Teachers' Dream Has
Changed Class Order
Orientation sessions for people
who plan to begin classes at
Portland Community College
this winter are scheduled for
7 p.m., November 19. 20, 26, and
27, in the Cedar Room at the
Sylvania center, 1200 S.W. 49th
Avenue. Portland A make-up
session has been set for 10 a.m.
on Saturday. December 1, in the
same location, for anyone who
could not attend one of the
others
“ The object of these sessions.”
says PCC counselor Robert
Garrison, “ is to acquaint new
students with registration pro­
cedures and to provide them
with an opportunity to take
English and math placement
tests if required.”
The whole process should take
no longer than two hours G arri­
son promised, with orientation
session itself requiring only
about a half hour. Attendance at
one of these sessions w ill make
registration day less confusing
for the new student, he added
Any student who has applied
for enrollment by mid-Novem­
ber should receive an invitation
to a specific session If, however,
the assigned session is incon­
venient or if for any rbason no
invitation is received, prospec­
tive students are urged to attend
any session convenient to them
them until his veins were about
to pop out, but no one would
listen to him. This dream seem­
ed to go on and on. but finally the
morning came When Curtis
woke up. his throat was very
sore and he was hoarse.
While he was driving out to
Vernonia from his home, he was
thinking of all sorts of things that
he could do This dream really
bothered him. It bothered him so
badly that he decided to change
a few things in his classrooms
When the students walked into
class, M r Curtis “ h it them”
with his dream which got a big
laugh Then he told them that he
was going to give them more
work if they didn’t be quiet when
he asked them to. Further more,
he said he would give them an
extra piece of work for every
time they disobeyed his orders.
The history classes are now
watching their “ P ’s and Q’s". At
least while Curtis is in “ one of
his moods ' Curtis s till insists
that his Italian dinner with pizza
has nothing to do with his
dream!

He said that he thought all day

went on to say that there were
six to seven teams up for the
number one spot If Vernonia
runs its best they should come
home with the trophy He said
for three weeks that he’d owed
Melvin Nice a compliment but
couldn't think of anything nice to
say, so he had Nice give three
compliments to the Cross Coun
try team
Nice said the first thing he had
to say was that Pat Curl was the
most motivated athlete he has
seen; second, the number of
people that turn out for Cross
Country, and finally the leader
ship Roberts gives the team
Pat Curl and Chris Collins
were also asked to speak, Pat
thanked the football team and
Nice, for egging them on and
hoped everyone who could would
attend the meet. Chris said that

JOURNALISM
Cl ASK
Personalities Prove
Unusual Surprise
A few of the faculty of VHS
were asked what their favorite
song was, to set* if that song
reflected their personality.
Gordon Crowstons' favorite
song is the “ Tennessee Waltz,”
which shows he has a slow
moving easy mannered person
ality M r Geist’s favorite song is
“ Oh No, Not My Baby," which
shows he has a playboy swinger
type of personality.
Mrs Eckland has a pleasant,
happy personality, as her favor
ite song is, “ Happiest G irl in the
Whole USA.” Mrs. Westerberg
shows she has a romantic per­
sonality, as her favorite song is
"Tonight My Love." Ken Ro­
berts shows he has a rather
unique romantic personality by
his favorite song. "Moon R iver.”
Mrs Hansen shows she has a
far out personality, as her
favorite song is "S tardust." But
the three teachers that top the
weirdo list are A rthur Parrow,
Mike Mckee, and Melvin Nice If
their personalities are anything
like their songs, then there is
absolutely no hope for them
Arthur Parrows favorite song
is “ Rhapsody in Blue", Mike
Mckee’s favorite is “ Classical
Gas", and Melvin Nice’s favorite
song is, “ They call Me Mr
Touchdown.”
It was recommended these
last three teachers take a short
vacation

State Paris
Fees
A change in the rates charged
for overnight camping in Ore­
gon's state parks was proposed
by the State Parks and Re
creation Advisory Committee at
its annual fall meeting in Cor­
vallis Friday, November 2,
according to David G Talbot,
state purks superintendent.
The Committee is recom­
mending to the State Transpor
tation Commission that they
make the following charges for
campsites beginning ypxt sea­
son: $1 for prim itive sites, $2 for
unimproved sites that have in­
dividual water connections but
no sewer or electrical hookups;
$3 for the improved sites which
provide individual water and
electrical connections; and $4
for the trailer sites which include
individual hookups for water,
electricity and sewer.
The present rates are $1 for the
p rim itive sites; $2 for the basic
tent sites and improved sites;
and $3 for the trailer sites
Talbot said that the committee
wishes to have the user fees
remain as reasonable as pos­
sible, yet help provide enough
revenue to make the parks
campground program more self-
sustaining During the last fiscal
year, campground operational
expenses exceeded income by
$370,000
The proposed rate structure
would produce an estimated
$300,000, thus nurrowing that gup
considerably. Also, he said, it
would be more in line with the
fees charged by other nearby
states and the private trailer
park operators.
As an additional means of
cutting campground expense,
the Advisory Committee recom
mended that free firewood
should be phased out “ Acouir
ing and providing firewood for
campers nas become extremely
costly during the past few
years,” Talbot said
Talbot also stated that the
c o m m itte e r e c o m m e n d e d
against a higher fee for out^jf-
state visitors This idea had been
proposed by Patsy Lindsay of
OSPIRG who resented a report
showing that non-resident cam ­
pers were not supporting the
camping program to the same
extent that Oregon campers did
The committee felt that the
potential disadvantages of such
a policy outweighed the benefits
of more income to the state and
conflicted with a modest legis­
latively-approved visitor promo­
tion program
L.L. Stewart of Eugene and
P.M Stephenson of Salem were
reelected as chairman and vice
chairman.

For many anglers the “ w in ­
