Art department plans openhouse
By DORIS FOURTNER
The art department will be having an open house in the painting and ceramic buildings,
Saturday, June 11 from 10 to 5 and Sunday from 1 to 4. Therewill be many examples of students’ work, with a continuous raku firing on Saturday. Raku firings are a rapid firing process where pots will be put in and out of the fire during the demonstration. Peninsula College’s art program offers courses in drawing, design, painting, ceramics and art history. The courses are sequential, so the basic courses should be started in the fall quarter with drawing and design, to get the most out of the program. Instructor Bill Merrill says the program is generally designed to help people become more familar with aesthetic techniques in the art process and learn to have more personal discipline. As defined by Mr. Merrill, art is the “prototyping of an individual’s thoughts and feelings into form.” He further explains, “Art can not be taught; only the way to art can be. Students often want to be told just what to do or will strive to please me instead of using their own creative, imaginative ideas and the ability to execute them.”
To be truly creative, a person does have to have a basic background in an art program, for, “the hands do not do the painting, your mind does through cooperation.” The art program at Peninsula has strong administration backing, with a good budget and well equipped art department. Classes in the art department are composed of students with an age span from just out of high school through retired age. Besides classroom instruction and actual working projects, the art department also has many field trips, including visits to galleries in Seattle, and artshops. Mr. Merrill says, “What students put into it will be what they get out of it. Those in the art classes just for credit may gain little from it. The real workers will find that the course can go on at all or any hours, not just the required classtime.” Mr. Merrill feelsthat the hard workers produce more than the specially talented, and he would “rather have 10 hard workers than one talented student.” He says an artists’ purpose is to give purpose. “Art is something for life, an exciting field which is very competetive,” he says. “Art is a major communication link even between countries.” Many art students from Peninsula go on to art schools and universities. One former student won first place at the Frye Museum Show, another held a one woman show at Haines Gallery in Seattle, and still another is now at the Kansas City Art Institute teaching an extension course after only one year there.
John Doherty to give talk
As of May 23, there were 213 sophomores on the list of graduating students at Peninsula College, according to Jim Lunt, director of student activities and in charge of graduation. Mr. Lunt expects between 145 and 155 of these students to participate in the graduation exercise Sunday, June 12, at 3 p.m. This year’s commencement speaker will be John Doherty, a local attorney who graduated from Peninsula in 1970. His speech is entitled “Seven Years; a Postscript.” The Rev. David Dennison of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will offer the invocation and the benediction.
PC President Dr. Paul Cornaby will present the diplomas and will also introduce Mr. Doherty. Every year a faculty ballot is taken to determine the outstanding male and female students, who will be announced at the ceremonies. The outstanding vocational student will also be announced at this time. The recipient of the Elsie Ware Meyer Scholarship will also be named at the graduating ceremonies. This is a $500 scholarship presented to a continuing student. Mrs. Meyer was a member of a pioneer family here in Port Angeles. Jim Lunt, director of student activities, was in the first graduating class in the old college building behind Port Angeles Senior High School, and this year is taking the task of planning the commencement exercises from Mrs. Margaret Spillane, who has headed the graduation committee in the past. Mr. Lunt was also one of two people from the class of ’63 to deliver addresses in 1973 at the celebration of Peninsula’s 10th year. Some other speakers of note were Sen. Gordon Sandison, who spoke on the development of community colleges in Washington; and Dr. Paul Cornaby, president of the college, who made a literary address last year.
Budget prepared for final check by trustees
The Board of Control will submit its 1977-1978 budget to the college Board of Trustees this month for final approval. The budget will be reviewed and revised in September after the instructional budget has been completed. Outstanding factors in the budget are the deletion of golf and VICA and the addition of the Day Care Center. The golf team was discontinued because of a lack of turnout thisspring. However, Dean of Students Art Feiro said if enough interest was shown it would be reopened.
