Work-study program offered to students
A work study program,
student loans and grants are
among the financial aid options
available to Peninsula College
students.
The work study program, now
open, currently employs 20
students.
High turnover of students
participating in the program is
a major problem. Dean of
Students Art Feiro estimates 50
students will have benefited
from the program by the end of
this year. In addition, five or six
students will be employed
through the summer.
The $2 per hour rate of pay
may contribute to the high
turnover, he said. Two hours
daily are the maximum hours
worked. Most of the students
involved also receive other
forms of financial aid.
Attempting to match
students’ career interests with
jobs to be performed, a policy
initiated this fall, has been only
partially successful. Students
majoring in academic fields
have been placed as instructors’
assistants whenever possible.
Office positions are open,
however a low number of
secretarial students
demonstrating financial need
have applied for the work study
program.
Funding for the work study
program comes from state and
federal governments with the
college contributing 20 per cent
of the total cost.
Other forms of financial aid
available to students include the
Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant (SEOG) and
the Basic Educational
Opportunity Grant (BEOG).
The SEOG is awarded to
students with a background of
economic deprivation.
Eligibility is determined by the
financial aid office. Results of a
BEOG application are
determined by the federal
government, and are mailed
directly to the applicant.
Students involved in the oneor-two-year nursing programs
may get student nursing loans
supplied by Port Angeles
citizens and community
organizations, matched by
Peninsula College funds.
Tuition waivers also are
granted to as many as three
percent of the college’s
students. The waivers are
presented on both a quarterly
and yearly basis. Short term
book loans also are available,
but must be repaid promptly.
Federally insured student
loans may be obtained from
local banks. These loans allow
students to complete their
education before repaying the
low interest loans.
Students planning to apply for
any of these financial need
programs should submit a
financial sta temen t.
Information may be obtained
from Mr. Feiro on compiling
these statements.
ASB election results
The ASB election for
freshmen and sophomore class
representatives and boosters
was held Friday.
Elected freshman class
representatives were Kara
Slehofer, Russell Collon and
Kelly Irwin.
Sophomores elected were
Steve Kimball and Brian
Murphy. Robin Bramlette and
Jerome Eberharter will have a
run-off election. Fifth candidate
was Steve Percival.
Boosters elected were Stacie
Baker, Shelly Bauer and Jody
Barker.
There will be an ASB meeting
Oct. 22, when the newly-elected
officers will attend to become
informed of their new duties.
Studiumm Generale students want political debate
Will Ludlow Kramer and Don
Bonker, Third Congressional
District candidates, ever debate
at PC?
Both men were invited to
appear, but scheduling hassles
have created problems. To
clear up the situation, a poll was
taken at the Oct. 10 Studium
Generale lecture. Results: 110
students agreed to attend a
debate by both candidates “at
any date, morning, noon or
night.”
A letter containing the results
of the poll, was sent to both
Kramer and Bonker, and
carried this note: “A debate,
along the lines of a DouglasLincoln or a Webster-Haynes of
an earlier period in American
political history, would be most
appropriate today.”
Dr. Quast, director of the
Studium Generale program
said, “We hope that the
gentlemen will see the real need for a true debate before our 200
interested students.”
The Oct. 10 lecture, “Cycling
in the Pacific Northwest” was
presented by Richard Hendry,
Counselor at PC. Mr. Hendry
showed slides of his recent trip
to British Columbia, and offered
safety and operation tips on
bicycling.
Charles Herring, ownermanager of KAPY radio, spoke
about “Broadcasting’s
Triennial Tribulations” on Oct.17. He talked about the
problems involved with radio
license renewal, which must be
done every three years.
“Justice in Acadamia” will
be the subject on Oct. 24. Ms.
Susan Heckman, a specialist in
modern political theory, will
talk about justice as it relates to
the study of politics and the role
of women in the academic
world.
Brazilian student attending PC
Joao Augusto Foltran is a
Rotary exchange student from
Piracicaba, Sao Paulo, Brazil,
attending Peninsula College fall
quarter.
Known to his fellow students
as Joe, this 19-year-old native
Brazilian speaks fluent English
as well as his native Portugese.
