Lets signed on as an in-

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

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

April 6, Richard Taylor,
Ig coach at this college,
■fore the Associated Stu-
{Government asking for
to send two Clackamas
Irsto compete in the Pan
In Games in Caracas,
Hain June.
It two wrestlers,
Tim
[and Tom Gilbo, were cho-
Itof 435,000 to represent
■tedStates as members of
■forWrestling Team.
Being curious, as I am, I asked
Mr. Taylor if he had approached
the administration with the pro
posal. Mr. Taylor said that he
had but was quickly shuffled
over to ASG to see if funding
could come from students, rat
her than administration.
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.
It another situation pointing
at odd office distribution tactics,
when Gordon Gilkey stepped
down from Dean of the College
of Liberal Arts he was sent to a
cubbyhold hardly fit for a gradu
ate student, let alone a professor
of lengthy tenure.
Both instances point to a need
for closer supervision of office

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

Neither problem is worth wor
rying about singly, especially
since both individuals are gone.
