AS officers plan activities
More student activities and a
plan to decrease student apathy
are first and foremost in the
minds of the newly elected AS
officers.
Jim Cox, Lisa Hitt and Lois
Owens will become the new AS
officers when spring quarter
comes to an end. They were
elected Friday May 9.
Jim Cox, newly elected as
president and a 1974 graduate of
Port Angeles High School, says
he’d like to see more special
activities like student trips and
increased interest in Pete’s
Week. Jim said he ran for
president because he wanted
the job. He hopes to run an open
administration with more
students attending BOC
meetings, and attending
activities.
Lisa Hitt, new AS vicepresident and a 1974 graduate of
PAHS, says he plans on cutting
the number of dances from
seven per year to just five. She
said she has plans to increase
student interest in the dances
with gimmicks that she expects
will draw greater attendance.
Lois Owens, new AS
secretary-treasurer and a 1966
graduate of Mount Si High
School, has already begun work
on the ASB office in the student
services building. She says she
ran for the office because she
wants to do something about
student apathy and because it is
a challenge. Mrs. Owens said
she’d like to increase publicity
to counteract poor attendance
at student activities. She’d also
like to see an increase of intercollege events.
The officers will be opening
up the ASB office to all students
with questions and comments
and will set up a schedule to see
that an officer is in the office at
all hours of the day.
Jim Cox beat Larry
McFadden in the election. Miss
Hitt and Mrs. Owens ran
unopposed.
Maloney,Lucas in Studium windup
Studium Generale will finish
its spring quarter series with
two presentations by PC faculty
members.
On May 29, RossMaloney will
present “The Psychology of
Economic Conditions. Mr.
Maloney is an economics
instructor here.
English instructor William
Lucas will give a talk on
“Classical Japan” for the test
program June 5.
Yesterday, Mrs. Rosemarie»
Brauninger and Mrs. Thelma
McCoy presented “Concerto for
Two Pianofortes.” An
additional performance was
given last night for the public.
Mrs. Brauninger received
most of her musical training at
the University of Toronto, and
the New England Conservatory
in Boston. Herhusband, Kent, is
a math instructor at PC.
Mrs. McCoy studied music in
Nebraska and Walla Walla,
with additional work at the
Juilliard SchoolofMusic in New
York. Both women are
members of the Port Angeles
Symphony Orchestra, and have
been soloists here.
Tuesday, May 20, Gerald
Monson, elder in the lopal
Jehovah’s Witness church,
presented “A Rebuttal to the
Theory of Evolution.” This
rebuttal was in response to a
lecture on evolution given fall
quarter by PC biology
instructor Arthur Feiro.
May 15, Mrs. Bonnie Graves
sang her way through “Jewish
Music: Liturgical and Folk.”
She was accompanied by guitar
and piano. She was also
surprised by Rabbi Raphael
Levine who, after listening to
the performance, went up on
stage to congratulate her.
Tution waivers voted by BOC
By JEFFBIALIK
In a close vote the BOC
agreed to continue paying the
principle AS officers tuition
waivers, while the waiver for
the Buccaneer editor is still to
be reviewed.
The discussion came from a
suggestion by Jim Lunt.that the
BOC increase the tuition waiver
the AS officers receive from $55
to $83. When the tuition waivers
were first decided upon, Mr.
Lunt said, the tuition and fees
were only $55. Now that the
tuition and fees amount has
changed, the tuition waiver
amount should also change, he
suggested.
The BOC evaluated the
reason for having a tuition
waiver and whether it is
necessary. Kathy Feakes
moved to increase the amount
and continue the tuition waiver
for the president, vice president
and secretary-treasurer. The
motion passed
The question was then raised
on what to do about the
Buccaneer editor’s tuition
waiver.
Presently the editor of the
Buccaneer receives $83 per
quarter, $55 of which comes
from the student funds. (The
finance committee has
recommended the amount be
increased to a full $83).
Publications advisor Earl
Clark says the tuition waiver is
standard practice in other
colleges. Mr. Clark added that
in many other colleges the
editor is paid much more.
