One office contestant in ASB election
The office of AS President is
the only contested race in
today’s ASB elections.
James Cox and Larry
McFadden are running it off
today in the only race that
hasn’t already been decided.
Lisa Hitt and Lois Owens are
running unopposed for vice
president and secretarytreasurer respectively.
Both candidates for president
admit to never having attended
a BOC meeting.
Larry McFadden said he’d
like to see more interest in
student activities. “I’d like to
see more interest in dances and
a lot more interest and
activities in Pete’s week.’’ McFadden said.
Cox said he also would like to
see renewed interest in such
activities. Neither candidate
would comment on how to
increase interest, or on what
they hope to accomplish if
elected. Both candidates said
they will be returning to PC
next fall if elected or not, and
were not influenced to run by
the tuition waiver the ASB
president receives.
Under the revised
constitution, ratified April 23,
all candidates for president,
vice president, and secretarytreasurer must have earned 24
units of credit prior to election.
All candidates with the
exception of Ms. Owens have
earned substantial credit hours.
At press time Ms. Owens was
still counting on a made-up
incomplete grade to fullfill the
requirements.
Along with the credit
requirement all candidates
must have a 2.0 cumulative
grade point average in order to
run for office. All the candidates
have a 2.0 cumulative grade
point.
If elected Ms. Owens will be
the school’s first secretarytreasurer, as the two offices
were combined when the
revised constitution was
ratified.
Also included in the revised
constitution is a removal from
office clause that makes it
possible for the BOC or 20 per
cent of the student body to
initiate removal from office
proceedings. A removal from
office election would be held 10
days after the proceedings had
been initiated and with a twothirds majority approval any
elected BOC official could be
removed from office. The old
constitution had provisions for
impeachment but not for
removing from office.
Following today’s election a
dance will be held at 9 p.m. in
the PUB. The band will be “Flyby-Night,” and admission will
be free to all PC students with
ASB cards. Election results will
be announced at the dance.
Local company gets contract for lights
Angeles Electric Co. of Port
Angeles has been awarded the
contract for improving the
lighting system in the college
parking lot.
The project is costing the
college $9,690 and should be
completed by June 30. However,
the start of construction has
been delayed until new material
not originally specified in the
bid arrives and is approved by
the college.
Plans call for the removal of
the light standards installed in
the west end of the parking lot
last year by the city of Port
Angeles and their subsequent
return to the city. New lights
will be installed to replace
them.
In addition, two new light
standards will be erected in the
eastern end of the parking lot to
increase visibility for
pedestrians going from the
parking lot to the campus.
475 in 2nd walkathon
By NANCY WHITE
The March of Dimes
Walkathon May 3 was billed as
a “20 mile leisurely walk to save
human life.”
Itwasn’t all that leisurely. We
have some doubts that it was
even 20 miles. However, the
$10,829 dollars pledged will go
toward saving human life.
Dawn Fry and I started out
with the other 473 walkers
Saturday morning full of
confidence. We were both
veterans of former walkathons.
My father, who’s been one of the
faithful sponsors, could only
complain, “You are
walkathoning me to death.”
We may have walkathoned
ourselves to death.
It was impossible to quit
early. When walking with
persons much younger or much
older than you, you don’t dare
risk hurting your ego. Dr.
Werner Quast, one of our
sponsors, had said: “They
won’t make it more than three
miles, especially if it rains.”
With thatin our ears we made it
— and it did rain.
All but three of the walkers
finished. One ofthose who didn’t
was a 22-months-old baby.
Another one who did was a boy
in a wheelchair. He was pushed
the entire way by his brother.
What do you do to kill time on
a 20 mile walk? We solved it by
eating.
Every grocery store along the
way was deluged with walkers
buying candy bars, pop, and
other forms of junk. We were
right in there with the best of
them fighting to get to the
counter. The National Guard
also kept the walkers supplied
with water, sandwiches, and
cookies. Itwas our big chance to
work off five pounds, but it
almost worked the other way.
One poor German shepherd
dog will never be the same. His
house was directly on the route.
By the time we had passed him
he had almost barked himself
hoarse. There were still many
behind us. As we walked down
the road we could still hear him
barking.
