Photo by Dawn Kuehl Robinson leaves a very stable, solid baseball program at Oregon City to inherit the Clackamas program which is less than stable, and certainly less than solid. “I’m excited about this. We’ll be competitive this season and within 2 years we will be a power house,” said Robinson. “I was impressed with some of the people that are walking on.

The main reason, according to Athletic Director Carol Petersen, is lackof funds. “It’s very expensive to sup port a football program, and we just don’t have the money,” Says Petersen. ’ Football was dropped from the athletic program in 1977 due to deficiency of funds. Since then, other sports with comparably lower financial need, such as soccer and tennis, have also been dropped. Petersen added that another reason Clackamas doesn’t have a team is because of a lack of com petition. “There are no other commu nity colleges in Oregon that have football, teams,” said Petersen,, “There are only four other schools ,in the Northwest that havefoot- ball teams, and they are finding it hard to maintain their teams/’ The only four schools to have 0 football teams in the Northwest are Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Yakima Valley and Spokane. One of the problems of not having a football team is that many stu dents who played football in high school, and plan to play at a uni versity, don’t have the opportu nity to play wh ile attending Clacka mas. First-year ’ student Tom Owens, who hopes to play foot- ballat Portland State in thefuture stated, “It would be nice if they had a team here So students plan ning to play at a university can have the opportunity to continue playing right out of high school.” As for the possibility of Clacka mas fielding a team in the future, Petersen states, “I don’t think it will happen. No one even* talks about it anymore.” The fall of 1977 was the last year Clackamas had a football team. At that time there were twoother community colleges in Oregon that had teams, Mt; Hood and Treas- ureValley.