The editor for the paper is
recommended by the advisor
(Clark) to the Publications
Advisory Board. This board
consists of three faculty
members and three members of
the student body, appointed by
the AS president The dean of
Students, president of the BOC,
editor of the Buccaneer, and the
director ofstudent activities are
non-voting members of the
board. The publications board
must approve the advisor’s
recommendation.
Food stolen
Who is stealing from the
cafeteria? DESIST! Bring back
what you have taken!
Merrill Anderson, in charge
of food service, is reportedly
quite upset about the situation
but was not available for
comment.
Besides thefts from the
cafeteria, 144 eggs and some
meat have recently been taken
from the walk-in freezer which
is outside the building, said
Grace Jensen, the cook. The
freezeris easily broken into, she
said.
Editorial
2.0 GPA is not enough!
Qualification for public office in America has
traditionally been designed to bring the most able-
minded, energetic, and scholastically inclined people
to public leadership roles. This tradition has been
broken by Peninsula College’s student government,
the Board of Control.
When faced with a proposal that would raise the
minimum grade point average from 2.0 (or C) to 2.5
(or C+), the BOC opted to keep the requirement at its
present level. This means any student who maintains
a 2.0 is eligible to serve in Peninsula student
government.
The board made its decision on several grounds: (1)
that a portion of the student body (those with under a
2.5) would be eliminated from representation in
student government, (2) that a 2.0 is indicative of the
student’s ability to do at least average school work,
(3) that raising the GPA requirement would increase
turnover of representatives, thereby making the
administration of long-term objectives difficult, (4)
and that GPA’s vary in different curricula, or, a pre-
med student would have a more difficult time
maintaining a 2.5 than a physical education major.
We feel that while the board’s reasoning may be
well-intentioned, it disregarded a few fundamental
facts when making its decision.
First, every student at Peninsula, both those with a
1.5 and 4.0 GPA, are represented equally on the board
through their freshman and sophomore
representatives. This invalidates the board’s first
point.
Second, the average GPA is not, as the board
assumed, a 2.0. Through the years the GPA has risen
to 2.73. The student who maintains a C average is
doing below average work in comparison to his fellow
students.
Third, when involved in student government, the
individual must deal with a wide range of personnel,
such as representatives of the community, faculty,
and administration. We feel that a student should have
the scholastic record that would inspire respect from
these people in order to effectively conduct student
business.
Last, and most important, is the fact that a student
is primarily enrolled at Peninsula College to get an
education, not participate in extra-curricular
activities. If a student cannot cut it on a scholastic
basis at Peninsula he has no business in student
government when he should be concentrating on his
books.
The act is done. A constitutional amendment will be
needed to raise the present GPA requirement. We
fervently hope that next year the members of the
Board of Control will take these facts to heart and act
accordingly.

“The Destroyers,” Douglas
Reeman’s 16th novel, once
again shows why Reeman is
internationally regarded as one
of the finest story-tellers
writing today. He has been
acclaimed for the strength of
his plots, the realism of his
settings, the excitement of his
action sequences, and the
credibility of his characters.
This story of a destroyer flotilla
in action at a desperate time
during the Second World War is
a superb narrative of courage,
drama and epic adventure.
The eight destroyers,
affectionately or despairingly
nicknamed the Scrapyard
Flotilla by the men who served
them, had seen just about every
kind of action at sea since they
were originally built to fight the
Kaiser’s navy. By 1943 the
Second World War had reached
a turning point for the Allies,
and to help prepare the way for
the invasion of Northern
Europe, the old flotilla was
transferred to the control of
Special Operations to be used
for hard-hitting raids wherever
they would be the most value.
Were the ships chosen because
of their experience or because
they were expendable?
The uneasiness of Lieutenant
Commander Keith Drummond,
captain of the destroyer
Warlock, was further roused by
the appointment of Captain
Dudley Beaumont to control the
destiny of the flotilla. Hailed as
a “hero” by the press,
Beaumont should have been the
obvious choice for the job, but
Drummond knew that it took
more than an ability to survive
to make a hero.
