Evan explains 4- year program
President Dan Evans and
other representatives from
Evergreen University held a
press conference at Peninsula
College on Jan. 22 to discuss
the proposed two-year
bachelor’s degree program
scheduled to begin next fall.
According to Evans, the
program is aimed at students
with junior status seeking a
bachelor’s degree. He said
the program is a “coordinated study approach” — a
predetermined program of
classes on a 20 to 1 studentteacher ratio. He said the
program is “sort of a super
course” and would .require
students to carry 16 quarter
hours.
Evergreen representatives
conducted a survey to determine what the exact needs of
area students are so the
program will be structured to
serve the greatest number of
people. Evans said the program would utilize five
teachers from Evergreen plus
part-time visiting faculty in
humanities and fine arts.
“The program will include
strong elements of history,
philosophy, music, art and
literature,” he said. “We
tend to look at the lecture as
a passive way of learning,
and the seminar as an active
way. Therefore we set our
classes up on a seminar
level.”Byron Youtz, Evergreen
provost, said, “Our feeling is
that after we’ve done this
two year sequence, we’ll take
a look and see what our next
offering ought to be.” He
said other programs could
include environmental
sciences, business or other
academic areas which drew
enough public interest.
Evans said, “We can put
together a cohesive program
for students with junior
standing without all the complexities a four year school
would require. We hope in
the next few years that we
will be able to keep expanding our program if things go
well for us.
“We have embarked on
one other off-campus
program to date, at Vancouver. The decision to go to
Vancouver was a natural one
because of the size of the
community. Port Angeles is
second because there has
been more interest indicated
on the part of the people,”
he said.
Evans said, “the focus
nationally has been on Evergreen and a few other institutions that are trying new
things. We’re brand new and
we started during the peak of
campus revolts. We had sort
of a ‘triple whammy’ on us:
we were new, we were doing
things differently, and we
started during such an
upheaval.”
Evans said Evergreen
graduates are proving their
abilities as well as those of
the three regional universities. “I think we can say
our record for students
accepted to graduate schools
is impressive. Our first Ph.D.
came from Stanford and
graduated with honors.”
Evans said the coordinated
study approach has several
advantages over other
programs.
“First of all, we’re flexible
enough to go with whatever
the community wants. We
can do our own scheduling.
Students gel to know the
faculty very well. Students
can get personal recommendations prior to entering
graduate school, whereas,
often completing school in a
larger institution, the faculty
often does not know the
students well enough to write
those recommendations.
Also, our time schedule is much more flexible. If class
is going great and the time is
up, the class doesn’t have to
quit. There are no bells.’

poems to Jack Estes of Peninsula’s Ehgligh Department
by Thursday, Feb. 8. Those
who register will meet with
Matson in workshop sessions
and personal conference.
Editorial
Speak out against Tuition increase
The proposed college tuition increase which is now
before the state legislature is not consistent with the intent
of the Community College Act of 1967, nor with the wage
and price guidelines issued by President Carter.
The Community College Act outlines the intent of the
state to make higher education available to a greater
segment of the people by removing the barriers which
prevent many citizens from seeking and attaining their
educational goals. One such barrier is the cost of higher
education.
In the last biennium, tuition and fees were raised by
legislative action. The Council for Post-Secondary Education
has now proposed that tuition and fees increase as the cost
of instruction increases. This would be directly in conflict
with the “open door” policy as the increase in costs would
most affect those who can least afford it.
The purpose of the last increase was “to maintain the
level of quality in higher education”—but this is not
necessarily the effect it has had. The state’s general fund
budget has been unable to adequately support the
educational system and Gov. Ray’s proposed budget, if
approved, would mean an additional budget cut. In effect,
students are getting less than they are paying for.
The cost of quality instruction surely will not decline with
today’s spiraling inflation. The cost of teachers’ salaries
alone would mean an increase in tuition. Although teachers
deserve a decent salary, students should not be made to
suffer educationally at their expense.
The proposed tuition increase would raise community
college tuitions 12 percent, a figure certainly not in keeping
with President Carter’s guidelines.
