Food bank concert set
A Food Bank benefit
concert, performed by Port

Allyson Rice, will be Jan. 31
at 8 p.m. in the Little
Theater.
Admission will be a can of
food for the Food Bank. In
addition, a freewill offering
will be taken.
The concert is sponsored
by the Peninsula College
Student Council and the Port
Angeles Food Bank.
LaMunyon, Holy Trinity
Lutheran Church youth
director, and Rice, a Port
Angeles High School senior,
will perform a concert of
classical and folk music.
Purpose of the concert is
threefold, the church youth
leader said: “to entertain, to
enlighten, and to engulf the
shelves of the food bank for
the winter months.”
LaMunyon, a vocal music
graduate from Western
Washington University, said
his program will include “a
variety of sacred and secular
musical expressions” ranging
from German Lieder to an
early twentieth century
English song cycle and
contemporary folk music.
Composers represented will
include Dvorak, Bernstein,
and Vaughan Williams.
LaMunyon’s accompanist,
Allyson Rice, also will
present two piano solos:
“Sonatina” by Ravel and
“The Banjo” by Gottschalk.
Rice’s piano awards have
included first place in
Olympic Peninsula and
district competition sponsored by the Washington
State Music Teachers
Association. She is a piano
student of Thelma McGoy.
New buildings to be constructed by Sept. 24
Four new construction
projects are in the making at
Peninsula College.
Bids were scheduled to be
opened Jan. 24 for a new
electronics building, diesel
classroom, handicap facilities and an extended
perimeter road.
If all goes smoothly,
construction on the new
diesel classroom should
begin around early May.
Although built as an addition
to the Auto-Diesel building,
only diesel students will use
it. Funded by Peninsula
College, completion date is
set for Sept. 24.
The new electronics
building is also slated for
construction in the spring.
Situated behind the Sciences
building, its projected cost
comes to half a million.
It will replace the old
electronics building the
college is renting at 118 W.
Eighth. State funds are
financing this one, and
completion is aimed for
December.
Improvements for the
handicapped will be made
throughout the campus.
Plans call for a new restroom
facility between the
smooth crossing from sidewalk to room.
Leveling of all door
thresholds will also be
carried out, to insure
wheelchair-bound students a
engineering building and a
new electronics building
along with several water
fountains to be made
accessible to the
handicapped.
Finally, the Bonneville
Power Plant dirt road will be
paved and extended to the
dorm parking lot. When the
electronics building is
completed, a further loop
extension will swing around
behind campus to meet fire
department regulations.
This loop will probably not
be paved, and it will not be
accessible to students.
Lunt outlined rules
By MARK PHILLIPS
In response to a few
students who had misinterpreted the dormitory’s policy
against drinking, ground
rules have been laid down
again to residents with the
utmost clarity, said Jim
Lunt, director of Student
Activities.
Lunt said “There’s no way
that anyone can become
intoxicated without becoming publically obnoxious in
that kind of environment.”
He said that anyone who
disrupts the dorm lifestyle,
“such as a trouble-maker
under the influence of
alcohol” will be asked to
leave and find a place suited
to their lifestyle.
A student has never been
expelled from Peninsula, but
dorm residence and education often go hand in hand.
Lunt said that most residents
already . recognize the
concern of alcohol on
campus, and he didn’t forsee
any problems.
Dorm Manager Vince
Murray said he felt that the
issue was centered more on
how The Buccaneer handled
the “dorm drinking” article
last December.
Drinking within the dormitories became more
noticable last fall when rules
prohibiting “public consumption” led some students
to believe comsumption
within the dormitories was
acceptable.
The December article
caused protests from Murray
and several students because
of what they felt was its
irresponsibility, Murray said.
The dormitory manager
said that he was originally led
to believe that the, article
would be a basic look at
dorm life in general. Instead
it “made a fetish out of the
drinking thing,” he said.
Murray also said that the
alcohol situation is not as
critical as the Buccaneer
article made it out to be. He
commented he felt that all it
did was to promote a
negative attitude towards the
dorm.