“Joe” has been in Port
Angeles since January, and will
be returning to Brazil after fall
quarter. In Brazil he will attend
the University of Sao Paulo,
majoring in drama. He hopes to
become an actor.
Joe has been staying with City
Manager and Mrs. Hal Puddy.
He feels that besides all of his
new friends in America, he will
miss the snow when he returns
to Brazil. Right now he misses
the Brazilian sunshine and the
carnival.
Joe calls his PC major
“general and English
improvement.”
Public can meet political candidates
A chance to meet and
question candidates on the
November ballot will be offered
at a public meeting Monday,
Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the Senior
Drop-In Center, next to the
downtown library in Port
Angeles.
Each candidate in a contested
race will make a five-minute
presentation, giving
qualifications and commenting
on current issues and goals.
Following talks by the
candidates for each office,
written questions from the
audience will be addressed to
the candidates by the
moderator, Beverly Kinney.
Unopposed candidates will be
offered the chance to speak if
they wish.
Following the forum, an
informal coffee hour will allow
candidates to meet and talk
informally with those attending.
The meeting’s sponsors, the
League of Women Voters, The
Daily News, and American
Association of University
Women, urge all voters to take
advantage of this opportunity to
meet the candidates and find
out how they feel about issues
that affect them.
Candidates for U.S. Senate,
Congress, State Supreme Court,
State Representative, and
County Commissioner have
been invited. Other county
candidates who are running
unopposed also have been
invited.
So far these have accepted:
Evelyn Tinkham, D.J.
Caulkins, Irene Conca, Skip
Barron, Paul Conner, Charles
Horowitz or representative,
Don Bonker representative,
and unopposed, Robert Clark,
Les Lancaster and Harley
Bishop.
Phi Theta holds annual party
The Something for Everybody
Party has been sponsored by
Phi Theta since 1965, when it
was first held in the old student
center, and it has been on the
fall calendar ever since.
This year’s party is going to
take place in the PUB, Oct. 18 at
8 p.m.
It will consist of an
accumulation of games that
peoplemight play with relatives
and friends at Christmas time.
The variety of games changes
every year, depending on how
the students feel about it.
Themain purpose of the party
is to increase the relationships
between students and faculty
and student-student, giving
them the opportunity to have
fun playing games together and
getting to know each other, with
the help of name tags.
Foreign students will be
introduced and they will talk
about their countries.
Refreshments will be served.
Tickets cost 25 cents single and
49 cents couple.
‘Tidepools’ needs help
Tidepools, the student
literarymagazine, is looking for
help with this year’s
publication.
Contributions of any form of
creative writing are welcome.
Any material to be considered
for publication should be left
with Miss Avalon. Material will
be chosen by a student board.
Sudents are also needed to
help plan this year’s
publication. Anyone interested
in working on Tidepools should
call Charles Ditzel at 457-0095.
Tidepools was not published
last year, thich may lead to a
larger edition of the magazine
this spring.
COC starts
Christians on Campus will
again be operating this year,
and all interested people are
invited to participate.
Meetings will be Tuesday
nights from 7 to 8 for an
informal study time, and there
will also be possible weekend
get-togethers.
Christians on Campus is an
organization for Christians and
their friends. It gives them an
opportunity to join for study,
fellowship and just having a
good time.
Anyone is welcome to attend
and to exchange ideas and
thoughts.
Editorial
BOC set for action
Fall quarter elections have ended without any
startling results. This doesn’t necessarily mean that
the newly-elected officials are mediocre as well.
Entering the realm of student government are six
new officers full of hope and ideas. Representing the
freshman class are Kara Slehofer, Russell Collon and
Kelly Erwin. These people, being new to PC, are not
yet fully familiar with the inner workings of the BOC.
With a little time and luck though, they should be
doing a fine job.
The sophomore representatives, Steve Kimball and
Brian Murphy, (the third officer as yet un named),
should be returning to PC with good thoughts based on
their experiences last year. Murphy has jump on the
other officers, too, having been acquainted with
student government in his past.
In order to do an efficient and effective job, these
officers will need the support of the students. Without
knowledge of student sentiment on important issues,
they will have nothing to base their decisions on but
their own personal judgment.
