Another class into the world
Between the solemn
procession to Pomp and
Circumstance" and bub­
bles provided courtesy of
the graduates, the Class
of 1978 was given a key
to the future last Thur­
sday night.
The
program
was
moved inside to the high
school gymnasium after
Oregon s w ell-know n
rain put a damper on
plans to hold com­
mencement outside at
Pop Rannow Stadium.

Berry picking waiver sought
Gov.
Bob
S traub’s
executive assistant is pur­
suing an exemption to allow
10-and 11-year old children to
pick berries in Oregon this
summer.
The U.S. Department of
Labor reported Friday that it
has rejected applications
from nearly 200 Oregon and
Washington, berry growers
for a waiver from the Fair
Labor Standards Act
Under the newly amended
federal law. persons 12 and
over can help hand-harvest
crops. The 10-and 11-year-
olds could be hired only if a

Junk food ban opposed

children spending their lunch
money on “ junk food,” but
said a state or federal ban on
such food in Oregon schools
would be a mistake.
“ I believe decisions con­
cerning what kinds of food
will be available in schools
should be a local m atter,”
Duncan told the State Board
of Education in a meeting in
Salem last week Sed Stuart,
board chairman, agreed.
“ It may be advisable for us
to suggest that each district
take a good look at the kinds
of foods that are available to
students, and, if necessary,
m ake
a p p r o p r ia te
m odifications to d istrict
policies,” Stuart said.
“To assist districts as they
grapple with this issue, I am
appointing a study group to
investigate programs in
Oregon schools and in other
states, and develop model
policies
districts
may
adopt.”
