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.

f
In otner action, the board
accepted the bid of the Ben W.
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.

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.

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.

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.

three girls ages 13,13, and 14
years old.
Mel le m b reported to the

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

while 1 hate to be a pessimist, I
fear the tentacles of the

already reached into our

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

last home football game this year for

citizens as well as the student body
will turnout to support the team
Friday when it meets Canby.
Even though Sandy’s record is only
1-4-1, we feel that the team has done a
good job when you consider that the

TO THE EDITOR:
A much earned thanks is in
order for a job well done by the
Sandy High Dads Coub. 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
