R-Ontario. has been selected to serve on the House Task Force on Rules and Procedures. House Spea ker Phil Lang announced Thursday.

A big crowd put dents in the old car and seemed to enjoy pounding away with a sledge hammer. The funniest sight of course was seeing some of our local citizens getting hit in the face with a pie. Many thanks to all who volunteered to receive the 'hit' so to speak. Some of our prize winners didn't get their picture taken so thought I would mention them here. I thought the 'Super Hero* idea of KSRV's was delight ful. This was something the little kids (some of you bigger ones too) could really relate to. Danny and Tony Sillonis, sons of Mike and Janice Sillonis of Parma won $5 each from KSRV for their hero costumes and Tony also won second place at the Gate City Journal. Other Journal prize winners were Jackie Yepez, daughter of Shirley and Henry Yepez, first place and Nichole Runnels, daughter of Dick and Donna Runnels was the third place winner.

Repairs on Adrian Bridge Approved Repairs costing cn esti mated $60,000 to the Snake River (Adrian) Bridge were approved today by the Oregon Transportation Com mission. The repairs are expected to be made without significant interruption to traffic.

A contract for the repair work is expected to be let soon. The preliminary enroll ment figures are in at Trea sure Valley Community Col lege for fall quarter, and it looks as though the college will serve about the same number of students as they did last fall. Comparing the second day of registration for 1977 with the 1976 figures of the same period, total enrollment is down 55 students, but the number of full-time students has increased. Total head count this year is 865, compared to 920 last year. The number of full-time students registered this quar ter is 582, compared to 577 a year ago. In 1976, the college had 343 part-time students, this year 283 have enrolled. College officials point out that, contrary to fall quarter. 1976, most of the community education classes do not start until the week after registra tion. In addition, past history indicates that about 130 full- time students will register after classes start. The official figures will not be available for another three to four weeks, according to Dick DeBischopp. dean of students. At that time, the college will not only know how many total students have enrolled, but will also know the important full-time equi- valancey (FTE) figure. The FTE figure is the basis for state reimbursement and is the number of Oregon students who are enrolled.
