The Clackamas Print
Blizzard of Bucks hits CCC
by Frank Jordan
Staff Writer
The “Blizzard of Bucks,” a
traveling professional game show,
made a stop last Thursday, Oct.
15, in the Skylight Dining Room.
Thè host of the show, Tim
Wise, from Ann Arbor, MI, has
put on the “Blizzard of Bucks”
for the last three months. Wise, a
professional magician by trade,
thought that this would be a great
moneymaker for himself and the
sponsors of the shows at each
individual site, and also a way to
have a lot of fun in the process.
A good crowd showed up in
the Skylight Room to witness the
fun and mayhem of this particu­
larshow. Contestants paid a dollar
each to have the chance to “Come
on down!” and take part in the
fun. Those lucky enough to appear
on stage took part in a number of
games in order to determine a
winner of a particular round. A
total of three rounds were played,
and each round winner came back
later to play in a semifinal and
final round.
Eager to participate, I plunked
down a dollar and was fortunate
enough to become a contestant in
the first round. The four contest­
ants in the first round had to:
First, take three balloons, blow
them up, then pop them by sitting
on them; second, place four bal­
loons, one at a time bet ween their
knees, and deposit them in a basket
some twelve feet away. If a bal­
loon fell out of the basket, the
contestant had to grab the bal­
loon, run back to the starting line
and start over. The third game of
the first round involved bounc­
ing three Nerf balls into a som­
brero while wearing the sombrero
on your head.
Not as easy, believe me, as it
sounds. But I was fortunate enough
to survive the first round and win
$25 and a “Blizzard of B ucks” T-
shirt. Each non-winning contest­
ant in each round also received a
T-shirt just for participating.
The next two rounds involved
four more contestants in each
round, and involved a variety of
zany games. Included were drink­
ing a baby bottle full of milk,
dressing up in polyester and
dancing to disco music, stuffing
large marshmallows in one’s
mouth and saying “grubby bun­
nies” coherently, and moving five
ping-pong balls from one basket
to another with a spoon, while
wearing swim fins.
Jeff Boedigheimer was the
winner of round two, while John
Bramerton survived a close call
by the judges to pull out the vic­
tory in round three.;
The three semifinal contest­
ants had to build a vertical tower
involving 15 miniature alphabet
blocks, with Bramerton and myself
advancing to the final round. In
the final round, each contestant
had to dig a piece of bubble gum
out of a whipped cream pie with
only their mouths, ^pnwrap the
gum, then chew the gum to blow
a bubble. My only problem was
that I don’t know how to blow
bubbles. Bramerton advanced
easily to the grand prize round.
In the grand prize round,
Bramerton had 30 seconds to grab
with his hands as many one-dol-
lar bills as he could, while the
bills were swirling around him in
this big glass wind chamber; There
were 200 one-dollar bills in the
chamber, along with 27 “bonus
bucks,” worth an additional $300
possible. Bramerton did a nice
job in the wind chamber, scoop­
ing up 89 one-dollar bills and $41
worth of “bonus bucks.”
Harold Isackson, ASG En­
tertainment Coordinator, thought
that the turnout was good, but he
was not sure on the amount of
tickets sold for the event. Isackson
also said that another game show
is in the works for Spring Term of
this year.

To the Editor:
Mr. Hibberd has written some
biased editorials in the past, but Oct. 14
takes the cake. It was reminiscent of the
Nazi tactics of the militant homosexu­
als themselves. It was notjust biased; it
was vitriolic. I doubt if any Oregon
educators could be as hateful as Mr.
Hibberd depicts, but if so, the passage
or failure of measure nine will make no
difference in their behavior, just as it
will make no difference in the behavior
or treatment of the homosexuals.
It bothers me to see traditional
Christians castigated as hateful, by
those who have abandoned their val­
ues. They are only concerned with de­
fending their children. Ifmeasurenine
fails and the liberal forces succeed in
introducing project 10 in the schools,
we may see an exodus of children from
the schools that will completely under­
mine taxpayer support.
Mr. Hibberd’s writing seems
technically correct. He could produc­
tively spend his time doing some
needed editing of the paper’s content.
Someone more objective could write
the editorials. At the very least, the
school as publisher should see that
someone more responsible censors his
obscene cartoons.

