Political coming of age
By Duanz Anderson
It would be utterly ridiculous for anyone to say that today’s youth is not concerned with the politics and policies of this country. the demonstrations against the Nixon’s administration’s policies in Vietnam and Cambodia these past months and more recently these past few weeks bear this point out quite clearly.
Also I believe it would be correct to assume that this concern arises as a product of being informed no matter how misinformed you believe others may be.
Clearly there had to be some sort of feeling in literally thousands of students to spark such a passionate response to President Nixon’s announcement concerning Cambodia.
Demonstrations were formed overnight all across the nation the climax of which was the anti-war rally in Washington, D.C., on May 9th. The political and moral awareness displayed was, to this reporter, heartening.
This political consciousness that is constantly displayed on a grand scale by the youth of the country truly cannot be passed off by any as a popular whim or fancy. It seems apparent to me that the precedent or trend has been set and that trend can not be turned back by any official no matter what his status.
The same trend can be observed in history.
The early 1920s marked the political ‘coming-of-age’ of women; an irrecersable trend that climaxed in 1922 with a change of the Constitution that allowed them into the political system. So it is today with the segment of the population under the age of 21; and so it has been since the latter aprt of the 1960s.
To dispute the point that this particular segment has not politically come of age seems to me to be an idle intellectual exercise that accomplishes nothing but a tired tongue and brain.
The youth of today and here after will not be put off with vague promises and reassurances by those in political power.
The women prior to 1922 were not satisfied that the men in power were doing the best job and surely no one would argue that today’s youth under 21 are satisfied with “that goverment’s” performance.
Truly the only thing to be done is to change the Constitution, attitudes, and thinking so that the term “that giverment” becomes “my goverment” for that segment of the population that demands recognition and satisfaction.
To accomplish this particular change in policy and attitude obviously means absorbing that segment into the political system totally as was done in 1922 and post-1922 years for women.
One question remains: “What will happen if this absorption into the political system does not take place?” Again the answer is obvious: the tear gas will remain, the protests will remain;along with the chemical mace, the billy-clubs, the violence and most assuredly the killing and hurting; not to mention a large segment available as possible candidates for the growing ranks of the revolutionary movements.
Fortunately or unfortunately along with the ‘political coming of age’ comes the right of revolution that Henry David Thoreau refers to in his essay “On Civil Disobedience.” It seems pointless to argue whether this ‘right ‘ should or should not exist.
The fact is that for every nation is this world the right of revolution by repressed peoples looms ever present int he background and is the very real threat that keeps even Communist countries in check to a degree.
Nothing short of mass genocide can stop total revolution by the citizens of a nation and probably complete mass genocide could not be implemented.
The change in the Constitution when it occurs to enfranchize the under 21 age segment is probably the easiest change that will be made.
The attitudes of the masses of people to accept the ‘political coming of age’ of this segment is and will be the largest barrier to surmount, simply because the status quo attitudes have not been challenged for centuries. Obviously the attitudes must change, and given enough time for our political system to exist, the attitudes will change.
Kent state rally held
By Steve Jones
Last Sunday a small number of citizens joinred a memorial rally for the four slain Kent State University students. The purpose of the rally was two-fold:
(1) Honor in prayer the memory of the four students, Allison Krause, Jeffery Miller, Sandy Lee Scheuer and William Schroeder.
(2) To bring the incident to the minds and voices of all of us, so that we would re-consider the direction and attitudes of our country.
Whether we feel that the slaying of four students was unacceptable and deplorable act or it was justified, we simply must ask why. How do we prevent such confrontations and how do we solve the problems which prompted these students to demonstrate in the first place. We must question ourselves, which ever side we take, to find a meeting ground where the divisions in this country can be bridged.
The problems will not be solved by the loudest voice.
This rally was not Anti-war as I personally supported the Cambodian intervention. What this rally sought to accomplish was only partially achieved, and it will not be achieved until people cease talking to people and start talking with people; there is a difference.
