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.

"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

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
