Thoreau drama opens April 18
“The Night Thoreau Spent in
Jail” will be presented by the
Peninsula College Players in
four performances starting with
a free matinee April 18.
The play, starring PC
students, reveals to the
audience the workings of
Thoreau’s mind during the
night he spent in jail for nonpayment of taxes.
The audience
is exposed to his thoughts about
nature, his relationship with
Ralph Waldo Emerson, his
relationship with his family and
friends, and his various
philosophies of life. Much of the
dialogue is adapted from his
own writings.
The cast includes Ron
Maynock, Steve Kimball, Paula
Watson, Jeff Pope, John Mead,
Vickie Heckman, Ken Klein,
Jerry Levine, Melva Lund,
Kathy Seibert, Jeff Wilson, Jeff
Lunt, Ken Lessard, Pati
Merrick, Abdulhakim Haider,
Charles Ditzel, Charles Leach
and Mike Hassel.
The play is being co-directed
by Marjorie Avalon, from the
PC faculty, and Julie Fuller, a
former PC student. Miss Fuller
graduated from Western
Washington State College and
has worked with and
participated in several plays.
These include “Trojan
Woman,” “Cabaret,” “Guys
and Dolls,” “Much Ado About
Nothing,” and “Antigone.”
While a student at Western, she
played a leading role in the play
she is now co-directing.
Production help has come
from Miss Fuller, who designed
the lighting, Paul Romerein,
sound effects; Jack Evans,
lighting; Lois Blair, set design;
Pati Merrick, costumes; and
Sylvia Waddell, properties.
Performances will be held
April 18,19 and 20, at 8 p.m. in
the Little Theatre. Admission
charge is 50 cents for students
and $1 for adults. The public is
invited.

Hatchery building vandalized March 30
A group of young teenagers broke into the fish hatchery on Saturday March 30. They threw rocks and broke in the door of the hatchery in order to gain entrance. The only thing they seemed to have stolen was the chain link locking the door.
Once inside the building they threw more rocks, sand and gravel into the salmon fry through which had had over 1,000 fish in it at the time. The vandals also broke the glass front of an aquarium which contained two-year-old cohos, some of which survived the ordeal.
Mr. Well checked the fish carefully everyday while Kevin Lowe reported the burglary to Mr.Well Saturday.
“The new recycling hatchery system behind the fisheries building should prevent any further incidents of this sort.” says Claude Pierce, a fisheries student.
‘Sharing of uncertainties’ next Stadium Generale
Jim Pinney, a philosopher
from Orcas Island, promises to
“share uncertainities with
anyone who is curious,” in his
talk for Studium Generale on
April 18.
Pinney plans to converse with
the audience on “Perennial
Questions.” He claims not to
give talks. Some of the
questions he will try to answer
are: Why? Who are you? Where
did we come from? How can we
get there? How important is
time?
Although well educated,
Pinney prefers not to reveal
how. He feels what is important
is self taught from life.
Dr. F. A. Siegler will speak at
the April 25 Studium Generale
on “India 1973: Introduction to
Past and Present Philosophy,”
based on a recent eight month
visit to India.
Dr. Siegler, who holds a Ph.D.
in Philosophy of Humanities
from Stanford University, has
been a frequent lecturer at
universities in the U.S. and
Canada. He has written many
professional publications and
association papers.
Dr. Siegler is currently
teaching at the University of
Washington. He has taught at
the University of Chicago and
Stanford University.
He also will speak on “The
Principles and Practices of My
Experimental Sanctuary, Deer
Park Road, Port Angeles,” on
the night of April 25. This
project is one of the major ones
for which he spends 95 per cent
of his income.
On April 11, Edward Tisch
talked on “How to Tell the Trees
of our Area.” He spent eight
years researching this subject
and had pictures of every tree.
He discussed what they look
like, where they grow, and what
they are good for.
The Western Washington StateCollege Drama and Music
Department presented for the
first spring quarter Studium
Generale on April 4 the short
opera, “Merry Wives of
Windsor,” by Otto Nicolai, and
also “Mavra” by Igor
Stravinsky. The opera was well
received by those who attended,
although it cost $500 to put it on
and only $179 was brought in.
On May 2, Larry Bourne will
talk on “Underwater Sealife
Photography.” He will be
followed on May 9 by Dr. Robert
Keller, who will speak on “The
Role of Initiatives in Politics.”
Dr. Hugh Bone, speaking on
“American Political Parties,”
will be here on May 16.
“Body Language” will be the
topic of Margaret Coutu’s talk
on May 30.
The Studium Generale
lectures will conclude June 6
with a performance by the Port
Angeles Symphony ensembles.
Editorial
Let students choose
This is an opinion not many are going to like.
Students, especially sophomores, should be allowed to
help select the main speaker for graduation.
We don’t want to imply we dislike this year’s
selection, State Sen. Gordon Sandison, though we are
unsure that all of us agree he has done (or the
legislature as a whole) has done all it can to “help”
community colleges.
That the senator has local appeal and popularity is
certain. We just think that for commencement
exercises, Peninsula deserves to occasionally get a
biggie, like Seattle schools.
