"I have one open date for 1978," Barratt said. "Youngsteni who are now first graders in school will be playing on sched ules already made. Basketball games are sched uled three years In advance. The amiable athletic director said that -Oregon State has had a minimum of racial problems. unlike some other universities." We trv to treat white and black athletes exactly alike," he said. An Innovation that will be Marled soon will be an Oregon State boys' camp for youngsters 10 to 15 In the summer time Sumo 2H0 boys will participate, he said. Advance ticket sales for en OSU football season are normal ly around $100,000 by September . This year, 5115,000 had been received after the first 30 days and the preseason sale will probably be double a normal year, Barratt said. In answer to a question, he said that OSU will not put on the "Astro turf" on Its football field, since it doesn't get the wear and tear of some fields. It is being used in Seattle but 77 high school games were play ed on this field, he said. The synthetic turf Is very expensive and is applied In strips, being zipicd together. However, new turf has been applied to the Oregon State field, being grown elsewhere and brought In strips. It takes root immediately. Tarp Purchased A $17,000 tarpaulin has been bought to cover the field at Parker stadium. Some USC sup porters moaned about the wet field after the Trojans lost to the Beavers there last season Barratt said that the tarp will be ot benefit only one day Fridays because good field drainage will take care of any rains coming by Thursday of the week of a game.

He willingly postpon ed his talk in order that mem bers might have the opportu nity of hearing Barratt. Parents, Students Give Ideas on Policies (Ed. Note: This continue a scries of article on opinions of parents and student on school policies at Heppner High as compiled from a re. cent questionnaire presented to them). QuMtion 8 Becau th var ious school activities conflict to torn extent we htrv schedul ed soms practices at night Do you favor this procedure? Parents' answers: Yes 24. no 8, Students' answers: Yes 17, no 1. Parents' comments: "Yes, If practice are not late and do not conflict with home work." "Occasionally, Just so It Isn't night after night." "In these schedules, trv and remember the country kids who live out a long way." "No night practice." "When you live 27 miles out It is a problem." "I do not favor any practice on week-ends. Definitely not on Sunday or Sunday night." "No, there Is a trend to over emphasize extracurricular ac tiviiies." No, high school kids can t co from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m." I believe two basketball teams are sufficient." "No, but don't know what else can be done. (Build another pym)." Students' comments: "When not carried to extreme. 10:30 should be the limit for such extra-curricular activities." "If the kids are willing to sive their time, they should let them." Question 10 Do you favor a pop machine for students? Parents: Yes 33. no 11. Stu dents: Yes 20. no 0. Parents' Comments: "This is a good excuse to skip a hot lunch." "No, there are some students who don't have the money to spend in these machines. And where the students go to town and have the money, let them buy their pop and candy there." "No, I believe students are eating and drinking these in stead of eating a good lunch." "No, water is a bettor bever age and our supply Is of ex cellent quulity." "Yes, not completely In agree, ment with tins, but realize children must beKln to accept responsibilities." Students' comments: "I get thirsty. (Pop tastes bet ter than water)." "Yes, if they don't throw the bottles and Junk around the student lounge and the halls." "Yes, as long as any messes are cleaned up." "Yes, often times your throat Is dry after classes and who wants a drink of water? As long as the students clean up the lounge wnen they spill the pop 1 feel it Is O. K." Question 11 Do you favor a candy machine for student? Parents: Yes 32. no 11. Stu dents: Yes 20, no 0. Parents' comments: "An apple machine would be nice, too." "It is nice that the students have this freedom." "No, they should learn to eat lunch provided. High calorie snacks are not needed by most." Students' comments: "As long as candy is only eaten at breaks and at lunch and not during classes." I get hungry, too. (Lunch Isn't enough)." 'As long as the kids respect it. and if not. I think it should be taken away for awhile any way. "Both the pop and candy ma chines provide students with op portunities to obtain nourish ment during the hours before and after lunch. It is also a good social center for students meeting other than lunch hours, which are too short." Question 12 A number of students smoke, some with the knowledge of their parents, oth ers without (A person can le gally smoke when he becomes 18 years oi age). Do you favor very strict no smoking policy on the school grounds with the penalty of suspension for any student who violates this policy? Parents: Yes 34', no dents: Yes 11, no 8. Parents' comments: "Yes, I would like to see this strongly enforced." "No, If parents are observing their children they should know that they are smoking. This should not have to be up to the school to inform unless they are leaving class to do it. I don't feel that suspension from school la the answer. I feel that there should be suitable punishment. There is a lot of work that could be done on their own time that would be more effective." "Yes. smoking should be han dled the same as regulations prohibiting the use of alcohol." "No. but I do think parents should b? notified." "No, this is really driving smoking underground." "A strict policy Is not out of line. The school officials should be exiMfted to enfor the no smoking policy on the school grounds, and parents should back them up." "This policy should be enforc ed on all the school grounds. There Is nothing more disgust ing than to see students smok ing at the school door." Students' comments: "Yes, but NO to the suspen sion." "No. if you are legally old enough to smoke and be draft ed they should be allowed to smoke." No, what good would pension do?? It is up a sus to the parents and children." Question 13 Should the par ents be notified If their son or daughter Is observed smoking? 1'urents: Yes 3!, no 3. Stu dents: Yes 11, no 4. Parents' comments: "Only If on school grounds." "No, I can smell, too." "A parent can do nothing without knowledge. I prefer to be told rather than wait so long to find out." "Yes. but it should be only the school grounds." "If they know their child as a parent should they would know," Students' comments: "No, if they smoke the par ents should know about it in the first place and there should be a place for it and not he ashamed of their bad habit. "Makes no difference." "Yes, kids can't live their lives hiding everything from someone. They have to learn to admit what they do. If they are hiding something, they must ba ashamed of it." "Yes, if you feel that the par ents might not know, but would want to know, tell them." iTo be continued) Gazette-Times want ads pay.