Class offered
Volunteers are earning a
college credit for practical
experience in community
service agencies, said Diane
Johnson, co-ordinator of the
Crisis Intervention Program.
The crisis program course
includes instruction in
community resources, legal
issues, and communication
in crisis. Classes will be Jan.
30, Feb. 13, and Feb. 27 at
7:30 p.m. in the college
board room.
To earn one credit in the
course, FLE 75A, 18 hours
of in-service training is
required at local agencies.
Volunteers are working at
The Family Resource Center,
Crisis Line-Battered Women,
Diversified Industries, Day
Treatment Center, and The
Department of Social and
Health Services.
For more information
students may contact Johnson in the Administration
Building.
Blood drive set Feb.11
The annual Peninsula College blood drive will be in
the PC gym Feb. 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Blood drive appointment sheets will be in the library.
The facility will be able to handle five donors every 15
minutes. It is very important that potential donors eat
before giving blood, Ruble said.
In the past Peninsula College has donated as many as
140 pints of blood. Students, faculty, and administrative staff, and blood donors may see Ruble in the math
lab if they have any questions.

Editorials
Student participation
Pie thrown, a jam session, a student versus faculty basket ball game, a tug of war, and a semi-formal dance—these
events are part of Pete’s Week, Peninsula College’s homecoming, beginning Feb. 3. Hopefully enough events will exist so that every student
can find one to his liking. The activities sound like they
should be fun. It could be the best PC homecoming ever.
Participation and enthusiasm are as essential to a homecoming as the festivities. If the entire college takes part in
Pete’s Week, it will be a terrific festival for all.
Often people feel less excited about a community college
festival than about their high school homecoming. Well, in
high school homecoming is a bigger event. That doesn’t
mean, however, that students should keep from participating in Pete’s Week, or that PC’s homecoming should be less
fun.Pete’s Week began in 1964 to raise school enthusiasm. The
festival takes its name from Pirate Pete, the school mascot.
Festivals accomplish more than promoting sports or
keeping individuals busy. They help to break up the old
routine and raise personal spirits. More importantly, they
remind everyone that life exists to be enjoyed, to be treasured. That reminder can’t come too often.
Pete’s Week will well be worth whatever time or money
goes into it. Its success, though, won’t be measured just by
how much money it makes or loses or by the number of
events. Peninsula’s homecoming’s success will be seen in the
number of people who make the most of the week.
Pete’s Week can be—and will be—a time to be crazy,
appreciate friendships, and to enjoy life at Peninsula.

Letter to the editor
BUC article criticized
To the composers of the Buccaneer, I Once again, as is often found in these days of mass communication, the omnipresent media has turned a common, everyday occurence into a scathing attack on whatever group of people the tablet has found transgressing morality. Now we come to the Buccaneer. Normally I find the Buc a fairly digestible piece of mediocre journalistic quality. Mainly on the grounds that it says little about anything important, and less about everything else. This is no doubt due to the fact that it can’t get too political for after all, threefourths of the campus isn’t too political. I cannot even begin therefore to suggest that the Buc tried to increase its’ circulation by launching as bitter an attack on us “poor dormies” as was witnessed by us and the entire student body on the front page of the Nov. 30, 1979 issue. “. . . talk around campus is that it (underlined by author of this letter for emphasis) is on the increase, along with related vandalism and other disturbances. Talk, as. they say, is cheap. If anyone, especially Mr. Lunt or Mr. Murray, really cared enough to look in on us, they would notice that since the beginning of the quarter, the consumption of alcohol has tapered off as the demands of the academic life pile up. But, as is always the case, those who yield the power and make the decisions are the last to see the truth. “The rules were revised and now state in part ‘Disciplinary action will be severe should anyone be involved with the use of drugs, public consumption of alcoholic beverages, drunkeness or disorderly conduct in the dorm . . .” Aside from the Bucs’ inability to advise as to whether the above rule was he revised rule, or whether it the revised-revised rule the questions raised by the Bucs’ weak stand on factual journalism apply to Everything the Buc has published this year. The rule above above also reflects the wishy-washy way the rules have been and always will be interpreted by the dorm administratiors. At this point , the Lunt/Murray law interpretations merely serve to further confuse the poor,dumb, (alcoholic) dormies.