Joseph Hayes has written a
forceful and frightening novel
that will keep his readers sitting
up until dawn with the fearful
inhabitants of Tarkington,
waiting for the explosive end of
“The Long Dark Night.”
Young, eager Boyd Ritchie got
more than he bargained for
when he came to the small New
England town of Tarkington.
What he came for was
college; what he got was an
eight-year prison sentence for a
crime he never committed —
rape. And eight years are long
enough to twist Ritchie’s soul
and mind, to give him time to
plan the perfect revenge in Old
Testament style with diabolical
precision, detail by minute
detail, when he sets off to make
Tarkington remember Boyd
Ritchie and his “long dark
night” with terror and
mounting horror.
At first seemingly unrelated
crimes hit* Tarkington that
night. Grave desecration, rape,
mutilation — all punishments to
fit the crime as Boyd Ritchie
marks each person off his
mental list, acting as judge and
jury, witness and executioner.
Not actually as executioner,
though, for death is really
incidental; what Ritchie wants
is for his victims to suffer — he
hopes forever — the terrible
knowledge, physically and
mentally, of what they have
done to him.
PUB spells comfort
Editor’s note: This viewpoint
was not written by a staff
member of the Buccaneer and
does not necessarily reflect the
views of this paper.
Are you cold, tired, hungry?
The PUB offers a lot of comfort
for Peninsula College students,
and at a reasonable price, too.
The food selection ranges
from fresh homemade salads to
bakery doughnuts. The menu
includes hot soup, yogurt, and a
variety of sandwiches.
Students complain, though.
One commented recently about
not getting free coffee refills,
mentioning the waste of cups.
This could be eliminated by
lower priced refills or by
encouraging students to bring
their own cups.
The food is served fast, by
courteousladies, in a large well-
lit room. Just right for studying
a last minute quotation, without
loud music, loud voices, or
crowded tables to upset
thought. The only, complaint
about the radio is its need for a
better antenna to eliminate
static. It does provide a
pleasant background for PUB
activities, however.
Some complain about
cluttered tables in the PUB,
but only with two staff members
serving nearly 700 students,
there is not enough time to clear
the area often. Usually the
tables are cleaned at 1:30 p.m.
after lunch hour rush, but if
everyone would do their share
to keep it neat, there would be
no reason to complain.
Prices for equally good food,
such as fresh hamburgers,
homemade soup, and fresh
salads, are competitive with
other fast food facilities in Port
Angeles. Of course, some
downtown prices are lower, but
so is quality.
All in all, for a refreshing,
relaxing snack, coffee break, or
lunch you can’t beat the PUB.

Letters to the editor
Stadium Generale not ‘one-man-show’
Pditor The Buccaneer ‘ . .
Darrel Bessey’s TM
the May 9 issue of me
Buccaneer concerning
Generale was, while Perh®P^
bit too flattering, very much
aoDreciated. However, it gave Ep^ession asif the Studium
Generale efforts had been a one-
man-show which cannot be
duplicated. This is not correct
While it is true that 1
originated the idea of the
lecture series and coordinated
the programs, it is also a fact
that it took a team of devoted
faculty members and students,
all members of the Community
Service Committee, to stage
Studium Generale and to
administer the various aspects
of this successful series.
At this time I wish to express
my thanks to four members of
that Committee, Mr. Larry
Welch, Mr. Marvin Pollard, Mr.
Paul Romerein and Mrs.
Margaret Spillane, who
consistently assisted in the
administration ofthe programs.
Without their voluntary
participation in Studium
Generale it would have been
impossible to build the fine
reputation this couse has
received.
Further thanks should go to
the many “resource persons”
who, for only a token
compensation, shared their
knowledge and expertise with
us during the Thursday noon
hours. And, of course, my
personal thanks are extended to
the members of the course, and
the many guests from the
community,who filled the Little
Theater to capacity.
I am hopeful that Studium
Generale will be continued in
the coming year and will again
serve as a focal point of our
many educational and,
particularly, humanistic
endeavors on campus. I am
confident that, upon my
resignation as chairman of the
Community Service Committee
and coordinator of this course,
my successor will produce an
eVen better general studies
program at P.C.
