Dilling and Simon elected prexys,largest voting turn-out ever
Sophomore Ron Dilling and freshman Chuck Simon were elected presidents of their respective
classes in the Peninsula College elections October 14 in the largest voting turn-out in the school’s
five-year history. t
Dilling, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Dilling of Port Angeles, will be aided in the administering
of sophomore class duties by newly-elected Vice-President Russ Dalton and Secretary-Treasurer
Lorraine Peters.
Freshman head Simon, son of Mrs. E. Camille Simon of Sequim, will be assisted by his VicePresident Mike McSherry and freshman Secretary-Treasurer Arlene Tjemsland.
Other election results showed that Donna Re ed, Lynda Franklin, Bev Snead, Shirli Rowe, and
Harriet Coventon were chosen
as cheerleaders for the 1966-67
academic year and George Niklason and Bill Steward were
elected pep promotors.
Women elected to posts were
Secretary Leslie Gentry and
BOC Representative Cecelia
Nite of the Associated Women
Students, and Secretary Jean
Hordyk, Treasurer Linda
Loucks, and Barbara Scott and
Karen Higbee, Point Recorders,
of the Women’s Recreation Association.
Student Body Vice-President,
Claudette Reandeau, announced that over 200 students attended the campaign assembly
on the afternoon of the elections,
and 180 attended the “Pirate
Night” dance that evening. The
results of the elections were
made public at that time.
Miss Reandeau also announced that over 200 students took
an active part in the elections in the capacity of voters, nearly
50% of the college’s total enrollment. The number of candidates, students at the campaign assembly, the number of
voters turning out, and the number of students attending the
dance, was the largest total
since this institution was inaugurated in 1961.
BOC Officers Outline Duties, Functions Goals in 1966-67
The officers of the 1966-’67 Student Board of Control have
officially announced the goals which they have established for
their administration during the academic year, as well as statements on the functions, duties, and responsibilities of the student
government as a whole.
In a recent conference, Board of Control President Steve
Orhman, Vice-President Claudette Reandeau, Secretary Linda
Dryke, and Treasurer George Braly touched on four areas of discussion: (1) the function of “any” student government, (2) the
duties of the individual officers, (3) how the student government
operates at Peninsula College, and (4) their goals for the upcoming
school year.
The functions of “any” student government, as such, includes
the following: to organize the enthusiasm of the students and
direct it towards constructive ends, develop the capabilities of
the students, conduct student affairs, organize all the activities,
and be a group representative of the school. Most importantly,
however, it is the “link” between the student body and the administration.
As President of the Board of Control, Orhman presides over
the weekly meetings, coordinates the duties of the other officers
and aids them if necessary, and is the student body representative
at inter-collegiate functions, meetings, and activities. As the
Vice-President of the B.O.C., Miss Reandeau is in charge of all
activities, is the chairman of the Activity’s Council, and is in
charge of all elections. As secretary Miss Dryke records the
minutes of the weekly meetings. Treasurer Braly is in charge of
all student funds.
At Peninsula College, eight votes are cast in any decisionmaking process. These people on the Board of Control who have
a direct vote are the freshman and sophomore class presidents,
both class representatives to the B.O.C., and all of the officers
with the exception of President Orhman. The eighth and final
vote is from the A.W.S. since it qualifies from the stipulation that
it involves more than 15% of the student body. Orhman casts
the tie-breaking vole if and only if a 4-4 split in voting results.
The goals which the Board of Control officers have established
for themselves are five-fold: (1) to plan fewer, but better, activities.
The emphasis will be on quality, not quantity; (2) to have more
enthusiasm and participation in election activity; (3) to establish
more communication between the student body as a whole and
the student body officers as a whole; (4) to establish better relationships between the college and the high school by planning
public dances intended for both age groups; and (5) to be of
community service by organizing PUB Forums, with the tentative
outline being films on the first and third Thursdays of each month,
lectures on the second Thursday, and the debating of pertinent
issues on the fourth.

Senator Magnuson Vital Cog In Law Establishment
(Editor’s Note: This is in essence a
letter received from Senator Abraham Ribicoff to all publication outlets on the college level in the state
o’ Washington.)
It has been called to the attention of college newspaper
editors in the stale of Washington of the outstanding work our
Senator Warren Magnuson has
been doing in regards to being
invaluable in the passage of
vital legislation.
The Auto Safety Act, passed
unanimously by the Senate, approved by the House of Representatives and signed in early
September of this year is considered to be a landmark of
consumer protection legislation.
It is stated that this affirmative
action in Congress would not
have been possible were it not
for the leadership and hard
work of Senator Magnuson.
From his first success in Congress, that of establishing the
National Cancer Institute, Magnuson’s name now appears on
more than 100 laws important
to our nation and its people.
During 1966 alone, Magnuson
was responsible for the introduction and passage of bills on
Humane Animal Care, Truth-inPackaging, Hazardous Products
Labeling, Tire Safety and Child
Protection.
