Mary Carol Poulsen
by Michael "O.J." Nelson
How does a middle-aged mother of three teenagers get
involved with an organization which has been labeled "a
hotbed of radicalism" and an "arm of the international
communist conspiracy?" Only her hairdresser knows for sure.
The woman is Mary Carol Poulsen, known to her friends as
'IVfl.C." For five years she has served as the ASUN secretary.
This June she will be quitting.
According to Twig Daniels, faculty advisor to the Student
Y, Mary Carol assumed the job thanks to a beautician. Daniels
had been searching for someone to fill the position with no
luck.
She confided in her hairdresser and the hairdresser said she
knew someome who might fill the requirements. That person
was Mary Carol.
MC has filled the requirements and more, according to
students who have worked with her. Student leaders have
called her "a hard worker, the best there is," and "a true
friend."
John Humlicek, former ASUN first vice president, said she
is "always willing to help students with their problems."
Daniels said at one time so many students were telling MC
about their academic and personal problems that "she had to
keep a running chart."
But Mrs. Poulsen is more than a "Dear Abby."
"She has more jokes than Carter's has pills," said Daniels,
tut most of them you couldn't print in the paper."
Humlicek said MC was "really over-worked" during the
May 1970 student strike. Despite the hassle, he said, she
"somehow managed to keep her sense of humor."
Mary Carol agreed that the strike didn't bother her too
much because summer vacation came right on its heels.
However, another crisis made her decide to resign.
Said MC "It was co-ed visitation. After that one I knew I
couldn't go through another crisis. If I had to go through that
again I'd be in a straight jacket."
She said she was sympathetic to the students during the
dispute, but she was strained by the extra work. ,
"I almost stayed," she said, "because I believed there
probably won't be any major problems (such as the co-ed
visitation issue) next year. But then I remembered I had
thought there wouldn't be any problems this year. As long as
there are students there will be crises."
Steve Fowler, out-going ASUN president, said he was "sad
to see her resign," but he could understand the reason.
