• • • College eyes name change Mt. Hood Community College Board of Education adopted a resolution to change the name of the college district from East Side Area Education District to East Side Community College District in its semi-monthly meeting last Thursday. The name change is a result of the state legisla tu re 's recommendation for the words “ community college” to ap pear in the official district title of each of Oregon’s two-year institutions. Necessary legal proceedings w ill be undertaken shortly to change the district title to Mt. Hood Com m unity College D istrict—the informal name the college has gone by for some time. Welter C.

Casteel Company, for $10,985, for an extension of the campus irrigation system. Northwest Craftsmen’s bid of $6,693 was accepted for furnishing the electronics laboratories, and the Lemon’s M illwork, Inc. bid of $10,368 was accepted for furnishing the m ortuary science laboratories. The board also heard a planning report on the proposed art village (classroom) com plex to be built east of the college’s m ain spine. The project w ill be put out to bid around the first of the year. gets leave Now that the voters have turned down the building bond levy the Sandy Grade School Board must again seek a way to meet the needs of an in creasin g student body enrollment. By their vote Tuesday the voters told the district that they do not want to spend money on enlarging the school buildings. This leaves the district, we feel, only two choices: (1) the 12-month school or (2) double shifting of the lower grades. Which ever way the board decides to go, we know that it will only be a stop-gap program and that they will have to come back with another building bond levy in future years. We hope that by that time the voters of the district will have realized how overcrow ded our schools have become and how this has hurt the quality of education in the district. players are under the direction of a new coach this year, Forrest Allen. If winning is the most important thing, then we look for the Pioneers to be winners in the next few years as these young players mature as a football team. Yet in your eyes, we see the team as winners already for the way they have never given up in a game no m atter what the score is. Show your support this Friday night at the game. A S t r a n g e R e lu c ta n c e Some fa r distan t day when historians make their analysis of the Nixon administration, we’re sure they’ll be puzzled over the President’s Viet-Nam policy. Pres. Nixon won election because the American people believed him when he said he would get us out of Viet-Nam. It’s that simple. Yet here we are 34 months into his administration and the President still is using his power to scuttle Congressional efforts to get us out. Admittedly, there may be reasons why he cannot accept a fixed with drawal date. Yet there are far more compelling reasons why he should. The American people long since have turned against the war. It is hurting us, perhaps irretrievably, on the economic front. Our allies wish only that we would get out. Yet the President still displays a strange reluctance to pull stakes from that most unhappy venture. At the same time, and we’ve said it before, we’re utterly unsympathetic with efforts of some Democrats to hang the war onto Pres. Nixon. It’s almost totally a creation of John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson and all these polemics will never make it anything else. T h e F r e e w a y T r a f f ic P r o b le m Anyone who drives the Banfield freeway to and from Portland during rush hours knows it’s hopelessly overcrowded. Hence, word from the State High way Dept. that plans are under way to widen Banfield from 92nd east to 181st is welcome news. Unfortunately, however, the work isn’t due for four or five years and by that time, commuters may well be unundated by the traffic. And it’s also unfortunate that the Mt. Hood freeway, long in the plan ning stage, still seems way off in the far distant future. The Mt. Hood freeway obviously is the only long- range answ er to the Banfield problem ; only by providing an alternate route can Banfield be made tolerable. The Banfield problem is com pounded by the fact that no widening is planned from the Hollywood district east to 92nd. The Highway D epartm ent says it isn’t economically feasible to widen the road in this area and a double-deck also is ruled out for the same reason. Whatever is done to Banfield can only be a temporary palliative. The Mount Hood freeway is the only real solution . We hope our legislators can exert enough pressure in the next legislature to speed up the time-table. Sandy juvenile problems (Continued from Page 1) J l \ F.NILE CASE W ORKER John Schleining. on the lelt, 1» talking over some of the problems Sandy area youngsters have with Ered Proett, vice principal of Sandy High School Schleining and Mr». E. J. Greger are the two juvenile workers assigned to the Sandy-lloodland area. (Post Photo) was involved in any serious criminal activity. Both juvenile workers feel that a lot of the juvenile problems in the Sandy- lloodland area could be helped through a good recreational program for both boys and girls “ But the most important helper in juvenile problems is for parents to be concerned with their youngsters and to help solve the youngster's problems before they are refe rre d to the juvenile department, according to both Mrs Greger and Schleining. Police news (Continued from Page 1) juveniles were a boy 15 and three girls ages 13,13, and 14 years old. Mel le m b reported to the police that his car was damaged on the evening of Oct. 17. An estimated damage of $4<M) was done Hie car was parked on Hood St across from his home Those who Were responsible for the damage failed to stop after the accident regulating them might help. They started functioning as simply sellers of homes and farms, and, hearing of a likely piece of property far a housing development through th e ir business, are in on the ground floor, so to speak, to become speculators on the side and despoil the land. In my own case, a cousin named Boyer has done just this and is building a condominium at the beach. This obsession to be millionaires does not apply to all real estate dealers, however. I merely suggest they be regulated, as there seems to develop a “ conflict of interest” here which prevents them from being "a service to the people” and they become “ exploiters of people” instead. Mrs. Casper and I seem, then, to have the same goal - to save the mountain and forest corridor (A.J. Dwyer was sure ahead of his times). There are inherant dangers in in corporation, however, and while 1 hate to be a pessimist, I fear the tentacles of the speculative octopus has already reached into our mountain like a cancer, never to be cut out. Bowmans is a good example of this. Recently I showed someone a copy of a lovely book called “ Europe and the Cathedrals” with illuminated pictures of the medieval art and culture that Kenneth C lark so w ell T j .