Killing is a serious business and it is the most final way of solving a problem. Life is priceless and killing is rarely justified.
The actions in Ohio didnt solve anything, but they created even more. If we tolerate random shooting in this nation, where will it end.
Bowes wins
Next year Board of Control officers were elected Friday,may 7. Pre-election day activities were mild with little discussion of the coming event.
Next years President Mark Bowes ran a quiet campaign noted with an absence of signs, asked about this, Bowes replied, “If there arent any signs then everyone will ask where they are, thus promoting my campaign. If they see the signs posted then they dont question.”
Apparently the word spread as Bowes won easily over Scott Whittcott winning 106 of the 198 votes cast of 57 percent.
The voting turnout of students represented only 36 percent of the student body. Last fall, for comparison, we had over 50 percent turnout.
Bowes’ main concerns for the next year will be the dormitory,lessening WACCSG activities and trying to do perhaps the difficult job of filling the shoes of John Doherty.
BOARD OF CONTROL OFFICERS
1970-71
President, Mark Bowes.
Vice President, Lynn Risberg.
Secretary. Michelle Angtuli.

WE
By Elaine Brager
The sociology 210 class has been meeting like a normal, regulation, all american class for the first few weeks of this quarter, but no more. Yes, we the students of Sociology 210 are revolting. (?) We will no longer sit idly twittling our book covers and listening to five normal lectures on five dull days a week. We will no longer take quizzes or tests or repeat empty knowledge merely for the sake of a meaningless grade or score.
The great thing is – the leader of our new revolt is none other than Mr. Fite, who sidelines as instructor of Sociology 210. Perhaps it is because he is tired of listening tot he round table discussions of his students five days a week, or perhaps because he realizes what an instructor should be in a true learning situation: A guide for individual exploration – a leader of a rebelion? Perhaps.
We are not going to sit in, march on, or drop out of anything. The Sociology 210 students, which from now on we will refer to as “We” for the sake of rebellion and column space, are going out into the field.
Yes, believe it or not, the rebelious demonstration will be to work with a local socialagency eight hours a week to help out anywhere needed. We will meet once a week with supervisors and fellow workers to discuss past and future movements and strategy.
By the end of the quarter We will all have diversified experience in social problems and We should have some lively sessions to try and hammer out and mellow our dangerous bits of knowledge before We can use them destructively.
A term paper, due at the end of the quarter, should deal a final, conventional death blow to any rebelious spirit left, so We will again be safe for society. Thsi is the hope of the established line of EDUCATION which requires Mr. Fite to attach a grade to our record, anyway. But that is another story . . .
Who knows, someday WE may be instructors.
Concern about enviroment
Remnants of the P.C. Enviromental Counsil met in SS1 on Thursday, May 7.
The main business accomplished was the writing of letters to congressmen,attempting to influence or move legislation.
Mr. Tisch and Mr. Sargent wrote to Senator Jackson advocating S3129, a Senate bill to designate the Hell’s Canyon portion of the Snake River as part of the National River System.
Mr. Miller wrote Sen. Jennings Randolph urging that S3401-S3408, Legislation which would ban eight of the most persistent, toxic pesticides, be heartily supported and passed.
You may think that a few concerned citizens can save your enviroment for you. HA!!! Youre wrong – youre going to get it int eh end (and the lungs,liver, eyes, ears, and throat)!!! Show your concern politically, the only effective way:Join the Envioment!!!
Individual Effort
By Steve Jones
I think it is the responsibility of each of us to examine, and to re-examine our daily opinions and views. I feel this is necessary in order to base whatever action on an issue we take.
For example, examine closely the youth of today. Since the easrly 60s a new style of youth has emerged. Youth are as varied as they are many. They are concerned and inspired.
They seem more willing to set aside personal gain for personal pride;they challenge the problems; they seek the adventure of fulfilling America’s dreams for all her people.