The VICA club failed to turn in a projected budget and was therefore not allotted funds The day Care Center, which started this year, was added to the 1977-78 budget. It will be moving to the St. Andrews Episcopal Church and will expand on its program. The budget breakdown is as follows: General expenses, $3,000; BOC Booster Club, $400; publications, $1800; BOC printing, $2,200; BOC special events (films, trips, concerts), $3,300; Tidepools, $400; BOC social (dances and new activities), $2,900; drama, $1,000; music, $200; Day Care Center, $3,600; and intramural activities, $2,900. The sports programs are as follows: Women’s athletics, $4,607; men’s basketball, $7,818; and first aid supplies, $600. The athletic scholarship fund will be based on gate receipts.
Mausolf granted leave; 4 get summer stipends
One Peninsula College instructor has been granted a sabbatical and four others received summer stipends from the PC board oftrustees. Robert G. Mausolf, a Peninsula fisheries technology instructor who was recently selected as a member of the American Institute of Fisheries Research Biologists, was awarded a sabbatical leave at full salary for the 1977-78 year to do graduate work at the University of Washington. Mr. Mausolf says his degree project will either be the restoration of salmon runs on the Elwha River or the introduction of chum salmon into the San Juans. Four other Peninsula teachers received stipends of $500 each to further their educations. Jack Estes, a PC-English instructor, will study the art, history and techniques of film making. Mr. Estes will attend New York University or the University of California at Los Angeles. Arthur D. Feiro, dean of students and biological science instructor, will use his stipend to spend one month in Ireland and Scotland attending seminars at marine laboratories. Floyd F. Young, dean of instruction, will attend a summer workshop for academic deans at Simon’s Rock College in Massachusetts. W. Laurence Welch, an instructor of education, speech and reading at Peninsula, will attend Arizona State University for a five-week reading program. The Peninsula College sabbatical program is intended to “update and renew faculty skills for the benefit of students and the institution,” according to President Paul G. Cornaby. Dr. Cornaby says the program “is crucial to the continuing quality of education,” and that sabbaticals are “especially important in an institution which is relatively isolated from the main population centers of the state.”
Short week proposed
Paul G. Cornaby, Peninsula College president, has asked the college board of trustees to consider a four-day college work week for fall quarter of next year. Dr. Cornaby says the fall energy outlook is critical and estimates PC could cut power consumption by 20 per cent by having the power off for three consecutive days each week. He says if the plan were implemented, regular work days would be lengthened to make up los thours. Administrators and faculty of Peninsula have begun initial planning on the idea, according to Dr. Cornaby. He says a more formalized plan will be proposed to the trustees at their June meeting. Dr. Cornaby says students will be consulted regarding the plan.
Editorial
Applause,questions, and a thank you
Several events have stood out throughout this school year, 1976-77. We would like to reflect on some of these and applaud them; while others we still question.
First, the applause: .
Beginning fall quarter, members of the Peninsula
College community were able to enjoy and use the
remodeled library, now more aptly called the library
resource center. The spaciousness, the new typing and
conference rooms, the media center and the upstairs
study area are some of the library’s finest features.
A big congratulations is due to the Public Services
Committee and Marvin Pollard for reestablishing the
Studium Generale of years past. Their efforts have
produced some fine programs. In the future we would
like to see the series be made a credit course. If credit
were given as in past years, perhaps the programs
would be even better attended.
More applause goes to Bonnie Graves and the cast
and crew of “Destry Rides Again” for proving that PC
could do a musical and do it well.
In addition to the musical production, the two
dramatic productions, “The Emperor’s New Clothes”
and “The Silver Whistle,” were also successful, and
Jim Lunt should be commended for coordinating the
two plays.
Spring quarter 1976 most people thought that day
care at Peninsula was a joke and that its supporters
could never make it a success. Those skeptics were
proved wrong because of some dedicated people and
the quality day care they’ve produced. There were no
qualms about including day care in next year’s
budget. Congratulations for a job well done.
