cheese, PSU improves with age 1968. As the executive director, he once again had a tie to Portland State as a community leader. "Portland was be­ ginning to have more radical move­ ments, from the hippies, who were mostly over at Reed, but some were at PSU too. They were always protesting something," Jumping into the Life Insurance business during the '70s, Hostetter pushed himself to his limits until he suf­ fered from a breakdown, and was diag­ nosed as manic-depressive. "I have never been back in a hospital since," He is currently working on a book to help others that suffer from manic de­ pression and hopes to counsel men his own age to help them understand their affliction. To cope with his own, Hostet­ ter changed his career yet once again, and is currently working at Wacky Willy's, a surplus outlet that sells things which no one really knows what to do with. He enjoys the low key atmo­ sphere, but is planning to move on soon and dedicate more time to his book. On PSU, Hostetter has only praise. "Each president is getting better and bet­ ter. I think that she (Judith Ramaley) has got the right idea. I'm hoping my grand- kids go there someday." He speaks of the recent budget changes, "I think they were smart to limit athletics, and contin­ ue with educating." He does see prob­ lems not only with the funding, but the representation that higher education has in state government. "The people have to get involved, and get their representa­ tives representing them, to actually get some action on the problems," he said. —Casi Massingill Cast Massingill 1 57