The Council of Representatives and Presidents (CORE) of
Washington community colleges has drafted a paper for
presentation to the legislature asking the legislature not to
approve the proposed increase. We commend their stand
and back them wholeheartedly.
It is time the legislature, the governor, and the people of
our state reassess both the purpose and value of education,
and give it a priority in funding which will insure high
quality instruction. Quality must not be sacrificed for false
values and bureaucratic maneuverings with an already
overburdened budget. Education is an investment in our
future we can ill afford to do without.
According to CORE, “tuition is a direct taxation on
students in the form of a user’s fee. The proposed increase
in tuition is therefore in direct opposition to the promise of
the Governor not to raise taxes this biennium. Higher
Education is not a personal luxury subject to a user’s luxury
tax; it is a social necessity which should be recognized in
policy funding.”
We encourage students to write state legislators and
protest the tuition increase proposal. Make yourselves
heard and demand that the legislature fulfill its obligation
to the people by making education available to everyone,
at a reasonable cost. We are the buyers; we need not let
the state price us out of the market.

A look at the artists
‘Superman’ gets superfilm rating
By RACHEL LEWIS
and NANCY KILMER
“Superman, the Movie’’ is
a flight into fantasy. There is
no significant social comment, no sex, no violence.
It’s an escape from reality
with heroes and happy
endings.
Early in the film, the child
of Krypton is launched
towards Earth by his parents
(Marlon Brando and Susannah York) as his home planet
is annihilated by cosmic
forces. The special effects are
incredible, even better than
“Star Wars.’’
Once on Earth, Superkid is
taken in by Glenn Ford and
Phyllis Thaxter, a couple of
farmers named Kent. When
Pa Kent dies, Clark, then 18,
takes off for the North Pole
where he spends the next 12
years learning about Krypton
through a projection of his
father.
At 30, Clark Kent beats
feet back to civilization and
Metropolis where he secures
a job at The Daily Planet.
Here Lois Lane (Margot
Kidder) somewhat reluctantly enters his life, and Supe
begins his campaign for
“truth, justice, and the
American way.’’
Enter arch-villian Lex
Luther (Gene Hackman) and
arch-idiot Otis (Ned Beatty)
in a scheme to make a new
West Coast by blowing off
the old one with an
experimental United States
missile. Their plan is thwarted by Lex’s secretary, Miss
Teschmacher (Valerie Perrine). Her statement as she
saves Superman’s life, “Why
can’t I ever get it on with the
good guys?’’, brilliantly
sums up her role in the film.
Christopher Reeve’s Clark
Kent is deliciously dull, the
perfect foil for Superman.
He is very convincing as the
Man of Steel.
The film effectively makes
the transition from the 1938
comic strip to the world of
the 1970’s. Mario Puzo’s
script is light, easy to follow,
very enjoyable.
See the movie; you’ll love it.
Plant poachers prevail
Eight plants disappeared
from the PUB before Christ-.
mas, and Jim Lunt, director
of student activities, says
somebody’s mother or father
got a cheap Christmas
present.
This is not the first year
plants have been missing. It
also happened the previous
Christmas.
Mr. Lunt said a few of the
plants were returned by
dormies at the end of spring
quarter last year. More
plants have been ordered, at
a cost of $65, he adds.
“The dormies should not
be blamed for all the disappearing plants,’’ he says.
“Although one or two of
them might be somewhere in
the dorm,’’ he adds.
Interview workshop
Peninsula College will
offer an interview workshop
beginning Tuesday, Feb. 6.
The workshop will meet
from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays
and Wednesdays for a total
of five two-hour sessions.
The workshop will cover
the elements of an interview,
including how to secure an
interview, how to organize
information, and how to use
a resume. Class members will
practice interviewing and
being interviewed.
Kathy Murphy will teach
the 1 credit workshop.
Anyone interested can
register for this class in the
main office.
Film to show
“Sunday, Bloody Sunday’’ will be the feature film
Monday evening, Feb. 5, in
the Little Theater. This is the
fifth movie to be shown in
the series of modern foreign
films.
“Sunday, Bloody Sunday’’ is a film about the
necessity and beauty of
coping with one’s existence
as one finds it, of dealing
with what is, instead of what
probably will never be.