Fall quarter saw the first formal dance at PC in
several years. The dance, with a winter theme, wasn’t
as successful as hoped for, but we believe that next
year’s student government shouldn’t abandon the
event. Those who attended seemed to enjoy
themselves, and it’s a nice bit of nostalgia.
Lori Bundy, editor, and the staff of “Tidepools,” the
literary magazine, worked all year to achieve
recognition and put out a qualitative anthology of
poems, essays, short stories, photographs and
drawings. They produced a fine finished product. Perhaps the largest round of applause should be directed at the campaign to establish a no-smoking area in the PUB. President Ron Allen deserves a big thank you as the principal instigator of the project. The six planters arranged in the PUB are definite improvement to the student center as well as acting as partitions for the no-smoking area. Just last week some no-smoking signs were added. There is no question now that we mean business. We hope all non-smokers realize what a big step in the right direction the project was; we can now go back to breathing.
Now some questions:
All year there has been some concern about whether a finals week should be reinstated. There is a divided opinion on the subject. We feel, however, that because of many reasons, including the fact that most teachers still have big tests or “finals,” students are getting the raw end of the deal. Think some more about a special finals week.
This year’s Pete’s week was certainly a disappointment. The concept is a good one, but something was definitely missing from the supposed celebration. Perhaps in the future a big attraction or central event could entice a wider participation of students.
We were fairly pleased with the accreditation committee and their report. We still feel, however, that students should become an integral part of the report itself. They would be an asset to a more continuous and regular form of self-study.
The BOC, now called the ASC or Associated Student Council, had, for the most part an eventful, productive year. Among our only complaints would be that they never gave many sources for frustrated editorial writers! Thank you to Ron Allen, Scott Kenyon, Tanya Thorp and the entire board for a job well done. We would also like to wish Ron and Tanya good luck as next year’s president and secretary – treasurer. An extra good luck wish goes to John Nowak as the new vice president. In conclusion, we’d like to say thank you to Peninsula College for providing a place in which to secure good education,good times and lasting friendships.

Special issue set for fall
For the first time, the Buccaneer will produce a special edition for the fall quarter. The edition will describe students events and activities, services, library, bookstore,food system, student center, housing, placement assistance, finacial aid, veteran’s benefits, organizations, clubs, athletics system, and educational programs.
Co-editors of the special edition are Tim Merkel and Jenny Christensen.
Grade system may change
Changing letter grades to point averages to ease the difficulty in figuring a student’s grade point average could possibly happen here in about two years, according to Floyd Young, Dean ofInstruction. Mr. Young says, “The problem now is that we are in a consortium of about a half dozen schools whose gradesand registration data are processed at Seattle Central. They cannot create a uniform change compatible with all the colleges involved. Possibly with repeated requests it will be possible in two years.” The idea for the change was raised at a joint meeting of the BOC and the administration, and also had been raised at a statewide administrational meeting.
Mr. Young says the program could implemented if the change could be handled by the data processors without creating any significant problems. “The data processing centers would have to prepare the new programs and change records for the past three or four years. There would bemore than just a change for the currently enrolled student,” he says. The new grade point analysis would be arrived at more accurately and would eliminate rounding off grades because of pluses and minuses. This would provide greater precision for both the student and the teacher.
PC owes students good laundry service
A problem exists at Peninsula College which
appears to be detrimental to the interests of all parties
involved in the problem. That problem is the
inadequacy of laundry facilities in the PC dormitories.
The college dorm was originally built without
provisions for laundry facilities, and two utility rooms
were later converted Into laundry rooms, each
housing one washing machine and one dryer. With 100
students living in the dorm, each set of machines must
perform the heavy service of accommodating 50
persons. With such heavy usage, breakdowns are
inevitable, and James Lunt, PC’s director of student
activities, who also handles dormitory affairs,
estimates he has called for repair of the laundry
machines 15 times during the current school year. Mr.
Lunt claims, however, that many repairs are
necessary because students do not observe
regulations for items of clothing which should not be
used in the machines, such as light or small articles
which might foul the pump motor of a washer.
