Comer
by Christopher Curran
Sports Editor
Let’s call it a year
Let me start off by saying, this
has been one of the most en
joyable school years that I’ve ever
had.
What now.you’reisaying. I’m
going to get mad at something
and rat on it throughout the
whole article.
Well you are wrong.
This week, being our last, I’m
going to take a look at the year
in review of the sports section.
There is probably nowhere
else you could find a sports
editor curled up sleeping on the
couch in his office when as his 2
p.m. interview walked in with
three staff members. If you
looked in another place you
would have trouble finding the
sports editor getting up at 6
a.m., going to work, leaving
work, and arriving at paste-up
less than 15 minutes before it
started at 3 p.m. I produced five
pages of sports that week.
Over the year I’ve done my
best work under the higher
amounts of pressure. Possibly
the toughest week I had was in
winter term when we were
working on the March 4 issue.
The whole paper was in massive
chaos.
During that week, the men’s
basketball team won the nor
thwest regional championship,
the wrestling team won second
at the nationals, Norm Bemey
was named junior college
wrestling coach of the year, two
wrestlers turned in first place
performances, the women’s
basketball team had completed

ball teams were getting set for
their season, Cougar basketball
star Pete Newlin was at the peak
of the season, I was trying to get
the scoreboard intact, and Cur
ran’s Comer was examining the
word “we.” On top of that I
had a full week at work.
This issue was a far cry from
the first issue when I had a cross
country story and an infor-
“Fall term was a new
and at times a frustrating
experience. ”
“Over the year I’ve done
my best work under the
higher amounts of
pressure.”
mative article about in
tramurals.
Fall term was a new and at
times a frustrating experience.
During that time I produced
nine pages of sports in eight
publications. During that term I
did receive help from a work
study student, a first year repor
ting student, and I even publish
ed a story from a member of the
men’s basketball team.
In that term stories that were
printed in the sports section in
cluded the cross country team’s
season, the volleyball team’s
season, the Clackamas bowling
team, two shots at a weekly col
umn (Over the Underground),
intramurals, and even a couple
of personality profiles.
During winter term I got more
help, but I was still writing almost
half of the sports section. Some
of that help during winter term
came from former Photo Editor
Lyn Marie Thompson and a girl
from the Reporting II class who
is still writing sports for the sec
tion Sherri Michaels.
In that term we expanded from
the nine pages of fall to 14 pages
in seven papers. In the term we
expanded in other ways also. I
added a scoreboard of not only
games, but standings as well. The
whole paper was doing better
winter term. We produced the
first 12 and 16 page papers in
years for Qackamas.
All of that work during winter
took its toll on me. I started to
feel the mid-year burnout (a little
late). As this was happening, I
came back from a not so relaxing
spring vacation ready to take on
the largest term of the year: spr
ing. We were planning to publish
10 issues that term.
As I walked around the first
day of the spring term publica
tions class wondering how I was
going to make it through another
10 issues, an elderly (I joke with
him on his mid 30’s age com
pared to my 19 years of existence)

me if it would be alright if he did
some sports writing. What could
I have said, but “write as many
stories as you want.” And now
from seeing his material I realize
that the only decision I could
make was a good one (Steven
Zolkowski will be happy to see
this).
After that I received the name
of another person who was an ex
perienced writer and who had a
story printed in The Oregonian.
Shortly thereafter, Jerry Ulmer
became the sports section’s se
cond columnist.
I’ve tried to make sure
everything has been covered this
year, and at times we didn’t, but I
think for the most part, we have
done a better job than I thought
was capable of being done in the
first place. In total there have
been about 20 different sports
writers, and I personally want to
thank them for their contribu
tions. Other specific thanks I
must give are to:
1. and 2. Both photo editors,
Lyn Marie Thompson and Beth
Coffey for putting up with the
constant question, “Do you have
those sports photos yet?”
3. Our advisor, Linda Vogt
who, when I was first name
Sports Editor, helped me fin
the athletic offices.
4. Our typesetter Crystal Pen
ner for answering my questions
“Is this possible?” and “Cai
that be done?”
5. The rest of the staff fo
putting up with a gloatin
sports editor in times when w
had a 12 page paper, and thei
were six pages of sports and tb
many eight page papers when
offered to do four or five pages
6. A special thanks to thos
people who helped me at time
in which I have been ready |
just walk away from the pap;
and not look back.
The Print will be differen
next year. Most of the staff wi
be gone. There are a few of i
that will still be here. I will t
back in a dual role as bot
Design Editor and Sports Editc
and I’ll bring Curran’s Corns
with me.
As a closing comment I don
want to get too personal, but
would just like to say it’s bee
real, it’s been fun, and contras
to the joke, it has been real fui
It seems like I was always doing some kind of writing this yet
