Cougars defeat Cardinals A vote for Houk is a vote for leadership Nancy Snider energetic, effective on BMCC Board To the Editor: We heartily support the election of Nancy Snider to serve on the Blue Mountain Community College Board of Directors. Mrs. Snider has served on the BMCC board energetically and effectively. Her past record of service is deserving of re- election to the BMCC board. She brings to the board a strong background of long-time residency in the college district and a business perspective from her professional employment as an independent insurance agent. Also, she has detailed knowledge of the college operation through having previously been employed as the BMCC adult community education coordinator for Morrow County. We encourage all voters in Morrow and Umatilla counties to vote for Nancy Snider for the Blue Mountain Community College Board of Directors.

The vote has been taken, the verdict pronounced and the tribunal dissolved. The president of the United States of America has been found not guilty. It is noteworthy that throughout this tumult, only one small ripple has been caused in the common law. It can be observed that the .leader of the fourth most powerful group in the land, presiding over a forum of the second most powerful group in the land, who, over the mild protests of the third most powerful group in the land, rendered a judgement on the most powerful person in the land. Because of that power and because of the importance of that most powerful person in the land, this fraternity of powerful groups has given to that most powerful person in the land, exclusive permission to be grossly immoral, to lie, to petjure and to obstruct justice.