An aspect of the situation which complicates
mattersisthat the laundry machines are not owned by
the college, but by a local appliance dealer whose
intent is to operate the machines at a profit. The
college also receives a portion of the money made on
the coin-operated washers and dryers.
Because the machines are operated by a business
firm, it might be argued that the firm should provide
adequate service to its customers, in this case, the
residents of the PC dormitory. It might also be said,
however, that the college, is fulfilling its obligation to
ensure the welfare of students, has the responsibility
of providing laundry facilities which meet the
demands of the 100 dorm residents.
This present system seems to be a losing deal for
everyone concerned. The appliance firm involved is,
according to Mr. Lunt, sinking most of its would-be
profits into repair of the machines, and the college
profits from the enterprise are most likely dwindling
as students, who are caught in the middle, are forced
to take their laundry business elsewhere.
Clearly, changes are called for. For their part,
studentsshould respect the investment represented by
the laundry facilities by observing regulations
governing use of the machines, and by reporting
promptly any malfunction or difficulty experienced
while operating them. Ideally, the college should
provide the machines to be used for student laundry,
although as Mr. Lunt pointed out, the machines would
not then be serviced free of charge as is now the case. If not the machines, the college might at least consider providing facilities with which to accomodate more and larger laundry machines, machines which in that case, the local business firm should be encouraged to install.
Most of the weight, then rests on the shoulders of the institution which ahs an obligation to accomodate students; an obligation which, with respect to the dormitory laundry problem, seems to be unfulfilled.

Sports in retrospect
By John Nowak
It began as it ended, with an intramural activity. The first one was flag football; the last softball. But no matter how you look at it, the 1976-1977 sports year is drawing to a close. Following are my impressions of the past year in sports.
The first thing that stands out in my mind is tthe controversy over intramural soccer. For a time this was a big issue on campus at the beginning of the year. However, as the year progressed the interest in soccer declined, as did the controversy. About the same time there were many complaints on the new IM checkout system. This problem has yet to be resolved even though som progrss is being made.
Womens volleyball also began about this time. The women did their best this year and all had a good time. This year, perhaps for the first time people began to take this sport seriously. The crowds grew game by game and by the end of the season many fans had become addicted to this sport.
The Rookies won the football season, the Photons the turkey trot. The IM board was expanded to six members to try and beef up participation. The turning out everynight in the gym for informal basketball sessions. This was the beginning of the 1976-77 Pirates.
This year was a year of ups and downs for the Pirates. At times they showed greatness,knocking off the league leaders. At others the best that they could muster was lackluster. Some individuals provided the Pirates with stellar play but somehow the Pirates lost the key to victory near the end of the season.
IM basketball had its usual high participation level, probably the IM’s most successful sport this year. However there was a controcersial rule change that may change the future of IM basketball. Next year no two players of a team from any other league can compete on an IM team. This year’s champions would be disqualified if that rule were in effect this year.
Lack of snow became an important factor to winter sports enthusiasts this year, and skiers and snowshoers were frustrated to no end. Finally at the end of the winter quarter some snow fell and the situation improved.
Women’s gym nights sprang on the scene due to the effort of some enthusiastic women on campus. However after a few weeks the novelty of the idea wore off, and women’s night became a waste of space.
With the appearance of women’s tennis, some of us noticed that something was missing: Men’s golf. This year marked the end of men’s golf, bringing a disproportion in men’s and women’s athletics.
Women’s tennis, on the other hand, seens to be going strong. This year’s team had many fine individual performances,including a couple of competitors at the state meet.
The IM board changed its ruling about the chairperson. Next year the chairperson shall be elected from the membership of the committee. It also began a series of discussions of eligibility. However the IM board also seemed to lose energy as the year went on, and failed to meet in spring quarter.
IM sports were continuing, and many of the individual sports took place at this time. Badminton and bowling are examples.
