College men’s track team,
although small in size, has
been turning out some big in
dividual finishes in the meets.
Coach Alan Knoop said,
“Individual-wise we’re doing
really good but team placing is
not all that well,” due to the
small team size of approx-
imately 12 athletes.
Eight members of the
Cougar track team have
already qualified for the
Region IV conference cham
pionships to be held in
Roseburg May 10-11. Top
finishers of that meet will ad-
vance to the Northwest
Athletic Association of Com
munity Colleges (NWAACC)
Championship meet in
Spokane, Wash, on May
17-18. The NWAACC Cham
pionship meet features the top
runners from community col
leges in Oregon and
Washington.
One Cougar athlete looking
forward to the upcoming
championship meets is
freshman Chris Orblum.
Orblum competes in the 100
meters, long jump and triple
jump events.
“The long jump has been
going real good,’.’ Orblum
said. His best jump so far this

away from the College record.
“I’m looking for 24 feet (long
jump) at the conference
meet,” Orblum said, adding,
“I think I can win the long
jump at the conference meet
and hopefully I can break the
school record.”
Orblum has also recorded a
time of 10.9 seconds in the
100-meter dash this season. “I
think I can be a surprise in the
100 meters,” Orblum said of
the upcoming meets. In the tri
ple jump he has a best distance
of 45-7.
As a team, Orblum explain- •
ed, “What we have is very
good. Everyone we have
places first or second in the
meets.” The small turnout for
track this year has kept the
Cougars form placing well as a
team, however.

That’s Army math. It means that after 2 years of
college (60 semester hours or equivalent) and a 2-year
enlistment, you could have up to $21,000 to continue
your education. Courtesy of the New GI Bill + New
Army College Fund. (Effective July 1,1985).
That other 2 means you can get two years of
ROTC credit by enrolling in ROTC at the third year
level (with the approval of the college’s Professor of
Military Science) when you reenter college. You’ll earn
$100 a month in ROTC.
Qualify, and you’ll start your enlistment with a
promotion. And just because you’re out of school
doesn’t mean you stop learning. We’ll teach you a skill
that can help you go places later.
And you’ll go places now, because we give soldiers
an opportunity to travel. And a chance to make new
friends.
Not to mention a lot of money for college. Plus the
chance to become an Army officer. Contact your local
Army Recruiter today.