So remember, did we elect them to work for
themselves, or for the entire student body?

Library corner
The library has acquired
several SR-10 electronic slide
rule calculators. The SR-10 is
designed especially for use by
scientists, engineers, and
students who require a
portable, highly accurate, and
reliable computation tool.
This calculator is capable of
solving a wide range of complex
scientific problems, including
the square root function. It will
also solve the simplest
arithmetic problem.
To check out a calculator, it is
necessary to surrender your
driver’s license. A calculator
can only be taken from the
library for a scheduled
examination, and must be
returned immediately upon
completion of the exam.
Another library service is the
self-operating Xerox machine.
For 10 cents, you will have
quality copies that are clean,
sharp, and easy to read blackon-white.
Also available is the Infonics
Dualmaster Duplicator in the
audio visual section. This
machine duplicates cassettes
and open-reel tapes onto one to
three cassettes in a matter of
minutes. For instance, it takes
three minutes, 45 seconds, to
duplicate a 60-minute cassette.
There is usually one time a
day set aside for this
duplicating service; therefore
students are required to bring
blank cassettes in one day prior
of time needed.
Briefs from other campuses
Mt. Hood Community College
is experiencing a four per cent
enrollment increase this
quarter, up 600 to 11,000, of
which 5,700 are full time.
Polaris, the student
newspaper of North Seattle
Community College, may or
may not continue, depending on
student interest and
participation.
Tuition at North Seattle
Community College is only $75
per quarter, lowest in the state
for full-time students.
Would you take a class from
this teacher? That was the
question raised in a survey last
spring at Washington State
University, with the results
being distributed this fall
during registration.
“Profscan,” a faculty rating
system developed by Seagull
Enterprises, has caused
considerable furor among the
WSU faculty, especially for
those with a “not
recommended” rating. The
faculty reaction to “Profscan”
varies widely but a common
question raised is whether it
will have any effect on
promotion or tenure.
Another rating system has
been used at WSU, but unlike
“Profscan” it has met the
approval of the university and
its faculty.
What happens now? While a
potential lawsuit by one “not
recommended” professor is in
the works, and the future of
“Profscan” in doubt, the
originators, three former WSU
students, maintain they will
release a better, improved
survey next fall.
BUC staff hits high
The Buccaneer is brought to
you this quarter by the largest
staff in its history. No less than
11 students are contributing
their talents to the publication.
Editor is Ed Mund, with Jeff
Bialik helping out as assistant
editor. Reporters include
Darrell Bessey, Joao Foltran,
Jane Friedman, Charles Lukey
and Richard Elwood.
Covering the sports scene are
Ed Bush, James Cox and John
Myers. Staff photographer is
Harold Holland.
Editor Ed Mund is returning
to the Buccaneer after working
on the staff three quarters last
year. He has been involved with
student newspapers since his
junior high school days.
CIP offers extra credit
The Community Involvement
Program is still providing
unlimited opportunity for any
student who is looking for extra
credits in the social science
area.
Some volunteer students are
working with drug prevention
programs and activity director
for the Mental Health and
Retardation Center. Others are
involved in a council of juvenile
parole services and youth
programs for the YMCA.
Representatives of these
organizations have been here
and anyone interested may see
Mr. Jerry Spicer in the Student
Services Building.
a look at the artists
celebration of life
By JEFF BIALIK
Dick Bakken uses power and
effect to deliver deliberate and
intense poetry. He chooses to
deliver his poetry completely by
memory, being free to use his
hands and complete
consciousness to create an
image for the audience, an
image of meaning.
Bakken presented his poetry
at a performance in the
Peninsula College Little
Theater on Oct. 8. Along with
his girl friend, dancer Susan
Venier, Bakken left his
audience in awe, and with
mixed feelings.
Introduced by Jack Estes as
“one who believes that poetry
should be heard and not
necessarily always just read in
the seclusion of one’s room,”
Bakken began to chant, and
immediately * moved his
audience into another world, his
own world of spirit.
Bakken uses down-to-earth
language, and expresses
himself in few words. His
description and experiences are
so natural that they bite, not
unlike a cold chill.