Ex-Peninsula star Bernie Fryer was named to succeed Don Huston. Fryer played in the NBA for a short while and might be able to give the Pirates a new dimension that hasnt existed before.
Intramural volleyball and softball set records for participation. Volleyball fielded 13 teams and when the results came out, people began to realize that PC had a pretty good IM program.
The sports scene at Peninsula began to change with some decisions that are in the making at this time of change to equalize to meet Title IX. And the IM program. At the same time Jon Livingston was elected to head the washington Intramural Association. Near the end of the year, Jim Foyston was elected IM athlete of the year, and seems to be one of the most popular choices of the IM board.
Peninsula is on the verge of a new era in sports. This year was an indication of those changes. The energy crisis, Title IX, changing attitudes about competing are the reasons. But regardless of the reasons, these two years will be the key in the developtment of sports, and the decisions are very important. I only hope that we have the wisdom to make the right choices.
Returning pirates
Strong cage team foreseen
Next year the Peninsula Pirates have a lot to look forward to. For the first season in a long time they have an excellent group of sophomores returning to the squad. First of all there is the 6-1 soph from Forks, Eric Stohl.
Stohl had an excellent year for the Pirates this year. He shot 42 per cent from the field But his greatest abdity is to shoot in streaks, When Eric is)ibt you better look because he can really hit. Next is Rob Sande, the Pirates’ leading scorer this year with 283 points. He averaged 11.8 per game. Rob is a super fast guard who tan do it all. He can drive to the hoop or shoot from the outside,’and has a quickness that is deceptive. On defense Rob can stay within any opponent all the way to the
basket. Ron Sather is returning to give the Pirates another year of solid performances. Roh is the Pirates most versatile man. At 6-1 he was third in rebounds for the Pirates. He plays ;a jsteady brand of defense that never lets up. But Ron’s strong point is his consistency. Finally, there is Peninsula College’s “Mr. Hustle,” Rick Davis. Rick gave Peninsula fans something to see this year with his amazing dives, falls and leaps. Rick also led the team in assists with 104. Rick plays the kind of ball that is fun to watch. He is never still during a game. He is all over the court. With returnees like that, the future of Peninsula basketball looks pretty good. However, lack of height must be considered. This problem, one that always seems to effect Peninsula, might be hjelped by recruiting. But for the final results we will have to wait till the last game next year..
Undefeated team gets victory
Last Friday the intramural volleyball playoff was held in the PC gym, with the Thawkums, who were 11-0 before entering the match, becoming the champions of intramural volleyball competition by defeating the Beautiful People 11-15,15-8 and 15-11. In the first game the Beautiful People came out serving strong and played a nice serving game helping them to win 15-11. During the second game the action picked up with play extending over into the next court. Jon Livingston was seen sprinting after a high lobbing ball toward the opposite comer of them gym. The effort was futile. Then Jeff Kendall began serving for the tough Thawkums. His accurate serves penetrated the Beautiful Beople’s defense effortlessly, driving the score to a commanding 14-7 lead. The Beautiful Peoplemade a gallant stand at the net regaining the serve, and brought the score to 8-15. But the Thawkums defense held, Jon Livingston went flying through the gym doors, and the Thawkums went on to win 15-8. By thistime the crowd around the game had grown and the play became more intense. Soft backhand shots by the front line and tough serving took the Thawkums to a quick 4-0 lead. Jeff Kendall and Larry Wood were sprawling headlong on the court making outstanding returns, to the exhilaration of the standing crowd. The Beautiful People were tense and made costly errors, boosting the score to 5-0 for the Thawkums. But they lost the serve and Beautiful People made some sets that led to sizzling unstoppable spikes by the front line, tying the score at 5-5. The action was fast and
tough at the net. Jim Foyston received a spoke in the face, momentarily stopping the action. Then an excellent diving return by Larry Wood and hard spiking carried the lead to 7-5 in favor of the relentless. Thawkums. After both teams accumulated some points, Larry Wood served for the Thawkums, winning several points to stretch the lead to 11-7. But beautiful People came back again with hard slams and effective net blocking,: making the score 9-11. At this point the whole gym was hushed and the energy of the game mounted as both teams battled for, the advantage. The score went to 11-11, then 12-11. But the game began to. go to the Thawkums. Jon Livihgston of the Beautiful People who had made several soft net shots in the. earlier going, began slamming the ball out at critical moments: Larry Wood sealed the game with well placed spokes, low and hard and , beyond the, defenders’ reach. So after one hour and five minutes pf high sets, i tough slamming; and sprawling returns, the Thawkums became the champs and holders of the volleyball, competition trophies for 1977. Student Standout
Pat Murphy recalls Army nurse career
By JEFF JOHNSON
Most people after serving over 27 years in the U.S. Army would retire and take life easy. That’s not the case with Pat Murphy, a remarkably active retired Army nurse who is a student here. Ms. Murphy was born in Boston, Mass., and lived in Newton and Cape Cod. She attended school in Europe from 1934 to 1936, where she was educated in Italy, Austria and Spain. “While in Rome I used to see Mussolini giving speeches on balconies. This was when the facists were in power,” she recalls.
