sublimators.”
Challenge
To Ron Dilling, Sophomore Class President.
As the weather changes and the moist smell of decay and
moral nonsense flows forth from the Sophomore class (that academic armpit of Peninsula College), we present a challenge io
battle. Our truth, beauty and charm will defeat your beastiality
and chaos. The foes meet and a new tradition is started.
The Freshman class wants to see the evilness of the Sophomore class destroyed with a glorious victory. You who misuse
our name and violate our sanctity, prepare, for the day of doom
awaits your interesting menagerie!
Enough with politeness! We feel a higher percentage of
Freshmen will attend the first home basketball game than Sophomores. If Mr. Dilling and his illustrious crew accept this challenge we feel it is only fair to warn them that the president of the
losing class will be compelled to push a peanut across the basketball court WITH HIS NOSE! This would be conducted at
half-time.
Accept this challenge. Perhaps we’ll show mercy! … We
hope the Sophomores will at least show up.
Chuck Simon, Freshman Class President.
