As fe', April 26,1978 of last week $1200 had been raised in donations from local businesses and students at the College have donated $700 to assure the students their place on the team. Rather than tha students pay ing the whole cost of the $700 donation, ASG approached Col lege President John Hakanson and asked if the administration would split the donation with the students. Hakanson said that he felt that the administra tion could not fund the wrest lers because he could not justify the expense in the light of the recent cutbacks he has asked college departments to make. Hakanson went on to say that he hoped that the students would not fund the wrestlers. However, Hakanson gave no rea son for this last attitude saying only that he thought the fund ing inappropriate. "It was a cold meet, but not too bad." Tipton said. "We were treated considerately but were positioned last in all events. For instance, in the running events we drew the seventh lane and in the field events the last flight and last man."

There were three hills, the first one was Torture Ridge, Knoop said, "it was one-fourth mile stra ight up. After three miles we came to a bridge that was rotting out and the conditions were just as bad," Knoop said. The Cougar baseball team trounced the boys from Jud son Baptist Monday, 17-9 in league competition. Leading the outstanding Cougar scor ing attack were catchers Phil Bird and Rat Leniger. Fine pitching performances were turned in by Raymond Lind ley and BobSimirll. It was "I think that the 3200-meter relay did a good job but the 1600-meter relay ran a bit below their capabilities," Tipton said. The 3200 team consisted of Tom Winters, Dave Rudihauser, Don Brown, and Kelly Britz. They placed fifth with a 7:48.36 while the 1600-meter team took sixth. Joe Jones, Rudihauser, Brown, and Britz turned in a 3:24.56. The final event for the men was the 6400-meter relay. The team of Wanvig, Mark Nugen, Eric Hulstrom, and Oberst ran a 18:25.18 for sixth.

A For all those even remote ly interested in trying out for next years basketball and wrestling rallies, there will be a meeting Thursday, May 4 in CC 101 at 2:30. At this meeting tryout procedures, practice sched ules, and the expectations of each girl that trys out will be discussed. If you are interested but can't attend the meeting, con tact Debbie Baker in Student' Activities office prior to the meeting. "It is really critical that those who seriously plan to try out for the fall rallies att end this meeting because we would like to have our rallies attend rally camp this sum mer. The professionals help the gals with their various routines and they come out a much better squad for it," Baker said. "If no interest is shown," Baker said, "the tryouts will be held this fall as usual and the girls will have to do all their own routines." Page 11