They seek excellence in the quality of their society, their belief, their goverment. They deplore dishonesty, rhetoric and violence. They quest for long needed reforms in reconciling varied divisions, in this nation.
They are different, to a degree, to their parents’ generation which sought affluence over ideals and security over moral courage, and they are willing to face the injustices of the country.
I find it difficult to find that landing a man on the moon is a triumph while millions live in poverty. Yet the young people are also hypocritical when they seem all men in goverment as self-seeking opportunists, condemn all college administrators and employ violence to protest violence in Southeast Asia.
Often they are content to believe only what they want to and they are quick to form opinions that are often intolerant to reasonable conflicting views. I think the solutions to solve problems come from all levels. The following are five steps I use and urge you personally to consider.
(1) Re-examine your personal goals and opinions.
(2) Discuss these with people of all levels. Dont look for those who just agree, rather to those who disagree. I feel that wisdom and understanding is the child of conflicting views.
(3) Become involved in political campaigns on all levels. Make your views known to them. They are responsible to the voters. Dont just wait till the Presidental years; you’ll be too late.
(4) Try to findd a common ground with the races, the generations, the educated and the un-educated.
(5) Become involved with the issues and remain versed on them. Resolve yourself to solve problems, not simply contain them.
A comment on youth
By April Douglas
A spring quarter draws to close at Peninsula, many students who graduate this June are beginning to think earnestly about what lies ahead for them, their families, their nation, and their families, their nation, and the world. there seems to be much fear held by many of these young citizens – not only from Peninsula College, but from other colleges and high schools throughout our nation as well.
Fear of disunity, fear of death, fear of inhumanity among men, fear of destruction and loss of basic necessities for life, fear of insecurity – all of these and more become imbedded within the mind and heart of the young people who will soon inherit America’s leadership and maintenance.
Many parents and peer groups tend to lose hope in today’s youth, or tend to condemn them for a variety of mixed and at times, odd reasons. Old societal standards have placed so many false and generalized stigmas on young people as a whole that now they are considered in many areas as a violent disease speading destruction and infesting the country with Communistic plots.
This is not a true picture. The scope of the situation is bemuddled with stigmas, inaccurate accounts, sensationalistic interpretations, and violence on many campuses across the nation.
The truly non-violent, the intelligent, the responsible youth rarely seem to make the headlines and become overshadowed by mouthy extremists. Every one gets a slanted picture. The youth have a sense of conviction and an endurance to weather the storms of society – to meet the problems point blank and openly, to clean house and sweep out the dust that has been collecting for years – this is what the young people are doing, and they wont stop until it is done.
The real fear is in how it is done. Violence solves nothing- everyone knows that. Every one except the warmongers and the frustrated ones who have been pushed beyond the endurance point and who become tools for the warmongers’ games.
Radicals, it appears, are most often frustrated idealists who can see no conenction between their goals and reality and resort to extreme tactics in a short sighted effort to gain instant utopia. And why should anyone expect something for nothing?
The fears and anxieties of the young people may lead this country ( and perhaps the entire world) into a spiral of discord or down a path of unity, reconciliation, and peace. Meanwhile, the world stands alert, awaiting and answer.
Letters to the Editor
Buccaneer
If I had one wish in the world, I think it would be to live out my life in peace.
If someone would show me where there was a quiet spot, isolated fromt he world, where perhaps I might live, I’d sell my soul to be there now. I’d be lonely then, but at peace.
Instead I am hiding. Wondering what to do, where to go, who to ask for help. I need help. And I’ve gotten it in some small way. Some friends have been kind; helping me to hide, giving me time to think things out. Time and kind words to help me see that the decision is really mine. And to see that no one else helps me make it.
If I am going to live with myself, I must come to a decision soon. And way down deep I am afraid, for I know what decision I must make. I must refuse induction and quite possibly go to prison.
If this offends anyone ( and I’m sure that it will) I am deeply sorry. Others will read this latter and call me a fool; I apologize. Each person who reads this latter will see in it what he wants to. A few perhaps will read it and remember it and a very few may write one like it.