At our next meeting of the
Community Service Committee
I shall review its activities,
shall make some recom-
mendations for the future
of that volunteer committee,
and shall cite the reasons for
leaving this committee after
having served on it for the past
12 years.

Campus briefs
Spokane Falls Community
College held its second annual
kite flying competition May 6
featuring $85 in prize money.
Perhaps, with all the wind
available in the Port Angeles
area, such an event could be
started here.
Ten students from Spokane
Falls Community College have
been nominated to appear in the
1975 edition of “Who’s Who in
American Junior Colleges.”
The nominations are based on
their grades, curricular, and
extracurricular activities.
One .. candidate for A$B
president at Bellevue
Community College is Martin
Durkan Jr. Perhaps his name
prompted him to enter the
political scene.
Students at Washington State
University have added a new
event to their sports scene;
water ballooning for distance
and accuracy. The contest,
sponsored by Delta Tau Delta,
is officially known as the Aerial
Water Transport Invitational.
Green River Community
College recently held its Second
Annual Double Bubble Day, a
bubble gum blowing contest.
Frisbees were awarded for
blowing 83 bubbles in one
minute and for blowing the
largest bubble (there is no
mention of how they were
measured).
Vetrans’ club elects officers.
Warren Whittier was elected
the first president of the
Veterans Club at its May 16
meeting.
Walter Bishop was elected
treasurer, and Faygele Singer
was elected secretary. Bob
Willicut is the club’s advisor.
Ihe constitution and by-laws
were also approved, and three
standing committees set up.
These are the financial aid,
political awareness, and social
committees. Whittier and
Bishop will be in charge of the
first two committees, while Bob
Zindel will head the social
committee.
The officers and committee
chairman will comprise the
executive board.
The club will be open to all
vets, but only PC vets can vote.
The meetings will be held for
the rest of the quarter on
Thursdays at 4 p.m. in room
SS2.
Goals are to provide for
veterans and their dependents,
organize social events,
participate in community
affairs, study proposed
legislation, rules and
regulations which may affect
the veteran, lobby in the
Legislature; and provide
assistance to any other groups
interested in helping the
veteran.
The financial aid committee
is now looking for help with
starting a book drop. Anyone
with a textbook no longer
needed may donate it to the
club. To insure getting the book
back the donor must put his
name in it. Any veteran may
then rent the book for a dollar
per quarter. The books may be
givento Mr. Willicut or dropped
in a designated repository.
The club is looking for
veterans wanting to help
through the rest of the quarter
and during the summer to get
activities started.
A look at the artists
‘Chicago VIII’- nothing new
By JEFF BIALIK
As a “Chicago” fan who can’t
help but feel moved everytime I
hear “Beginnings”, “Chicago
VIII” is an album of good
listening pleasure by eight
remarkably talented musical
educators.
To the revolutionary looking
for new trends, radical changes,
and something to gawk about,
“Chicago VIII” is
disappointing.
There isn’t anything new in
this latest edition by the men
from the second city. A running
theme of the LP seems to
suggest a look back at America
with its good-ole-rock-n-roll to a
day-of-reckoning grave calling
of a former President. In
actuality “Chicago VIII” is
merely a look back at “Chicago
VII, VI, and V.”
The music is still well
performed, the instrumentation
in tune, but the material needs a
breath of fresh air.
“Anyway You Want,” written
and sung by Peter Cetera, is
just good-ole-rock-n-roll
Chicago style. The bridge
almost becomes complicated
but the beat is 2-2 all the way.
Robert Lamm does another
rocker “Long Time No See”
with the bari sax sound that
moves the body by sound waves
alone.
An almost acid rock number
by Peter Cetera, “Hideaway,”
is vaguely reminiscent of
“Gimme Shelter” and could
easily have been done by
“Mountain” or “Led Zepplin.”
