Vashon Island attracts bundles ofleaders Student leaders traveled to Vashon Is- land for the '71 leadership conference this year instead of to Waskowitz as has been in the past. Over one-hundred students and faculty arrived at the camp Saturday morning, October 10. It was then made known through the agenda, that the purpose of the conference was to help student leaders communicate, negociate and be able to come to a group concensus, not only with each other, but also with faculty and administration. Instead of using the traditional lecture type system, main topics were dis- cussed in groups of ten, with each group headed by a selected student leader. The first idea presented was the leader-member concept, in which pre- pared exercises identified the basic types of leaders. Problems and rights of the minority were emphasized as one member, unknown to the rest of the group, purposely stuck to one opinion no matter how much the oth- ers disagreed. i..J The movie Twelve Angry Men was shown which brought out the use of persuasion and influence. In the com- munications exercise students leamed the importance of clear and concise speaking by way of games that pro- hibited any type of communication. Parliamentary procedure was intro- duced by Al Gehri, then delegates tested their knowledge by participating in a simulated student council. Following Mr. Merlin Epp's talk on student council being what the stu- dents make it. the conference was eval- uated. Comments were handed to Bill Hartung, general chairman, about the curfew, the dance, fifty dozen cupcakes and pop served as refresh- ments, cabins as opposed to dorms, and other pros and cons that generally compared Vashon to Waskowitz. Thus, the weekend ended as the ferry, with weary delegates aboard departed forthe mainland. if ,.... .l . ,. l 1 -EN 'YN 0 ...4.....v-o--A' 1 r 44-...M ....... ,- ,,...., 410 l4 -NN

During one of Vashon's quieter moments, three students, above, escape from the crowd for a short walk along the beach.