Last year’s decision to bring back graduates to
explain how a Peninsula College education has helped
in their careers was novel and unique; and in the end a
far better idea than this year’s speaker.
For the class of ’75, let’s let the graduates invite a
speaker to reflect their opinions.
— Rich Olson
Briefs from other campuses
A random sample of 27 students, faculty and staff taken at
Walla Walla Community College showed a two-to-one margin
in favor of impeaching President Nixon.
The most frequently given grade at Centralia College is A.
In fall quarter 1972,26 per cent of all grades given were A’s,
as compared to .5 per cent F’s.
Streaking has the potential of
becoming a new form of
political protest, according to
R. R. Kleinhesselink, assistant
psychology professor at WSU.
He bases this belief on the 1972
Yippie convention in which
demonstratorsmarched nude to
distinguish themselves from
CIA and FBI agents infiltrating
theirranks, and the disrobing of
17 people at Grinnell College in
Iowa in protest of a campus
visit by a Playboy
representative.
North Seattle Community
College Student Senator Pete
Celms has devised a method to
increase the security of
motorcycles parked on campus.
The method involves imbedding
six foot lengths of chain one foot
deep in concrete for the cycle
riders to attach their bikes to.
The matter was sent to the
College Senate.
The 1973 Washington State
Legislature may have forced
state colleges to honor
roommate requests regardless
of the sex of those requesting.
This is the result of an
amendment to the law barring
discrimination in housing based
on sex or marital status. The
law is expected to change in
April.
Fairhaven College will offer a
course called “Sasquatch and
the Problems of Verification”
spring quarter. The classwill be
taught by a team consisting of a
doubter and a believer.
The Gay People’s Alliance
held a “Gay Awareness Week”
at WWSC. The main ideas will
be education and creativity.
Beginning and advanced lip
reading courses will be offered
as an eveing course at Spokane
Falls College this spring.
WSU has started using
students as parking attendants
to write tickets on illegally
parked cars. The six students
work either on foot or in cars
provided by the school.
According to the campus police,
they wrote a total of 2,452
tickets in January.
A small child of a student
pulled a fire alarm at Shoreline
Community College. The result:
Nothing. Most students either
stood around wondering what
do do next, or resumed the work
they were doing before being so
rudely interrupted.
In a mock impeachment
proceeding, the political science
class at Seattle Central
Community College acquitted
President Nixon on all eight
charges. It was reported that
the verdict was a surprise to
most class members.
A fire alarm set off in the
WSU student center was almost
completely ignored by people
attending Casino Royale. A fire
department spokesman said
that only about 10 gamblers left
the building.
Three WSU students were
arrested and issued
misdemeanor citations for
throwing snowballs. A police
spokesman wouldn’t reveal any
details.
Inside ASB
By SUE SPILLANE
There is an abundance of good
spring entertainment here and
coming, from our own play
production to an outdoor folkrock concert on June 1.
The way we planned it last
July, April is “Old Time Movies
Month” and, beginning with W.
C. Fields’ “My Little
Chickadee” tonight at 8, some
of the favorite Fields, West, and
Laurel and Hardy movies will
be shown Friday and Sunday
nights.
Whether it rains or not, April
20 (a Saturday) will be a day to
get together with other students
for badminton, volleyball,
baseball and lunch. The picnic
at Lake Crescent (or in the Pub
and gym) will be sponsored at
no cost to individual students.
May 4 is the Victoria trip, an
all-campus safari in rented
buses which has always been
popularly attended. Traveling
to Canada at extremely reduced
prices, students will tour
Butchart Gardens and also have
a few hours to walk around the
city on their own.
At the dance to be held May 10
(we haven’t booked the band
yet), results of the yearly
student body elections to
determine sophomore officers
for next year will be announced.
The following Saturday, May 18,
is Campus-Clean-up Day.
Activities Council Chairman
Mary Roblan has been working
most of the year to get the film
“Reefer Madness” to be shown
May 24. Movies have been
especially popular this year,
2nd with the 8 o’clock starting
time, we hope they will continue
to be.
Friday, after Memorial Day
holiday, a bass fishing contest
on the log booms near Crown Z
mill is planned, and that
Saturday P.C. combines a fish
eating feast with an outdoor
folk-rock concert. (Local
musicians and singers needed.)
Though all this is definite,
many of the entertainment
specials here are still being
planned, and could be made
better with your active interest.
Volunteer ticket-takers,
projectionists and planners
(service often offers free
admission) are being sought for
many of the films, and the May
dance. If you are interested in
helping, see Mary Roblan in the
Student services Building ASB
office.
Whether your schedule
permits volunteership or not,
Associated Students hopes you
will enjoy some of these spring
happenings.
Library Corner
Exploring the history and
present circumstances of ten
primitive peoples is the topic of
the Horizon Book “Vanishing
Primitive Man.”
This is a story of the journey
in search of the living survivors
of Stone Age societies. Each
chapter combines the accounts
of explorers whose records
form the basis of our knowledge
of a primitive people with the
latest insights of modern
anthropologists. The culture s
prehistoric origins, physical
characteristics, social
structure, and situation today
are probed and pictured, to
reveal rich lives of religion and
magic, of great skills and
casual bravery. Much of the
information was unknown until
this decade, much is rare
history.
