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.

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.
With the worst out of the
way, it’s easier to think in terms
of what could make the day

one of the best6ver. 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

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. John Borland
