Christmas Events
Holiday festivities beginning
By ROBERT CARTER
Are you having trouble
getting into the spirit of
Christmas? If so you may be
interested that during the
month of December there are
a number of events and
activities designed to reflect
the festive nature of the
season.
Dec. 6, as a part of
Studium Generale, Marvin
Pollard and the Peninsula
College Choir were
scheduled to present a
program of Christmas music.
Two special events take
place on Dec. 8. The first is a
performance of Benjamin
Britten’s “Ceremony of
Carols’’ and Mozart’s
“Grand Mass in C Minor.”
7:30 p.m., Port Angeles
High School. Also Dec. 8 is
the ASC Christmas dance.
This will be a semi-formal
dance. The band United
Flyte is featured. The dance
is from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. in
the PUB.
“The Song of the Birth of
Our Lord Jesus Christ” will
be performed Dec. 11 by the
Peninsula College Chamber
Singers and String Ensemble
at noon in the Little Theater.
The Port Townsend
Community Chorus will
perform traditional Christmas music and “The
Christmas Oratorio’’ on
Dec. 11 and 16. The concert
on the Dec. 11 will be at 8
p.m. in the Chimacum High
School Auditorium. The
Dec. 16 performance will
take place at 8 p.m. in the
Port Townsend First
Presbyterian Church.
On Dec. 21, 22, 23, the
Christmas musical “Amahl
and the Night Visitors” will
be presented in the Little
Theater at 8 p.m.
Other events of interest,
not necessarily connected
with Christmas, are a free
program of scenes and songs
from the Broadway play
“You’re a Good Man,
Charlie Brown,” on Dec. 14
at 7:30 p.m. in the Little
Theater and, for the sportsoriented, basketball games
against Wenatchee, Yakima,
Everett, and Shoreline
(here), and against
Wenatchee, Yakima, and Edmonds (there).
Parade turns into anti-oilport
“Keep the Coast Guard!
We like the mills; we don’t
want more pollution from an
oilport! Keep the hospital
safe from tanker explosions!”
Those words were shouted
by Peninsula College freshman Matt Young in last
Friday afternoon’s antioilport parade.
Young, leader of a college
oil port awareness group,
other college students, a
college teacher, and an
elderly couple marched down
First Street yelling antioilport slogans. They were
led by the Port Angeles High
School band.
The oilport group had
tried to get President Carter
to come to Port Angeles for
the parade. The students
have collected 2,000 signa
lures on petitions asking the
President to visit this community before deciding on an
oilport here.
Friday’s parade was part
of an “Oilport Awareness
Day.” The day concluded
with an evening oilport
debate in the college Little
Theater. Speakers represented Northern Tier, No
Oilport, the city-county
oilport task force, and Green
Peace, a worldwide environmental group.
The small parade group
grew as spectators joined the
march. A long traffic jam
trailed the parade.
Young considered the
steady car honking, however,
to be a sign of support for
the march.
Parade participants
carried signs that read “40
Percent Foreign Oil: Remember Iran,” “President, please
come and listen!”, and
“Spill it somewhere else!”
“We want clean beaches!”
exclaimed one parade participant.
The oilport group leader
said that the parade would
accomplish “a lot of arousal,
a lot of publicity that people
care around here. You can
tell by the honking horns that
people really arc concerned
about this (the oilport issue).
“It’s beautiful that people
care about this,” Young
said.
One parade participant
pushed her baby in a carriage
with the sign “No Oilport.”
She explained that she is
concerned about the effect of
an oilport on her child’s
future.
“I know how it was when I
was a baby to go out to the
beach and go out to the ‘Spit’
or Freshwater Bay and go
wading,” the mother said. “I
want her to have the same
opportunity to do so if she
would like to.”
A 77-year old marcher said
that most elderly people
oppose an oilport. Like other
human beings, they want
fresh air and fresh water, she
said.
“Today there’s too much
pollution,” she noted. “If
they put an oilport in, the
elderly people won’t live
long.”