He is not the only one who
may never be the same. Most of
the walkers suffered from a
common affliction — sore
bodies. It is shorter to say
where it doesn’t hurt rather
than where it does.
Three boys from Roosevelt
Junior High School made it in
two hours and 15 minutes. The
late walkers finished in around
seven hours. We made it in six.
To all of our friends who
didn’t think we would make it:
Ha, Ha, Ha.
Battlelines drawn on flouridation issue
“Who am I to believe? I’ve
heard both sides in this
fluoridation issue and both of
you have a mile-high stack of
‘studies’ to prove your point and
you both sound completely
believable!” said a confused
student at a meeting sponsored
by the Aroused Citizens against
Fluoridation.
On May 2, four meetings were
held around Port Angeles by
people concerned for and
against fluoridating the city’s
water supply. The questions
raised concerned the
environment, safety to human
health, human rights and the
costs of installing the system
versus the cost of dental bills.
Last March the Medical and
Dental Societies of Clallam
County proposed fluoridation
because they “had seen too
many three-year-olds with their
teeth rotted out, 14-year-olds
trying to adjust to dentures, and
were alarmed because within
six months Public Health
Assistance has already spent
$36,000 on dental care in this
county,” said Mrs. Robbi
Mantooth, one of the organizers
of what has become a
campaign for fluoridation.
The natural fluoride level in
Port Angeles water is one-tenth
of one part per million.
Supporters of fluoride seek to
have that increased to one part
per million, the level where the
reaction of fluoride on teeth
ceases to be helpful.
Dr. Robert Faine, the
regional director of health care
and a strong supporter of
fluoridation, said there are
enough studies to support the
belief that fluoridation is of no
danger to human health; that it
would not cause cancer, birth
defects, kidney malfunction or
cause damage to the action of
enzymes. Dr. Faine also said
the opposition to fluoridation is
using “scare tactics” to
convince the public that fluoride
is dangerous.
The cost of installing a
fluoridation system here would
be about $7,000 and operation
costs would be about $2,200 per
year, or about 15 cents per
person. Dr. Faine said fluoride
in water has proved to cut the
number of cavities in children
from three to one. He prefers
the 15 cents a year to dental
bills.
Dr. Faine assured Dr. Quast,
a PC staff member, that
fluoridated water would not
affect his goldfish, coffee, or
home brew. But he had nothing
to prove that it had no long term
effects on the environment.
Aroused Citizens against
Fluoridation engaged two
speakers, private citizens who
had done their own research
into fluoridation. Roy Wagner of
Redmond said there had not
been enough research to prove
its safety. He said that people
opposed to fluoridation had
been labeled “Birchers,
Christian Scientists and health
food fanatics,” and he was not
any of those. Because of this,
people were afraid to listen to
his side of the argument, he
said.
Editorial
The credits game
Students/ It is time for a math lesson. Are we all
ready? The college Is trying to change the 10z 15 and 20
distribution requirements for the Associate of Arts
Degree to 15/ 15 and 20. But don’t let those numbers
fool you. What the college is really doing is playing
musical chairs with the distribution system. However,
It can’t decide whether to take away a chair or add
one.
This change has passed through a committee, the
Instructional Council, and the faculty. Only the Board
of Trustees is left. If passed there It will go into effect
in the 1976-1977 year.
In changing the distribution requirements to 15, 15
and 20, the P.E. requirements have been dropped. Let
us have a moment of silence before we cheer its
passing. Also, a three-credit English course can count
for both the English 103 requirement and a
Humanities distribution credit. If a student takes the
103 course, however, It will not count In the
Humanities division. This will make up three of the
extra credits and five of the extra hours.
However, there is a difference between two hours of
P.E. and two hours of an academic class. A student
with slightly more physical ability than a department
store mannequin can lend his body for two hours a
week, take it on a pass-fail basis, and pass with one
credit. It is true that we still only have to have 90
credits to graduate, but It is also true that the P.E.
credits were never Included in those 90. Now the
student must take two extra credits in an academic
class that he might not ever use again. It might also
mean taking more credits if the student can’t schedule
his hours just right. There Is not one two-hour course
in any of the divisions.