“Chicago” guitarist Terry
Kath with his almost Hendrixlike way of making it all sound
so easy, sings a mean tune, kid,
towards the end of “Oh, Thank
You Great Spirit,” and does a
calm “one more beer then I’ll
go home” job of “Till We Meet
Again,” a short and pretty
acoustic guitar trip.
The first time I saw
“Chicago” in concert they were
registering 18-year-olds to vote
and campaigning for George
McGovern. Politics and
“Chicago” blend like “Beach
Boys” harmony, and an album
without one comment to save
the world is unheard of. Bobby
Lamm, who I’m sure would do a
great job as a political speech
writer or slogan maker, recalls
the man from Independence
and sings, “America needs you
Harry Truman, Harry won’t
you please come home.”
Besides “Harry Truman” the
single released hit is “Old
Days” by James Pankow and
sung by, who else, Peter Cetera.
It’s a good song except it sounds
too much like “I’ve Been
Searching So Long” to incite
much more than a low roar.
The remaining times, “Brand
New Love Affair (Parts One
and Two),” “Never Been in
Love Before,” and “Ain’t it
Blue,” are jazz rock at its best
and the reason I keep buying
those “Chicago” albums and
keep taping those stupid color
posters on my bedroom walls.
“Chicago VIII” is a nostalgic
look at what the group
accomplished last year and the
year before, but if you’re not
looking for a major breakthrough in musical science or a
cure for the common cold, it’s
still an enjoyable LP.
Boeing offers scholarships
Boeing Company has made
ten scholarships available for
female and minority
community college students in
engineering and business
administration.
The $250 scholarships will be
awarded to each of the ten
studentsfor the academic year,
1975-76, through the State Board
for Community College
Education.
The scholarships are to
encourage larger minority and
female participation in
engineering and business
administration.
The college will submit
names of potential recipients by
July 15. Students are to see Mr.Feiro in the student services
building for applications.
The winners will be decided
by Aug. 17.
Each winner’s progress will
be reported to the board’s office
at the end of each quarter in the
1975-1976 year. Each student
must complete at least nine
units per quarter with, a
cumulative GPA of at least 2.0.
Students who do not
satisfactorily complete nine
units in fall quarter will receive
a letter notifying them that they
must complete a total of 18 units
by the end of winter quarter or
lose the scholarship for the
spring quarter. The remaining
money will be given to alternate
candidates.
Loggers in Centralia
The Peninsula College
logging sports team will travel
to Centralia this weekend to
compete against five northwest
college teams.
Team captain Steve Poppe is
optimistic that his team will do
well in the competition.
The PC team will compete in
four events for the first time in
Centralia. New to the team will
be the tug-of-war, diameter
estimate, caber toss, and
compass course. In the
diameter estimate the
contestant must estimate the
diameter of a standing tree. In
the caber toss, the team wins
which throws an eight-foot tree,
five inches in diameter, the
farthest.
IM sports near end
Spring quarter intramural
sports are almost finished, with
only the final championship
matches left to be played.
IM tennis results show Jennie
Smith and Stacy Baker winners
of the women’s doubles
tournament. Although none of
the other divisions had been
completed at press time, there
are established favorites to win.
In the men’s singles
tournament, Jerry Allen was
favored to beat Ron Nebert. The
team of Tom Adkins and Jerry
Allen was put against Byron
Kalahar and Bill Morris, with
nobody making predictions
about the outcome.
In the mixed doubles match,
both teams for the final match
had not been determined, but
theteamof DarcyCaso and Don
Huston were favoredto take the
title
Similarly, both teams in the
women’s singles tournament
were not known, but Caso was
again favored to win.
Intramural horseshoes are
nearly finished. Judy Riebe
beat Jennie Smith for the
women’s title. At press time,
John Thronsonand Tom Adkins
had not completed their match
for the men’s title.
The final dayto sign up for IM
softball was May 20. Currently
there are enough people signed
up for two teams, but
coordinator Jon Livingston
didn’t expect softball to get off
the ground this year.
Livingston reminds all
students with lockers checked
out in the gym that all lockers
must be cleaned out and locks
and towels returned by June 6.
