Shay's recom- mendation included an $18,200 chassis bid on a 5-speed Riverside International and a $12,769 body bid on a Bluebird from Schol Bus Sales. Bus driver Diane Musser asked Shay why he was recommending a 5-speed rather than an automatic. "I thought you were against a 5-speed," she stated. Shay responded, "Cost." He did go on to say that on the body bid he went with a bid other than the lowest due to quality. A decision on a new bus will be made at the Nov. 29 meeting. A decision on soRball diamond work was also tabled. Coach Tim Dickey asked the Board, "Are you planning on moving the diamond or not?" Referring to his efforts to upgrade the current field amidst discussions of the construction of a new diamond, Dickey asked the hoard for clarification on its future plans regarding the field. After considerable discussion, Shay suggested that Dickey, Pow- ers, and baseball coach Jerry Ford take part in developing an overall plan for soRball and baseball fields. The board will take up the issue at its Febrauty meeting. The possibility of a TV hook-up program with Kirkwood Com- munity College was discussed. At an estimated cost of $I0-II,000, the hook-up would possibly be able to provide coursework for students in Spanish, psychology, calculus, and Russian.