By allowing a three-credit English course to count
for both the 103 class and a Humanities distribution
credit, we will be witnessing the demise of the 103
class and a shifting of students from other academic
areas Into the Humanities division, in trying to kill two
birds with one stone, the student will most likely take
an English course to make up for those extra
distribution credits.
What can we expect to see in the 1976-1977 school
year? There will be English majors struggling to learn
the wonders of chemistry, and chemistry majors
struggling to learn the wonders of English. We mustn’t
forget there will also be wheezing, out of shape blobs
not taking P.E.
Perhaps the best solution is to require a new math
class. It will teach every student how to win in the
distribution credits game.

By the Library Staff
“Rebirth of Feminism” by
Judith Hole and Ellen Levine, is
a documented record of the
reborn feminist movement and
the changes it has produced in
the consciousness of American
women — from the suburban
housewife pressuring her
Congressman about the Equal
Rights Amendment to the
radical feminist challenging the
“myth of motherhood.”
“Rebirth of Feminism”
presents in more than 500
encyclopedic pages a complete,
authoritative analysis of
today’sfeminism as a new kind
of ’ politics, morality,
psychology, economics,
theology — and a new way of
understanding human history.
It comes close to being an
entire women’s studies
program in one volume,
examining the impact of today’s
feminism in all its forms upon
every aspect of American
society including law, medicine,
biology, anthropology,
advertising, technolody,
sexuality, semantics (why is the
human race called mankind?),
journalism, education, and
what previous generations
considered the eternal concepts
of masculinity and femininity.
Key documents of the
movement (from the Seneca
Falls Declaration of 1848 to the
Bitch Manifesto) are quoted,
and some of the most important
are printed in full. The
relationship of feminism to the
anti-slavery, temperance, civil
rights, anti-war, new left and
gay liberation movements is
traced in detail.
In a revealing introductory
chapter, the history of feminism
in the nineteenth century is
restored (including the fight to
have the Fourteenth
Amendment mention sex as
well as race) and is also
corrected (especially the
textbook assumption that the
women’s goals began and ended
with suffrage).
Arianna Stassinopoulos’ new
book “The Female Woman”
received extraordinary reviews
in English newspapers.
Brilliant and provocative, this
book proposes the concept of
“the female woman” who
combines femininity with
intelligent individuality and
enjoys the fundamental
differences between men and
women.
The author believes that
Women’s Libbers are confused
middle-class intellectuals who
project their own neuroses and
hangups onto all women — and
thereby do great harm. In her
well-written and lively book,
Miss Stassinopoulos makes the
point that though men and
women may be equal, they are
certainly different. She says
that it is absurd to take the
position that the enormous
physiological differences
between the sexes have no other
consequences. Of course they
do. And these innate differences
mean that women are better at
certain tasks than men, more
comfortable in certain roles,
more like each other — as a
group—than they are like men.
The author believes in
women’s emancipation which insists on equalstatus and equal
opportunity for distinctly
female roles. Liberation, which
she scorns, forces women into
male roles and devalues
feminity. It makes women who
enjoy family life feel guilty and
glorifies the run-of-the-mill
nine-to-five job, at the expense
of a career in the home.
The author says: “Calvin
wanted to turn the world into a
monastery, while Women’s Lib
wants to turn it into an
orphanage.” What is so
glamourous, Miss
Stassinopoulos asks, about
working as a file clerk—even at
Ms magazine?
Furthermore, though
Women’s Lib sees men as a
highly privileged group, the
oppressors of women, the
author holds that man’s fate is
much more extreme than
woman’s. Men may be more
privileged some of the time, but
they are often more deprived.
Not only isit hard to be a man, it
is also harder to become one.
“The Female Woman” is a
powerful, controversial and
newsworthy book which needs
to be read by everyone
interested in the plight of
modern woman — and modern
man.
Thank you, Dr. Quast
With the conclusion of Spring Quarter 1975, Dr.
Werner Quast is stepping down as the host of Studium
Generale for the first time since its inception in the fall
of 1973.
Dr. Quast, the only leader Studium Generale has
ever had, Is leaving behind him a program that,
although only two years old, Is among the most
popular courses offered In the Peninsula College
curriculum, growing to more than 250 persons for each
session.