Says fellow Senator Abraham Ribicoff of Magnuson’s efforts and successes in the United States Congress: “The American consumers have a real
friend in Senator Magnuson,
and I for one want to express
my thanks to the citizens of the
State of Washington for making
it possible for him to serve all
of the citizens of our nation.”
Peninsula Driving Students Face Parking Problems
Finding room to park is a
problem for many student drivers. About 400 student parking
permits have been issued, but
the present lot has accommodations for only 200 automobiles.
This results in many drivers
having to park in restricted
areas. This may lead to a fine
or the impounding of the car.
Fines will be issued to students parking on the north side
of 9th street in front of the brick
house (just east of Ennis Street).
Fines will also be given to students parking around the island
on the south side of 9th and the
north end of the parking lol.
Plenty of parking space is available on the north side of 9th,
west of Ennis street.
Many complaints have been
heard about the condition of 9th
and Ennis streets as well as the
parking lot. Peninsula College
has plans to pave these areas
in the near future. The lot can
be paved at a cost of $17,000
which will come out of the building fund. The $800 revenue
from the sale of parking permits will go to paint in yellow
lines and supply other minor
necessities.
The college also plans to double the present parking lot
westward. Most of the fines
issued so far have been warnings since they are issued to
students who haven’t mounted
parking permits. Only 2-3 dollars has been taken in through
fines.
President’s Board
MR. E. JOHN MAIER — Peninsula College President.
“This is the first year we have been able to operate on our own campus with
adequate facilities.
“After five years of sharing and often doing without proper buildings and space,
I hope that all of the students will take pride in their college and in the campus and
will participate in all the activities which we are now able to provide.”
MR. WERNER C. QUAST — Peninsula College Faculty President.
“The period of brick and mortar is coming to an end—a new period is dawning—
that of widening the academic and extra-curricular activities. The faculty and the
students will face new, and perhaps even more challenging tasks in the years ahead.
Their combined efforts will serve the students and citizens of this community and will
lend meaning and purpose to this institution.”
MR. STEVE ORHMAN — Peninsula College Student Body President.
“It seems surprising to me that the people at Peninsula who complain the loudest
are the same people who don’t do anything about it. The weekly B.O.C. meetings
are a good example of this. Every week the same faithful group of students attend
our meetings — little wonder why new ideas are seemingly lacking.
“If you have complaints or ideas, I urge you to attend our Tuesday meetings and
let us know. We, the B.O.C. officers, were elected to make this a good year at
Peninsula, but we can’t do it without your help.”
Its called “PICK THE WINNERS”
By BUTCH LUDKE
Baseball
It is perhaps almost cruel to reflect upon the past 1966 World
series in light of what happened to the defending champion Los
Angeles Dodgers, especially if your loyalties tend to drift toward
the National League champions.
The Baltimore Oriole sweep is not so much of a great Baltimoie effort or a sudden Los Angeles collapse as it is a combination of the two. Baltimore’s power was in actuality over-rated to
a certain extent (they only got three earned runs in the final three
games themselves) but their pitching was under-rated. The final
result was a rather accurate composite view of the American
League kingpins, however. They were strong.
The Dodgers, while not being noted for their over-aggressive
tendencies with the bat in recent years, proved worthy of the
reputation. One run-batted-in in four games is not exactly something to write home about. They were weak.
As for next fall, don’t be surprised to find the same two teams
in the annual classic. Baltimore is young and improving. Los
Angeles is still the best in the National and Will be again in 1967.
Only next year the ultimate outcome may be reversed.
College Football
As the football year nears mid-season, the annual powerhouses are once again leading the 200-odd major colleges to the
wire. Michigan State is currently pacing the field in both major
wire service polls, but I don’t think they will be at the top come
bowl-time. They have to play Notre Dame in their second-to-last
game of the year and the Fighting Irish will then prove conclusively that they deserve to be looking down on all the rest. They’re
only number two now, and you all know the bit about having to
try harder. They’ll succeed.
On the West Coast it’s UCLA and USC at it once again. They
have both had only one real test thus far, but they, too, will
collide in Los Angeles in the final game of the year. UCLA looks
much too versatile for the Trojans, so the Great Eight champion
and Rose-Bowl winning Bruins look to be in Pasadena on January
1 once again.
Pro Football
The issue is far from decided in either division of the National
or American Football League, but it looks as though Dallas will
meet Green Bay with New York taking on San Diego in the league
finals in December.
Green Bay has little opposition in the Western Division of the
N.F.L. but the Los Angeles Rams are staying up there. Dallas and
St. Louis are almost evenly-matched in the East, but the Cowboys
will eventually prevail.
The New York Jets and Joe Namath are riding on top in the
Eastern Division of the A.F.L. but are not the power they were
supposed to be. The Chargers are having to scramble in the
West this year but “the cream will rise to the top” so to speak
at the end.
As for the All-World Bowl in January, Green Bay will absolutely smother Namath and the Jets, that is providing the Packers
and the New Yorkers make it there through stiff play-off competition.
Boxing
Heavyweight champion Muhammed Ali has been inactive
for all of a month now, but plans to come out of his brief retirement in mid-November. He is scheduled to meet Houston s Cleveland Williams in that city’s astrodome on the 14th.
