Diningroom acquiresno-smoking section By Sandy Carter Of The Print i Non-smokers, arise! The In ornate Dining Room is ours! That’s right. No longer must me sit besieged by a gray pall of ¡nicotine fumes, as eyes, noses and throats protest and our hair and clothes assume the odor of a tobacco lobbyist’s boar droom. | Thanks to the effort of Reed Campbell, the ASG senator who made it look very easy, we now have a room-to call our own. All fresh air seeking students, faculty and visitors who have for so long watched, impotent but enraged, as smokers held down the only tables protected by the incon spicuous “No Smoking” signs, may breathe deeply again and utter a silent prayer of gratitude to ASG. A nit-picker might ask, “Why wasn’t it done sooner?” But why dwell in the past. Spread the word, all of you who treasure this new sanctuary from indoor air pollution. The only people happier than us should be the smokers, who have long been the objects of castigating looks and violent fantasies by those of us who tried to eat in the cafeteria anyway and found it a hopeless and endless flight from the Off campus center College to expand In an effort to serve the surrounding population better the College’s Board of Education is seriously looking into the possiblities of establishing an off- campus center for the College, hopefully in the Milwaukie area. There is an immediate urgency for the College to move beyond its friendly Beavercreek confines and expand into other parts of our fast-growing county. Bob Ellis, associate dean of com munity education, has stressed that with Portland Community College’s ex pansion into southeast Portland, with their full-program center on 82nd Ave., that it would actually be just as easy for students living in the North Clackamas area to go north to PCC as it would be for them to go south to CCC. This could obviously pose a threat to the College’s enrollment, which is a good enough reason to be contem plating expansion, but not necessarily the only reason. In a school board meeting Nov. 14, Ellis reported that there are now bet ween 800 and 1,000 students per quar ter coming from North Clackamas high schools but there are no facilities now available in their area to offer daytime classes. These facts make it obvious that the establishment of an off-campus center I” in the Milwaukie area will soon become essential in order for the College to keep up with the county’s continuous expansion to the north of the present campus site. Already the Clackamas Town Center (a project which will include a shopping mall expected to be one of the largest on the west coast, and condominiums initially expected to house 10,000 new residents) is under construction on Sunnyside Road and 82nd Ave. This in flux of new Clackamas County residents is another reason why an off-campus center should be included in the College’s future. It appears that the College has recognized that an off-campus center has become a necessity for the years to come, and has already begun to find some immediate solutions. Ellis has indicated that the College will be working closely with Clackamas County, the North Clackamas School District, the Milwaukie City Council and Education Service District. Clackamas County has already begun a site feasibility study and there is a possibility that all four groups may share a multi-use facility between them. All the details of exactly where a facility will be and the cost factor in volved will be decided in April, but the College has noticed a need for expan sion in the community and has taken positive action in their goal to keep ser ving the community efficiently and ef fectively. curling purple plumes of bur ning “coffin nails.” I urge all who are gladdened by this development to demon strate their support of the clean-air movement at this college by filling the newly gained territory, thereby showing the administration our true numbers. In terms of the future, we must seek a higher profile if we hope to influence school planning in our direc tion. We have to become visible as a faction to be con sidered when the cafeteria is enlarged. Heaven knows fhe smoking population of the College is visible. Scarcely a hall or office goes unpolluted, and even classrooms are not sacrosanct to some students and faculty who cannot or will not control their nicotine cravings. Smokers certainly have the right to pollute their own bodies. But I draw the line at their right to contaminate en closed, commonly used air. Courtesy or cowardice often prevents non-smokers from voicing their objections to cigarette smoking, but I seldom see it interfere with a smoker’s need for a “fix.” Non-smokers, unite. Maybe next time WE can get the room with the windows. Eleven give views What do you think of reinstating the draft? DOUG JONES(19): “I think it’s wrong. It’s a violation of my rights to be forced to do something I don’t believe in, like war. However, if it’s war, I will go.” CARIN CHEEK(18): “I don’t like the idea of it. I don’t think it’s fair to make people go to war. It’s too bad there is no one in government that is able to find another solution other than war.” NORM KUHLMAN (coun selor) : “It concerns me because I have a son of draftable age. We have to have registration before war. It’s vital that the government knows where the national resources are.” NORM BERNEY (coun selor): “I think it’s necessary. But the draft should only be used during actual war time.” ROBIN KOON (1.7): “They’re not taking me. They’re going to be taking guys, so I’m not worried. They’ll be taking people who aren’t in college before me.” BARBARA ERICKSON (31): “It’s something we owe to our country. It’s a way of taking care of ourselves. I do believe that women should be drafted; however, 1 do like one com ment that a woman said: I’ll be, glad to be drafted as soon as the ERA is passed.” JEFF MC CALL (19): “Per sonally, I don’t think there, should be one, unless we ac tually have to. If we did go to war, I’d see the point.” CATHY ZINCK (18): “I don’t like it. I haven’t really thought about it. It seems far away.” JIM NOSEN (25): “I think it’s a scare tactic for Russia. It lets them know that we’re not just talking and we’re ready for action. You have to start registration now because it’s going to take time to get everything set up. We can’t wait for a war time situation.” CHRIS WIBLE (18): “I don’t think it’s needed unless there is a definite threat to the U.S. government. Registration is all right, but chances are, if there is registration, the draft isn’t far behind.” SANDY CARTER (33): “I really think that it wouldn’t hurt any 18-year-old of either sex to put in a year in a basic training situation. Not killing training, but a public service, physical fitness situation. If women want equal rights, they should register for the draft, too.” :^ZZZZaZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZaZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZi£u^ The problems of Russia By Tom Rhodes Of The Print Boy!