Someday perhaps there will be a need to.

P.S. If the wealthy cooked food in lead-lined pots in Rome as you state ( Buccaneer, Enviroment Issue), there would be none left as they would all die of lead poisoning.
I have been unable to find (with one exception) any statement that lead salts are sweet.
Lead acetate is known to all chemists and pharmicists as sugar of lead. This substance could be made when the obcients fixed food with vinegar ( a cetic acid) in lead containers.
The times, they are a-changing
Who could possibly know or guess in 1961 Dylan was prophesying in his song “Times they are a’changing” the dawn of a youth movement such as the one that is culminating nine years later in 1970. To some in this generation Bob Dylan was an off beat folk singer that would pass the time like most of the popular singers no matter what the caliber. The march of time has borne this out clearly, but his poetic words still linger to become a vehicle of communicatior. That takes little energy to interpret and understand. Read his words and refer to last week.
Come gather round people whereever you roam,
and admit that the waters around you have grown
and accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a’changing
Come writers and critics
Who prophecy with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance wont come again.
And dont speak too soon
For the wheels still in spin
And theres no tellin’ who
That its namin’
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a’changing
Come senators, congressman
Please heed the call
Dont stand in the doorway
Dont block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside
And it’s raging
It’ll soon shake your window
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a’changing
Come mothers and fathers,
Throughout the land
And dont criticize
What you cant understand.
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a’changing
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now will
Later be fast.
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a’changing.
-Bob Dylan.
Save the children
By RICK
As a hospital corpsman who spent two tours in Vietnam, I can attest to the fact that this following letter captures fully the stomach turning sensation one feels each time he works in an emergency room or receiving area in Vietnam.
Consider the following, taken from one of many recent reports from Quaker workers in the Quang Ngai province: “How can I tell you what it was like! These people coming in filthy,with glazed looks, numb. Nobody talking, nobody drying and the sounds of furious battle not yet ended pursuing them in the door. The emergency room floor still covered with blood from yesterdays casualties, smelled in the heat of the day and was oppressive. . .
“One little fella of ten or so, shot in the face. Three bullet or fragment holes int he back and buttocks, one of which had exited through his abdomen, the others lodged somewhere.
He, like most of the others, came in lying in a pool of blood. Feces and ground up bits of bone were flowing out of the buttocks wound. Vomitus ran from hsi mouth and mixed with the blood pouring from the face wound.
“We worked with him for a long time but his chances are slim. He was in shock (most of them were) and struggling to get up from time to time, at times opening his eyes wide to beg for water or complain of the pain in his belly and then lapsing into unconsciousness. His father stood by silently, grief written all over his face.
A girl,maybe seven years old, with a head wound and skull fracture. Also major portions of one foot missing. Mother and grand mother crying quietly while trying to help us dress the wounds.
A mother lying on a stretcher on the floor smeared with blood and with her infant lying silently on her chest. The baby also covered with blood and I never saw it move.
I’ve seen all this before! Why can’t I get used to it? Each lifeless form,every scream of anguish, each blank stare of those who have suffered too much strikes pain in the pit of my stomach. Are there really those who those who can look at a scene like this and not suffer with the people?”
Well, I’ve seen it all before too, and my answer to his last question would ahve to be YES: All the “Bomb Hanoi” nuts, all those “Silent Majority” Americans who are all for continuing the war, and all those fools supporting Nixon’s latest blunder into Cambodia.
Peace.
Mother-daughter tea is last activity
The traditional AWS Mother – Daughter tea was held in the student center on May 10 from 2 p.m. to 4p.m. Almost 200 mothers and their daughters attended the tea, the decorations of which centered around the theme “Elusive Butterfly.” Cake,Punch, coffee and other refreshments were served at the occasion.