The film is mostly about
how two people make do in
what they both recognize as
the final days of their affairs
during which London itself
sometimes seems to be on the
verge of turning into an
hallucination.
The cast includes Peter
Finch, showing the versatility
and intelligence which a
performer has, and Murray
Head, who plays a narrow
unrewarding role wedged
between two giants. His
victim-beneficiaries are
creatures of enormous
complexity. Finally there is
Glenda Jackson, recipient of
an Academy Award.

Participation booms in competitive IM’s
Student interest and participation in intramural activity went up this quarter with
over 100 entrants in the four
eventsIM director Nancy Mcinke
Bell is happy with the large
turnout but is still concerned
about the lack of dorm
students involved.
BASKETBALL – There
are seven teams in the IM
basketball competition this
season which accounts for
well over half of the students
in the program.
These teams are presently
competing in a double round
robin tournament in which
each team will play all the
other teams twice. After this
is completed, they will begin
a double elimination tournament.
After the first week of
play, the Drooling Dribblers
recorded two wins and the
Board Hoarders, Faculty,
Heads and NaNu’s II each
won one.
BACKGAMMON — This
quarter marks the first IM
backgammon competition in
Peninsula history. Thirtyfive people are signed up,
divided into six leagues.
Backgammon play is set
up in round robin warm up
matches and a double elimination championship tournament. ‘
varsity basketball players are
on two of the teams, Paul
Beck and Ron Sather on the
Board Hoarders and Jack
Estes and Mike Clayton on
the faculty squad.
This rule was examined
and voted upon by the team
captains, who unanimously
decided to leave it the way it
was.
IM BOARD — The intramural board met last week
BADMINTON — The
badminton tourney began
about a week ago with Pam
Beard, Nancy Bell and Karen
Hopkins winning their
matches in the women’s
singles competition.
Badminton singles play
has 10 persons in women’s
singles and 12 in men’s
singles. Five teams are
playing in men’s and
women’s doubles and six
teams competing in mixed
doubles.
BOWLING- Intramural bowling is played with one
double elimination tournament and 16 students have
signed up.
After the first week of play
Lloyd Cummings, Andy
Golyer, Sharon Haymond,
Kerry Berlin, Brian Ripley,
Shawn Moorehead, Jim Golyer and Greg Uvila all won
their matches.
In opening play, Jim
Golyer leads in the high game
department with a 235 and
Sharon Haymond’s win over
last year’s bowling champ
Scott Guggenmos marked
the beginning of a competitive tournament.
CONTROVERSY—As the
IM basketball season got
underway a rule concerning
varsity and ex-varsity students competing in their
sport was protested. The rule
says that this is allowed but
you cannot have more than
one on a team. Two ex
varsity basketball players are
on two of the teams, Paul
Beck and Ron Sather on the
Board Hoarders and Jack
Estes and Mike Clayton on
the faculty squad.
This rule was examined
and voted upon by the team
captains, who unanimously
decided to leave it the way it
was.
IM BOARD — The intramural board met last week
and discussed the idea of
entering a regional tournament in Colorado or
Wyoming sponsored by
Schlitz Beer. This involves
sending a team of 10 students
from Peninsula to compete
in swimming, track, volleyball and basketball.
The details of this tourney
are still in the planning stage.
The board also discussed
the procedure for picking the
intramural athlete of the
year.
Cyclist races to college
By MARLOUIS SMITH
If a cyclist passes you
while you’re driving to
school early in the morning,
it’s probably Marc Hilt on
his way to college.
Marc has lived in Port
Angeles all his life, and was
graduated from Port Angeles
High in 1975. This is his first
year at Peninsula College.
He plans to complete two
years here before moving on
to another school if Peninsula doesn’t have the program offered he’s looking
for.
He became interested in
racing when he saw a girl
moving with great speed
down the road. They stopped
and talked for a while, and
later Marc decided to buy a
pro bike. It was two years
ago when he started cycling.
Marc has since devised his
own training schedule. He is
in the process of developing
long distance riding and
alternating it with speed
workouts. He rides up to
Hurricane Ridge as often as
four times a week. Starting
on the first of January this
year he has been cycling in
the Dungeness area.