A companion to the book isthe
LP record “The Music of
Primitive Man.” This record
presentsmore than 50 examples
of exotic chants and
instruments, as well as songs of
work, war, love, and
celebration. All were recorded
on site in remote corners of the
world and were brought
together for this unique
collection—before the music
fades forever.
Alaskan loans now available
Native Alaskan students are
reminded that Alaska Student
Loan applications are available
now in the Student Services
Building.
These loans will be for the
1974-75 school year.

indicates the cache contains
individual and team sports
items such as tennis equipment,
footballs, basketballs and

Livingston at the gym.
Courts delayed
Lincoln Construction Co.
began preliminary drainage
work on the proposed tennis
courts behind the dorm during
spring break. However, they
found the area to be too wet and
unstable for further work.
According to Art Feiro,
director of athletics, Lincoln
Construction anticipates no
further work to be attempted
until at least June. By then they
hope the ground will be dry
enough to work with.
Jon Livingston, P.E.
teacher, has informed his
beginning tennis classes that
they will have to hold class on
the various courts around town
due to these developments. He
said the courts should be
finished around the first of
August.
Golf added as new varsity sport
Golf has come to Peninsula
College for the first time in the
school’s history.
A group of five players
approached Mr. Feiro with the
idea of starting a golf team for
inter-collegiate competition.
According to Mr. Feiro, they
presented the idea with such
enthusiasm that he granted
their request on an
experimental basis.
Mr. Feiro said the team has
been successful so far. He said
that next year the team will go
to the Board of Control for a
budget so they can enter the
league.
The team is presently made
up of Jim Powers and John
Thronson from Port Townsend,
Gary Francis from Chimacum,
Tim Fryer from Port Angeles,
and Robin Bramlette from
Crespi Carmelite, Calif.
Practice and matches are
held on the Sunland golf course
in Sequim. The schedule for
matches is:
April 5, Bellevue, there.
April 8, Grays Harbor, there.
April 15, Clark and Mt. Hood,
there.
May 3, Highline, there.
May 6, Everett, here.
May 13, Highline, here.
May 17, Everett, there.
Funds for this year’s team
come from money saved during
basketball season, and from
other sports budgets.
Pot of Gold
By BIL KETTLE
There is a rumor rapidly
spreading around campus that
Larry Horn is trying to get
Peninsula College to sponsor a
track team. He would like to run
the 100 yard dash — with a track
suit even!
The favorite in the intramural
badminton tourney has to be
Jack Estes. He won the title a
couple of years back. Don’t
worry about coming to watch
Jack play as he has promised
that his performance won’t be a
repeat of his recent noon
performance in the Little
Theater.
Anyone been over to watch
the Kamakazi action at noon
which has been referred to
loosely as faculty basketball?
Recent casualties are Mr.
Livingston with five stitches
over his eye and Mr. Willits with
a broken rib. Mr. Maloney has
justreturned to action after Mr.
Lunt made a believer out of
him. For some reason he is still
a little gunshy about driving to
the hoop.
Mr. Galles and Mr. Van
Deusen have placed themselves
on the inactive list after
injuries. The secret still
remains why Dick Fisch has
never been injured. He keeps
saying something about Demos
being made oftougher fiber, but
can we believe him? With their
ranks thinning, the “old men”
have started recruiting students
to fill in. Larry Horn (now he
has something black to wear)
will tell you, all you need is an
icebag to qualify.
Tennis anyone? From the
looks of it, we will be playing
mudball instead of chasing that
white dot. Rumor hasit that the
contractor is waiting for the
water to drain out of the ground
before getting started. That
ought to be in time for the Derby
Days Open.
Congratulations to Charles
Ditzel for his I.M. Chesswin and
to the Cunning Rocks for their
I.M. Basketball Championship!
What was really amazing about
the title game was John Ralston
keeping his mouth closed —
turning over a new leaf, John?
Due to ever toughening
enforcement about bringing
alcohol on trips, we hear the
enrollment is down in all the
outdoor climbing and hiking
classes except Rich Olson’s.
Hmrnrn! Sign up quick while
there is still room.
Have you seen the recent
governmentreport on smoking?
It shows that one inhales more
carbon monoxide from the
smoke of a cigarette being held,
or in an ashtray, than from
actually inhaling the smoke
during the process of smoking.
The same comparison can be
made for nitrogen dioxide,
hydrogen cyanide, and
carcinogenic materials. It’s
beginning to look like the nonsmoker, who is exposed to
smoke, is in more danger than
anyone. If a proposed law
passes in the next session of the
legislature, it will be against the
law to smoke in the PUB.
The aren’t-you-glad-you-useDial department — anyone
know why practically everyone
rooming on the same floor as
the varsity basketball players
moved out of the dorm? Jim
Quatermass knows no one will
listen to him.
Observation Of The Week —
We hear that Vicky Samples’
favorite TV Show is “The
Streaks Of San Francisco.”