AWS President Liza Partridge began the tea by wishing all mothers a happy Mother’s Day and then introduced Peninsula College President E. John Maier who gave a short welcoming speach. AWS Vice President April Douglas then moderated a colorful fashion show presentation. Loungewear, casual and sportswear, a maxi coat, and some stunning formal fashions were modeled among other garments donated for showing by the downtown apparel stores. Background music for the tea was provided by Tom Coffey who served as pianist. After the fashion show, Woman of the Quarter awards were announced. Dana Rygaard, a freshman this year, was announced Woman of the Quarter for fall. Winter Quarter selection was Sophomore Debbie Keeting and Woman of the Spring Quarter was awarded to Gloria Hoffman. All three of these girls offered outstanding work in various AWS activities during the year.
Mothers and daughters were then invited to socialize with other guests and have refreshments.
The entire program credit to the AWS tradition on the PC campus. This tradition will end when this year’s officers leave, since no one ran for any AWS offices this quarter during election week. Liza and April have enjoyed this years leadership, and they, along with advisor Mrs.Moorhead believe that a womens organization will probably originate from within the dormitory organization if women really want activities and programs in the future.
So, tot he workers and organizers of AWS, we the publication staff, salute you to a job well done!

It’s strange to know that |
I’ve exchanged
Souls
With you.
It’s been forever in coming,
And will be forever
Before it goes.
Though you promised to return,
If you dont
today
Will eliminate any pain
I may feel.
Within my breast
A clearer beat,
stronger,
wholer,
Surges life to my starving body.
___________________________
Let our souls fuse through
Our glance.
Travel from within to
meet in
the depths
Of our eyes.
A common bond in conversations
where we
bared out
souls; not
caring, leaving
them
undefended.
Seeing and
Touching and sharing and
Searching within
yourmind
showed me
harmony within my own.
Gently take
leave of your
presence,
for you
can never
take your
soul.
________________________________
Ah!the silence night
the welcoming darkness
as I close my eyes
and escape to the world
where I am real
Half forgotten yesterdays,
innocence still trembling
and a twice remembered faze
of silence and soft voices with
a sad ring
determining inside to live for
now
Ignoring the call of tomorrow
making excuses with a bow
an attempt to damn sorrow
to a forgotten place in the mind
to dwell serenely beside one another
care for the soul-blind
and call every man brother
to all be together
_____________________________
I am aware
But not or expceted knowledge
in my mind i care not others should see life
and not be afraid
the scenes we live are all reruns
for someone else surely
feels the same as you
we are not alone
but each must be for we cannot glimpse
another soul
save the one we know
can this be all?
___________________________________________
On a ship, traveling from country to country
as it was an everyday thing.
I look to where I started
and remember:
Laughter,tears.
What am I leaving there?
Sitting in the sun waiting for the arrival,
Alone and empty,
watching yesterdays land grow hazy and finally, drift from range.
Growing lonely on deck,
fearing what awaits me.
I extend my hand
to no one, refusing one who is kind-
taking time to reach to me.
My destination extends a welcome cloud that warms by breast and finds
cloudiness
within my eye, and happy
moisture on
an expectant cheek.
Eagerly, with rare luxury of a smile within my mind.
I travel to the reason
I forsook
the place that taught
my pain-
am I justified in leaving
experience there?
Walking, looking, searching –
for what
I have no care;
never knowing which corner
held what behind it;
a joy concert from
someone’s heart
brings joy to mine
at least for awhile.
Familiar feelings again find passage to my
mind and emptiness retakes
its space within my soul;
knowing I cannot protest for
it was I who first extended
the inviatation.
Time moves slowly, and longing
passion burns for the closeness of pain already
known; the moment to return
draws near, and I
know such a call
will find me
unable to resist.
Watching today fade, I feel
sourness of tears in my mouth;
not for what I gained, but what I thought
i would and then
found only want-need-for
solitude grew.
Though going back I
speak to ‘friends’ I am lost within
thoughts unwise to share;
I cant seem to find a place where i
can show my soul and be the land of my
memories surges into view,
and I again feel
accustomed
to the isolation
within, and
become relieved.
and content.
on a ship, traveling from countr to country
as it was an everyday thing.
