You get it prcttv fast." So says Randolph "Hob" David about (i.'IM. and tin Auto Mech anics course lie is taking there. Itoli considers that you've got to work 1 u t if you're willing to do that,, you can't help hut learn something. Boh, win i is a son nf Mr. ami Mrs. Uandolph David ami who has spent must of his life in this area, k'ot his hih school training at C hihupiin Hih School where he played a lot of haskethall as well as participating in other sports. He also served as student hodv president during the ln51 52 school year, his senior year. With the Klamath Kducation Program in operation, Hol en rollel at O.T.I, in September, lhl thinks auto mechanics is a ood course with od in-structtrs--three in mnnler-- Mr. Hailev, Mr. Stone, and Mr. Morri miii, He stat-s that you et a lot f theoretical background, some thing which is difficult to ct in the field through experience. However, the practical sile of the situation isn't neglected either, as a d leal of the time is spent in the auto simp working on student cars, the only charge for which work is for the cost of materials used. Hob and other auto mechanics students also take a number of allied courses, in cluding mathematics, small busi ness management, and economies. With graduation coming up in December, Mob is laying plans for what to do after he receives his diplonja. Iiht now he expects to take an additional term of work in automatic transmissions, a course which is bcin offered by the auto mechanics depart ment this year for the first time. Hob explains that with around NO per cent of the cars now being manufactured having automatic transmissions, it was considered necessary to make available some specialized instruction in the field. I le points out that the course w ill probably also include instruction in power assists (power brakes, power steering, etc.) Hob was interested to learn that the Klamath Kducation Pro gram has been extended two years to August U. VHO. While lie would be receptive to a good job offer after graduation it one came along, he is aNo interested in taking advantage of the ex tension, if possible, in getting further training at O.T.I, in the business field. Such training would cninc in handy, he figures, in realizing his ambition of get ting into business for himself. Hob hopes also that termina tion will give him a lift in be coming a private enterpriser. "If there's any possible chance after termination, if there's a cash settlement, I'd like to go into business for myself. It would be connected with the automotive industry, such as a garage, gas station, or parts shop." For recreation Hob still pursues his high school-originated inter est in basketball. He played junior varsity basketball at O'.T.I. dur ing the 1955-56 season, and plans to play again this year. He has also seen a lot of action with the Sprague River town team, and has played in the Reservation Jaycees' All-Indian tournament three years. Hob volunteered a strong en dorsement of the Klamath Kdu cation Program, stating : "I think that's one of the great est things this whole termination program has brought forth. A large proportion of the guys that are going to school would never have had a chance to go. If one guv makes a success it's worth while." Hob feels that termination is a difficult subject right now to sie up, indicating that he is undecided as to whether he will stay in or withdraw from the Tribe. "It depends oi) what kind of deal they set tip Tor remaining members." Hob does feel that federal pur chase woidd be the best means of disposing of the tribal assets. Ik believes that other plans would burden the t'imber market and that the "federal government it self could proceed with sustained yield of the timber." With school starting September .ft) Hob plans to move his family, which has increased by two since the end of the last sclmol year with the birth of twins Kerri and Terri on July 13, down to O.T.I, within the next few days. : () ' flSf "Don't touih anything IMitli, Cliarlii uirrd the Immi hitmell."
