Fish facility would provide aquatic study ceni The completion of a fish rearing facility at the John Ins keep Environmental Learning Center (ELC) at the College will soon make this campus unique among community colleges in Oregon. According to Jerry Herrmann, director of the ELC, no other community College in the state has an aquatic study area open to full public use. The fish rearing facility, sched uled for completion during Earth Week, April 16 through 22, is designed to be utilized in the study of aquatic organisms such as bass, crappie, trout, bi-valves, (clams), snails and other small organisms, and coho salmon, Herrmann said. "This facility will be used by on-campus curriculums such as wastewater sanitation technolo gy and various biology courses," he said. The ELC also expects the public to benefit from this facil ity, according to Herrmann. It will provide public demon strations of viable fish farming for the homestead and farm, and applied studies of aquaculture for students, he said. "The coho salmon can be successfully reared in our pond situations and would be redistri buted to area persons and agen cies," Herrmann said. The facility was designed as the result of a cooperative effort between the Oregon State De partment of Fish and Wildlife, the College's Water Sanitation Technology department and the ELC staff and has been funded through contributions by the College's Associated Student Government and many other lo cal agencies. Some of the local agencies donating materials are: The Pub lisher's Paper Co., Liberal; Crown Zellerbach Corp., Molalla;Oregon Department of -Fish and Wild life and several local suppliers of such things as cement, plumbing equipment, and circulation pumps. All the labor necessary to finish construction of the facili- ty has been and will be donated by individuals and groups and work study personnel desiring craft, science and other outdoor experiences at this civic project, Herrmann said. \ \ \ '. The ELC recently asked ASG for the additional funds needed to complete the project by the April 21 deadline. Materials still needed are-deck ing and hand rails which will make the Fish Rearing Facility safe for unhampered mobility by handicapped persor small children. The total cost of thes tional materials is $912. College hosts nutrition food fair for elementary stude Physical well-being and a knowledge of living sciences is the focal point of a food fair to be held for approximately 1,900 kindergarten through sixth grade students at the College. The food fair, sponsored by the Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service 4-H Program, will be in the Randall Gym March 13, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and March 14, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. "The fair is being held to help reinforce what students are already learning about nutrition in the schools and provide more information through agencies and publications," Laurel Stul ken, OSU extension agent 4-H youth development program, said. OSU sponsors mini programs on nutrition throughout the state at elementary schools using different animals for each grade. "Sue Kangaroo is a mini nu trition course aimed at first graders," she said. "This helps kids learn about nutrition while making it fun." A total of 50 booths will be placed in the gym, containing information ranging from nu trition to nature. "Part of the booths will be somewhat like a carnival with games they can play to test their knowledge and give tea chers some idea how to make nutrition exciting to learn a- bout," $tulken said. "Sometimes the best way to teach a child about nutrition is to teach him how to properly feed an animal he loves," she said. Organizations and agencies taking part in the food fair include: National Red Cross, March of Dimes, Oregon City Clackamas County Community Action, Tri County Council F ish pond funding tabled The motion to provide addi tional funding for the.Environ mental Learning Center's fish rearing facility was tabled until March 9 at last Thursday's Associated Student Government meeting. The ELC had asked for $912 at the Feb. 23 meeting. The motion to give the facility the money was tabled at that meet- ing until further information about the budget could be made available. "We voted to table it this week because Hallie (Brown, student activities director) wasn't there and we needed more time to check activities and see where the money could be taken from," said Ann Marinos, ASG senator. The motion to fund the entire project had been amended to give the ELC half the money asked for. This was not accepted since it was felt that all the money was needed now instead of half now and half at the end of spring term, said Denise Kline, ASG senator. Most of the senate agrees that the idea to fund the fish rearing facility is a 'good one. The only question is where to get the money, according to ASG senator Richard Weiss. Page 2 "I think it's a great deal for putting the College's best foot forward," said Weiss, "and if we're going to spend money on anything that would promote education and good feeling in the community, this is it." Weiss felt that it was a good idea to give them half now and half later, but also thought that this was not conducive to buying the necessary materials in the large lots needed to get a good price. "But I think that some people don't have a good enough idea of how things function around student government to handle things like that, and in the con fusion the motion got tabled," he said. ’ In other business: —Ben Hansen, editor of the Oregon City Enterprise-Courier and chairman of the Citizens Campaign Committee, talked to ASG about the upcoming elec tion and asked for their support. Hansen asked students to re peat their door-to-door campaign ing and letter writing efforts of last year and also asked them to donate any personal money they could spare. —Debbie Baker, student acti vities counselor, reported that the gymnastics club will have safety tests for students prior to let ting them use the equipment in the gym. —Approved a motion to pay for half the price of 10 season concert tickets to be given to the Humanities Experience class. —Baker asked for student help for the Spring Band Festival, March 17 and 18, sponsored each year for district high school students. Students are needed to help with the concession stand and as campus guides for the visiting students. Those interested are asked to sign up in the Student Activities office.