Assuming the above rule was the revised rule, it says that we may consume the alcoholic beverages in our rooms as long as we dont get drink. So far, aside from one or two minor violations, this has ben an accepted practice here. On the other hand, if the rule is the revised rule, it says the same thing, and we are back at base 1,drinking quietly in our rooms.
At this point in time it will be sufficient to say that a great many students were done a good deal of harm when that article came out in the Buc. I could go on to describe all the effigy burning that went on when that issue hit the stands;but I will instead cut my long winded espusal short (probably this letter will be edited anyhow) and let all those interested in the reall dorm life come and witness it first hand. Maybe then the truth will be known. We are no more the libacious lot than any other person on campus or in Port angeles. And it is time someone said so.

Eight groups were invited
by the council to attend
future Student Council
meetings and feed new ideas
into homecoming preparations. They were the
Fisheries class, Forestry,
Musical Theater, Mid

Look at the Artist
Audience reaction strong
By NORMA SONNIER
The atmosphere of the
Friday night showing of the
“Rocky Horror Picture
Show” was filled with anticipation for the unkown,
rather than horror.
Hardcore fans of “Rocky
Horror Picture Show’’
arrived at the Little Theater
in their transvestites evening
wear, while the film soundtrack played their (the transvestites that is) motto song.
Other wore gayly colored
party hats and tooted on
party horns. In came obvious
handheld brown paper bags
filled with rice and toast, that
would later land in the laps
of unsuspecting audience
victims. Middle-age people
looked quite astonished, not
knowing what “horrors”
this show would bring.
The lights were dimmed
and a gigantic set of singing
red lips covered the screen.
The picture show characters
are intorduced and the
audience begins its
overpowering participation.
Hoorays for the bad guys,
booos for the good guys and
everyday obscenities for the
in betweens.
The film setting then
changed to the country
church wedding and those
brown paper bags were lost
among the audience in a swirl
of flying rice. The unsuspecting audience onlookers then
begin to realize what an
audience participation film is
all about.
The reels kept rolling and
halfway through the film one
realized that finding the plot
can be quite confusing. Is it
alien beings corrupting earthling goody-goodies or is the
entire film merely an illusion
of whatever the mind can
conceive?
For the full length of the
feature the audience
enthusiastically continued in
the participation of yelling
obscenities at the horror
show characters and displaying sudden intervals of toast
and toilet paper throwing.
The ritual of handclapping
and howling ended the show
with the idea that there are
no horrors in “Rocky
Horror Picture Show” but
in the cultic hardcore fans
participation.
Overall the “Rocky
Horror Picture Show” is a
fantastic, stimulative experience for the mind adventure
searching person.
FILM SERIESThe Peninsula College
foreign film series will
Present a 1974 Spanish
Picture, “The Spirit of the
Beehive,” at 7 p.m. Jan. 29
in the Little Theater.
The film series is now seen
Tuesday evenings.
Criticism requested
Construction critiscm can make newspaper better. To help improve this paper, we would like to know readers’
opinions of The Buccaneer. What are this paper’s good and bad points? How can it
become better? We try to do our best job in keeping Peninsula College
students informed about their school, its people, and its
activities. Our hope is that the paper is informative, interesting, accurate, fair, and at times entertaining.
We need to know, though, how well we’re doing our job.
The Buccaneer staff needs to know readers’ responses to
questions like: Is all the news being covered? How accurate,
reliable, and fair is this paper? How can our stories, art, and
photographs, be improved?
We have received one major suggestion: that the paper be
a weekly. Well, there could be enough news and feature
material to justify a four page weekly. The problem is we re
limited by a small staff, time, and our budget. Eight students
are not enough to publish a weekly.
The Buccaneer staff encourages readers to let us know
their suggestions, criticism, and praise of the paper. We
probably won’t agree with or be able to act upon every idea,
but we’ll listen to all.
