We get them fired in a questionable manner and take the University to court over the dismissal. With a mini mum of legal effort the court battle lasts six,, seven, maybe eight years. "After that, we find a new office." He is very convincing and re assuring. "Nothing to worry about. They pay all the bills, including the phone, and they even pay to move youYbooks and pencils at the end of the court case." The clincher in the soft sell is "the University falls for it every time," brags the salesman. "I'll come back tomorrow," offers the eager solicitor. Then his eyes catch a fleeting glimpse of weakness in the victim's face. He swoops in for the kill with "just think of all of the facilities availableto you, and the experts surrounding you, and the atmos phere. Just sign this form and you can have. the office to morrow. Another client just left, so we have a vacancy for you." Does this sound far-fetched? A little? You bet it is!

Being curious, as I am, I asked Mr. Taylor if he had approached the administration with the pro posal.

To me it seems that the col lege administration is hoping to pass the buck to the students, until the two young men return with international recognition, they they will take most or all of the glory. I feel that for $700, the stu dents and administration can kick a few bucks out of a line item in their budgets. This trip is a great chance to show what Clackamas Com munity College can do when we act as a community, rather than two separate entities. This is a good timefor the administration to put into practice their words and ideas about cooperation and support of the student body and to set an example by getting involved. is worse is that such an event (not the rental of offices, but the procedure outlined) has oc curred here. The University released Mich ael Papadopoulos, former mathe matics professor,eightyears ago. He was just moved from his of fice on March 15. It seems ironic. Of course the University had its hands tied. The legal issue provided grounds enough to not evict Papadopoulos. Yet the equipment and the space was tied up for eight years.

The administrator in charge of allotting offices should reexamine the policies and include logical clauses that would eliminate the possibility of having an office occupied by someone no longer actively as sociated with the University. Neither problem is worth wor rying about singly, especially since both individuals are gone.