Susan Venier, a school
teacher by profession and
dancer for Bakken, is the
“book’s” illustration. She
provides the movements that
deliver visual effects to the
audience.
Bakken and Susan Venier are
artists for the open minded.
“Art has been defined as a
celebration of life,” stated Jack
Estes, and a performance by
Dick Bakken is just that.
Speaking of artists, another
ex-Beatle is making his mark
with a new album of
achievement. “Walls and
Bridges” by John Lennon, is
undoubtedly one of the best
works of art to come from the
“four from Pepperland” since
they split so many years ago.
The LP’s first single release,
“Whatever Gets You Thru the
Night,” stars Elton John and is
already advancing to the top of
the charts.
Recorded in the midst of a
great trial (Immigration
Service vs. John Lennon),
Lennon drove his new team of
artists to exhaustion in order to
achieve the results he desired,
and he has achieved.
The sound is a bit different
than previous Lennon efforts,
and the music appeals to both
the John Lennon fan, and your
average All-American good
music fan. The album contains
rock, boogie, funky, a little jazz,
a little blues, and a lot of style.
“Walls and Bridges” is worth
listening to, and worth
reviewing.
By the way, John Lennon has
filed his case to stay in the U.S.
with the Court of Appeals after
being ordered out of the country
by Sept. 8. Meanwhile, with the
case against Lennon beginning
to smell something of a
Watergate (involving, to say the
least, none other than former
Attorney General John
Mitchell), John has launched a
counter offensive: John Lennon
vs. the United States. It will be
interesting to see if one of the
world’s greatest musicians will
finally be able to live in peace,
in the land of the free and the
home of the brave.
Pirates begin to build
It’s getting close to basketball
season again, and the Peninsula
Pirates promise to improve on
last year’s so-so season.
This year’s team has seven
returning lettermen back: Jeff
Mills, Mark Ernesti, Steve
Norris, Tim Fryer, Ed Bush,
John Woodman and Dan
Hodgen. Three of these players,
Mills, Emesti and Fryer, were
starters on last year’s ball club.
The roster also includes many
good freshmen. Local talent
includes 6-7 center Steve
Willemsen and 5-10 guard Joe
Coleman, both graduates from
Port Angeles. Willemsen is a
fine inside man with good
rebounding strength, while
Coleman is a quick, ball
handling, offensive threat.
Coach Huston has been
blessed with a lot of fine forwards including sophomores
Emesti, Norris and Hodgan,
while getting freshmen Ritch
Schultz from Tyee and Dave
McDonald from Canada.
Schultz and McDonald add
excellent outside shooting to the
line-up, with an extra razzle
dazzle of offensive moves from
McDonald.
Norris will be fighting for a
starting position if injuries do
not slow him down. Last year
Steve had back luck. He broke a
finger at the beginning of the
season, and later broke his nose
in a game against Highline.
Guards for the team are led
by the captain and most
valuable player of last year’s
team, Tim Fryer. Other guards are Ed Bush and Freshmen Kenny Tallquist, Mike
VanBuskirk and Randy
Polhamus.
Highly recruited guard Bob
Boback is not expected to see
any action this year due to a car
accident this summer, in which
he seriously injured his right
leg
Asitstands now, the teamhas
14 members. The traveling
squad consists of 12 players, so
Coach Huston is going to have a
tough decision when it comes
down to the nitty gritty of who
will be cut from the team and
who will stay.
Girls Volleyball gets bad start
Girls’ volleyball for Peninsula College got off to a
disappointing start, as a girls’
team from Everett won the first
two games in the best-of-three
15-2 and 15-8.
In the first game, Everett
jumped off to a quick 4-0 score,
and was never threatened by
Peninsula for the lead. The
posed and confident Everett
squad took advantage of the
home team’s nervousness for
easy points in the opening
minutes, to overwhelm them 15-
2.
Despite the final score, in the
second game Peninsula gaines
some confidence and began to
play as they are capable of
doing. They started to set the
ball up, and penetrate Everett’s
tough defense. The big downfall
in this game was that none of
the girls for Peninsula could
release a couple or more good
serves in a row. Peninsula
managed to keep within two or
three points until late in the
contest. But with the score 8-11,
Everett came up with some fine
saves and well executed plays
to win, 8-15.
