I he impression somehow has be­
come prevalent that .Mt. Hood Com­
munity College plans an immediate
program of full-scale athletics.
This just plain isn’t so.
Some remarks by board members,
taken out of context, are being widely
interpreted as forecasting a big sports
program.
Actually, the college intends noth­
ing but the normal and required physi­
cal education courses. Plans for a
track, for instance, mean only a P.E.
track . . . not a competitive track.
College President Dr. Earl Klap-
stein quite properly has said that
physical education is absolutely essen­
tial to student needs. But he empha­
sized that this does not mean com-
petitive sports . . . football, for in­
stance.
Once the college is opened, it ulti­
mately may field a basketball team and
perhaps a few individual entrants in
track. But no community college in
Oregon—excepting Treasure Valley in
Ontario—has a sports program and,
once again, nothing of the sort is
planned here.
Rep. Ross .Morgan has said that the
state legislature wil) not provide
funds for competitive athletics, in
fact has "stoutly resisted" such ef­
forts.
He will find no argument from
those in charge of .Mt. Hood. Attempts
to read anything else into their re­
cent discussions of physical educa­
tion are just plain inaccurate.