LETTERS ToThe EDITOR To the Editor: Like our Founding Fathers I have always gohe on the p rin c ip le “ the least gover nment is the best government” for the freedom of the people! Unfortunately what people w ill not regulate for them selves, the government w ill take over and do far them; and thus in this complex society, of technological advances, and of children whose parents are off making the buck “ to keep up their standard of living,” we aré seeing zoning and more and more government regulation necessary! Thus when I read about ‘Hoodland Town” , I felt this was just another front to do Wfat the land speculators were already doing, ie; ru inin g "o u r” mountain! The same way can be used to get a nation into war, as Professor Tansills’ “ Back Door to War” shows us. Seeing a State legislator try to build a condominium on an estuary, F.F . Montgomery built “ The Inn of the Seventh Mtn.” , etc does not let me tend to trust gov'ts’ in control of land too much. Our county dump ten years or more back was a good exam ple. A call from Mrs. Casper explained th a t this in corporation under “ Hoodland Town’ ’ along the lines of California’s “ Happy Valley” , was to protect the mountain from being swallowed by land! speculators, as had happened in California! (In c id e n ta lly many con dom inium s and apartm ent complexes are partly idle in and around L A. and are of fering a months free rent if you sign a years lease!) Mrs Casper assured me the m ayoralties of Rhododendron et al would be more or less nominal and unsalaried, to enforce the incorporation and charter only; to see that or derly development ensued and condominiums with their en suing crowding, trash, septic tank and sewage problems, built on speculation money (while the speculator moves on to greener pastures and cares not a whet for the problems he created) would be prevented. By its very nature a moun tain is not the place far housing developments. Geologically mountains are our watersheds meant for run-off of pure water, and it stands to reason sewage from a crowded condominium w ill do the same thing By the way they were formed, the good God knew exactly how to give us pure water! Another suggestion a little more law on real estate dealers The above dinners complete with soup, salad & dessert. ' . . . The author has sought to write for the intelligent layman, the man in the street, who may not be interested in the academic study of ethics but who feels that how he lives with himself, his neighbor and his God is of the utmost importance.'

The group, not yet two years old, has given assistance to club, class and athletic activities, and increased requests of help are being made daily. 1 learned at a recent Coast- Valley League meeting of athletic coaches that of all the schools in the league (14), Sandy did the best job of hosting visiting athletic teams. The teams are greeted and directed to th e ir dressing rooms and supplied with any “ extras” needed by the Dads Club. It is this type of work that has lended a sense of quality to Sandy High School.