I knew I must return and as I so
I find realization:no where could I find
serenity in loneliness but here
what did I hope to find there?
-Lynette Ensor

You didnt come
you ignored my plea

I recall the journey i took to the sun
In my velvet cushioned capsule
the light show int he sky
and the calmness written on the stars
Made my trip worthwhile
slowers blossomed out of air
colors exploded everywhere

the eyes that greeted me
and the hands that treated me
told me to succeed
I travel forever to the sun
to find the place where happiness runs
and instead I found you waiting.
Pirates split with Clark
The Pirates for back in the winner’s circle for a change when they battled with Clark College to end up with one win and one loss.
The Pirates opened the first game with three quick runs. Art Ruud brought in the first two runs with a long triple. They were Dan Ruud and Dave Sinnett, who had both walked. Darryl Sanford then dropped a perfect base line, bringing Art to the plate on a well-executed squeeze play.
In the second inning the Pirates managed two more hits, but that was all and left Dave Cameron and Steve Duffek stranded on the bases.
In the third inning Clark got to the Pirates’ starting pitcher and brought in two runs on a single, a fielder’s choice, and an error in the right field.
In the fourth, Clark stopped the Pirates’ lead with a triple by John Schuster and a single by John Nix. Dave Leaf then came in on relief and went the rest of the way for the Pirates. Nix scored on a hard hit ball to short-stop, winning the game for Clark 3-4.
In the second game, as well we the first, the Pirates opened with a bang. Clark scored one run in the first inning so the Pirates had to hustle. In the fist inning for the Pirates, Duffek mingled and went to second on an error in right field. Art and Dan Ruud both walked to load the bases. Dave Sanford brought in Duffek on a ground ball and Dave Cameron brought in Art Ruud when he went to first when he was hit by the ball. Tuck Smith brought in the winning runs with a bad-hop-single to third base.
Clark couldnt quite get their bats on the ball and fell in defeat by a 4-3 win by the Pirates.
Lower Columbia hangs shutouts on Pirates
By Tim Haley
On Satuday, May 2, the Pirates were shut out in a double header against Lower Columbia, 7-0 and 6-0.
The Pirates couldnt catch the early leads by Lower Columbia and had trouble batting against their pitchers, Mike McNelly and Art Carpenter. They ended up with only one hit in the first game and two in the second by Steve Duffek, Dan Ruud, and Phil Fry.
In the first inning of the first game the Pirates left two men on bases. Lower Columbia then took advatage of the few mistakes the Pirates made to score three runs. Al Moseley walked three straight and two scored on a ground out and an error.
In the second inning the Pirates couldnt get anything started at the plate and that is how it was the rest of the game. Lower Columbia was just the opposite. In the second Lower Columvia scored 3 runs on four hits and in the fourth they scored their seventh and final run.
In the second game the Pirates were as loaded with mistakes as they were int he first game.
They had one, and only one, threat which came in the fifth. Two men got on by walks and Phil Fry loaded the bags with a single. But this was all the further the Pirates could go in this inning, and the rest of the game.
In the second inning Lower Columbia lowered the Axe and scored four runs on two singles. One double, and four walks. They finished off the Pirates in the fifth with two more runs.

Chess team gains tie
By RICH FRENCH
The Peninsula College Chess Team, on Saturday, may 9, traveled to Highline College for their second meet of the season. In a prior meet Highline knifed through the Pirates with four wins to Peninsula’s one win.
This meet was different. After blunderous losses by Fred Katabchi and Mark Haggerty, Steve Denmark and Lee Erickson rallied the Pirates to a 2-2 tie. Then Rich French with a clean bishop ahead, became the goat of the meet by missing the obvious checkmate and taking a draw. Steve and Lee shone through the tied meet with beautifully played games, winning both by a piece and mate. Final score: Peninsula 2 1/2, Highline 2 1/2.
