Holy takedown, how many are there?
Wrestling team gets ready for the season
The Rec Center...
Enough said already
Well, it is great that some
one stepped in and made a pro
ductive decision in respect to the
Recreation Center. As was writ
ten a couple of weeks ago,’’...the
idea was uninspired and desper
ate.”
The Rec Center has now
switched*tracks and looks like it
will be at home in Randall 101. It
is the perfect location, with plenty
of windows, high ceilings, and
above all space.
Give credit to Dian Con
nett for the suggestion. She has
listened to a few vocal students
and the outcry of this publica
tion, and has actually taken this
into consideration. At least we
as students still have a direct
voice in the administration.
I consider Randall to be a
much better home for the Rec
reation Center. Why? Well, be
lieve it or not, “recreation” is
related to athletics, and billiards
and ping pong are considered
sports, are they not? Plus', it will
be an easily accessible area for
athletes to kick back and relax
after a hard workout. They de
serve that much, don’t they?
What about the drawbacks?
Well, after some field research,
the Athletic department has not
increased space over the years,
but has been stagnantly the same
since Randall was built. The ath
letic department is now losing
space for instruction, for sport
ing events, and for other miscel
laneous events.
The loss of 101 for instruc
tion is not that terrible. I have
been in that classroom for nu
merous subjects, and is it ever
awful. It is cold, big, and noisy
(due to the music department
upstairs and the gym next door).
The real loss is for those miscel
laneous events. When teams
come to compete at Clackamas,
they must be assigned a room
for halftime. Without that room,
where are they going to go?
Downstairs to the wornen’s locker
room? Could you imagine
coaches going into 101 trying to
talk to their team, while they’re
playing “Bad Dudes?” Actually,
that’s not a bad idea....
Let’s just say that there will
be drawbacks wherever the Rec
Center, is placed, and someone
will be unhappy. It is just a mat
ter of how any area is to be; com
pensated for the inconvenience
of lost space. In any case, re
member that no final decision
has been made, yet.
Personally speaking, Ran
dall would be extremely conven
ient and a great location for the
Recreation Center. Hopefully,
everyone will be content with
whatever decision is mad?.

Too bad he has such an ego and

If you ever need an army, just
call Coach Jim Jackson and his
wrestling team.
Coach Jackson will have
approximately 42 wrestlers this
year, with just under ten tetum-
ing.
“We have the best talent
overall in a while, but it is a little
too early to tell,” commented
Jackson.
Those returning include David
Grieve (Eagle Point), who red-
shirted last year, and is wrestling
at the 118 weight class for his first
year. Matt Lindland (Gladstone)
is a another returning wrestler who
was one of two that competed in
the NJCAA National Tournament,
which took place in Bismarck, ND.
Also returning is Dave Moore
(West Linn), wrestling at 167 pds,
and Steve Teeney, who unfortu
nately missed the NJCAA tour
nament last year due to injured
ribs. Other returnees are David
Cloud (David Douglas),Kelly
Reichner (Gladstone), and Jason
Baurer.
Then there are the freshmen,
which makes up the majority of
the multitude.
“We do have a lot of them
[freshmen],” summed up Jackson.
The long list of freshmen starts
with John Mehas (Reynolds),
Travis Whitaker (Molalla), Chris
Lowrey (Jefferson), Eric Adams
(Grant), Mark Flores (Woodbum),
Brian Lemos (N. Marion), Paul
Roane (Estacada), Brian Bartosch
(Hudson’s), and Travis Ziegler.
The list continues on. All the
way from Juneau, Alaska comes
Damon Schultz, and the rest of
the freshmen are Tony Brown
(Grant), Corey Nevins (Hudson’s
Bay), Noe Meza (Central), Dean
Roth (Woodbum), Shane Mel
ton (Dayton), Travis Woods
(Tigard), David Oliveros (Cen
tral), Kurtis Bums (Molalla), Chad
Westover (Centennial), Greg
Benner (Barlow), Tim Stewart
(Newberg), Dominic Moore (West
Linn), Ryan Young (Centennial),
Dan Trussell (Banks), Donald
Robertson (Benson), Bruce Buel
(Reynolds). John Meier (Tigard),
Scott Trayhom (Reynolds), Aaron
Aguirre (Aloha), Bob Brewer
(David Douglas), Adam Reynolds
(Glencoe), Syrell McCray (Grant),
Carlton Slater (Jefferson), and
Chris Monahan (Estacada) rounds
out the-list.
Surprisingly enough, there is
very little community college
competition for Jackson’s boys in
the Northwest, which means they
have to go all the way to Idaho for
their stiffest competition, North
Idaho College. The team will meet
North Idaho six times throughout
the schedule.
The first competition for the
wrestling team will be at the Nov.
3 Takedown Tournament here at
Clackamas.