PC to present talent show
The Peninsula College music
department will present a talent
show May 29 in the Little
Theater.
Koni Kitz, Steve Marchand
and Bruce Burwell are in
charge of the event. Miss Kitz
said it is still possible for
someone to enter his or her act
in the show but all acts must be
in by Tuesday, May 27.
Miss Kitz said the idea of the
talent show is to start
something new on campus and
let the community know what
talent the college students have
to offer. The talent show won’t
be like a jam session, she
added, but hopefully many of
the people who would normally
come to a jam session will
attend the talent show.
The program begins at 8
Thursday evening. There will
be no admission charge.
Poly ball watchdog officials
By NANCY WHITE
Polly Ball is a watchdog. She
also could be called a gadfly and
a crusader. Polly has taken on
the full-time job of keeping our
political officials on their toes.
“Some people call me nosy,”
she said. “I just want to know
how government operates. I’m
busy finding out what the laws
of the state are and seeing that
the different organizations and
political bodies obey the laws
that have been made for the
good of the people.”
Her husband, Claude Ball,
comments: “It’s a little bit like
being in the middle of a
hurricane.”
The Balls are a retired couple
taking classes at Peninsula
College. Polly has taken classes
on wildflowers, mosses, marine
biology and is presently taking
the state and local government
class.
The Balls have lived in the
area permanently since 1965.
Claude was previously in the
Air Force, which had them
moving from country to
country.
Polly’s political interest
didn’t start until 1971. “Things
were very peaceful at that time
at the commissioners’
meetings. Sometimes I and
another person would be the
only members of the public
there. My husband and I would
go occasionally and they acted
so genuinely pleased to see us.”
While Polly’s interest has
grown, the officials’ pleasure
now has lessened.
“They’d just as soon I’d stay
home,” she said. “In fact, they
suggested to my husband
maybe my place was in the
kitchen making bread. He told
me afterwards that he would
pay them to keep me there out
of his way.”
It is a full time job. “Now I
attend on a regular basis the
county commissioners, the
planning commissioners, the
board of zoning adjustment, the
shorelines advisory committee,
and the port commission
meetings,” she said.
Polly also belongs to the
Audubon society, the Olympic
Conservation Council, United
Citizens and the League of
Women Voters.
Claude calls her “a poor
man’s Ralph Nader,” and as far
as he is concerned, “it is better
beingmarried to herthan Ralph
Nadar.”
It is quite an accomplishment
for the woman who looks like
she could be the next door
neighbor out in her garden. Her
haircut is practical, and she
dresses comfortably in a blouse
and slacks.
Polly has discovered many
things in her work.
“What I’ve found isthat there
are many more people who are
concerned about what is going
on. They don’t know the proper
channels to go through, which
people to talk to, which
organizations, or governmental
agencies handle what. I also
find that they want something
done and they are afraid of
having their name be
recognized. Word gets around
that I’m interested in certain
things so they call me. I try to
step in and directtheir efforts to
the right people. I don’t try to
take it over for them; I try to
help them,” she says.
Polly would never consider
public office for herself. “I
think they need somebody on
the outside that can watchdog
them and jolt their conscience a
little bit. I think that people
need someone like that,” she
said.
Keeping well informed is her
main criteria. “For a while,”
she said, “I didn’t know what
things were open to me legally.
I didn’t have the intelligence or
the knowledge to ask for them.
“I don’t have any problems
now getting the information I’m
looking for. I just have to know
the right questions to ask.
Officials won’t volunteer the
information; I have to ask for
specifically what I’m looking
for.”
Her work has not gone
unrewarded. “I feel that I made
the city of Port Angeles, the
Port of Port Angeles and Judge
Moffett, who at that time was
the city and port attorney,
aware of the state
environmental policy act,” she
declares. “Because at one time
theport had plannedon filling in
an area next to their dock under
shorelines permit and dumping
their spoils out at sea.”
Polly then went to the City
Council on the night they were
acting on the application,
asking ifthey studied the effects
on the environment. She asked
for an environmental impact
statement.