Another parade participant commented angrily
that this community doesn’t
need an oilport or the people
and growth it would bring.
“We want clean air and
trees,” she commented. “If
we get the oilport, we won’t
have any fishing grounds
left. They’ll cut down all the
trees and build houses.”
A Peninsula College
sophomore said the people
are concerned about the
oilport issue.
“They’re taking an active
interest in what will happen
instead of letting Washington D.C. dictate to them
what is going to happen to
them,” explained Ray
Brown.
“I don’t know if we can
fight (the White House), but
I think we should definitely
try.”
A dance to be held Dec. 8
Saturday Peninsula College will have the annual
Christmas Ball.
the semi-formal dance will
be in the PUB from 9 p.m. to
1 a.m. United Flyte will be
the band and features a horn
section and talented vocals.
The dance committee is
looking for help and persons
interested in helping may
contact Linda Baumwell,
committee chairman.
Tickets will be sold in
advance and at the door.
Only 200 tickets will be sold
and policy is first come first
served. Tickets in advance
will be $3 single, $5.50
couple. Tickets at the door
are $4 single and $7 couple.
ID is required for advance
tickets and at the door.
There will be a crack down
on required ID. Non-PC
students will not be admitted
unless accompanied by a PC
student. The reason, said
ASC president Steve Shirley,
is that all full time students
pay $17.50 through tuition
fees for the performing
bands and only full time or
registered students should
benefit from the PC fund.
Admission prices are not
focused on profit but
breaking even, said Shirley.
Winter registration starts Jan. 3
Winter quarter registration
is Jan. 3-4 from 8 a.m. to
noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m.
To be eligible for admission to Peninsula College, a
person must be 18 years of
age, a graduate of an accredited high school, or have
completed requirements for
the GED certificate.
An appointment is required for all full time students
(10 or more credits).
Advising will be in the
Student Center.
Tuition and fee are
payable at the time of
registration. Part-time
tuition (under 10 credits) is
$10.20 per credit for
residents, non-residents (6
credits or less) $10.20 per
credit and non-residents (7
credits) $39.60 per credit.
Full time tuition (10 credits
or more) is $102 per quarter
for residents and $396 per
quarter for non-residents.
There is a $1 records fee for
all enrollees.
Evening classes registration is Dec. 13 from 11 a.m.
to 8 p.m. and Jan. 3 and 4
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on
Jan. 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Area residents will be able
to choose from 126 Continuing Education courses to be
offered winter quarter on
PC’s campus.

Parade against oil
The Nov. 30 Anti-Oilport parade participants
reminded local citizens about the dangers and effects
of an oilport. They yelled slogans like ‘ Save the
hospital from tanker explosions I” and “We don’t want
more pollution from an oilport !”, and “Keep the Coast
Guard!”
Those cries speak of very unpleasant things. It’s
easier to close one’s eyes and pretend an oilport’s
dangers don’t exist. It’s more comfortable to pretned
those slogans are nothing more than the emotional
cries of a radical group.
Yes, the anti-oilport participants were emotional.
However, their emotion was based on reason. There
was truth in their words. Whether a person favors or
opposes the oilport, he neds to see that truth.
If an oilport is to come, this community should
figure how it will handle the growth and potential
problems it may bring. If the oilport is unnecessary,
then local residents should be prepared for a tough
fight.

Former PC students are successful in job-finding
Job opportunities are good
for engineering graduates,
according to the PC engineering teacher.
“I know I’ll have a job
when I get out without a
doubt,” said Steve Wasnock,
a second year student.
Engineering teacher,
George Van Deusen said
there will be a “high demand
for engineers for quite a few
years.”
“Engineering is practical
knowledge,” said Steve
Wasnock, an engineering
student. “I can apply it to
what I’m doing.”
Wasnock offered this
advice to students considering majoring in engineering:
“Make sure you want to do it
before you get into it.”