She also remembers what it was like to attend school in Spain during the period of anarchy priorto the Revolution. “My sister and would attend school and every morning we never knew what group would be in control in our area that day. One morning it would be the monarchists, the next the socialists, and the following morning the Communists. Marines from the Spanish navy would guard the school,” she says.
After graduating from high school Pat went to college for a while, then into nurse’s training. Upon graduating from that she took her state board exams and joined the Army in World War II. She wasstationed in England and France during the war, and immediately following it was in Germany with the Army of the Occupation. She wasreassigned to San Francisco but went back to Germany in 1948. She remembers “in June of ’48, the monetary exchange went from military scrip to the German mark. For weeks before this change, the shop windows in Munich were empty of goods. Everything before this had been bought on a barter system. The week after the change things came piling into the shops; the atmosphere seemed to change overnight.” She visited Garmisch and Borchtesgaden, called the Eagles Nest, which were being rebuilt as U.S. Armed Forces Recreation Centers. She still sees some German friends in the area. “In fact,” she says, “some of the footage for the film ‘The Sound of Music’ was filmed near where they live.” Upon being sent back to the U.S., Ms. Murphy wasstationed at Fort Sam Houston in Texas and also finished college and received her B.S. in nursing. She was assigned to the Far East in 1956, and in 1959 was stationed at Fort Lewis. That year she bought some property in Gardiner and has been a registered voter in Jefferson County since 1960. She picked the Olympic Peninsula because “I wanted to be near the green mountains and close to the blue sea. Thisis the place.”
Then Pat was assigned to Alaska where she was in charge of field medical units for three winter maneuvers, from January until April each year. “We took care of both sides in the maneuvers,” she says. “Sometimes we tried to set up our hospitals in weather that was 76 degrees below zero. Sometimes in a tent with a fire it would get up to minus 30. She was the only woman with the group most ofthe time. Some of her other experiences with the Army included a stint in Fort Sam Houston studying military science. “I was one of two women in a class with 115 men. We studied strategy and tactics as they concerned medical units—it was very interesting.”