After Ali eliminates Williams and disposes of top-ranked Ernie
Terrell, the boxing game might as well fold up. What the public
will be subjected to are a run of re-matches, as there are no further
suitable matches after Terrell. Would you believe another AliPatterson match? Neither will boxing fans, but that is what is
shaping up. Then would you believe another Ali-Liston fight?
Sonny’s on the comeback trail. I didn’t think you would.
Pirates’ Home Debut Dec.1
New coach – New team
By Don Frey
The 1966-67 version of Peninsula College basketball team unveils on home court Thursday, December 1, as the Pirates host Olympic College.
The home opener will mark the debut of Dan Knowles as head mentor, successor to Bill Quenette. This game will be the first played in the recently completed college gymnasium, where all Pirate home games will be staged.
For Peninsula College basketballers, it will be another season of trying to get established
Coach Knowles figures to accomplish this and more. With four lettermen returning from last year’s starting line-up, the black and gold have a solid foundation for improving upon last season’s 9-18 posting. Jim Ward, Norm Carson, Tom Lyons and all-conference performer, Bruce Shamp, will be the nucleus for this seasons attack.
Also returning from last season will be Art Bell and Salvador Sacapanio. Fifteen freshmen make up the rest of the
Pirate hopefuls.
Offensively, the Pirates plan
to do a lot of running. With only
two prospects measuring 6-5
(Greg Mason and Bill Weinman)
Peninsula will have to rely heavily ont heir running game Knowles figures his charges to be good outside shooters. This plus the proven work of guys like Shamp and Carson under neath the backboards seems to give Peninsula a balanced offense.
On defense the black and gold will work with both the zone and man-to-man style, depending largely on the success
of one or the other as well as
the height of the opposition. To
help incorporate the fast break
and overcome their lack of
height, Peninsula will experiment with the press, both fullcourt and half. The Pirates will
have to fight hard for the rebounds and try to get position
especially against taller teams.
Peninsula College will have
the home court advantage for
most of the season, as 14 games
will be played in Port Angeles
(including the Holiday Tournament, December 28-29) while the
remaining 11 are out of town.
Twelve of the first 14 contests
will be at home for Peninsula.
Intramural Ball Now Operating At Peninsula
By DON FREY
For the football enthusiasts
at Peninsula College, an intramural program has been established to allow male students to
participate in the sport.
The program was organized
last year and carried over to
this year but with a different
format. Because there are only
four teams this year, the teams
face two double elimination
rounds, that is, any team has to
lose four games before it is out.
At present team number three
(names haven’t been selected),
headed by last season’s league
leading quarterback, Butch Ludke, rests on top of the heap with
a perfect 3-0 record. This team
is a carry over from last year’s
undefeated Devastators as several players with team three
also were part of the Devastators.
The teams were selected by
team captains drawing names
of persons signed to participate
out of a hat.
Theatre, Book review “The Coups [Sic] Runneth Over”
Who’s afraid of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wo olf? Three or more little prigs who would rather see no evil (Elizabeth Taylor), hear no evil (Adult Entertainment), or speak no good (“Who in the devil is Virginia Wo olf?”). For audience who are aware that love is a four-letter miracle, the film version of Edward Albee’s play is well worth the experience of seeing it spelled out. Enough has remains a masterpiece of situation tragedy, a superb plotting of love at a deadlock. There are some lines by a Russian poet, Vladmir Mayakovsky, Which could easily serve as the marriage song of George and Martha:
“To love means this:
to run into the depths of a yard
and, till the rook-black night,
chop wood with a shining axe,
giving full play to one’s
strength.”
At first appearance, Richard
Burton’s George seems like an
Ozzie Nelson with problems.
But he becomes a Clark Kent,
whose character is not milktoast,
but a steady diet of life-defying
“kryptonite”—in the voice and
soul of his wife Martha. To
twist this analogy, both of them
are superhuman, but only as
each other’s complement. And
until they have done their
worst, their total war, to become
just human, the coups runneth
over.
Richard Burton is nothing
short of Hamlet as the childmannered professor “preoccupied with history.” Most beautiful is his speech about the boy
who ordered “bergin”. A s
Martha, Elizabeth Taylor is surprisingly great. She plays an
American Amazon to a meatgrinding perfection, with a bitchery that is somehow bewitching.
As Nick and Honey, witnesses
and participants in this spiritual orgy, George Segal and
Sandy Dennis achieve a pitiful
stance beside the towering,
staggering figures of their hosts.
The cinema reviewer of Time
wondered why George and
Martha’s neighbors were not
aroused. He should have
known they didn’t want to get
involved. Like every great love
story, from Romeo and Juliet to
Dagwood and Blondie, these intellectual Bickertons have no
time or place. It is rather their
timing and placement that fluctuates, and destroys, and is
renewed.
The movie ends with soft music and hand-holding. But it is
not a happy ending, at least
not in the HollywoodKleenex
tradition. It is instead a relief
ending, something like waking
up from a bad dream.
