Photo ’by Brian Snook Durwood Thomas displays a model of the Navy World War II fighter plane he is building in full scale at home. Thomas keeps busy with several other hobbies besides his involvements as department chairperson of law enforcement, fire science and graphic arts at this college. Thomas said that it is four feet high and will hold 12 gallons of gas, and is an exact dupli cate of the real thing. "I hope itwon'ttake 10 years to build and I know I won't get sidetracked on sailboats," Thomas said. About 12 years ago Thomas and his friends rebuilt a Piper Cub (J3). Since that time, he has helped rebuild about five or six other aircraft. Thomas has been flying for years as a hobby. When his plane is finished he plans to fly to Ashland or San Francisco as his first trip. When Thomas isn't planning and working on his plane he often routs signs out of red wood. Payne tells study goals Members of the Blue Ribbon Athletic Studies Committee were recently selected by the Clackamas Community College Board of Education to study the athletics programs at CCC. The committee elected Anna Payne, Milwaukie, citizen chairperson at their first meeting. The committee will be looking into every aspect of the intercollegiate program, said Payne. "We will be looking at each sport separat ely," she said, "not just football." These sports include volleyball, basket ball, cross-country, baseball, golf, wrestling and soccer. The sports will be broken down into men's and women's teams for the pur pose of the study, according to Payne. "The studies will be concerned with the expense of each sport and the amount of participation," she said. "We hope to figure out the degree of enrollment and the per centage of turnout and interest in the com munity." 18 (B) _ 28.86 0.54 0.60 19 16.19 -0.05 0.73 I |4I I 1 20 8.29 -0.81 0.19 21 3.44 -0.23 0.49 • I II¡5'I I I I I 22 31.41 20.98 -19.43 The CCC board had intended that the committee be made up of persons both for and against the athletic program but nearly everyone has approached the subject with an open mind, according to Payne. "Generally, all are supportive of the col lege whether or not they are in favor of the intercollegiate sports program," she said. Payne has been very involved with CCC in the past. She worked as the head of the Clackamas Community College Foundation door-to-door campaign during the last bud get election. "That's where I heard the citizens of the community questioning the intercollegiate sports program," she said.

I discovered that the prisoners at Mc Neil Island Federal Prison in Washington do the routing for the monuments so I spent a day there observing and taking notes. I even ate lunch with them and they were very eager to be of help," Thomas said. Thomas has also studied art in South ern Germany and in an advertising art school in Portland. Some of the signs Thomas has done are for Fashion Lande at Danielson's Shopping Center, the redwood sign at Still Meadows, both located in Oregon City, and the Wild Strawberry florist sign located on Beaver creek Road. centimeters 23 72.46 -24.45 55.93 Colors by Munsell Color Services Lah 'S