In Alaska she did research on clothing and equipment and sent her comments to Washington, D.C. Pat also was assigned to the Surgeon General’s office, where for 6% years she did research to improve medical supplies and equipment. Some of her projects included better sterilization methods, longer shelf life for pharmaceuticals, and she worked on new power units and shelters for field medical centers. “We overhauled every section of a field medical unit; we modernized every section of a hospital, which was done just in time for the Vietnam buildup,” she recalls. In 1967 Ms. Murphy made two trips to Vietnam to inspect the field medical installations, and in 1969 as a full colonel, she made another trip for the same reason. This trip even included visits to the battalion aid station in the combat zones. She spent some time with troops in the “line” companies and got along with them fine. From December 1969 to February 1971 she was appointed the Chief Army Nurse in Vietnam and was assigned to the Headquartersstaffthere. Ms. Murphy retired in April 1971 and has been residing in Dominion Terrace since then. She is gone a good part of the time though, asshe hastraveled
to South America, Alaska, and taken a 12,000 mile trip around the U.S. She has also been to the Middle East, Russia, Greece and the Balkans. Last year she went around the world, and this summer plans to visit the Scandinavian countries and see her friends in Germany. Pat attended Peninsula in the fall and winter of 1975-76. She then traveled to California and Florida, then returned here this spring. She is taking business courses “because it’s something I haven’t had before,” She feels that travel is a part of education. “After seeing so many cultures the one common denominator is the Golden Rule, and it isn’t always easy to live with or by,” she says. Pat Murphy is not so retired after all. She’s been traveling since she was 11 years old and hasn’t slowed down at all. “I’ve been on the go ever since. The most important thing about my travels and experiences is that you learn not to be confused with people’s looks, what’s important is what they know, and above all what they can do,” she declares.
Merkel,Christensen named next editors
Tim Merkel, currently associate editor of the Buccaneer, has been named editor for the 1977-78 school year. Accompanying him next year will be Jenny Christensen, filling the associate editor spot. The appointments were announced this week by Earl Clark, publications adviser. Tim has had three years of high school journalism experience, writing for the Port Angeles High School timberline. In high school he acted not only as reporter, but as photographer and a page editor. On the staff of the Buccaneer he has also been a reporter and a photographer. In Spring quarter he was selected as an associate editor. Tim’s career goals are centered around the communications field, and with some newspaper experience he would like to become involved in other branches of communications. He says he enjoys journalism and in comparison with other subjects,“I seem to get along with journalism OK.” After graduating from Peninsula he hopes to attend either Western Washington State College or the University ofWashington. Jenny also worked on the staff of the Port Angeles High School paper, but gotherstartin junior high as a page editor and assistant editor of the annual. In Jenny’s senior year at Port Angeles she was yearbook editor. This year she has worked on the Buccaneer as a reporter, photographer, and spring quarter as an associate editor. She comments that she and Tim have the advantage of already knowing many of the students who plan to be on next year’s staff. Also in thinking about next year, she says she anticipates a different angle on sports, undoubtedly with more women’s coverage. She also hopes to broaden editorial topics.
Loan fund gets contributions
Dean of Students Arthur Feiro announces that PC’s loan fund for students in the Associate of Applied Science degree registered nurse program has received a total of $600 in contributions, including $400 from the Olympic Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and $200 from the SequimDungeness Hospital Guild. Mr. Feiro said the National Institutes of Health will give 80 to 90 per cent matching funds in contributions, so it is possible for PC to have about $500 for scholarships, and $5,000 available for loans. Interest rates for the loans are low, and the loans are awarded depending on students’ needs. The college cannot use its operation funds for scholarships, and must depend on outside contributions for its nursing program. The hospital has been helping the nursing program forsome time.
Job office aids students
With the summer job hunting season upon us, Sue Hammond, Peninsula College student councilor, says the best chances are in the tourist-related industries. She said she has had calls for camp counselors, cooks, housekeepers, restaurant help and many others. For statewide jobs there is a listing in microfisch in the college library career center. She said it’s not too late to come and talk to her about job hunting. “People who are persistent and flexible have the best results,” says Ms. Hammond. She added that she would be on campus during the summer if people would like to talk to her then.
Welding work done for track
The Peninsula College vocational education department has recently been working on a project in cooperation with the Port Angeles Community Track Association. PC welding student Chester Hillstrom made a metal frame which will hold a plaque engraved with the names of persons involved in the creation of the community track. Donations of persons listed on the plaque were responsible for the construction of the recently completed track complex, which would have otherwise cost the school district about $150,000, according to PC Vocational Education director Leonard W. Beil. The plaque and frame will be placed at the track site near PortAngeles High School.