While teaching philosophy and political science fulltime here on campus, Dr. Quast is also Involved In
many outside activities that have begun to pile up on
him.
So, when someone new takes over Studium Generaie
nextfall, don’t compare him or her with Dr. Quast.
How can you compare something with the best?
Thank you, Dr. Quast, for a job well done.

Church to rebut evolution lecture
The Jehovah’s Witnesses will
present their side of the
“evolution or creation” picture
Tuesday noon, May 20, in the
Little Theater. Speaking on
behalf of the Witnesses will be
Elder Gerald Monson, a
qualified ministerfrom the Port
Angeles Church.
Anyone who was not at the
Studium Generale in winter
quarter when Mr. Art Feiro,
biology instructor, presented
the fundamentals of the theory
of evolution can still see that
lecture on tape in the library.
Anyone attending the Jehovah
Witness lecture may have it
counted as a make-up for
Studium Generale credit.
A look at the artists
Flesh Gordon- typical x flick
By JEFF BIALIK
Usually I wouldn’t waste my
time reviewing an X-rated sex
film, but “Flesh Gordon” is
unique from most other pornoflicks; it has a plot. All
similarities to an entertaining
film end there, however.
“Flesh Gordon’s” plot, shady
as it may seem, could possibly
be adapted into a rather
humorous movie, and perhaps
someday it will be.
From the planet Porno a sex
beam is creating havoc on
earth, turning the countryside
fun loving, fancy free and just
plain gross. To save earth
Professor Gordon’s son Flesh
travels to Porno along with a
scientist and a sometimes
clothed girl Flesh meets on an
airplane
Every aspect of perversion is
demonstrated on planet Porno,
and Flesh and his crew battle
such adversaries that could and
would turn anyone’s stomach.
The actors are typical of most
two-bit movies, and along with
the director, producer, and
cameraman, will remain
unnamed, as if to protect the
possible innocent.
Watching “Flesh Gordon,”
one gets the sudden urge to go
see a Walt Disney film, or run
down alleys kicking garbage
cans. The only logical purpose
“Flesh Gordon” serves is as a
cure for constipation.
“Flesh Gordon” is a perfect
example why films receive X
ratings, to keep out the children
who would realize how
ridiculous the “adults” really
are for wasting money on such
raunchy entertainment. In fact,
take away the ratings and
“Flesh Gordon” would
probably have to offer free
popcorn to fill the theater.
If you have only one X rated
film to see this year, go for the
Bogart reruns on late night TV.
If you must see “Flesh Gordon”
then go with an open mind,
empty stomach and don’tforget
the Pepto Bismol.

134 Students tour Victoria Saturday
The annual Victoria trip saw
134 students, staff, and their
guests visiting the streets,
shops, and pubs of the British
Columbia capital city Saturday,
May 3.
The event was simply an
inexpensive trip to Victoria.
The BOC arranged for a group
rate and allowed for partial
subsidization to keep the ticket
prices as low as possible. Ninty
people took advantage of the
Butchart Gardens tour which
included flowers and plant life
of every imaginable color and
size.
Six of the travelers biked out
to the Oak Bay Marina to see
the sea shows and walk through
the aquarium there.
The rest making the trip
simply took advantage of the
reduced fare for the ferry ride
and visited the city’s museums
and tourist attractions.
A highlight of the event was a
tour of the Provincial Museum
and a look at Canada’s past
history.
PC students, faculty in play
“The Good Woman of
Setzuan,” by Bertolt Brecht,
opens tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the
Community Player’s Playhouse
under the direction of Miss
Marjorie Avalon.
The play is the final
production of the Community
Players’ 1974-1975 season. Five
Peninsula College students and
six faculty members are in the
cast.
The students are Lee Cain,
Greg Owens, Mel Coring, Gary
Avery and Lisa Hitt. Another
PC student, Karen Corning is
prompter.
Faculty members in the play
are F. Ray Duncan, Leonard W.
Beil, Helen Farrington, Jack
Evans, Jim Lunt and Laurence
Welch.
The play is set in modern,
apolitical China. It involves the
search by three all-too-human
gods for some sign that
goodness still exists on earth.
The only person willing to offer
them shelter is Shen Te, a
woman of the streets, played by
Claire Sample.