This was the first game for
both teams, but Peninsula had
only practiced five times
previous to the game, while
Everett has had many practice
games with Pacific Lutheran
University.

Campus sport scene
By ED BUSH
Behind the scene of the P.E. activities and intramural
sports program stands one man. He is the one person who
teaches all the P.E. classes along with scheduling intramural
games. He is part-time referee and official on the oftendisputed intramural rules. He is Mr. Livingston, commonly
known as “Stan.”
Mr. Livingston has attended many colleges in working his
way to earn his master’s degree in physical education. In
fact, he attended six different colleges on his road to
education, fromasfar away asIthica College in New York to
Washington State University, where he did one year of post
graduate work as a P.E. instructor.
While he was at WSU, Peninsula was looking for a P.E.
instructor. Mr. Feiro called WSU and told them of his need
for an instructor, and they recommended Stan for the job.
That was six years ago, and Mr. Livingston has been
teaching P.E., handling intramural affairs and teaching first
aid ever since.
He devotes much of his time to school activities, while
doing his best for the students. Although some students offer
a lot of criticism, he has helped raise the intramural program
to one of the best junior college programs in the state.
His constant harassment of reporters to get articles in the
paper about the programs is amazing. Since he found out that
I was a reporter for the school paper, all that I hear from him
are proposals for various stories on intramural activities.
Keep up the good work, J.L., and maybe more people will
realize your contributions.
Tennis courts get play
The new tennis courts have
been in use for a while now, and
are rarely unoccupied during
the day. Their nonslip red and
green surface makes playing on
them easy, fun and safe.
Several people said they liked
the tennis courts, but they could
be improved slightly. One
suggestion was lights. Flood
lights on the playing surface
would be a desirable
improvement, and would
lengthen the playing time.
One thing bothers most
students is the parking
situation. Students who live in
the dorm are issued parking
spaces for their cars. The
problem is, the students say
they constantly have to ask
people to move from their
parking spaces. There should be
either specific public parking
near the tennis courts, or the
public should have to use the
parking lot at the entrance of
the campus.
The only time the courts are
reserved daily is from 10 a.m. to
noon for the P.E. classes. Aside
from that, the courts are open
for use.
Peninsula College’s new
tennis courts are now
getting good use.
Recod enrollment for night school
“It appears that this will be
an all-time record quarter,”’
according to Thomas Hostetler,
director of the night school
program at P.C.
Following a policy of giving
the public what it wants, there
is more variety of classes this
quarter than at any previous
time. There has also been a
record number of closed classes
as more and more people are
taking advantage of evening
classes. In many cases, classes
have been extended to Saturday
because of the unavailability of
rooms during the week.
A wide range of adult
enrichment classes have been
started at the Senior Center this
quarter. The classes will range
from dancing, singing and
music to Russian society,
current events and
conversational Spanish. The
cost will be $1 per credit for
those over 60, and the usual fee
of $7 per credit for younger
students.
Studium Generale, a part of
the night school program, is
more popular than ever before.
Enrollment has reached 203, an all-time high.
The night school agenda
increased this year to include
agriculture classes, more
varied P.E. classes, and an
Indian history class. These
classes have brought much
praise from the public.
Evening classes this fall will
range from prepared childbirth
to mountain climbing to belly
dancing to waste water
treatment. For a complete
listing of class offerings, see
Mr. Hostetler at the Peninsula
College Office of continuing
education.
The night school program is
in effect throughout the North
Olympic Peninsula, with
classes being held in Port
Townsend, Sequim and Forks
and approximately 1,400
students participating.
Chess Club in full swing
TheChess Club isin fullswing
now. It had its first meeting
Monday, Oct. 7 and will meet
every Monday night from 7 to 10.Each meeting will start by
discussing and observing
various defensive or offensive
moves, and then members will
pair off and battle it out on the
chess board.
At thispoint, the Chess Club is
mainly a intramural fun-type
organization. Later on in the
year, they may hold chess
meets with other schools. If so,
the top five players from each
school will compete.
Dr. Duncan is the advisor.
It’s still not too late to join.
