The student activities Football finished demise of football came around," said board member Ralph Groe- ner. "Football became a political 'football' with a few very vocal people deciding that it (football) would be the death of Clacka- mas Community College. "My concern is a philosophi cal one in that we should decide curriculums by whether or not they benefit the students, not by who yells the loudest." Larry Wright is one of the board members who felt that the decision should be recon sidered. "I felt that because the con cerns that I had seemed to be answered," Wright said. There seemed to be a local need and we had administrative assurances that there would be in-district recruitment and that there would be better coordina tion between staff and students to insure that football players would finish the academic year, he said. After the meeting, Football Coach Dave Brown assured each playerthatthey would be assisted in finding another place to play football. ■ The football players will have to go somewhere else and pay out of district tuition, according to Hudson.

Classes are required to have at least 12 students to to continue. "P.E. majors who want to go into coaching or teaching foot ball will have to go somewhere else to get the playing experience they need to get a job," Hud son said. “It's really going to be dulls ville around here in the fall for the younger high school stu dents who are interested in col lege life activities," he said. “Without football it's going to be more difficult for us to recruit this type of student." office will provide those interest ed with the meeting place which could change from week to week.

Bunny gives all for science By Juleen Mehus For The Print Buck. Remember that name? He was the bunny rabbit who gave his all for science this week at Clairmont Hall. Agri-Business students study ing Animal Anatomy and Physi ology winter term taught by instructor Lynn Reagan, have had some unusual experiences. Have you ever tried to assem ble the skeleton of a cat? Do you know how many bones a cat has? Students found that if you counted all the vertebrae, the ribs, the metacarpals, the sesa moids and hyoid you would have — and then someone would loose the dewclaws again and you would have to start count ing over again. Have you ever dissected a bovine female reproductive tract? Have you ever seen an ovary or an infundibulum? Well, anatomy students have now. And then Buck arrived. He was ah old breeding rabbit owned by Parbara Pitney. He was headed for that great bunny rabbit land in the sky via the stew.pot. Instead, in the name of science, he gave his all for the students in the Animal Anatomy and Physiology class.] Buck arrived P.O .A: (de arrival) and provided anexcel opportunity to learn, to seel to touch all the anatol parts the students had! studying. Buck's visceral carefully examined with pl ular attention paid to his gestive system, his espial system, his vascular systeml his uro-genital system« also provided an opportuj for students to observe his] cular system; his skeletoffl including bones, cartilage joints; his teeth structim;] nervous system; his skin tisS and his special senses of si hearing, taste and smell.« Cycle class focuses on safe!

Primarily designed for 'stu dents who are living away from home and who are not covereu by any other insurance, this combination policy also offers a $5,000 major medical.plan. "The amount of hospital room and board coverage is ap proximately 80 percent of the basic cost for up to 30 days," Hartley said.
