as Second Class Matter,
Our College Mokes Good Gains
Going Into rcndleton from the west, a person can look
up on the hill across the highway from the state hospital ana
pre construction well In progress. ThU will be th newvh
of Blue Mountain Community College, and It heralds a bright
future for the college which has progressed so fast In such a
,h(0rgtanUed In 19G2 after a vote of the people In Umatilla
and Morrow counties It was designed to fill a need that higher
educational Institutions In the state could not meet The new
college met some terrific handicaps, not the least of which
was Its lack of facilities. Even now. the college Is widely d i
persed over Pendleton with various classes going on In a hair-
doren different location. . . , .
A dedicated board, made up of members from various points
In the counties, and excellent leadership provided by President
Wallace McCrae and members of his staff have resulted In
enlightened policies and have nurtured growth of the
Blue Mountain Is doing a particularly good Job in filling
educational needs not met by other Institutions. This has been
the reason for It growth, and this Is the thing that will
Insure its future. It Is taking some students who feel they
are not equipped to meet the competition In established higher
education institutions but who have mechanical or technical
talents that can and should be developed. It Is offering college
transfer work for those who. perhaps for financial reasons,
are unable to attend the established colleges. It Is furnishing
evening courses throughout the two-county area, supplying
neds felt by adults and youth alike. It Is so versatile in Its.
program, in fact, that it Is even now assisting with a proposal
to help supply the need for a mental health clinic here.
Morrow county residents have been solidly in support or
Blue Mountain College from its inception. They have always
voted strongly for the college budget and gave exceptional
support to the serial levy which Is paying part of the cost
of the construction of the first college building.
Morrow people apparently can see that the college Is making
a real endeavor to meet the needs that It Is In a position to
supply. The board of directors has followed the policy of keeping
all the people of the district informed; the college staff has
been generous in making trips to the county to speak, teach
and bring Information. Thus, even 60 miles away, our people
can feel that they figure in the plans for the college, and that
Blue Mountain is our college.
While making its progress, the college leadership has been
economy-minded to give the district the best value for its rruney.
To date. Blue Mountain has proved to be a good bargain for
taxpayers, and there Is every evidence that this will be true
for the foreseeable future.
Proud of Those Pesky Mustangs!
By its very nature, a mustang should be a pesky critter.
A sports writer of the Oregonlan staff, telling of the Heppner
game with Dayton In the state A-2 basketball touranment, used
the adjective, "pesky." in describing Heppner and their refusal
to give up. , .
"For the Pirates ... the final buzzer was a welcome aifair.
he wrote. t , . ,
Dayton, mind you. had four starters back from last years
state tournament team and came to the 1965 classic with a
record of 22-2. No wonder it took the Mustangs a quarter to get
adjusted. But their peskiness came through and they surged
within one point of catching the Pirates In the late stages of
the game. .
In consolation, the Mustangs once again lived up to the
best traditions of their nickname against Phoenix, which enter
ed the tournament undefeated and with the No. 1 ranking In
the state in the final polL Down 23-10 at the end of the first
quarter Heppner's never-quit kids came back and were running
their opponents wild by end of the game, losing by only three,
81-78, and helping to set a new high score for a single game
in the tournament record book, 159 points, as well as the highest
score for a losing team, 78 points.
The pesky Mustangs had the radio announcer apologizing
in this one. He had declared midway in the game, "This is the
first lop-sided game of the tournament," but said several
times before the end, "Heppner is making me eat my words."
Spirit shown by the kids electrified those in the home town
who listened to the games. Our folks just couldn't be more
proud of their team in defeat Their losses were in reality
victories with the odds against them.
With the showing made against these high-powered squads
in the face of the Mustangs' inexperience in tournament play, it
it might be speculated that with a little more seasoning and
experience Heppner just might have gone all the way. But this
is immaterial. No one could complain of the way they performed
for all of eastern Oregon.
There's another year coming. True we lose four good men,
but six fine ones are back, and some topnotch youngsters are
on their way up from jayvee and frosh ranks.
Those Mustangs just might go rarin' back to the state
tournament next year, just a little more pesky than ever!
How About Giving a Pint of Blood?
In the past two visits of the Red Cross bloodmobile to
Heppner our showing has not been good. Donations of blood
were only about half that of the goal, and a total of only some
90 pints was given, an average of 45 per trip.
We can do better than that!
For those of us who have had no emergencies in our families,
perhaps the need isn't close enough. Others have certainly felt
this need. There are those right in our own area who would
have lost loved ones if it were not for the blood provided
through the Red Cross.
