New Dorm is state’s first
On September 20, 1970, Peninsula College Dormitory officially opened its doors to students, to become the first junior college dorm in the state.
This attractive building on the Northeast corner of the campus houses 23 girls and 68 men at present. Because of the uneven ratio of women to men, the lower floor of the women’s wing has been assigned to men. A $625,000 loan from the Department of Housing and Urban development financed construction of the building.
Charles Reuger, an architect from Tacoma, designed the dormitory.
Construction was done by the DelGuzzi Construction Company of Port Angeles.
Mr. Jim Lunt, Director of housing, was responsible for getting the dorm ready for occupancy and is now in the process of obtaining furniture for the dorm lounge.
Mr.Lunt says he is “Very please so far” with the results of the dormitory living.
Mike and Linda Kesl are resident managers for the dorm. They live in the dorm apartment, ready to answer any questions or help dorm residents in any way they can on a 24-hour basis.
Students Ralene Johnson and Greg Spann are the resident assistants, helping Mr. and Mrs. Kesl.
Dormitory fees are $337 for the fall quarter, $312 for the winter quarter, and $302 for the spring quarter. There is also a $25 breakage charge with the unused balance to be refunded at the end of the year.
Included in the dorm fee is $12 per quarter for weekly linen service: sheets, towels and pillowcases.
Capital food service from Nampa, Idaho, Has the contract to feed the dorm residents.
Under the direction of the manager, Dale Wilcox, the staff serves the residents 20 meals per week. Meals are also included in the dorm fees.
As a special bonus, the food service also prepares refreshments for a dorm activity once a month.
Newly elected dormitory officers are Rick Shaw, chairman; Pat Dore, co-chairmen; and Sandra Walburn as secretary-treasurer. Pat will also be the dorms representative at BOC meetings.

Open letter from BOC prexy
Students:
This year Peninsula students have the oppurtunity to take part in building a social life here on campus. In the past years, a single dance once a month was enough of a social life. Now we have seen the need for more activities. We hope of vary the activities so they will not become stagnent, but rather, to add spice to life.
Your officers have added some activities mostly basic in their nature.
I have been approached by several students, asking what can we do to imrpove the social life here on campus.
It is our observation that students come, go to classes, then leave. There must be something to keep students here on campus . . . More activities.
When I ask them what they want, they dont know. So you see, we need ideas.
A listing of ideas is being set up in the BOC office. If you have any ideas, drop by and let us know.
Turning a little bit, this year is the first year we have full voting power on the following committees: Instructional counsil where we have three voting members, This coucil is responsible for taking a look and passing judgement on what courses will be offered.
Disciplinary committee is designed to hear the case of students and then make a reccomendation to the Dean of students. The Publications Advisory Board is responsible for watching the publications of students at Peninsula College.
All these positions are by appointment, if you are interested in any of these committees please contact me.
Our annual and newspaper could use some help in the way of someone spending some time with each issue.
As I sit writing this, a student comes up to me and asks about setting up a listing for used books. This would be a service set up and run by students. A simple listing would be made and presented at the beginning of each quarter.
This is a possibility to get the ball rolling; An idea, a minute to share the idea, and then finding out student reactions.
If you have anything you want to be known about wishes about campus life, stop by the BOC office and let one of the officers know. Remember if you dont do it, it wont get done.
