Football
With the announcement of
Clackamas’ award came the
announcement that Clackamas
will be reinstating its football
program next fall. The team
looks to be a good one with
many promising prospects
who will try to make the
Cougars competive. One of
those prospects will be the
cougars’ new coach, an ex
professional quarterback who
once played for the champion
ship New York Jets. Although
he isn’t one of the better known
players in the history of the
game, Athletic Director Chuck
Hudson feels his presence will
be quite an aid to the program.
“We think that with our new
coach our whole program will
profit,” Hudson said, “not only
in the field but in the box of
fice.”
The announcement of Mr.
Namath’s appointment as head
coach is expected to be made
sometime this week.
Namath will also be teaching
some courses at Clackamas
next year according to Hud
son, some of which include,
Bad Acting 101, “How to Wear
Brut and Still Breathe Nor
mally;” a special course-gram,
and Human Relations 121, a
Study in “How to Dress Com
fortably and Get Away With
It.”
Some of the players who will
play for Coach Namath next
year include, Billy Namath,
Beaver Falls, Penn., Mark
Snell,
New York,
Tom
Margret, son of actress Ann-
Margret, and Jimmy Unitas,
Baltimore.

“This is my big chance: for the

“and I’m not about to let it pass
me by without a reasonable try

Rugby out
The Clackamas Community
College rugby program will be
dropped from the agenda next
year because of “A lack of in

still sinking
According to a popular
belief, McLouglin Hall is
rapidly, sinking into the
earth. This is not so, ac
cording to one science
department member,
who wishes to remain
anonymous. We shall
call him Jones.
“Oh, McLoughlin Hall
may be sinking very
slowly at the rate of a
fraction of an inch a year,
but nothing like the
massive collapse which
has been reported,” said
Jones, “What has been
reported is an optical
illusion caused from the
sun’s rays refracting off
rainwater.”
When reminded that
some students who have
'classes in McLoughlin
have been entering the
building through second
story windows, Jones
replied, “the students
are
having
hallucinations. They
were probably on acid or
something. Sure, like I
said, the bauilding has
dropped a little, but not
much. It was built on
very stable swampland.