She continues: “They didn’t
know what an Environmental
Impact Statement was and
didn’t see any point to it. They
approved it, and I appealed it to
the state Shorelines Hearing
Board.”
The board ruled that
environmental impact should
have been considered, and
disapproved the permit to the
port.
“After thatJudge Moffett told
me that environmental impact
statements are known as P.B.’s
around City Hall, for Polly Ball.
They hadn’t even known what
one was before,” she says.
Polly’s work involves some
close watching. This includes
following the commissioners to
lunch.
“If more than one
commissioner is together
outside of public meeting, they
could, if they talked business,
be in violation of the Open
Meeting Act. They must invite
the public and the news media
and publish it in the local
paper,” she explains.
There was, however, the big
one that got away — the
luncheon meeting where
Commissioner Caulkins
approved the architect’s plans
for the county courthouse.
“I don’t understand that yet
to this day,” she moans. “I
wasn’t at that luncheon; it
wasn’t on the agenda.”
Polly has plansfor the county.
She says: “I would like to have
a lot of people decide the future
of the county. I don’t want to see
a commercial strip from Port
Angeles to Sequim. I don’t want
to see all the farm land gone. I
don’t want to see all the trees,
the timber, the forest groves
and the valleys gone. I don’t
want to see all our county roads
made into straight, 60-foot wide
roads. And I don’t want to see
everything’blacktop and houses
cheek to jowl; but that is the
way it’s going because people
aren’t coming to meetings.”
However, Polly continues to
attend meetings. As Claude
says, “I regret that I have but
one wife to give to my country.”
BOC plans music, salmon bake
In an attempt to end the
school year with a student
activity that might incite some
student interest, the BOC has
agreed to hold a salmon bake
and jam session in the PUB
June 6.
At the May 13 meeting, the
BOC heard Jeff Pope, vice
president, report on the low
attendance by students at the
last dance, even though the
admission was free.
Discussion turned to an end of
the year event and another jam
session was suggested, then the
idea of a salmon bake with a
jam session providing the
entertainment.
At a special meeting held
Friday, May 16, the BOC made
final plans for the event and
allocated $500 to cover all
expenses.
The activity will begin at 6:30
p.m., with dinner served till
9:30 p.m. and the jam session
running continuously till
midnight.
Admission to the salmon bake
will be by ticket only. Tickets
may be picked up from Jim
Lunt, director of student
activities, before May 29.
Tickets will be free with an ASB
card, and family or guest
tickets will be available at the
door at a price of $2 for adults
and students, and $1 for
children 12 and under.
Persons coming to the salmon
bake without pre-sold tickets
cannot be guaranteed they will
get served.
Tacoma poet to be here May 27
Barry Bauska, a Tacoma
poet, will give a reading here on
May 27. Bauska, a teacher of
American literature and
creative writing at the
University of Puget Sound since
1971, has been publishing since
1968.
Next year he and his wife
hope to lead a study tour “down
under,” around the Pacific
Rim.
Bauska’s poetry works soon
to be published are “The
Fisherman” (Puget
Soundings), ‘‘The
Homecoming” (the Drummer),
“Of Cats and Men” (Charas),
and “Tribunal” (Nimrod).
He graduated from
Occidental College in 1968 and
gained his Ph.D. from the
University of Washington in
1971.
Few students came to the
poetry reading given by Alan
Furst on May 13. Students
questioned said it was not
through their lack of interest
that they did not attend, rather
that they did not know about it.
Chess club checkmated
Whatever happened to
interest in intramural
activities? Maybe spring took
it. Anyway the chess club is not
in existence this quarter
through lack of it.
Organizational meetings have
been called several times this
quarterfor the chess club which
started in 1970. Each time too
few people came.
The Chess club met weekly
to play chess for pleasure and
improvement with the help of
better players, intramural
tournaments and competing
with other schools.
Interest in the game surged
after its publicity by Bobby
Fisher and at that time there
were about 35 members of the
PC club. But Dr. Duncan said
the club needs leaders to
survive, and this spring it lost
them, with Steve Kimball and
Charles Ditzel, going to the
University of Washington.
