A condition was set, however that a need study be conducted to deter- mine whether a similar program should be added to the curriculum. The lone No vote was cast by Brit- ton who stated, “| fear that when we lose programs such as the Fores- try program, we are losing our uni- queness, we will end up being just like every other community college in the state.” Forestry Gone . . ‘Next, the Board acted on the long-awaited athletics issue. After hearing Ron Ross and Barb Man- ning reiterate the Student Senate’s position favoring athletics one last ~ time, the Board heard from. Max Lindsay, the only Administrator who did not sign the resolution be- fore the Board which was not in fa- vor .of reinstating athletics. Mr Lindsay simply stated, “| just feel that if the students are willing to_ pay for it, they should be able to have it.” Lindsay then sat down amid thunderous applause from the larger than normal audience. Dr. Britton received similar ovation when he made his previously men- tioned comments. Next, Dr, Donnelly spoke out against. reinstating athletics.