His January training
schedule consists of low inch
gears with no emphasis on
speed. “My goal is to have
1,000 miles in by the end of
January,” he says.
Marc is looking for someone who would be willing to
pace him for two to three
hours a day, once or twice a
week in the Dungeness area.
The person must have his
own motorcycle and be an
excellent driver, for it can be
dangerous for both the
cyclist and the driver if something goes wrong.
Along with his training as
a cyclist he says, “diet, sleep,
your equipment and your
physical ability are very important.” He is a vegetarian
and has cut down his consumption of eggs to once a
week. The main thing in his
diet is carbohydrates, needed
to produce the energy burned
up during training. Training
burns 600 to 900 calories an
hour; racing usually 1,000 to
1,200 an hour. “Water loss is
quite high, so you have to
keep your temperature
down. If it gets high, you
lose all your energy,” says
Marc.
His goal last year was to
win the Washington state
road championships. He
placed second for the silver
medal, which qualified him
for the national championships to be held in
Wisconsin. In the Washington state time trials he placed
third.
His first race of the ’79
season will be held in Seattle
on Sunday, April 1.
Marc’s overall condition is
better than it was last January. He plans to dominate
the Washington, Oregon and
Western Canada racing
scene.
There is always work,
along with the possibility of
injury that racers must
accept. “A competitive rider
is a proud guy, who pushes
himself further than anyone
else. It’s what makes winners
and losers.” says Marc.
Marc’s other hobbies are
cross-country skiing, running, hiking and fly fishing.
But there is little time for
them, with every spare minute spent on training for
competitive cycling.
Pirates looking for Win
Basketball, like any other
sport, is a game of breaks. So
far this season the breaks
have gone the wrong way for
the Peninsula Pirates, who
just keep coming up short.
The Centralia Blazers
visited Peninsula Jan. 25 and
robbed the Pirates of their .
first league victory, 63-61.
Peninsula led throughout
the game but Centralia hung
in there until it counted. The
score was tied after Scott
Gray sunk a jumper for PC
with 2:30 left to play. The
Blazers worked the ball
around and called a timeout.
This led to a two-minute stall
and a 10-foot jump shot with
seven seconds remaining to
win the ball game for Centralia.
After playing four quarters of good basketball the
Pirates came up empty.
Two nights later, the
Pirates played host to the
Western Washington Uni
versity jayvees.
Dave Porter, Mike Madison and Brett Gregory led
the Pirates in points that
night and they played well as
a team. The game was close
and went down to the wire.
After a wild finish resulting in a tie, the two teams
came out to play a final overtime period. Peninsula managed to build a three point
lead but some smart fouls on
the part of the Vikings got
them the 74-73 win.
Following these heartbreaks, Peninsula traveled to
Highline for a non-league
game. The Pirates suffered a
let down as described by
coach Mike Clayton, and
were destroyed 108-68.
“After playing well and
constantly losing by one or
two points it’s really tough to
keep it going,’’ explained
Clayton.
Dave Porter led Peninsula
with 16 points and nine rebounds in the Highline contest. Dwain Scott had his best
offensive night with 13
points.
The Pirates played Grays
Harbor at home Wednesday
night and are on the road to
Bellingham to try and even
the score with the WWU
jayvees tonight.
Pirate Pete’s Pal
Guard shows depth
“The team was more
guard oriented last year than
it is this year, the guards were
better last year but we have
better depth and more guys
can play guard this year,”
said Bret Gregory.
Bret plays guard for Peninsula’s basketball team. He
is from Clallam Bay, where
he lettered in basketball as
well as football.
Bret likes all kinds of
sports. He also likes just
being outdoors.
He is majoring in general
studies, but doesn’t know if
he will continue on to a fouryear institution. If he does he
plans on studying and not
playing.
“Rob Sande was a good. We don’t get a guard with his
capabilities in such a small
school,” said Bret. “We just
do our best and take shots
when we get the chance.”
Student Standout
Vici likes variety
By RACHEL LEWIS
“I’m taking a lot of different classes because I might
find something else I’d like
to do,” says Vici Hall, Peninsula College sophomore.