Students must be willing to
do a lot of homework, Van
Deusen pointed out.
Engineering majors are
“high quality students, as
witnessed by the successful
completion rate here,” Van
Deusen said.
Engineering students take
calculus and other advanced
math, chemistry, physics,
and social science and
humanities courses.
Peninsula graduates do
“really well” at four year
schools.
Van Deusen said that
possible technical engineering fields include chemical,
mechanical, aeronautical,
civil, and agriculture.
In the freshman orientation class professionals speak
on careers such as industrial
engineering, engineering
technology, mechanical engineering, metallurgical
engineering, and electrical
engineering.
This year Peninsula has
expanded to include access to
microcomputer.
Besides Van Deusen local
architect Milton Hunt
teaches in the program.
Pros and cons of Oilport debated
Although there could be
oil spills, Northern Tier’s
environmental consultant
called the company’s proposal the safest, while his
opponents called a Port
Angeles oilport unnecessary
at a Peninsula College debate
Nov. 30.
“No one’s going to tell
you that an oil spill can or
cannot occur,” Dr. Jerry
Smedf, Northern Tier marine
biologist, told his audience at
the Oilport Awareness Day
forum.
The environmental consultant added that he would
be surprised if Northern
Tier’s proposal is not “the
most environmentally sound
idea in the country.”
Besides Northern Tier
officials, the debate’s
speakers represented No
Oilport, the county-city
oilport task force, and Green
Peace, a world environmental group.
Northern Tier’s environmental consultant assured his
audience that in the event of
any oil spill, Northern Tier
would be liable. He said that
fact provides a “hard
economic incentive for
Northern Tier to operate the
pipeline” safely.
After the debate the Green
Peace representative said he
was surprised to hear the
Northern Tier officials
confess that an oilport and
pipeline would harm air
quality and mean oil spills.
“They don’t address it as a
real concern,” said John
Hane of Green peace, is
not their problem, but our
problem.”
He said the pipeline
company official’
realize that local residents ar
concerned about their area s
marine life and the air and
water quality.
Hane went on to comment
that not enough Alaskan oil
exists to justify a pipeline
from Port Angeles and an
oilport.
“That $2 million can be
better spent on developing
alternative energy sources,”
he said.
Luck smiles, then frowns
Luck had it that Matt Young would receive an
invitation to a Seattle campaign dinner for President
Carter. Luck also dictated, however, that no one would
represent his oilport awareness group at the dinner.
The invitation wasn’t used.
City councilman Dorothy Duncan had agreed to
attend the dinner last Friday night in Young’s place. But
the Peninsula College freshman reported that she told
him last Friday that she couldn’t make the dinner.
Duncan was supposed to have handed Vice President
Walter Mondale 2,000 signatures on petitions asking
President Carter to visit Port Angeles before deciding
on an oilport here.
The President cancelled his Seattle trip because of the
Iranian crisis.
Young explained that he decided to remain in Port
Angeles to organize an oilport parade and debate. That
parade and debate took place the same day as Carter’s
dinner.
Coincidence led to the college student receiving the
invitation to Carter’s dinner. While collecting petition
signatures on the Edmonds ferry, he ran into an
Edmonds precinctman with an invitation, Young said.
After talking to Young, the precinctman gave him his
invitation.
Writers meet Steve Blake
Steve Blake made a guest
appearance at the Writers
Workshop Nov. 27 in the
13 PC students attended
the workshop. The students
discussed submitted manuscripts of short stories,
verses and prose.
Steve Blake read one of his
poems that he had earlier
recited in the Little Theater.
He also discussed his style
with the writers workshop.
The next Writers Workshop will be Dec. 11 at 3 p.m.
in the faculty lounge.
Look at the Artist
By NORMA SONNIER
Jimmy Buffett’s extremely
talented artistry has been
rediscovered with his newest
release, “Volcanoe.”