Bertolt Brecht wished to
avoid what he called “culinary
theatre, which one soon
forgets.” He termed “The Good
Woman” “a parable for
theater,” enlightening as well
as entertaining.
Performances are Friday,
Saturday, Tuesday and the
following Friday and Saturday
at 8 p.m. A Sunday matinee will
be held May 18 at 2 p.m.
Advance seat reservations
may be obtained at the Odyssey
Bookshop.
SG features Jewish music,
Studium Generale May 15 will
feature a presentation ofJewish
music by Mrs. Bonnie Graves.
Mrs. Graves, wife of PC
computer technician Ted
Graves, says she is not Jewish,
but she sang professionally for a
Jewish Reform Temple in Ohio
prior to coming to the
Northwest. She also created the
United Air Force Academy
Jewish Cadet Choir.
Her program will include
some parts of Friday Evening
Sabbath services and some
Jewish folk songs.
Yesterday, May 8, Ross
Hamilton from Sequim
presented a slide show entitled
“Olympic Alps: Backpacking
Through the Seasons.” This
show was Mr. Hamilton’s first
attempt to combine sound with
this particular slide show.
He began his slides in the
spring, showing the back woods
of the Olympic Mountains. He
then moved up into the high
country as the summer
progressed. With the coming of
fall, he came back down into the
foot hills again. Some scenes of
the high country in winter were
also shown. He concluded the
program with a short montage
of various high country scenes.
All of the slides presented
were taken by Mr. Hamilton
during his travels over the last
six years.
On May 1, Rabbi Raphael
Levine made a return
appearance to Studium
Generale with a lecture on “The
Concepts of Freedom Under
Law in America.” He stressed
the values of the American form
of democratic goverment from
his point of view as an
immigrant. Out of the 189
responsesturned in, 155 persons
rated the lecture excellent.
Jerry Allen named IM athlete of the year
Jerry Allen, a history major,
was the unanimous choice for
this year’s Intramural Athlete
of the Year award.
Allen has participated in
almost every intramural event
this past year. He has been on
the winning team in football,
volleyball, badminton, basketball and free throw. He
also placed second in men’s
doubles and mixed doubles in
badminton.
Jon Livingston, P.E.
instructor, said: “He displayed
good sportsmanship and
promoted the intramurals. He
even refereed when we were
short.”
The intramural board has
recently decided to do away
with sex restrictions on the
volleyball teams. Previously,
teamshadto have four men and
four women. Now it makes no
difference. Livingston said,
“Many guys didn’t want to play
with the girls.”
In badminton Livingston and
Jack Estes teamed up to win
men’s doubles over Jerry Allen
andTom Adkins. Estes also won
first place in men’ssingles over
Tom Adkins, Jenny Smith and
Tom Adkins defeated Chris
Carlson and Jerry Allen in
mixed doubles. Women’s
singles was won by Patti Tuttle
over Linsday Schultz.
Deadline for intramural
horseshoes was May 6. The
horseshoe pits are located in the
field behind the gym.
Tennis started Monday with
10 men’s singles, four women’s
singles, and 14 mixed doubles
teams.
film series ends Monday
The last of the films of the art
series, “Museum Without
Walls,” is about the art forms
emerging from Germany and
Cuba. This final presentation
will be on Monday night, May
12.
The film on April 28 was an
interpretation of the
Impressionists, a look into the
style and changes in Monet, for
example. On May 5, the film
took on a bit of a change by
switching to a look at art
through architecture.
Since a season ticket is no
longer available, the price will
be |2 for adults and $1 for
students.
Quast attends seattle meet
“Voluntary action is to have
the opportunity to say no,” said
Dr. Werner Quast at the
conference held here April 12 on
the crisis in voluntary action.
Maybe that could have been
used by some of the speakers at
the state conference held April
26, in Seattle, because 60 of 200
participants were also
speakers. Dr. Quast thought
this was definitely too many,
especially as the conference
was only a day long. Dr. Quast
was one of the speakers.
As compared to Port Angeles,
where most delegates thought
there was a danger in too much
government intervention, many
delegates in Seattle saw
differently. In Port Angeles
there was almost a fear for the
individual whereas there was
not so much in Seattle, he said.