By knowing our readers’ feeling about the Buc, we will
know our readers better. Both types of knowledge can help
us find ways to improve the college paper.

Pirates take two,drop five
By TIM CHAMBERLAIN
While the rest of the
school was at home relaxing
for the holidays, the Peninsula Pirates kept busy
practicing for and playing
their mid-season games.
Since the last issue of the
Buccaneer came out, the
Pirates have played seven
games, including two victories. The wins, one at home
and one on the road, were
against Yakima Valley and
Shoreline.
Jhe F,irates outlasted
Yakima Valley 96-88 Dec. 8
in the PC gym before a pretty
good sized home crowd. The
game was fairly close all the
way.
The second victory was
Dec. 21 on Shoreline’s home
turf, where the Pirates edged
them out 75-72.
The Pirates have had some
trouble getting ; their
ballgame together. They
usually play a good offense
or a fine defense, but not
always at the same time, the
problems they’ve been
having all season long.
Pirate coach Tim Fryer
said, “Offense and defense
both have to be played well
to win. In the games we won,
we got the two together.’’
Saturday, Jan. 26, the
Pirates meet Highline in the
PC gym, and Wednesday,
Jan. 30, they go on the road
to play Grays Harbor.

“Some kind of record”
By TIM CHAMBERLAIN
At five feel eight inches
Glenn Sande may be the
shortest man on PC’s varsity
basketball team, but what he
lacks in height, he makes up
for in ability and hustle..
Good proof of that is the
nine steals Sande got in the
Pirate’s last game against
Gray’s Harbor, which he
proudly says “Must be some
kind of record.’’ .
Sande is what you might
call a natural athlete. He’s
played basketball avidly
since third grade. He played
baseball and basketball al
three years of his high school
career. He also enjoys tennis.
In his spare time, Sande
likes to get into “all kinds of
snorts.” He also has a sizable baseball-card collection,
12,000 of them, including a few real
collectors items.
Sande is a freshman, majoring in math, and currently has a 3.78 grade point average.
Student Standout
Exchange student Changes views
By DAVE MASON
“When you go abroad and
you’re an exchange student,
you find your opinions
change through talking with
different people,” former
foreign exchange student
Terri Davison said.
“Your ideas of places are
expanded.
“Your mind is broadened
in a way that couldn’t be
accomplished in any other
way.
“I can tell you about it,
but you’ve got to go abroad
to experience it.”
Those are the feelings of a
new Peninsula College
student who recently returned to the United States.
Davison, a 1979 Port
Angeles High School
graduate, lived most of the
last year in New Zealand as a
Rotary Club foreign
exchange student.
Davison left Port Angeles
Feb. 9, 1979. She graduated
from her high school the
previous January. Born in
Seattle, she has lived in Port
Angeles since the age of two.
Before she went to New
Zealand, Davison was
already an experienced world
traveler. She toured Europe
in the summer of 1978 with
her high school jazz choir,
“Vocal Unlimited.”
The PC pharmacy major
lived with three families and
attended two high schools in
Hamilton, New Zealand.
“Everything’s beautiful”
about the country, Davison
commented.
“the people are warm,
friendly, outgoing, and really
enthusiastic,” she said.
Schools are “similar to
America’s,” but tougher,
Davison explained.
She said that New Zealand
university education is free.
Those who qualify receive a
government allowance for
attending a university, she
added.
Although technical schools
exist in the country, there are
no two-year colleges. She
said her New Zealand friends
had never heard of
community colleges.
Last year was a year of
first-time experiences for
Davison. While overseas, she
learned to hanglide, sail,
surf, play golf, and abseil.
Abseilling is bounding down
the side of a cliff, tied to a
rope.
Davison, an experienced
skier, also skied down the
slope of a live volcano for the
first time.
Life is “less rushed” in
New Zealand, a dairy and
sheep farming country, than
in the United States, she
commented.
Davison said she learned
from the foreign country’s
lifestyle that “Americans
should probably take life
slower and be more open and
friendly and aware of other
human beings. Hurrying and
rushing, Americans often get
caught up in their own world
and don’t reach out
enough.” she said.