Unlike his previous release
of “Son of a Son of a
Sailor,” “Volcanoe” is gifted with a light-hearted
fresher musical sound. In his
previous album, “Son of a
Son of a Sailor,” Buffett
focuses on the hardships of
life on the sea; whereas, the
album “Volcanoe” focuses
on love concerning women,
tropical isles, and life in
general. Buffett’s new style
of lhe tropical island
atmosphere has added new
dimensions to today’s
musical sounds.
The album’s songs are
accompanied by the basic
lead guitar and drums but
each song’s background is
intensified by such unusual
instruments as shakers,
congas, banjo-uke, and
pans.
“Volcanoe” was recorded
in May 1979 at Air Studios
on the island of Monserrat,
British West Indies. Additional recording was done in
Nashville, Tennessee and Los
Angeles, California. In
addition to Buffett’s acoustic
section, consisting of Barry
Chance, Harry Dailey, Mike
Utley, “Fingers” Taylor,
Andy McMahon, and Russell
Kunkell other famous artists
as James Taylor and Dave
Loggins contributed to
recording the album.
The album jacket cover
was designed by Jimmy
Buffett and was
photographed on Montserrat
Island. Each song was
written by Buffett, and the
album is dedicated to Jane
and Savannah Jane Buffett.
Ensminger speaks about his intercontinent travels
On Nov. 30, Don Ensminger from Ens Tire Inc. was
the guest speaker for the
Mid-Management Club.
Ensminger spoke about his
past experience of when he
first started with Goodyear
and to the present and
future. Ensminger started
working for Goodyear in
1955 while attending college.
He quit college to get
married but finished in 1963.
Ensminger then moved
from Lincoln, Neb. to
Akron, Ohio to join the
Squadron”—a specialized
team of engineers and
management trainees sent
overseas.
He applied for an opening available in working on a rubber plantation.
In June 1964, he was sent to the Phillipines to be assistant manager. Ensminger became the manager in 1968. The he went to Indonesia the following year where he ran a plantation of 8,000 employees.
Two years later Esminger moved back to Ohio and became General Manager of all the overseas plantations.
He traveled extensively to all the continents, spending up to 150 days of the year out of the U.S.A.
Esminger quit Goodyear in 1975 and bought the Goodyear store in Port Angeles after looking at carious locations.
He opened the store here March 1, 1977. He stated that in order for a small business to start and be successful a large capital for several years is needed.
The first two years are crucial to whether the store will make it or not.
The next guest speaker for the Mid-Management will be within the Winter quarter. A seninar on Time Management is scheduled for Feb. 5 at Haguewood’s Cost is $40 per person and lower for groups.
Pirates drop the first five
The Peninsula Pirates
hoopsters are off to a slow
start this season, as they have
dropped five games in as
many outings. They play
their games at a hectic pace,
having gone with five in the
short period of nine days.
The Pirates opened the
season November 23rd in
Skagit Valley where they
were one of four teams which
participated in the Turkey
Tournament. The remaining
teams included Skagit,
Spokane and Highline.
After playing two games in
the tournament, PC traveled
to Bellevue on November
28th. After coming up short
against B.C.C. Peninsula
held their home opener
against Edmonds on November 30th. Then, without any
rest, they once again traveled
to Seattle to do battle with
Shoreline.
GAME ONE – PC vs.
SKAGIT: Skagit ripped the
nets in the opening minutes,
ran up a score of 17-1, and
never looked back as they
went on to win 103-65.
Skagit had many fast breaks,
and also hit many outside
shots against a rusty PC
defense.
GAME TWO – PC vs.
SPOKANE: The Pirates
bounced back after their
opening loss, and played a
tough game. They held the
lead for most of the game,
but came up short at the
buzzer, 84-74.
GAME THREE – PC vs.
BELLEVUE: Once again
Peninsula fell victim to an
early opposition lead and
went into the locker room
trailing 64-35. Three Bellevue
players combined for 40
points in the first half. The
Pirates played nearly even
with Bellevue the second
half, but lost 117-86. Peninsula hit only 63 per cent
from the foul line for the
game. Scott Wheeler led the
PC attack with 14, followed
by Doug Bancroft with 13.