No one knows when an emergency might come to his own
family, and with the bloodmobile due here, It Is a good time
to think on this.
But if it should never come to your family, what better
satisfaction could you have than realizing that your blood
might be the determining factor in keeping some ill or injured
person alive?
It is easy to give a pint of blood, and to a person whose
health is normal there are no ill effects. Any who are not in
condition to give will not be allowed to donate because all are
carefully screened through the staff that comes with the blood
mobile. This area has quite a few generous givers gallon clubbers
and more who never fail to show up when the bloodmobile
arrives. These persons seek no special credit but they are
entitled to special praise for their regard for their fellowmen.
Heppner, even without assistance from the rest of the area,""
has a population of more than 1900 persons. Our average of
riving at the blood bank has been less than 3 of the pop
ulation, and the 3 includes many from surrounding areas.
That isn't a record to make us very proud. It's something
that can be changed Monday. The unit will be at the Elks
Temple between 3 and 6 p. m.

the following:
ThU. you hn was th night of
the broadcast ol the Dayton.
Heppner cam at the state
tournament
Only seven persons showed up
for the hearing, probably some
thing of a new local record In
recent years at lean, and all of
them were there in an official
capacity,
it tot some real dedication
for a basketball fan like Howard
Cleveland, chairman of the
board, to stick to hi post at a
dull hearing. Irvin Kauch and
Andy Van Scholack. also stuck
It out alone with Shirley Loyd
and two from Boawman.
Alone about 'M to nine, wnue
the group fidgeted, awaiting
anyone who might want to come
nd remonstrate. Supt. rotter
made the noble gesture and vol
unteered to remain for the bal
ance of the hour, apparently re
quired bv law.
Howard and Shirley, particu
larly, lost no time In accepting
and skittered out. Thev did get
to hear the last part of the ball
game. I
This was oulte a chance from
some of the budget hearings ot
the past few years! It would be
nice if all voters are as satisfied
with the budget a this lack of
remonstrance would Indicate.
ONE OF the saddest persons In
town Sunday was Pam Mc
Cabe. daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest McCabe. She had made
plans to go to the state basket
ball tournament at Coos Bay.
being a sophomore at Heppner
High. But she blossomed forth
with one of the most spectac
ular cases of measles one could
have, and that kept her at home.
Maybe next year, Pam!
IF THE MUSTANGS do make It
back to the state tournament
next year, there will be six on
the sauad who will have had
tournament experience, and that
sounds mighty good Gene Hel
iker. Jim Doherty, Mac Hoskins.
Jim Jacobs. Tim Driscoll and
Bill Snyder. The team will miss
Carl Bauman's steady reliabil
ity. Stu Dick's zip and dribbling,
certainly Wayne Evans sharp-
shooting and Bruce Spencer's
good work under the boards.
But thev will start next year
with a pretty well loaded team.
That's one of the beauties of
d avinz 10 men all year, as
Coach Cloueh has done. Indica-
tions that most of these six have
not nearly reached their high
school peaks. Doherty has
shown that he has the shooting
touch, but he seemed to need
confidence. He has apparently
found this confidence in the
tournaments and turned in a
fine performace at Coos Bay.
Heliker Is coming along fast His
speed and ballhawking on the
court, along with his shooting
ability will make him a top man
next year. Hoskins, just a sopho
more (like Doherty), has made
great improvement this year,
and his height will be a factor
on next year's team. Jim Jacobs
who Joined the varsity rather
late is a natural strong man
husky enough to lend real de
fensive strength. He showed this
defensive ability in guarding
Mikel of Pilot Rock in the last
game at home in the regular
season. And Jacobs is only a
sophomore! Bill Snyder seems to
have most of the elements of a
natural ball plyaer and prob
ably peaked this year before
some of his teammates. He'll
be a stalwart next year. Tim
Driscoll, one of those all-around
athletes football and track star,
has not developed quite so fast
in basketball, but he has been
strong on the court in late sea
son and turned in a good tourn
ament for Heppner.
Also back will be two more
Mark Brown and David Clark,
Juniors who couldn't play in the
tournament because the squad
is limited to 10 men. But they,
too, will be seasoned veterans
next year. Some of the upcom
ing boys from the jayvees and
freshmen ranks will furnish
strong competition for places on
the traveling squad.
We understand Madras is
dropping back to A-2 from A-l
next year, and that could make
it tougher for all Greater Ore
gon teams. But if our kids mind
their P's and Q's and keep de
veloping, they could come up
with a team that would really
make them sit up and take no
tice next year.
