Overstocked in 'paraphernalia’
Bookstore understocked in some t
Students flooded into the Clackamas
Community College bookstore fall term,
finding jogging suits, calculators, book packs,
incense and personalized mugs, but were
often dismayed to find much needed books
unavailable.
"Some instructors ordered too late and
some did not order enough books," said
Moana Wesesend, bookstore attendant.
"We asked for orders in June before
vacation, but we are still getting them,"
said Doug Shannon, bookstore manager.
"Another reason for missing books is
that there are not enough shelves to display
the entire stock. Students don't bother to
ask because of the confusion at this time,"
said Jean Albright, bookstore bookkeeper.
"Students who have jobs and attend
classes are very limited for time, and don't
get first choice so when they get to the
store the books are unavailable," said Debby
Clark, CCC student.
"I just now, today, was able to pick up
an accounting workbook. My sister won't be
able to pick up cost accounting papers until
Nov. 20,'" said Pattie Perse, CCC student.
"She is having to do all her own accounts
on notebook paper."
Kathy Moreland needed a book for elec
tronics but found the shelves empty. She
learned from the bookstore that the supplier
was out. Fifty per cent of the class is using
last year's book.
John Orrelle, psychology instructor, said
the only problem he had this year was in one
class in which he had 35 students instead of
15 like the year before, so he was short on
books.
"I ordered the usual amount of books for
the economics classes I teach but instead of
the usual 60 students enrolled I had 80 this
term so I had to order more books and put
some on reserve in the library until the books
arrived," said Peter Delaney, economics
instructor.

As enrollment increases and new classes
are addedtto the curriculum, the beginning
of the term brings more students to the
bookstore, and long lines of students hoping
to get their books before the supply is
exhausted.
Things should improve in the!
according to Shannon. The overall
laid out for CCC's future, space has
allowed for bookstore expansion, lx]
will be decided by the people who def
priorities.
Workshop offers men help facing transition
"Men in Transition," a workshop to help
people face some of the issues confronting
men today in our culture, will be held Oct.
19 at Clackamas Community College.
CCC faculty observes
foreign language week
Foreign language instructors at Clackamas
Community College will be observing foreign
language week Oct. 9 through 15 by taking
part in an Oregon Association of Foreign
Language, Instructors in-service day Oct. 14.
Attending this in-service day at the inn at
Otter Crest on the Oregon Coast will be CCC
language instructors, Magdalena Ladd, Car
lotta Holley, Nancy Beaver and Dr. Angela
Ayers.
The in-service day will consist of work
shops and discussions of new teaching tech
niques.
President Carter has endorsed National
Foreign Language week in a letter he sent to
foreign language instructors throughout the
nation praising their efforts and expressing
his concern over the declining enrollment in
foreign language classes.
"Friendly and peaceful relations among
nations depend greatly on improved com
munications between their citizens," Carter
said. "Becoming fluent in another language is
one of the finest ways of achieving such im
proved communication and promoting better
goodwill."
"I want to take men into a personal con
sciousness rather than a sex consciousness,"
said Vince Fitzgerald, the CCC counselor
who is teaching the workshop. "These sex
stereotypes have been developed from baby
hood, when a man was given a blue ribbon
rather than a pink one."
"I want the participants in this workshop
to examine some of these stereotypes," said
Fitzgerald, "and determine whether or not
they are what the man really wants to feel
or if these stereotypes have just been laid
on him by someone else "
The workshop will be directed more to
ward internalized transition, commonly cal
led consciousness raising, said Fitzgerald.
He expects that there will probably be
some men involved who are going through
actual crisis types of transitions, such as
having their wives leave them or «
family pressure brought on by social di
