Crisis center offers free, confidential suppor
A service to help students
deal with emotional, medical
or financial problems will soon
be available at the College.
The Student Support Service
(SSS) will be staffed with trained
student volunteers and should
begin within the next two or
three weeks, according to John
Harlan, temporary coordinator
of the program.
This program, started by
Associated Student Government
and currently being developed
by the Student Support Services
Committee, will serve as a place
where students can come to
talk, listen or be referred to
other city or county agencies
that can provide the services
Student volunteers will staff
the center and will be screened
by a committee consisting of
teachers, counselors and student
leaders. They will then attend
a crisis intervention class or
seminars in areas that will help
them serve the students. These
classes
and seminars will be
taught by Harriet Mason, psy
chology instructor at the college.
The SSS will be located in
the student activities office in
the Community Center and any
information given to the counse
lors will remain confidential,
Harlan said. Services will be
offered free of charge to any
full or part time student at the
College.
Anyone with ideas they would
like to see incorporated into
the service or anyone who would
like to help staff the center,
is invited to attend the weekly
meetings on Wednesdays
at
3:30 p.m. in the Community
Center. The student activities
Football finished
demise of football came around,"
said board member Ralph Groe-
ner. "Football became a political
'football' with a few very vocal
people deciding that it (football)
would be the death of Clacka-
mas Community College.
"My concern is a philosophi
cal one in that we should decide
curriculums by whether or not
they benefit the students, not
by who yells the loudest."
Larry Wright is one of the
board members who felt that
the decision should be recon
sidered.
"I felt that because the con
cerns that I had seemed to be
answered," Wright said.
There seemed to be a local
need and we had administrative
assurances that there would be
in-district recruitment and that
there would be better coordina
tion between staff and students
to insure that football players
would finish the academic year,
he said.
After the meeting, Football
Coach Dave Brown assured each
playerthatthey would be assisted
in finding another place to play
football.

The football players will have
to go somewhere else and pay
out of district tuition, according
to Hudson. The College has al
ready lost some students, who
have gone to Mt. Hood.
Professional Activities classes. ’

departure of football players.
Those classes are designed for
those students who are plan

coaching athletics. One

seven former football players

to have at least 12 students to
to continue.
"P.E. majors who want to go
into coaching or teaching foot

else to get the playing experience
they need to get a job," Hud
son said.
“It's really going to be dulls

the younger high school stu
dents who are interested in col
lege life activities,"
he said.
“Without football it's going to
be more difficult for us to
recruit this type of student."

Bunny gives all for science
By Juleen Mehus
For The Print
Buck. Remember that name?
He was the bunny rabbit who
gave his all for science this week
at Clairmont Hall.
Agri-Business students study
ing Animal Anatomy and Physi
ology winter term taught by
instructor Lynn Reagan, have
had some unusual experiences.
Have you ever tried to assem
ble the skeleton of a cat? Do
you know how many bones a
cat has?
Students found that if you
counted all the vertebrae, the
ribs, the metacarpals, the sesa
moids and hyoid you would
have — and then someone would
loose the dewclaws again and
you would have to start count
ing over again.
Have you ever dissected a
bovine
female
reproductive
tract? Have you ever seen an
ovary or an infundibulum? Well,
anatomy students have now.
And then Buck arrived. He
was ah old breeding rabbit
owned by Parbara Pitney. He
was headed for that great bunny
rabbit land in the sky via the
stew.pot. Instead, in the name
of science, he gave his all for the
students in the Animal Anatomy
and Physiology class.]
Buck arrived P.O .A: (de

Insurance offered
during registration
Accident-prone students, or
those who desire accident cov-
erage for any on-campus mis
hap, are being advised to take ad
vantage of the low-cost accident
insurance policy being made a?
vailable during registration.
This accident insurance policy
will, for $5 per term cover al
most anything that occurs on
campus. On-campus accidents wil I
not be covered by the school
for students who do not have
this insurance coverage.
“If a student is involved in
high-risk areas in terms of cam
pus activities such as welding',
auto body, horseback riding or
classes that take them out on
field trips such as geology, the
accident insurance, at $5 per
term is a nominal amount,"
said Bonnie Hartley,
College
nurse. "Especially considering
that if they fall and break a leg,
or sprain an ankle it offers up to
Also being offered is a com
bination accident and medical
plan that covers hospital and
medical expenses for students
and their families.
Primarily designed for 'stu
dents who are living away from
home and who are not covereu
by any other insurance, this
combination policy also offers
a $5,000 major medical.plan.
"The amount of
hospital
room and board coverage is ap
proximately 80 percent of the
basic cost for up to 30 days,"
Hartley said.
For one quarter a student
can be covered for $23.86, a
student and one dependent for
$54.91, and with two or more
dependents the cost is $76.41.
Students who sign up now
for three terms not only receive
reduced rates of $71.58, $ 164.73,
and $229.42 respectively, they
are also covered during the sum
mer and quarter breaks at no
extra charge.
“If they (students) were to
get insurance from one of the
conventional sources," Hartley
said, “they could conceivably
expect to pay twice as much as
what our school insurance costs."
The last day to sign up for
this insurance during spring quar
ter is Friday, April 7. For more
information contact B. Hartley,

in the student activities office.