GAME FOUR – PC vs.
EDMONDS: The Pirates
were fired-up for their home
opener and displayed intensity and poise as they built a
slim 54-51 halftime lead. Jeff
McCauley and Dave Klock
each chipped in 12 points to
back Paul Woolpert’s output
of 14 to give PC their lead.
The second half saw
Edmonds run many fast
breaks for uncontested lay
ups and, as the Pirates
cooled off from the field,
they lost their lead and found
themselves trailing. Woolpert continued to hit, but so
did Edmonds, and they
wound up with a 1 17-99
victory. Woolpert led PC
with 28 and McCauley followed close behind with 24
counters.
GAME FIVE – PC vs.
SHORELINE: This was a
close contest all the way. The
Pirates played a good first
half but gave up many easy
shots and fell behind 48-42
by intermission. Shoreline
came out running to open the
second half and built a
twelve point lead. With four
minutes to go PC cut the lead
to 79-78, but just couldn’t
score the go ahead bucket
and eventually fell 86-78.
Jeff McCauley led the
Pirates with 21 followed by
Scott Wheeler with 17. Fouls
plagued the Pirates and they
lost four players during the
course of the game.
All Pirate games before
January 5th are non-leaguc
games and will not count
towards post-season tournament play. The next contest
for PC will be December 5th
at Everett and is followed by
a three game home stand
with Wenatchee on December 7th, Yakima on December 8th, and Everett on
December 10th.
IM season ends for some
Fall quarter Intramural
action is coming to a close
for Coed volleyball and Oneon-one basketball action.
In volleyball four teams
remain on the winners
bracket side, and they are
The Lifers, PC Pros, Bailey’s
Bombers and The Force. On
the losers bracket side Hop A
Long, Sharon’s Smashers
and Net Profs are still remaining. All seven of these
teams are in contention for
the winner’s crown. The
champion will be declared on
December 12th.
On the roundball side, Jim
Scribner, Delly French,
Robin Billings, Kent Brauninger, Tom Olsen, and Robin
Knudson are in the running
for the men’s one-on-one
championship. The women’s
side includes Joy Stewart,
Cheryl Shaw, Lauri Aillud
and Cindy Spence.
Registration for Winter
quarter IM sports will be in the library during next
quarter’s registration.
Banquet held
On November 30th the PC
women’s volleyball team
held an Awards Banquet.
After having team pictures
taken in the college gym, the
team (players, photographer,
scorekeeper, and linesmen)
traveled to Kathy Murphy’s
home where all indulged in
“massive” food provided by
coach Nancy Bell. Following
the meal, and with everyone
stuffed, Coach Bell handed
out the awards. Listed below
are the players who received
awards.
Karen Hopkins, Jennie
Webber – Co-Captain
Awards; Joanne Ross – Most
Valuable Player; Shannon
Casas – Most Inspirational;
Julie Leavitt – Most Improved; Joy Stewart –
Coaches Award. Pam Beard
also received a special award
from the coach.
Student Shoutout
Shade is not a ‘real’ cowboy
By RUTHE RASMUSSEN
He is from Wyoming, he
owns a cowboy hat and
pointy toed boots, but “I’m
scared to death of horses,’’
grins Richard A. Shade,
“because I fell off one when
I was a little kid.’’
Shade wanted to go to a
small college after he
graduated from high school
in Thermopolis, Wy. When
he saw the cover of the
Peninsula College catalog, he
decided “That’s it!’* He said
he wanted to “get out of the
snow and away from the cold
weather’’ and PC filled those
requirements
“Hike it here’’ said Shade.
Skiing and photography
are his favorite spare time
activities. Shade skiied at
Hurricane Ridge twice, but
he said it didn’t quite
compare to Jackson Hole,
Wy., where he used to ski.