To the Editor:
After reading the newspaper last
week, many different emotions circled
through my mind. The worst part of “The
Clackamas Print” last week was the article
by Mr. Hibberd.
In the past, Mr. Hibberd has writen
some biased articles, but this is, by far, his
best work. The scenerio he gave was a
totally illogical example, it must have come
from some past, personal experience. The
cartoon in which Mr. Hibberd has stupidly
put into his article was disgusting. Someone
needs to show Mr. Hibberd how to express
his biased, artistic views in a better way.
What it boils down to is that I, and
many others, are disgusted with Mr. Hib­
berd, and frustrated that the paper allows
such B.S. to be written. The next time he
picks up a pencil, I hope the editing will be
at it’s highest point. Even though this is his
opinion, he needs to be a smart journalist!
In the future, I hope that “The Clacka­
mas Print” will get someone more qualified
to do the writing for the paper. Mr. Hibberd
is entitled to his opinion, but this was way
out of line and disgusting.

NO COVER WITH STUDENT ID
IF YOU'RE NOT 21 DON'T BOTHER-ID REQUIRED
To The Editor and fellow students,
If we amend our constitution to
accomodate Measure 9, an amendment
to barhomosexuals of equal civil rights,
none of us are eligible for any civil or
equal rights. A state saying that one par­
ticular group is not eligible for the rights
granted to other groups is the purest
form of discrimination and dehumani­
zation possible.
Remember homosexuality is not a
choice of right or wrong. It is a way of
life, pre-determined at birth, just like
being bom heterosexual. One doesn’t
decide their orientation, just like one
can’t decide if they will be bom a boy or
girl.
Please join the itiany other in­
formed and educated freedom support­
ing Oregonians. Vote no on hate and
discrimination. Vote No on 9.

ASG helps students give blood
by Frank Jordan
Staff Writer. ■
Are you looking for a way to
give something back to your fel­
low human being that may bene­
fit him/her? Today, you just may
have that chance.
Associated Student Govern­
ment and the American Red Cross
urge you to participate in the CCC/
ASG Red Cross Blood Drive for
Fall term 1992, today from 10
a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Community
Center Mall.
ASG Executive Secretary,
Cheron McGuffey, is the coordi­
nator for the blood drive, and she
hopes that everyone that can give
blood will do so.
“Having had to undergo a
blood transfusion before, I know
the importance of having a safe
and adequate blood supply. It
helped me in my time of crisis
and there are thousands more who
need blood every day,” McGuffey
explains. “It is a safe and worth­
while procedure and I recommend
to all those who can give, to please
do so. You will help someone
with your donation.”
Giving blood is a safe and-
easy procedure. The Red Cross
published a list of the “Ten Most
Common Excuses For Not Giv­
ing Blood.” Some of those ex­
cuses include:
1) “I don’t like- needles.”
Almost everyone is a little weary
of giving blood the first time.
Most donors will say that you
only feel a slight pinch when the
needle is first inserted.
2) “I don’t want to get AIDS.”
Clean, sterile, disposable needles
are used for each donor. It is
impossible to get AIDS or any
other disease by donating blood.
3) “I already gave this year.”
You can donate blood every 56
days.
4) “I don’t have any to spare.”
The average adult has approxi­
mately 10 to 12 pints of blood in
their body. Doctors say that healthy
people may give regularly.
5) “I’m too busy.” The entire
donation process takes about one
hour. If you stop to think that

your donation may help a sick
child, an elderly person, or an
accident victim, you may decide
that you aren’t too busy after all.
6) “My donation won’t make
that much of a difference.” It
certainly will! In the Pacific
Northwest Region, 540 pints of
blood are needed by regional
hospitals everyday! This blood
comes only from donors; blood
cannot be manufactured.
The Red Cross will tell you
that all types of blood are needed,
but that O-type blood is often in
short supply, because O-blood is
the “universal” blood type. There
is always an ongoing need for
blood, the need is not seasonal.
ASG expects a record-set­
ting turnout to participate in this
term’s blood drive. If anyone is
interested in donating, just walk
up to the table set up in the
Community Center and sign up,
or contact Student Activities or
any ASG officer and they will be
glad to show you the way to help
give the “gift of life.”
