Highway 212 by-pass not worthy of ceremony So what was the purpose of the by pass funding ceremony? What needed to be said was said in less than five minutes. Fred Miller, director of the Oregon Depart ment of Transportation said that blds on construction of the highway 212 by-pass would open June 24, and construction about a month later. There was no reason for the drawn- out, half-hour ceremony that took place at the College last Thursday. After the “important” statement about the funding had been made, and Senator Mark Hatfield’s administrative assistant Jerry Frank had accepted the key to Oregon City, and the gold-spaded shovel, no more needed to be said. The rest of the time was spent with politicians patting each other on the back. Ralph Groener Clackamas County Board of Commissioners Chair and College Board Member, told a very inspiring story about Hatfield being the best senator in the country. But why? From the audience, which was filled with more politicans, with few exceptions, came the question, “Where are the T.V. cameras?” It was probably lucky in that Hatfield and Gov. Vic Atiyeh didn’t show up, as was planned. The answer to that question they’re covering news events. Readers write Spring allows time to hope To the Editor: Dear fellow students, especially you struggling idealists, returning women, Caucasian males between the age of 30 and 45 years and all the CCC nursing program hopefuls, Muffled almost audible sounds of yippee were heard from where I sat on the picnic table outside Randall the other day. I assumed they were sounds of celebration. The long dark winter is finally behind us. Spring promises neither sun shine or a bed of roses however, it still provides us with a time of increased freedom to hope, dream and plan. Do you ever get the urge to just start walking toward Vic toria B.C., Barrow, Alaska, or get lost in the Olympics near Hart Lake? If you’re like me, tied down to a schedule, the urges come and go and you end up taking one day at a time. Sincerely, On bad days action is usually replaced by reaction. It’s hard not to re-act when the P.G.E. bill is larger than your house payment five months out of the year. With each new day I say, what’s the worst thing that could possibly hap pen today? The California bound refugees could blow-up Bonneville Dam wiping out all Adult Family Service Centers in the area. Or, Luxury Theaters could stop their dollar fifty coupons for Thursday nights. U.S. Secretary of In terior James Watt could become Governor of Oregon and the committee in charge of establishing entrance re- quirements for the CCC nurs ing program could add other classes to the growing list. Like Government Program Funding I and II and how to grow huge carrots with sticks and strings already attached...Finally, blow of all blows, my wife makes rally.

For exam ple, the gal driving the Honda I rear-ended in the parking lot last week decides not to sue. In fact, a hint of a smile is evidenced as she limps past me in the student center. The dy ing azalias I sprinkled with weed and feed miraculously come back to life, and the Social Security Administration is voted out of existance and immediately refunds a check for twenty-two years payments with interest. A letter from each of my children outlining in detail what a great father I’ve been for twenty years would help make any day a little brighter. As for the CCC cam pus it needs a few more, smiles and a couple of electric mini cart buses to haul us war-torn,' world-worn fighters across campus. Labor (drivers) pool could come from the game room gang and every student registered at GCC’s concrete campus would be eligible to ride free of charge. After the long dark winter we’ve just ex perienced, we deserve a free r I I ride on something. Lila Morris AV Dept. Keep Smilin, Ken Simnitt (Margie’s good looking hus- band) Apologize to GEDs Grievance not news To the Editor: To the Editor: I read in last week’s Print an article written by Mr. Shumaker, the drafting instruc tor, about the A.S.E. and G.E.D. students. I am not denying anything in that article, but I will say he has no right to condemn all of us by stereotyping us with a few bad apples. I am not asking for a retraction of Mr. Shumaker’s letter, but I am asking that he write a new letter apologizing to those for whom his letter does not apply. The article titled “Union Drops Grievance” has no place in your newspaper. Any employee’s personal or employed life is gossip column material, which is total-, ly tasteless. Did you stop to consider die feelings of the person in volved? I hope you will print an Sincerely, apology, and that you will be more professional in the future.