At present, though, Vici
would like to be a grade
school teacher. She says she
once thought about being a
high school biology teacher
but decided against it.
Along with teaching she
would like to coach gymnastics or tennis. “I like it
when a person can show self
improvement but still be on a
team,” she says.
Last year Vici played on
the tennis team. She said it
was fun and plans to turn out
for the team this year. It was
the first time she competed
playing tennis. However, it
was not her first competition.
Vici was a member of the
Port Angeles School gymnastics team beginning in her
sophomore year. She still
enjoys gymnastics and judges
from, and occasionaly helps
her high school team.
Vici has a part in the upcoming musical “Stop the.
World”. She plays a German
maid and sings a solo. She
says the play is like Greek
Theater, a little different, but
she is excited about being in
the production.
Vici is a member of
Clowns Unlimited, a group
started by Melissa Trivich.
“I like getting dressed up
and doing weird things, but
nobody knows who you
are,” she says. Last summer
the clowns were involved
with Arts in Action and Vici
says she liked being able to
play with the children.
In her spare time she likes
to draw, and took what she
thought was a drawing class
-last quarter. It turned out to
be a graphics-type class but
Vici says she enjoyed it anyway. “Drawing is something
I do for myself,” she says.
At present Vici is living in
the dorm and doesn’t find it
bad because she comes from
a large family. “Whenever I
want to be by myself 1 shut
the door, turn on the radio
and just lie on my bed,” she
comments.
Next year Vici plans to
attend the University of
Washington. “If they don’t
take me I’ll go to Western
Washington University,” she
says. “They’ll be happy to
see me.”
Foothills to feature PC poet
Todd Jefferson, English
instructor at Peninsula
College, will be reading for
the Foothills Poetry series at
noon Thursday, Feb. 8, in
the Little Theater.
Mr. Jefferson received his
B.A. in English from St.
Andrews College in North
Carolina, and his M.A. from
Western Washington University. His poetry has been
published in Jeopardy,
Human Voice, Folio, Liberation, St. Andrew’s Review,
South and West International, Bellingham Review, and
Green Horse for Poetry.
Mr. Jefferson has won
several writing awards
including the 1978 Jeopardy
Poetry Prize and second
prize in the 1972 Crucible
Literary Contest.
“It’s good for people to
understand that writing is
not something that has
happened in the past; it’s
something that is going on
now,’’ says Mr. Jefferson.
“Twentieth century poetry
has had to compete with
other media such as film, and
it’s pretty much lost the
battle. One of the reasons
that it has failed to hold its
own is because film reflects
people’s lives in an easily
identifiable way.
“In order for poetry to
have any relevance to
people’s lives, it has to do the
same thing. It has to provide
an easy identification
between the reader and the
metaphors and images in the
poems. This means that, like
film, no subject is taboo for
poetry.
“This.doesn’t mean that
poetry should be simplistic,”
says Mr. Jefferson. “On the
contrary, the more specific
and realistic poetry becomes,
the more complex and
symbolic it is. In other
words, the trend towards
understandable poetry is a
healthy one.”
Scholarships available; few students applying
Over $6,000 is available to
PC students in scholarship
money for the upcoming

‘Fact is Fantasy’ surprises campus
He calls himself “the lay
ombudsman of the impossible fact.”
“All matter is alive.”
“Time doesn’t exist.”
“Space is nothing.”
“The only tangible things
that exist are love and
matter,” lectured Dan Peger
to the forestry ecology class
Friday afternoon.
Dan Peger was born in
Cleveland, Ohio, then moved
to Fairbanks, Alaska where
he lived for 25 years before
moving to Sequim, where he
now resides. He said his purpose is to inform young
people of what we are doing
to our environment.
Dan claims that Fairbanks
is the most polluted city in
the world, which is why he
moved to Sequim, where he
was “free of the polluted air
and water and had a chance
to appreciate nature.”
Although he failed to
bring any of his theories to a
conclusion, or back them up
with any factual evidence, he
did make one fact
obvious:“He is an individual
doing his own thing,” says
Penny Richmond, a PC
student who heard Peger
speak.