Shade said he enjoyed skiing
Stevens Pass before the
bridge went out.
However, due to an 18
credit load this quarter plus
25 hours a week working for
Diversified Industries as an
associate counselor, Shade
doesn’t have much free time.
He is also on the ASC
Activities Committee and the
Intramural/leisure Time
Committee.
He took three years of
photography in high school,
but doesn’t have time in his
class schedule for any classes
here. He still uses his camera
a lot, he said.
As an associate counselor
to the mentally handicapped
in a group home, Shade helps
them to “learn the basic
skills for independent
living,’’ he said.
The job requires him to
stay overnight on the
premises three nights a week.
The balance of time is spent
as a dorm resident.
Shade is a sophomore this
year and is considering going
to the University of Washington or the University of
Hawaii from here. He plans
a career in psychology.
Shade and his family plan
a trip to Sicily this summer
before he goes on to a
university.
PC women meet
The Peninsula College
Women’s Group met for the
first time held Dec. 4 at
Henri Yee’s.
The PC Women’s Group is
comprised of faculty and
administrative women who
get together for fellowship
and to discuss problems
pertinent to women.
The group also includes a
guest speaker or some form
of entertainment at their
meetings. On Dec. 4 local
writer Phyllis Miletich spoke
to the group on “How I
Became a Literary Giant.’’
Ideas for 1979-80 were
discussed at the meeting, and it was an enjoyable evening
for all.
Poems to be Read
The following Foothills
Poetry reading will be on
January 29 with guest poet
John Liddy.

Merrill leaves on sabbatical
Bill Merrill, Peninsula College’s art
instructor, will leave in
January for a sabbatical at the University of
Colorado in Boulder,
Colorado.
He will further his
studies at the University for two quarters
and will return in June.
His courses will
consist of two classes:
watercolor painting
and drawing. Each
class is of graduate
level and are primarily
independent study
courses.
Merrill will also
study forty to fifty
hours a week under the
instruction of John
Nickerson, one of
America’s top glass
blowers.
During his stay in
Colorado he will visit
art courses at a variety
of colleges to achieve
an insight on various
instruction in relation
to his classes at PC.
Merrill said he is
fulfilled instructing art
at PC, but he also
wants to be a full time
artist. He has previously won the Artist in
Action Award and over
a period of fifteen years
had displayed 35 or 40
national and regional
shows. His exhibits
consist of watercolor
paintings and ceramics
constructed of clay.
Merrill feels that exhibiting his work
validated his teaching.
Since Merrill is a
non-resident of
Colorado, University
tuition will be $1,500
per quarter, plus $300
per quarter for studio
rental under Nickerson’s instruction.
Merrill said he feels
this sabbatical is a good
opportunity to work
with other artists. He
can discover new
materials for art, and it
may in effect change
some of his classes
which will resume in
September 1980.
Jobs in demand
Vocational students from
Peninsula College are doing
extremely well in finding
employment after leaving
college with degrees, certificates or marketable skill
levels, according to followup studies by Leonard Bail,
director of vocational education.
Within a few months, the
greater part of these students
had found employment or
were continuing studies.
‘ ‘ Peninsula College
students are doing as well in
most areas as students from
other community colleges
throughout the state and
better in several,’’ Bail said.
According to statewide
surveys, 96.1 percent of
those available for placement
after last year’s training were
employed by March 1 of this
year, and 84.8 percent were
working in the fields for
which they trained or related
fields. Only 3.8 percent were
unemployed.
Several Peninsula College
programs have a consistent
placement record close to 100
percent. Forestry technology
and business occupation
students probably have been
most successful in recent
years finding jobs quickly.
Bail observed that many of
the students who do have a
problem finding jobs are
reluctant to leave the
immediate area when jobs
are available only in other
locations.
All students leaving the
forestry tech program in
1978 were working in their
specialty or continuing
studies, according to the
latest follow-up studies.
