Lazy
Clackamas Community College's standing as one of
the forerunners in removing architectural barriers to the
handicapped student is one we should all take great pride
in.
For too long, the handicapped person with an active
mind but limited physical capacity has been denied a
place in our society. Termed "freaks," "misfits" or
"stupid" simply because their bodies don't function
properly, they have not been allowed to share their
minds and other talents with the rest of the world.
The College is taking the first step in making it
possible for these people to enter the mainstream, but in
doing this are perhaps doing the rest of the students a
disservice.
If the doors in the Community Center mall are any
indication of what is to follow, students on this campus
will forget how to open doors if automatic ones are in
stalled in all the buildings. Students line up four and five
deep just to go through the one automatic door.
Handicapped students have even been seen waiting to
use the door designed for them while other, non
handicapped students, take advantage of the facility.
The College planning department and Associated
Student Government has decided to install lockers in
every building with some of them designated for handi
capped use only. This system will initially be run on the
honor system. We are anxious to see if there are enough
honorable students around to allow the system to work.
After all, if people are too lazy to open a door, they are
probably going to be too lazy to carry their books
around in their two good arms.

Money back
To the Editor:
I would like to take this time (or energy) to voice my opinion a-
bout the monies in ASG and how they are spent, then stick my head
in the ground and not get involved. I would like a refund of my share
of the $34,405 Student Government has control of. If those few
playing at capitalistic oligarchy (under the guise of Student Govern
ment) let go of my money, I promise to continue not to participate
in any programs funded by the ASG.
If as I suspect this proves impossible, I would like my share spent
on funding a special election consisting of a sole measure. This
measure would read:
Associated Student Government? Yes — No —
If this measure seems oversimplified, how about: I would like to
be governed by: (choose one)
A.
B.
C.
D.
Anarchy
Autocracy
Feudalism
Oligarcy
E.
F.
G.
Other
None of the above
All of the above.
If a special election is out of the question, I would like my money
to be shared between Don Bixler and Hallie Brown for the purpose of
funding their tuition into special classes, respectively; "Intro, to
Logic" and "What Employers Look for."