New Zealand citizens have
some “preconceived notions
of Americans,” she explained. Their knowledge of
American lifestyle and
Americans is limited to
American television
programs like “Eight is
Enough” she added.
“They think we all drive
big cars and live in concrete
cities,” Davison said.
The PC freshman noted
that not all New Zealanders
“want to go to America.”
Davison pointed out that
New Zealand is “rapidly
changing.”
“New technology is
coming, and very little stuff
is imported,” she explained.
She said many American
products are packaged and
processed in the country.
Davison came in contact
with foreign exchange
students from other nations
while in New Zealand. She
said she plans to write to a
friend in Denmark.
Exchange students also came
from Canada, South Africa,
Japan, Thailand, and
Australia.
“I could go to any country
and know someone there,”
Davison said.
She does have future
traveling plans. “I want to
live in every country,” she
said.
“There’s something there.
People over the world, with
different languages and
cultures, have a common
something,” Davison said.
“It’s a bond” of friend-ship.
Brauninger to speak on games of math and challenges all
Kent Brauninger, Peninsula College math instructor,
will challenge all comers to
some games of knowledge at
Studium Gcnerale Jan. 31.
Brauninger will slip in

More pipleline delay seen
By DAVE MASON
Washington State should
have the final word on
whether a Port Angeles
oilport and pipeline is built,
according to the state
attorney general.
An oilport and pipeline
decision may be delayed,
though, until next year.
Attorney General Slade
Gorton said.
Gov. Dixy Lee Ray may
feel “it is too hot an issue”
to decide right before an
election, Gorton said. He
said the decision may be
made by a new governor.
The attorney general called
congressional action on a
supertanker port and pipeline “possible, but not probable.”
“It is neither likely nor
proper” that congressional
action will be taken, Gorton
said. “Congress should leave
the state to decide” the fate
of the Northern Tier
project, he added.
Gorton, a candidate for
Sen. Warren Magnuson’s
seat, made the comments in a
Buccaneer interview Jan. 21.
He was on campus to speak
to political science students
and newspaper reporters, he
also appeared at the
Chamber of Commerce
meeting.
Congress could “pre-empt
all state laws” concerning the
proposed pipeline and oilport, the attorney general
said.
Gorton explained he
doesn’t expect pre-emption
because only Midwest
congressmen would favor it.
The majority of congressmen
doesn’t support overruling
state laws, he added.
The proposed pipeline
would run to Clearbrook,
Minn.
Gorton pointed out that
the state governor has the
final decision on the oilport
and pipeline. The Energy
Facility Site Evaluation
Council (EFSEC) will make a
recommendation to the governor on the Northern Tier
project.
An appeal of an oilport
decision could go to the state
Supreme Court, but it
probably would not reach the
federal Supreme Court, the
attorney general said.
“It’s questionable if it is a
federal law issue,” Gorton
explained.
He said an appeal could go
to the nation’s highest court
as a “challenge of the ,President’s decision” favoring
the Northern Tier project.
PC Bookstore is seeking a name
Feb. 14 is the deadline to
turn in suggestions in a
contest to name the
Peninsula College bookstore.
The name “Peninsula
College Bookstore,” though,
won’t be accepted, said Ann
Pazan, Student Council
secretary and bookstore
committee member.
The contest officially
begins today.
The contest winner will
receive his choice of a
packbag and T-shirt from
what is available in the bookstore.
Pazan explained that the
bookstore is seeking a name
because “confusion has risen
from other Port Angeles
bookstores in mailing
address names.”
Contest entry forms can be
picked up in the PUB foyer,
next to the trophy case.
Completed forms should be
placed in the locked box on
the foyer wall.
The bookstore committee
consists of Pazan and PC
student Matt Young.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The scholarship selection
will be based on worthiness,
financial need, and academic
achievement. The applicant
must be either a high school
senior planning to begin a
vocational program in the
fall of 1980 or a vocational
student of freshman
standing. The deadline for
the $250.00 award is Feb. 8,
1980.
